The weather is going to be atrocious, but we’re no fair-weather activists. You can still plan on us to be at the National Mall in Washington, D.C. this morning! The abortion industry doesn’t take the day off when it’s cold. Neither will we. The original plan was to meet in front of the Museum of […]
The anniversary of Roe v. Wade on January 22nd is a somber occasion. It reminds us of the millions of innocent lives that have been lost to abortion in the United States. It is also a very hectic time for many pro-life advocates, myself included. And yet this is, without question, my favorite time of […]
[Today’s guest post by Roger McCormack is part of our paid blogging program.] The tragedy that is late-term abortion recently received the approbation of the U.S. Supreme Court.

A Secular Pro-Life member recently brought 31 States to my attention. This documentary film, which is still in production, tells the stories of courageous women who refused to abort their children who were conceived in rape—only to learn that the laws of their states effectively punished them for choosing life: If you can’t watch the video, […]
[Today’s guest post by Rebecca Downs is part of our paid blogging program.] One of my favorite parts of going to the movies is the trailers. I didn’t know what I was in for when I saw a trailer for Gimme Shelter. From the beginning, it looks intense. A nearly unrecognizable Vanessa Hudgens narrates how […]
[Today’s guest post by Roger McCormack is part of our paid blogging program.] The developing world, often a bastion of religious dogma and radical fundamentalism, reveals a fascinating omission of free inquiry among abortion rights supporters. Amartya Sen, a famed Indian economist, in relation to the recent outrage over endemic rape in India, wrote: One […]
A Secular Pro-Life member recently asked for the source of the claim that young Americans are more pro-life than their older counterparts (which has earned us the moniker “the pro-life generation”). The claim is not based on one particular survey, but on a series of polls over several years. For everyone’s convenience, this blog post […]
