In this new and fully Republican-controlled legislative session, the 115th Congress, there are currently seven pro-life related bills which have been introduced.

On June 24, 2015 I was raped by the one person that was never supposed to hurt me — my husband. At his hands, I suffered a long history of domestic violence, unwanted sexual encounters, attempted murder and a miscarriage. I hadn’t had sex with my husband since the end of April because he […]
I was very disappointed to hear the horrible news on Monday that in a 3-2 vote, a Senate panel in Chile had agreed to move legislation forward to legalize abortion “in three causes” — if a woman says her preborn child was conceived in rape, if a doctor says a preborn child has a “fatal […]
My name is Elizabeth and I live in Costa Rica. While attending university I was raped and I got pregnant with a beautiful girl who, at the time, I wanted to abort. Of course, as a young person who took care of herself — a good girl — I felt I did not deserve to […]

I want a world where violence does not exist! I want a world where respect exists, and equality and love! Hello, my name is Yazmin, I am Mexican, and I am a victim of child molestation who became pregnant by rape. I would have loved to tell another story where there would be a world […]
I am a mom and pro-life neonatologist — a doctor who takes care of premature and critically ill babies in the NICU — Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. This specialty is not something I had ever heard of as a child, nor was I aware that being “pro-life” or specifically anti-abortion was even reasonable. I grew […]
