Washington, D.C.—In a video released today by Secular Pro-Life, the mother of conjoined twins challenges the idea that “you don’t have the right to life unless you can live independently of someone else’s body.” Tatiana and Krista Hogan, age five, are conjoined at the head. Because they share brain tissue, and because Krista is partially […]
On October 20, Secular Pro-Life outreach coordinator Kristine Kruszelnicki will participate in an abortion debate with pro-choicer Matt Dillahunty of The Atheist Experience. Both Kruszelnicki and Dillahunty are atheist ex-Christians. Their debate will take place at the Texas Freethought Convention in Austin, TX. Tickets to the convention are still available. We are very excited for […]
Senators Jean Shaheen (pro-choice D-NH) and Bob Casey (pro-life D-PA) have introduced a bill, the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, to improve conditions for pregnant mothers in the workplace. The Act stands little chance of passage due to opposition from anti-business-regulation conservatives in the House. Pro-lifers are understandably skeptical of President Obama’s newfound interest in stopping […]
The Democratic Convention was heavy on pro-abortion messaging, to put it mildly. Pro-life Democrats attempted to moderate the party platform and push a “big tent” strategy on abortion, but were rejected at every turn. In light of that disappointing experience, various commentators have wondered where, if anywhere, pro-life Democrats can go from here. Kristen Day, […]
Last week, I went to a CVS MinuteClinic to have a funny-looking mole checked out. MinuteClinics are staffed by nurse practitioners and physician’s assistants, rather than doctors, which makes them a relatively inexpensive way for patients to take care of minor health issues like a cold or pink eye. Unfortunately for me, the nurse practitioner […]

The first woman had her uterus removed years ago because of surgery for cervical cancer, according to the University of Gothenburg in Sweden. The second woman was born without a uterus. Neither woman was […]
[Today’s post comes to us from The Charlatan, the student newspaper of Carleton University in Ottowa, Canada. Carleton Lifeline president Taylor Hyatt responds to an abortion supporter on campus who was “disturbed” by photos of abortion victims.] I would like to commend Ms. Campbell for voicing her opinion, and her honesty in doing so. I […]
On Friday, the Virginia Board of Health approved new safety regulations for abortion centers in the Commonwealth. I was among the supporters gathered outside as the 13-2 ruling was announced. We stood holding signs with information about troubled abortionists and abortion centers in Virginia. As a pro-abortion group streamed out of the building, one young […]

This Friday, the Virginia Board of Health will once again consider safety regulations for abortion centers. Perhaps the most important of these is a requirement that hallways and doorways be wide enough to accommodate a stretcher in cases of emergency (for why, click on the photo at right to enlarge). Pro-choice groups are strongly opposed […]
