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. Times have changed—we’ve gotten older, and Secular Pro-Life has extended its reach […]

Four months from now—in late January—I know exactly where I’ll be. Via Wikimedia Commons, actually. I don’t know who took this photo. Like I said: people notice! I’ll be on a plane to Washington, D.C. to carry the bright blue, massive, you-can’t-miss-it banner in the March for Life. Then I’ll be at the Students for Life […]
[EDIT: A prior version of this article stated abortion rates “per 100,000 women of reproductive age.” The Guttmacher Institute actually uses a rate per 1,000 women. We regret the error.
