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 […]
How many times have you heard the claim that abortion is “only” 3% of Planned Parenthood’s services? Wouldn’t you like to have a video that explains, in just four minutes, why that figure is misleading? Now you do, thanks to Students for Life of America: I like the combo meal analogy.

I’ve mentioned once or twice before that I’m an alumna of the University of Miami.

Me (second from left) chillin’ with Respect for Life officers Your SPL president Kelsey Hazzard here. On Saturday evening, I spoke at Fordham University in the Bronx, where I was hosted by the wonderful young men and women of Fordham University Respect for Life. 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.
