Catching up on events that occurred during my unexpected blogging hiatus, I note that Serge at LTI Blog has been taking on the “Pill Kills Babies” campaign:

• Does a Thin Uterine Lining Support the “Pill as Baby Killer” Theory?
• What if Breastfeeding Kills?
• How to Decrease the Chances That “the Pill” Kills

And then of course, you have the so-called “pro-life pharmacies” that won’t carry the Pill, Plan B, porn, or condoms. Damned abortifacient condoms.

(Do regular pharmacies carry porn? I mean actual porn, not Cosmo or something? I have no idea.)

Some also won’t sell tobacco, which I do think is a genuinely pro-life policy. (Someday when I want to be depressed, I’ll go look up how many “pro-life” politicians also voted for tobacco subsidies. Today is not that day.) Pro-life should mean “protecting human life”, not “conforming to conservative Christian ideas of sexual morality”.

Because of the ads that Consistent Life and Friends Witness for a Prolife Peace Testimony ran in Friends Journal, I got an invitation to do a one-hour radio interview that is much more satisfying than usual. It was an abortion-defending Quaker professor and me who both got plenty of time to say our piece and to be calm and reasonable about it. This is a one-hour show, and it’s up on the web, information below. I thought some of you would be interested in listening in — there’s naturally a lot of consistent life ethic involved when any pro-life Quaker discusses abortion. Note also that comments and ratings will help to keep it visible so that others are more likely to listen in as well.

The program is Northern Spirit Radio’s “Spirit in Action”, or you can go to the direct link here.

I’ve resisted for a long time, too. However, I have just been informed that there is a pro-life, pro-birth control group on Facebook.
