National Adoption Month is about to come to a close. Earlier in November, we asked SPL members how adoption had touched their lives. Here’s what you had to say: “I gave my oldest child up in an open adoption. She’s now almost 14 and is a happy, healthy young woman. We just visited with her […]
Hydatidiform moles occur when an egg without a nucleus gets fertilized; this fertilized egg does not have the genetic code of a human organism and will never develop into an infant. Some argue, then, that fertilization isn’t a defining moment and that it’s incorrect to say fertilized eggs are human beings. The Life Training Institute wrote […]
[Today’s post is by Robert Christian, a progressive Catholic. It is a response to last week’s “Election Reflection” blog post. It was originally posted at Millennial and is reprinted with permission.] A recent blog post at Secular Pro-Life addresses the question of whether or not the pro-life movement has the wrong allies. It does. The […]
“It’s not a Christian or a Jewish or a Muslim or a Buddhist issue… it’s common sense.” So says Gary Graham in the trailer (above) for Life Happens, a documentary focused on people who were at risk for abortion. The film’s description promises that director Ash Greyson “skillfully replaces rhetoric and religion with hope and heart.” […]
[Today’s post is by SPL member Clinton Wilcox.] Science can be a wonderful tool in the pro-life advocate’s arsenal. [1] However, science can’t dictate morality, it can only inform morality. Science can tell us that something we are harming or killing is human; science can’t tell us that it’s wrong to kill that human. So […]

Despite America’s pro-life majority, abortion supporters were victorious at the ballot box earlier this month. This is no doubt due to a confluence of many factors. Most pro-lifers are not single-issue voters, and they viewed Obama as better on the economy. Mitt Romney was never a strong candidate to begin with; you’ll recall that pro-lifers […]
November is National Adoption Month! In honor of this occasion, Secular Pro-Life asks that you do two simple things: 1) Educate yourself by reading our pamphlet on adoption, which explains the often misunderstood differences between private adoption and the foster-to-adopt system. 2) If adoption has touched your life– whether you’ve adopted, placed a child for […]
[Today’s post is reprinted from my blog, “Yeah, but…“] If we suddenly stopped arguing about the legality of abortion and just skipped straight to an appeal to morality independent of legality (if that’s even possible), how would people react? Secular Pro-Life once talked about how 68% of Americans believe abortion should be illegal after the first trimester. […]
American Women’s Services, which operates sixteen abortion offices on the East Coast, has an interesting job posting (screen capture below): It’s lucrative! You don’t have to know much about that gynecology stuff! And did we mention it’s lucrative? Honestly, it’s like somebody came across a satirical pro-life piece and said “Hey, that’ll work.”
