Welcome & Thank You...

...for visiting the Blog of the Nonviolent Choice Directory.

We feature commentary but most of all action alerts on the same positive, abortion-reducing measures we cover in the Directory.


These measures include post abortion healing; male responsibility; comprehensive sexual/reproductive health education; all voluntary pregnancy prevention methods, plus rape and incest prevention & treatment; and life-affirming ways to get through crisis pregnancy and beyond.

Along with responding to our current action alerts, and participating in our Blog, you are welcome to volunteer with us.

Response from C-FAM President Austin Ruse

Austin Ruse is president of C-FAM, the ultraconservative Catholic group sponsoring the petition I just discussed, the one that links protection for unborn children to the abortion-causing and otherwise discriminatory imposition of a certain single model of family life.

His response, and my response to that, can be found here.

There are a lot of things Ruse does not address.

A lot of "traditional family values" advocates probably don't want to face this: their ideal world leaves a lot of women with no choice but abortion, and otherwise promote and perpetuate other forms of violence and discrimination, such as LGBT phobia in all its manifestations.

I doubt these family-touting folks will ever persuade others to oppose abortion on any grand scale unless and until they sort through and get past this big implosion of a contradiction. Indeed, some people are troubled by abortion, but because prolife is linked so much to "family values," their questionings of abortion stop or even reverse their tracks.
