No, this is not an April Fool’s– AbortionSafety.com will go LIVE later this week! For those who don’t know, AbortionSafety.com is a free database of medical malpractice lawsuits against abortion providers. Legality hasn’t necessarily made abortion safe; see pro-choice author William Saletan’s series on modern-day “back alley” abortion centers for background on this problem. Women […]
This is Kelsey speaking. I want to address some comments about my personal religious beliefs, or lack thereof. 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 […]
Secular Pro-Life president Kelsey Hazzard will present “Secular Arguments Against Abortion” tonight at 7:00 pm. The presentation will take place in room 104 of the Howell building at UNC-Chapel Hill. This event, hosted by Carolina Students for Life, is free and open to the public. Hope to see you there!
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. One of these projects demonstrated an incredible ignorance of First Amendment law. The same day the story broke, I wrote an email to Karen Pearlman Raab, the school’s Director […]
[Today’s post is by SPL member Megan Hamrick.] It’s World Down Syndrome Day! 9 out of 10 of these beautiful children are never born because of abortion. And even after birth, there are those who believe they are better off dead; that they are drains on our society, that they are not real living people. […]
Backstory here. Josiah is affiliated with the Christian group Abolitionist Society of Oklahoma. You’ve probably seen their “Abolish Human Abortion” graphics on Facebook; they’re excellent with social media.
Kelsey speaking. It’s hard to believe that my graduation from the University of Virginia School of Law is just two months away! In light of this approaching milestone, I decided to revisit an issue from early in my law school career: namely, whether or not the Earle Mack School of Law at Drexel University in […]
SPL member Ward Ricker has produced a couple of useful tools. The first is a quiz that tests your general knowledge of abortion in the United States; it uses neutral language, so both pro- and anti-abortion people can use it and learn something. (I confess that I got one of the questions wrong.) The second […]
