Gregory Lobo
Biography
Gregory Lobo is a Junior at Seton Hall University working toward his B.A. in History. He believes that history is a key to creating a passionate pro-life movement, due to the ugliness of the historical context of abortion advocacy.
He was recently chosen to be the historian of the pro-life club in his college campus, Pirates For Life. Besides using words and history to defend the right to life, he enjoys playing video games and watching and reading about sports, especially hockey.

I was born with spina bifida, which was given in a prenatal diagnosis. When my parents went in for one of the scans after the diagnosis, the radiologist told them that “[They had] already diagnosed this, so why haven’t [my parents] taken care of it”? The idea that prenatal diagnosis is used to justify abortion is highly offensive to me. I believe that the reason that God made me the way that I am so that I could have this story and be so personally attached to the pro-life movement and to give me a unique position to speak out against the culture of death. As such, I feel a moral obligation to speak out against this culture, especially when it is in response to a prenatal diagnosis.
On Tuesday, in a stunning move–especially because both candidates for Conservative Party leadership, and thus, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom said they did not want it done–the parliament of the UK voted to legalize abortion in Northern Ireland.

One of the most interesting things about the history of the NHL is the Guardian Project, when the late comic book legend Stan Lee partnered with the NHL to create a superhero based on each team.

We knew this was coming, but it just happened today. Governor Phil Murphy signed the bill and assisted suicide is now legal in New Jersey.

Religious Hate Speech: A Creation of Secularists?
On the 3rd day of CSW, I went to an event called “Gendering the Debate on Religious Hate Speech”. I went to that event, sat through it for over an hour, and still don’t know what it means to gender a debate on hate speech, or how one goes about that, which is telling. There […]
