I recently read Bill Nye’s Undeniable, on the subject of evolution. I read it purely because of my interest in the evolution versus creationism debate; I didn’t expect it to contain any commentary about abortion. Alas, it seems I can’t escape. Actually, to be precise, the abortion commentary began as a segment about opposition to […]
Focus on the Family is one of the most prominent religious right organizations in the United States. It is highly evangelical and has little in common with Secular Pro-Life. But I give credit where credit is due, and Focus on the Family has come up with a fantastic campaign: #iSEETWO. The concept is straightforward: “When […]
Martin Pistorius and his wife Joanna, via the Daily Mail NPR has the story of Martin Pistorius, who lost all motor function and was diagnosed a “vegetable” but was in fact fully aware of everything that happened around him… for over a decade: His parents, Rodney and Joan Pistorius, were told that he was as […]

The big story this week is the release of Planned Parenthood’s 2013-2014 annual report. Other pro-life news outlets have already hit the high points: compared to the last report, abortions are up, breast care services are down, and taxpayer funding remains incredibly high. If that sounds familiar, it’s because it’s a continuation of the same pattern […]
Without further ado, the most-read stories on our blog in 2014 were… #10: Watch out for this disingenuous “pro-choice” tactic: The “pro-choice” movement no longer wants to be called that. Their next move? To ride on the coattails of genuine good causes by stealing the language of “economic security,” a “safe and healthy environment” for […]
