Last month, Secular Pro-Life sounded the alarm about a dangerous pro-abortion decision by the Court of Appeals of Indiana. That court sided with plaintiffs who wanted religious exceptions to Indiana’s pro-life law. But the court’s logic was much broader than that, opening the door to any religiously motivated homicide, regardless of the victim’s age. In […]
On May 18, we hosted Secular Pro-Life’s 2nd annual trivia night outside St. Louis, Missouri. It was fantastic. SPL’s primary mission is to advance secular arguments against abortion. But our mission includes two additional parts: make space for non-traditional (especially non-religious) pro-life people, and build interfaith coalitions (people of any faith or no faith) to […]
On May 7th, New York Supreme Court Judge Daniel Doyle removed from the ballot a proposed amendment intended to enshrine the right to abortion in the New York State Constitution. It is unsurprising that the media have labeled the judge as “conservative,” irrespective of the merits of the decision, which appears to be beyond reproach. The New […]
Last week, seven pro-life advocates were sentenced to prison terms for participating in a rescue. They were convicted under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, a Clinton-era law that transforms what would otherwise be a simple trespass charge — for entering an abortion waiting room, distributing roses, and refusing to leave — […]

Did it turn out to be the […]
I have had the honor of serving as a foster parent for the past three and a half years. During that time I have cared for a total of sixteen children, two of whom became legally available for adoption last year and are now my forever sons. In a few short months, they will start […]
In October 2020, nine people entered a building in Washington, D.C. According to the Associated Press, they “began blocking the doors,” “blocked the employee entrance,” and “five of them chained themselves together on chairs.” No violence occurred. Normally, peaceful occupation of a building would, at most, result in a trespass charge. We’ve seen that play […]

Recently we received this message on our Instagram account (reposted with permission) from a follower I will call Emily: Here was my response: Wonderful question! Of course you always have to do what is most comfortable for you, but I would definitely recommend being friends with her. I lived in California most of my adult […]
