Via the Huffington Post: In wake of the U.S. Supreme Court decision in favor of same-sex marriage, Republicans are pushing legislation that aims to protect Americans who oppose these unions on religious grounds. But critics say the language is so broad, the bill creates a license to discriminate that would let employers fire women for […]
Above: the front of the line at the 2015 March for Life in Washington, D.C. You’ve probably seen the black-and-white poster that boldly proclaims: “77% of anti-abortion leaders are men. 100% of them will never be pregnant.” The 77% figure has always struck me as high. I’ve been active in the pro-life movement for about […]
Abortion advocates like to argue that if the right to life is restored, women will just turn to illegal abortions and harm themselves. I’ve previously pointed out why that argument is silly and condescending: [Abortion advocates who make that argument] are saying that the average American woman, living after the reversal of Roe, would be […]

The rallies will take place on July 28, a week from tomorrow. Under the banner #WomenBetrayed, the rallies […]

Above: People who have no idea what they’re really standing for This is probably the most gut-wrenching story I have ever had to report on in my eight years of pro-life advocacy. It is not for anyone with a weak stomach. If you choose not to read any further, know that it is worse than […]
Photo taken at last January’s March for Life in Washington, D.C. On Wednesday, abortion advocates introduced a bill to pay for elective abortions with federal taxpayer funds. The bill “targets the Hyde Amendment, a 1976 provision that blocks federal money from going to pay for abortions, with exceptions for cases of rape or incest or […]
The above tips were created in the context of racial justice advocacy post-Ferguson but apply well to activists in any movement, including the pro-life movement. Below is a lightly edited version of an email exchange I had with a budding pro-lifer earlier this week. Got a question for Secular Pro-Life? Contact us here. Q: I’ve […]
Have you ever encountered a conversation that goes, roughly, like this? Pro-lifer: When I was pregnant, everyone told me I should have an abortion. But today, my child is the light of my life. Pro-choicer: You made a CHOICE about your pregnancy. You’re a hypocrite for trying to take CHOICE away from other women. Of […]
