When I first heard that Rhode Island Governor Lincoln Chafee cited church-state separation when vetoing a bill for Choose Life license plates, I rolled my eyes.

On Monday, Rabbi Aaron Alexander took to the Huffington Post to put the latest face on a tired argument. Happily, he kept it short, so I’m going to break it down piece by piece. Though I’ve hesitated from doing so until this point, I’m going to reflect briefly on abortion. I am not going to […]

The bill is a response to the horrific testimony of ex-employees of abortionist Douglas Karpen, also known as the “Texas Gosnell.” Photo of Texas pro-life […]

And what stars Secular Pro-Life has reached! You caused a thirty percent increase in likes, and as of this writing, the SPL facebook page now has over […]
[Today’s post by guest author Alycia Hartley is part of our paid blogging program.] As a resident of the Midwest, I have come to appreciate the seasons and seeing what was once dead or bare, come to life during the spring and summer. With some hesitancy, small financial investment (this means a lot for a […]
