Jezebel recently posted an article entitled “This Is How Much It Costs to Own a Vagina: An Itemized List.” The main point is that hormonal contraception is just one of many female-specific costs; all those tampons, shaving items, and Midol packs add up. This is certainly true, although not really news to me as a […]
[Today’s post is by Aimee Bedoy and Steven Oetjen. It is a shortened version of an article that originally appeared in the Life Matters Journal.] INTRODUCTION A quandary of major proportions faces our nation in this day and age. It could be a matter of life and death for countless persons – we cannot […]
I came across this alarmist item from a right-leaning anti-sharia blog: Wegman’s has put up a sign asking customers buying pork or alcohol not to use a particular checkout line when a Muslim teenager is on duty as the cashier. … If you dont want to handle meat that’s not halal, work for a Muslim butcher.

I haven’t talked much about this publicly, since it’s my position that we should evaluate abortion arguments on their own merits, rather than on the personal characteristics of whoever’s making the argument. But since this has become […]

Kristine: A comment on yesterday’s blog pointed out that “being an atheist does not automatically make one open minded.” In my experience at the rally and atheist convention I would agree wholeheartedly with that statement. Despite the many great and reasoned conversations that we had, there were sadly some who simply refused to form a reasoned argument. It’s […]
[Today’s post is by Kelsey and Kristine!] Kristine: Being a pro-lifer at an atheist event is a little like walking around with three heads. On the one hand, the moment I arrived at the Reason Rally I felt myself at home with those who think as little of religion as I currently do. And yet […]
Last Friday, Secular Pro-Life reported that the Earl Macke School of Law at Drexel University was encouraging its students to participate in pro-abortion “public service” projects.
