Last week I gave three different presentations in the span of about 48 hours in Connecticut: This is the first time I’ve presented on college campuses since I got protested at University of Portland, and I wondered if we’d see a repeat. The University of Connecticut did ask the pro-life club to have mental health […]
Today at Yale University, SPL Executive Director Monica Snyder is giving her presentation “Deconstructing Three Pro-Choice Myths.” Below are all the sources she used for today’s version of the presentation. This is one of several presentations SPL offers, which you can review here. (You can watch a former version of the Myths presentation here; the […]
Update: Since we created the video and transcript below, Tift County District Attorney Patrick Warren has doppped charges against Chandler-Scott, stating “Prosecution is not legally sustainable and not in the interest of justice.” The DA’s office had advised law enforcement to wait until full medical findings were complete before moving forward. It’s unclear why law […]
Hi All – I’m going on a brief, packed speaking trip in Connecticut next week. If you’re around you should come see me. I’ll be giving the following presentations: All of my presentations are thorough and engaging. The Turnaway and Myths presentations are fairly academic, including lists of citations and some deep-dive analyses. The Bridges presentation is more real-world application. All […]
[June 29, 2025 update: Reisinger-Kindle was reprimanded and fined $5,000 by Illinois Dept. of Financial & Professional Regulation. Lawsuit is ongoing. Reisinger-Kindle is arguing the woman who allegedly almost died under his “care” should not be able to guard her identity.Reisinger-Kindle’s attorneys probably (correctly) anticipate that if women can’t have anonymity in seeking legal action, […]

I do think we should outlaw elective abortion–because it kills human beings. But even if we lived in a world where outlawing abortion was impossible, I […]
If you think the following explanations and responses are important, consider supporting our work. One of the most effective ways to do so is to become a monthly donor (check the box for “show my support by making this a monthly donation”). TikTok docs don’t always know what they’re talking about. Note when I say “TikTok doc” […]
On March 7, we hosted Secular Pro-Life’s 3rd 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 […]

Last weekend Oregon Right to Life (ORTL) invited me to open their Together We Advocate conference with Building Bridges, SPL’s keynote presentation that’s all about how to connect to people different from ourselves. Bridges aligns perfectly with two core parts of SPL’s mission: coalition building and creating space for non-traditional pro-lifers, and every single time I’ve presented it I’ve been […]
