This past weekend was both the Reason Rally and the American Atheists Convention. SPL spends a lot of time advocating for secularism in the pro-life movement; last weekend was a great opportunity to advocate for pro-life positions in the secular movement. SPL arranged to have a table at the convention in the hopes of reaching […]
New Hampshire’s House has banned abortions after 20 weeks. The Republican dominated legislature voted 190-109 to approve the measure. The fate of this bill now rests in the State Senate. It’s unclear of Governor Lynch (D) would sign the legislation if it were to pass the Senate. Here’s more from Boston.com: For the fifth time […]
This is Kelsey speaking. I want to address some comments about my personal religious beliefs, or lack thereof. I haven’t talked much about this publicly, since it’s my position that we should evaluate abortion arguments on their own merits, rather than on the personal characteristics of whoever’s making the argument. But since this has become […]
Secular Pro-Life president Kelsey Hazzard will present “Secular Arguments Against Abortion” tonight at 7:00 pm. The presentation will take place in room 104 of the Howell building at UNC-Chapel Hill. This event, hosted by Carolina Students for Life, is free and open to the public. Hope to see you there!
I frequently find myself in abortion arguments with people who just cannot wrap their minds around the idea that I think the fetus deserves human rights. It’s like they believe I just bring up fetal rights as a red herring to distract from my supposed hatred of women. They do not believe the fetus deserves […]
Kristine: A comment on yesterday’s blog pointed out that “being an atheist does not automatically make one open minded.” In my experience at the rally and atheist convention I would agree wholeheartedly with that statement. Despite the many great and reasoned conversations that we had, there were sadly some who simply refused to form a reasoned argument. It’s […]
New independent film October Baby hit theaters this weekend. This film shares the story of a young lady who finds out she is adopted after her mother tried to abort her. . . Despite the film being in a limited number of theaters it ranked 9th in top 10 films during its weekend release. I encourage […]
[Today’s post is by Kelsey and Kristine!] Kristine: Being a pro-lifer at an atheist event is a little like walking around with three heads. On the one hand, the moment I arrived at the Reason Rally I felt myself at home with those who think as little of religion as I currently do. And yet […]
Last Friday, Secular Pro-Life reported that the Earl Macke School of Law at Drexel University was encouraging its students to participate in pro-abortion “public service” projects. One of these projects demonstrated an incredible ignorance of First Amendment law. The same day the story broke, I wrote an email to Karen Pearlman Raab, the school’s Director […]
[Today’s post is by SPL member Megan Hamrick.] It’s World Down Syndrome Day! 9 out of 10 of these beautiful children are never born because of abortion. And even after birth, there are those who believe they are better off dead; that they are drains on our society, that they are not real living people. […]
