[Today’s post is by guest blogger Kara B.] No too long ago, renowned Planet of the Apes cosplayer and animatronics enthusiast Ken Ham catalyzed the most massive synchronized facepalm when he answered a simple question asked by an audience member: “What, if anything, would ever change your mind?” His answer, of course, was along the […]
I reevaluate whether I am really pro-life on a regular basis. I believe abortion is almost always morally wrong. I believe it should usually be illegal. But I typically don’t feel very emotional about it, at least not regarding early-term abortions (the most common abortions). When I think of early-term abortions I don’t feel anything […]
A while ago, I wrote a post on encouraging more secular participation in the pro-life movement and asked readers to give their ideas on how we might increase religious diversity. Thanks to everyone who gave feedback. Here are a few suggestions. Feel encouraged to add more in the comments section, or email us (info@secularprolife.org)! 10 […]
Last week Pro-Life Humanists’ Kristine Kruszelnicki wrote a blog post featured on Hemant Mehta’s Friendly Atheist blog (“Yes, There Are Pro-Life Atheists Out There. Here’s Why I’m One of Them.”) I was pleased and impressed to see that Hemant posted the piece. In my experience working with Secular Pro-Life, pro-choice secularists tend to be very […]

It’s very interesting. I thought the most interesting quote was here: What about for the in-between? The post-abortive women who need […]
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 […]
On Wednesday evening, SPL gave a presentation to the Stanford Students for Life discussing why we need secular arguments against abortion and what some of those secular arguments are. The presentation was followed by a great question and answer session with the students. To see the presentation and most of* the Q&A, click here, or […]
Note: All of the quotes in this blog post are paraphrases, not actual quotes. Meeting at the sidewalk. A couple weeks ago, during the SFLA conference, I met a woman named Wynette who also lives in my area. She asked me to get in touch if I was interested in doing any local pro-life work. […]
The weekend before last I had a wonderful time meeting up with other SPL members and representing Secular Pro-Life at San Francisco’s various pro-life events. On Saturday afternoon, SPL spoke at the Walk for Life West Coast rally, then gathered together and held our banner high for the entire Walk. On Sunday, pro-life atheist Ellen […]
WFLWC 2014 Attendance Broke Records Most years we write a blog post filled with photos examining the religious nature of the Walk for Life West Coast, and the anti-religious nature of its counter-protesters. However, this year we had the honor of speaking at the Walk on behalf of Secular Pro-Life, so this year the blog […]
