1) Donate $50 (or what you can afford) to a domestic violence shelter. You’ve probably already seen the campaign for #50DollarsNot50Shades. The Fifty Shades of Grey movie is coming out tomorrow, and advocates for abuse victims charge that the film glorifies emotional manipulation, stalking, and violence as “romantic.” They’re urging people to forego the movie […]
A broad coalition of pro-life organizations, including Secular Pro-Life, are calling on the Alabama Department of Public Health to take swift action against the Central Alabama Women’s Clinic.

In keeping with the Debunker’s Handbook, let me start by stating the truth.

Recently, a question was posed on our facebook page: are abortionists more likely than the general population of doctors to be male? Male abortionists in the news (such as Kermit Gosnell, pictured) may cause us to perceive the abortion industry as male-dominated. To answer this question, we look to two sources.

Kiessling holds a sign: “Conceived from rape. I love my life.” At the March for Life, I had the good fortune to bump into my friend Rebecca Kiessling. Kiessling, like me, is pro-life and an attorney. Kiessling, however, has a special area of advocacy: she is active in Save the 1, a pro-life organization for […]
In 1979, at a sold-out concert of The Who with approximately 18,000 fans in attendance, the force of the crowd at the entrance caused 11 people to be crushed to death. In 2008, a crowd of around 2,000 Black Friday shoppers flooded into a Long Island Wal-Mart, fatally trampling 34-year-old employee Jdimytai Damour. At the […]
Your president Kelsey Hazzard here. What a whirlwind week! I’m finally home and able to look back on SPL’s incredible advocacy for life on the 42nd anniversary of Roe v. Wade. On Thursday at 11:00 a.m., I gathered with some of SPL’s strongest supporters, both non-theist and theist, to announce Pro-Life Allies, a new coalition […]

Wade in 2013, is a documentary film about the history and future of the […]
