I am often asked if I know of any non-religious resources for post-abortion recovery. Most post-abortion programs are Christian, with a particular emphasis on doctrines relating to repentance and forgiveness. And for some women, that’s fine. But many post-abortive women are not Christian, and not interested in conversion. They struggle with the same issues of […]
The abortion debate certainly has a tendency to become emotional. There are many logical arguments used to argue for and against abortion, but these can be largely ignored in favor of appeals to emotion (such as trying to argue that pro-life people are trying to take away an important “choice” for women to make).

[Today’s guest post is by the wonderful Melissa Ohden.] “This idea of an infant being born alive in the process of a botched abortion and people not making efforts to resuscitate — I think that’s a myth they like to propagate. It’s just not something that really happens.” So said Jessica Arons, an abortion advocate […]
[Today’s guest post is by SPL member Nathaniel Givens. It originally appeared on his personal blog, Difficult Run.] As a general rule when I’m talking about the abortion issue I’m talking about it primarily in America. And, within that context, I usually refer to those who want abortion to be kept legal as “pro-choice”. I […]

The Guardian reports that famous Chinese filmmaker Zhang Yimou is in hot water for allegedly violating the one-child policy many times over.

Live Action’s press release can be found here, and Jill Stanek has some excellent commentary as well. But really, the video speaks quite loudly for itself: (All dialogue is captioned, so you can watch with the volume off if need be. But I’m not going to declare it “safe for work.” It is extremely jarring […]
Image via iwastesomuchtime.com There has been a wealth of research on the question of why women have abortions. We know from sources such as the Guttmacher Institute (which supports abortion) that indeed, “a lot of it has to do with economics.” In the overwhelming majority of cases, women cite socioeconomic factors like financial strain, career […]
A North Carolina high school pulled a teen’s senior portrait because she had the portrait taken with her baby boy. As ABC reports: A high school student is fighting back after her senior photo was pulled from the school yearbook. The photo shows North Carolina senior Caitlin Tiller holding her now one-year old son. The […]
I recently had an interesting exchange with Ray P., a Secular Pro-Life member and scientist whose current project involves the study of gestational diabetes and insulin production. Of course, I’m thrilled to see an SPL member working to improve maternal health. But Ray has an ethical conundrum: many scientists in his field use cell lines […]
Live Action has released two more videos in its “Inhuman” series of undercover investigations. The videos, from Washington, D.C. and Phoenix, Arizona, show late-term abortion doctors who are willing to leave abortion survivors to die, in violation of the Born-Alive Infant Protection Act. In addition, abortionist Laura Mercer lies to the undercover “patient,” telling her […]
