Two non-sectarian pro-life groups have asked us to share their upcoming programs. Feminists for Life is seeking unpaid interns for the summer and fall: Feminists for Life has telecommuting internship positions available for select pro-life feminists. FFL’s interns have the opportunity to work closely with FFL staff on exciting projects such as The American Feminist and […]
Every year, Americans United for Life puts out its pro-life legal guide, Defending Life. It contains state-by-state data, pro-life model legislation on dozens of subjects, thoughtful commentary, and lots more. It’s written with state legislators in mind, but if you’re at all interested in law or public policy, you should check it out. Click here […]
Above: the author and a fan at last month’s Students for Life of America annual conference If you’re new around here, you may not know that the president of Secular Pro-Life, Kelsey Hazzard, has written a book! It’s called Cultivating Weeds, and it’s a short fictional piece with pro-life themes. We’re selling copies as a […]
Over the weekend, our facebook page crossed the 2000-fan threshold! We’re now up to 2,011 members. Here are our stats from Facebook (click to enlarge): Just over 60% of our membership is female. This doesn’t surprise me at all. Although abortion advocates like to paint the anti-abortion movement as male-dominated, in my experience, women are […]
Happy President’s Day! In honor of the occasion, here are some pro-life quotes from previous occupants of the White House.

On Tuesday night, I had the pleasure of speaking at the University of Mary Washington. The Students for Life club deserves major credit for putting together such a diverse panel. I went first, and was immediately followed by a devout Catholic who talked about the virtue of chastity and how life is a “gift from […]
In “Roe v. Wade: Still Controversial After All These Years,” the women’s magazine MORE features women who changed their positions on abortion. Reporter Melinda Dodd came to us looking for some diverse voices, and we delivered! Three of the ten stories come from Secular Pro-Life members. They’re reprinted below, with emphasis added. On page three, […]
Don’t forget that tomorrow evening, SPL president Kelsey Hazzard will be giving a presentation at the University of Mary Washington. All are welcome. Details are here. Facebook event is here. On Friday, Operation Rescue reported yet another maternal death at the hands of late-term abortionist Leroy Carhart. The victims have been identified as kindergarten teacher […]
These three videos are from a medical-legal-political symposium that was hosted by Americans United for Life on Thursday, January 24 (the day before the March for Life). I was there, and I was very impressed by many of the speakers. But the symposium lasted all afternoon, so in this post I will just showcase the […]
