On Tuesday night, I had the pleasure of speaking at the University of Mary Washington. The Students for Life club deserves major credit for putting together such a diverse panel. I went first, and was immediately followed by a devout Catholic who talked about the virtue of chastity and how life is a “gift from […]
Some religious people suggest you can’t have morality without God, and therefore atheists have no reason to act morally. Some atheists respond by saying we shouldn’t need the threat of eternal damnation to inspire us to act decently. As an agnostic, I don’t see why a belief in God is necessary in order to want […]
In “Roe v. Wade: Still Controversial After All These Years,” the women’s magazine MORE features women who changed their positions on abortion. Reporter Melinda Dodd came to us looking for some diverse voices, and we delivered! Three of the ten stories come from Secular Pro-Life members. They’re reprinted below, with emphasis added. On page three, […]
Don’t forget that tomorrow evening, SPL president Kelsey Hazzard will be giving a presentation at the University of Mary Washington. All are welcome. Details are here. Facebook event is here.

[Today’s entry is re-posted from “Yeah, but…“] Disclaimer: I know both pro-choicers and pro-lifers who understand fetal development. The following post is not meant to address everyone, but to specifically address the people who remain ignorant. Mary Elizabeth Williams at Slate.com wrote a piece explaining that she understands abortion takes a human life, but that “some […]
These three videos are from a medical-legal-political symposium that was hosted by Americans United for Life on Thursday, January 24 (the day before the March for Life). I was there, and I was very impressed by many of the speakers. But the symposium lasted all afternoon, so in this post I will just showcase the […]
At Live Action News, Christina Martin reviews Cultivating Weeds, the novella by Secular Pro-Life president Kelsey Hazzard. It’s already gotten positive reviews from Abby Johnson, Josh Brahm, and Stand for Life; now, Live Action adds its voice in support: Cultivating Weeds is a story of redemption and hope. It’s an inspiring picture of what can […]

In my previous article on Personhood, I explained that what makes us “persons” (if you must use the term) is our inherent nature as rational, moral agents. While I tend not to focus on personhood arguments unless the topic is broached by the other person, I can only see one reason for disqualifying the preborn […]
[Today’s guest post is by SPL member and adoptive mom Nicole Wood.*] Early in 2011, I met my son. He was scared, he did not speak, his appearance was unkempt, he cowered in a corner making little eye contact. I was told that he was thought to be deaf and I would need to learn […]
