We asked our followers on social media: “Question from a commenter specifically for atheists & agnostics (whether pro-life or pro-choice, doesn’t matter). IF you believe humans warrant more consideration/protection/resources/defense than other species, why?” Mind that IF; we know that the secular, pro-life, and animal rights movements sometimes overlap! But the attitude toward human exceptionalism among […]
We all heard the sky-is-falling takes after Dobbs was announced: Pregnant people won’t be able to access life-saving care! Women will be dying in the streets! Doctors will be jailed for trying to save their patients! If you’re happy about the Supreme Court’s decision, you’re a monster! Inconveniently for the abortion industry narrative, the assumption […]
We asked our followers on social media: “If people had to pass a quiz on abortion before voting on abortion-related measures, what questions would you want the quiz to include?” Here are a few of the top responses, lightly edited for clarity.

Absent such adoption, these […]
Once a month or so, the Secular Pro-Life blog features a short interview with a pro-life atheist. (See the full series of interviews here.) Although Secular Pro-Life is not exclusively for atheists, historically atheists have played a key role in the organization. As atheists become more prominent in the pro-life movement generally, we’re excited for the opportunity […]
Secular Pro-Life is heartbroken that peaceful pro-life advocates, including pro-life atheist Herb Geraghty, have been convicted under the FACE Act. The D.C. jury’s guilty verdict, announced yesterday afternoon, exposes the defendants to up to eleven years in federal prison. The judge excluded key evidence from the trial. The jury’s verdict was not fully informed. Secular […]
Secular Pro-Life recently interviewed Sheri Petruso, the Executive Director of Birthright St. Charles (a short drive from St. Louis, MO).

We thank Sheri for her dedication and for sharing her insights with us. Tell […]
Our Executive Director, Monica Snyder, will speak at the Samaritan Summit in Nashville, TN on Wednesday, September 20. That’s just five weeks from today!

Mx. […]
