I believe that language plays a huge role in the abortion debate. And while the terms “pro-life” and “pro-choice” have been analyzed to death (no pun intended) by countless authors, there are many words and phrases, used in everyday life, that affect our cause in more subtle ways. Many are unwittingly used by pro-life advocates […]
This Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, Secular Pro-Life will have a table for the pro-life emphasis week at Liberty University. The pro-life emphasis week is a project of Lifeline, the school’s pro-life student organization. Come by any time between 8:00am and 4:00pm for information, conversation, and goodies.

You wouldn’t know it from the major network coverage, but abortionist Kermit Gosnell is currently facing trial for multiple counts of murder. Witnesses are giving horrifying testimony of Gosnell beheading live newborns. Kirsten Powers puts it better than I can in this USA Today piece: Infant beheadings. Severed baby feet in jars. A child […]
And Then There Were None’s “Exodus” campaign this Monday was a great success, with five people reaching out for help to leave the abortion industry! And speaking of ex-abortion workers, two former nurses have some illuminating things to say about Planned Parenthood in Delaware: Jayne Mitchell-Werbrich, former employee said, “It was just unsafe. I couldn’t […]

Last Thursday, Secular Pro-Life president Kelsey Hazzard visited Columbia University to give a presentation on secular opposition to abortion.

[Today’s entry is re-posted from “Yeah, but…“] Stumbled upon this Elle story about men who don’t want to be fathers but are “forced”* to by their pregnant partners. Dubay’s argument was that while his girlfriend was permitted by the Constitution to end her pregnancy for any reason, he had no comparable right, in violation of […]
Tonight at 8pm Eastern, Secular Pro-Life president Kelsey Hazzard will give a presentation at Columbia University. It’s the same presentation as last week at the University of Richmond, but this time it will be recorded, so look out for video next week! Of course, nothing beats being there in person, and we’d love to see […]
[Today’s entry is re-posted from “Yeah, but…“] We hear a lot about bodily rights during the abortion debate. Moving beyond the abortion debate to society in general, I think it’s clear that bodily rights are fundamental. It seems most other pro-lifers think it’s clear too. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a pro-lifer that says they’d […]
A big story out of Florida broke late on Friday, so you might have missed it. Florida is considering legislation to provide care for babies who are born alive in failed abortions. (A federal Born-Alive Infant Protection Act was enacted during the Bush administration, but pro-life legal eagles have encouraged the passage of state-level versions […]
