[Today’s guest post is by Chris Perez.] Working women of childbearing age and the public at large have taken quite an interest in the recent story of Peggy Young, a former UPS employee who alleges that she was discriminated against for being pregnant. This case has gone all the way to the Supreme Court and […]
When I first became involved in the pro-life movement, as a student at the University of Miami, our Respect Life club created UMiamiPregnancy.org. At the time, it was a pretty basic site (it looks much better now, thanks to a new class of students), but we were proud of it because we knew that it would […]
By now, you’ve probably heard about the arrest of Oklahoma abortionist Nareshkumar Patel. He “is being accused of fraud, telling women they were pregnant when they weren’t and then giving them abortion-inducing drugs.” Nothing about the abortion industry truly surprises me anymore, but this did strike me as a little odd. Are there not enough […]
[Today’s guest writer is anonymous.] It’s easy to dismiss online pro-life work as slacktivism. Sure, you might say, sharing your opinion on the internet will expose you to ad hominem attacks and insults—but if you really want to make a difference, go volunteer in the real world, reaching out to abortion-minded women. And of course […]
I’d like to think that if I were pro-choice, I wouldn’t be freaking out about abortion pill reversal. In a nutshell: a mother who takes the first pill (mifepristone) of the chemical abortion, then regrets it, is prescribed the pregnancy hormone progesterone to prevent the embryo’s death.

Polls consistently show that a strong majority of self-identified non-religious Americans call themselves pro-choice. That’s in stark contrast to the American public at large, which is roughly 50-50, though leaning pro-life in recent years. Some pro-choice atheists use this polling data as evidence that the pro-choice position is correct. The argument, in a nutshell, is […]
On Wednesday, the Supreme Court heard arguments in Young v. UPS, which concerns the interpretation of the Pregnancy Discrimination Act. The interpretation being advocated by the defendant would seriously undermine protections for pregnant mothers in the workplace—creating increased pressure to abort. As a result, the case attracted numerous amicus briefs, including one signed by 23 […]
I’m curious for pro-life and pro-choice feedback on the above video. (Watch it first; spoilers ahead.) First the criticism: I do find it kind of annoying when pro-life authors make unborn babies “speak.” I see it all the time, especially in poems, and it just comes across as… kinda cheesy. Pro-choicers would probably attack it […]
Although treatment options have progressed substantially, so that HIV-positive people are now able to live long and healthy lives, it’s still important to be knowledgeable about HIV/AIDS. Here are some things you can do as a pro-life advocate to commemorate World AIDS Day. Educate your social media network about HIV/AIDS prevention. You’re probably used to […]
The Thanksgiving holiday has passed, but there is still much to be thankful for. Here are a few more individuals who have written SPL with messages of thanks: Heather Crandall wishes to thank Shirley Joslin, the sidewalk counselor who saved the life of Heather’s son Judah. Heather also thanks the volunteers and staff of the […]
