Roe v. Wade Overturned

Hello, our dear readers, As you are aware, the court decision enshrining abortion as a right on a federal level, Roe v. Wade, was overturned on June 24 last week. As you might guess, we at Morning Walk are ecstatic. We have organized five trips to Marches for Life in Washington D.C., Chicago, and San Francisco. We have written articles defending life.  And we took on the heavy task of pondering the reality of abortion in America, opting to raise this issue with friends and acquaintances from all walks of life. Looking back, every chance we had to give the … Continue reading “Roe v. Wade Overturned” →

Morning Walk March for Life 2022

Dear Readers, It has been three years since Morning Walk launched the Morning Walk website.

Over the past three years, we have published over 150 articles, organized several Morning Walk meetings throughout the country, been to the March for Life in D.C., Chicago, and San Francisco, and hosted our first conference and convention. Last year, we were not able to arrange a trip … Continue reading “Morning Walk March for Life 2022” →

Why Abortion Must Be Dismantled Culturally

Abortion is the greatest injustice of our time. Over 3,000 children are aborted every single day in the United States. Pope Saint John Paul II taught that the deliberate destruction of human life is a symptom of a deeper loss of human respect. It is jarring to hear abortion called a symptom and not the central difficulty. For the past two years, I have been working full time in the pro-life movement and after having thousands of conversations on campus, I realized that not only is Saint John Paul’s assessment correct, it is essential to understanding the pro-abortion mindset. The … Continue reading “Why Abortion Must Be Dismantled Culturally” →

A Subhuman Creature

“The subhuman is a biological creature, crafted by nature, which has hands, legs, eyes and mouth, even the semblance of a brain. Nevertheless, this terrible creature is only a partial human being. Although it has features similar to a human, the subhuman is lower on the spiritual and psychological scale than any animal.” [1] Such is the state of the human fetus. It has human features like a face and eyes and even a forming brain, but it is just a clump of tissue, with no rights or value to call its own. It can be discarded through medication or … Continue reading “A Subhuman Creature” →

An Update from Morning Walk: Looking Forward to the March for Life 2020

Dear Readers, It has been a year since Morning Walk launched the Morning Walk Website. For those of you who don’t know, Morning Walk is a community of young traditional Christians from all three branches – Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant.

We make an effort to go in depth intellectually, encouraging debate about controversial and sensitive issues.

An Orthodox Christian’s Reflections on Abortion

This is a pro-life article by a pro-life author. This article will not, however, lay out arguments against abortion. I rather want to use the topic of abortion to muse on what I believe to be an even larger issue. What worries me most about abortion is not the 60-million-plus terminated pregnancies in the United States since Roe v Wade. It isn’t the systematic dismembering of babies’ organs during the surgical procedure or the disproportionate fraction of terminated pregnancies among American minority groups. What worries me the most about abortion is the millions of cases in which a woman had … Continue reading “An Orthodox Christian’s Reflections on Abortion” →

Halakhah and New York’s Recent Abortion Law

A month from its signing, I examine New York’s recent abortion law (the Reproductive Health Act, or RHA) under the lenses of Jewish law (halakhah). The RHA institutes two major changes: 1) it takes abortion out of laws regarding criminal activity, and 2) it allows abortion when “the patient is within twenty-four weeks from the commencement of pregnancy, or there is an absence of fetal viability, or the abortion is necessary to protect the patient’s life or health” (page 2, lines 46-49). This means that doctors performing abortions cannot be charged for carrying out unlawful abortions. Moreover, the law narrows … Continue reading “Halakhah and New York’s Recent Abortion Law” →
