Everything’s bigger in Texas… including, unfortunately, hypocrisy. In the past year, Texas has seen major progress in its laws protecting the lives of preborn children.

As a resource for all of you internet debaters out there, Secular Pro-Life is proud to introduce Not1in3.com!

Yesterday was an election day. That’s all that anyone’s going to be talking about today. And that makes things a little tricky for us, since A) SPL isn’t really involved in electoral politics (because we’re non-partisan, and also we couldn’t afford to organize a 501(c)(4) even if we wanted to), and B) we generally write […]

Of particular concern to pro-lifers, the November 4th election will determine control of the Senate, which approves Supreme Court nominees.
