• A Single Drop in the Ocean takes exception to a PETA ad that equates eating meat with the pro-life issue.
• Moral Outcry lauds the work of a Colorado pastor who established Project 1:27, which “turned 875 children in the Colorado foster system who were waiting for adoption (not all foster children are eligible to be adopted) just a few years ago into zero.”
• Down on the Pharm answers critics of pharmacists who refuse to sell the morning-after pill to men, and explains why some refuse to sell it at all.
• Pro Life NZ responds to bigthink.com blogger Adam Lee’s “challenge” questions for pro-lifers, which are really nothing more than tired, old pro-choice talking points – including the fallacy of equating natural death with death by abortion.

• Reflections of a Paralytic says that despite the often-repeated mantra, abortion on the disabled unborn is neither moral nor compassionate:

  Several neonatologists have drawn up a procedure which enables euthanasia of premature newborn infants or those presenting a handicap in one of the three following instances: either the infant has no chance of survival, or it is deemed to only have a very mediocre quality of life, or the outlook is poor and it is felt that the infant will suffer unbearable pain.
  The Groningen Protocol [Dutch infanticide protocol] caused quite a stir in Belgium and a great many medical practitioners are of the opinion that since a “therapeutic” abortion is possible right up to the day before birth in the event of the child being handicapped, euthanasia of newborns ought also to be allowed under the same conditions.
  
• Operation Rescue has information on the case of a patient who suffered severe blood loss after a possible “chemical abortion gone bad” in Cleveland, Ohio:
