Men and abortion: Living with abortion
By Dave Andrusko I do not know William Gensert or anything about him. I just know that several friends forwarded me a link to a story he posted on The American Thinker headlined, “Living With Abortion.” Just as there is no “typical” post-abortion story from the...
Post-abortive pastor calls for an end to pulpit silence on abortion
By Susan Michelle “There is a reason why ‘mother,’ ‘baby,’ and ‘abort’ have been changed to ‘a woman’s right to choose'; it’s a marketing ploy designed to hide a brutal practice.” Those are the words of Shane Idleman, founder and lead pastor of Westside Christian...
How abortion affects men
By Eric Metaxas Editor’s note. This ran the Friday before Father’s Day but the topic is ever-timely. It’s good that women are finally beginning to share the pain of their past abortions. But the fathers of those lost children need to be heard -- and helped -- as well....

Understanding that abortion involves more than a mother and the unborn child
Editor’s note. On September 19, I posted the story, “Men and abortion: ‘Fighting in vain to save the life I helped create’” The computer techies at NRLC tell me it was read a lot. Good, because the topic was and is immensely important. The post was inspired by...
