[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. Unfortunately, it’s too late to change the graphic.] Last week, Hemant Mehta (the Friendly Atheist) spotlighted an interactive map from the American Values Atlas, which […]

Last year, we attended the first annual Vita et Veritas conference at Yale University (photo above), bringing together pro-life leaders throughout New England. It was a great success, so here we go again! SPL president Kelsey Hazzard will once again be part of an interfaith panel (last year’s included a Christian, a Muslim, and a […]
On Sunday night, SPL appeared on Atheist Analysis for what was intended to be a one-hour podcast. It wound up being closer to two hours. Nobody had any sudden pro-choice to pro-life conversions (or vice versa), but it was a great discussion and we found a lot of common ground. Watch/listen below, and let us […]
I had a great time at College of Wooster. It’s a very, very small school, so I wasn’t expecting a University of Georgia-sized crowd (which is good, because I didn’t get one). But what the audience lacked in quantity, they more than made up for in quality. It was a mixed group—pro-life and not, secular […]

Various media outlets have hailed the invention as an incredible breakthrough […]
[Editor’s note: Texas gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis recently disclosed that she had an abortion after her daughter was prenatally diagnosed with a neurological disorder. This post had already been written and the timing is a coincidence.] Last week, in 8 Things “After Tiller” Left Out, we made the point that although the film emphasizes cases […]

[Today’s guest post by JoAnna Wahlund is part of our paid blogging program.] I recently saw the movie “The Giver” (and loved it, just as I’ve loved the book since childhood). It’s still fairly fresh in my mind, so perhaps that’s why I […]
[Today’s guest post by Maria Tsikalas is part of our paid blogging program.] Social media is erupting this week in the latest abortion-related controversy: PBS’s decision to air “After Tiller” on Labor Day. “After Tiller” is a documentary that examines the motivations and difficulties of four late-term abortionists—LeRoy Carhart, Warren Hern, Susan Robinson, and Shelley […]
