How do mental health professionals deal with abortion?

February 28, 2014/11 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

[Today’s guest post by Chris Rostenberg is part of our paid blogging program.] Many mental health providers in Westchester County, New York, censor speech about abortion in day programs, outpatient or inpatient therapy, group therapy, one-on-one therapy, social clubs and half-way houses. I have a mental illness. I also believe strongly that abortion is a […]

“What if she’s lying?”

February 27, 2014/28 Comments/in Rape Exception /by Monica Snyder

Preface: Many pro-life activists argue that abortion should be illegal even in the case of rape. While SPL does not take a position on the rape exception, we do agree that the rape exception should be discussed with particular sensitivity. Whenever you are discussing topics related to sexual assault, whether in the context of abortion or […]

Best “parasite” I’ve ever heard of!

February 26, 2014/24 Comments/in Biology, Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

Today’s blog post serves as a place to compile sources for the assertions in the above graphic. As an initial matter, let me note that it is not Secular Pro-Life’s position that unborn children must “earn their keep” to have the right to life. (In the same vein, the fact that infants sleep and poop […]

Intrinsic vs. Instrumental Value

February 25, 2014/14 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Clinton Wilcox

Discussion of the concepts of intrinsic and instrumental value goes back at least as far as the ancient Greeks. It has pretty much gone unchallenged for all that time until the last hundred years or so, but even then there really haven’t been any major challenges to the concept. The concept of human beings as […]

Radical Islam and Sex-Selective Abortion

February 24, 2014/10 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

[Today’s guest post by Roger McCormack is part of our paid blogging program.] I wrote recently on this blog regarding the connection between religious chauvinism and sex-selective abortion, using reactionary Hinduism as an example. Sadly, this phenomenon extends to the Muslim world as well. Extremist Islamic subcultures devalue women, and sometimes this devaluation is accomplished […]

Why I am Agnostic and Pro-life

February 20, 2014/63 Comments/in Religion /by Guest Blogger

Today’s blog post is by guest blogger Nick Reynosa.   In a 2010 survey, Americans stated that the group of people that they trust the least is people of no religion. The study went on to say that Americans see irreligion as more suspect than other controversial lifestyles, including homosexuality. In this less than welcoming […]

“To me, it was not an act of murder…”

February 18, 2014/184 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Sarah Terzo

[Today’s guest post is by Sarah Terzo of ClinicQuotes.com.] There are many good reasons for pro-lifers of faith to familiarize themselves with secular reasoning against abortion. Christian pro-lifers often cite religious texts and doctrines to oppose abortion. And while “God hates abortion” may be a compelling argument for fellow Christians, we need to recognize that […]

Confronting the Gruesome Reality of Abortion

February 17, 2014/84 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

[Today’s guest post by Rachel Cox is part of our paid blogging program.] [WARNING: As the title implies, this blog post is highly disturbing. You should not read it if you have a weak stomach.] Most people who see nothing wrong with abortion have that belief because they don’t think an unborn baby is a […]
