Daniel Henninger writes: No other public policy has divided the people of the United States for so long and so deeply. Abortion is America’s second civil war. . . . Across the 40 post-Roe years, the idea of a deeply personal decision, or choice, has taken a back seat to the hard face of public […]
I am often asked if I know of any non-religious resources for post-abortion recovery. Most post-abortion programs are Christian, with a particular emphasis on doctrines relating to repentance and forgiveness. And for some women, that’s fine. But many post-abortive women are not Christian, and not interested in conversion. They struggle with the same issues of […]
[Today’s guest post is by SPL member Nathaniel Givens. It originally appeared on his personal blog, Difficult Run.] As a general rule when I’m talking about the abortion issue I’m talking about it primarily in America.

Read this fabulous editorial from James Taranto of the Wall Street Journal: ‘Stop Being a Baby’: Infanticide and the infantilization of women. The Guardian reports that famous Chinese filmmaker Zhang Yimou is in hot water for allegedly violating the one-child policy many times over.

As ABC reports: A high school student is fighting back after her senior photo was pulled from the school yearbook. The photo shows North Carolina senior Caitlin Tiller holding her now one-year old son. The […]
I recently had an interesting exchange with Ray P., a Secular Pro-Life member and scientist whose current project involves the study of gestational diabetes and insulin production. Of course, I’m thrilled to see an SPL member working to improve maternal health. But Ray has an ethical conundrum: many scientists in his field use cell lines […]
Live Action has released two more videos in its “Inhuman” series of undercover investigations. The videos, from Washington, D.C. and Phoenix, Arizona, show late-term abortion doctors who are willing to leave abortion survivors to die, in violation of the Born-Alive Infant Protection Act. In addition, abortionist Laura Mercer lies to the undercover “patient,” telling her […]
[Today’s post originally appeared on the Americans United for Life blog.] Jack McMahon, the defense attorney for Kermit Gosnell, is a friendly guy. Before the trial began, he chit-chatted with pro-lifers in the gallery. He couldn’t discuss the case, of course, but he shared funny stories and talked golf. He seemed like a nice man. […]
