I’ve mentioned once or twice before that I’m an alumna of the University of Miami. On Saturday, I attended Miami’s homecoming game against UNC, and while the football was great (and we won), what really made it special was an appearance by Jim Kelly.

Earlier this month we received an email from a supporter named Sarah, who wrote in with a suggestion for a blog topic: I don’t know if anyone’s done a piece on Gisella Perl, but I find her to be fascinating. She was a Jewish gynecologist forced to work as a doctor in Auschwitz, and one […]
For those of us in the United States, November 4th is election day. Of particular concern to pro-lifers, the November 4th election will determine control of the Senate, which approves Supreme Court nominees.

Unexpectedly, the audience was entirely pro-life.* This rarely happens when I […]

In the past week or two, an article entitled How Do You Change Someone’s Mind on Abortion? Tell Them You Had One has been making the rounds. The title is slightly misleading; the bulk of the article focuses on gay rights activism, specifically, the connection between personally knowing an LGBT person and increased support for […]
Several readers have asked me to discuss the Brittany Maynard story. Your wish is my command. For those who somehow aren’t aware, Brittany Maynard (right) is a young woman, only three years older than me, who has been diagnosed with a very aggressive form of brain cancer. Doctors informed her that she could not be […]
Once upon a time, pretty much all that Secular Pro-Life did was create religiously neutral brochures for other pro-life groups to use. SPL’s founders were campus activists at the time and we saw a desperate need for handouts without Bible verses on them.
