The Susan B. Anthony List has announced that five presidential candidates– Michele Bachmann, Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul, Tim Pawlenty, and Rick Santorum– have signed on to its Pro-Life Presidential Leadership Pledge.

Jill Stanek directs a disturbing Chicago Tribune article to our attention. It documents an extraordinary number of abortion complications in the state of Illinois, many of which go unreported. Abortion centers are supposed to report complications to the Department of Public Health, but of course, we really can’t trust them to report on their own […]
Domestic News: In Pennsylvania, their State Senate just passed a bill by an overwhelming margin (38 to 12) to establish new, safety regulations for abortion clinics. In addition to inspection requirements, any clinic which offers abortions after the 9th week of pregnancy would be required to register as an “ambulatory” surgical facility much like an […]
Seven GOP hopefuls will participate in a televised debate in New Hampshire at 8pm. CNN has the broadcast. Secular Pro-Life is a non-partisan organization.

Domestic News: In Maryland, Americans United for Life are coming to the aide of crisis pregnancy centers. County and City municipalities have been passing recently requiring crisis pregnancy centers from posting explicitly that they do not perform abortions and additional requirements in some areas. On Tuesday, the AUL filed a brief regarding the Fourth Circuit […]
Via Operation Rescue (warning: gross): Operation Rescue has been notified that the Texas Commission of Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has determined that Whole Women’s Health of McAllen has violated Texas laws regarding the disposal of fetal remains from abortions. The TCEQ has now closed their investigation and referred the matter to formal enforcement. Operation Rescue received […]
Secular Pro-Life is youth-led and has a majority youth membership. But we are not, officially, a youth organization. We welcome older adult supporters. I believe that we can learn a lot from more experienced pro-lifers. Dr. Steven Zielinski– whom I affectionately call Dr. Z.– has been involved in the pro-life movement for decades. He is […]
