Secular Conscientious Objectors?

July 2, 2012 /3 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

NBC Philadelphia reports on an upcoming merger between two Montgomery County-based hospitals: Holy Redeemer Health System (Catholic) and Abington Health.  One effect of this merger is that Abington Health will no longer perform abortions.  As Abington Health President and CEO Larry Merlis explains, We wanted assure that we would be able to provide assurances that […]

I Award You No Points.

June 29, 2012 /21 Comments/in Biology /by Monica Snyder

So apparently there’s this podcast called Ask an Atheist (AaA) that asked their listeners to provide non-religious reasons to oppose abortion.  On June 17th, AaA discussed these responses and other abortion-related topics during their show entitled “The Other A-word.”   Listen to the full show (or download it) here.  Please note: the online audio clip displays […]

We are here.

Since SPL’s presence at the American Atheists Convention, we have had multiple people accuse us of being a secretly religious/Christian group, and insist that there is no such thing as a non-religious pro-lifer. According to this recent Gallup report, 19% of atheists, agnostics, and those with no religious preference identify as “pro-life.” While Gallup’s findings […]

No Abortion Clinics in Mississippi?

June 25, 2012 /10 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

Hinds County: location of the only remaining abortion clinic in Mississippi. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Mississippi  may be the first state to have zero abortion clinics. Beginning July 1, all abortion-clinic physicians must have admitting privileges at a local hospital under a law passed by the Republican-led Legislature and signed by Republican Governor Phil Bryant in […]

No one wants to give that impression.

June 22, 2012 /18 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

Interesting piece by pro-choice author Jeannie explaining why mandated transvaginal ultrasounds should not be likened to rape.  I don’t agree with her on every count–for example I don’t see how anti-abortion folks are to blame for imagery purported by abortion rights activists–but I still think her overall message is valid, particularly her 3rd point. Arguments that […]

“The only good abortion is my abortion.”

June 21, 2012 /18 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

Maggie Koerth-Baker describes a heartbreaking situation in which the fetus she tried desperately to conceive has a chromosomal abnormality and is going to die.  Maggie considers whether or not to have an abortion, as opposed to waiting around to miscarry.  She points out that many people who are against abortion in general are less likely […]

Happy Father’s Day

June 17, 2012 /2 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

The Economist reports on the studies conducted by Dr. Sonja Lyubomirsky, a psychologist investigating correlations between parenting and life satisfaction. [Dr. Lyubomirsky] found that, regardless of the year the survey was conducted, parents had higher happiness, satisfaction and meaning-of-life scores than non-parents. … Moreover, a closer look showed that the differences in happiness and satisfaction […]

“When the unborn baby is no longer unborn.”

June 15, 2012 /9 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

I have written previously about the emotional numbness that can come with arguing about any topic frequently enough.  I’ve discussed and debated abortion so often for so long that nowadays I find I tend to get angrier over egregious errors in logic than I do over flagrantly pro-choice mentalities.  I used to worry that this […]

Volunteer!

June 11, 2012 /3 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

It’s easy to spend a lot of time discussing the issues close to our hearts.  It’s not as easy finding time to get more pro-active.  For many of us (hopefully) summer means a more flexible schedule.  I encourage you all, if you don’t already, to take some time for volunteer work this season. I work […]

New Male Contraceptive?

June 8, 2012 /1 Comment/in Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

As TIME reports, researchers at the Centre for Reproductive Health at the University of Edinburgh have discovered a gene (Katnal1) that appears to be crucial to sperm production.  They found that mice with mutations in Katnal1 are infertile.  If a drug can be developed to target Katnal1, the drug could serve as a non-hormonal, reversible, […]
