Last week, pro-life advocates rallied outside the Illinois state capitol in opposition to Senate Bill 1909, a proposal to crack down on pregnancy resource centers (PRCs). Our very own vice president Terrisa Bukovinac, in her role as the leader of Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising, spoke at the rally and led the protestors in song. SB 1909 […]
Leroy Carhart, infamous as one of the few doctors in the United States to openly advertise abortions in the third trimester, died last week of natural causes. Unlike the unborn children he ruthlessly targeted, Carhart enjoyed a long life. He was 81 years old. Carhart was a champion of the partial-birth abortion method (euphemized by […]

As atheists become more prominent in the pro-life movement generally, we’re excited for the […]

The convention will take place on June 23 and 24, 2023. Kelsey’s talk will be on the second day (time TBD). Fittingly, June 24 is the first […]
