Jill Stanek directs a disturbing Chicago Tribune article to our attention. It documents an extraordinary number of abortion complications in the state of Illinois, many of which go unreported. Abortion centers are supposed to report complications to the Department of Public Health, but of course, we really can’t trust them to report on their own […]
Seven GOP hopefuls will participate in a televised debate in New Hampshire at 8pm. CNN has the broadcast. Secular Pro-Life is a non-partisan organization. But since the Obama administration has embraced pro-abortion policies, and Obama is very unlikely to face a challenge from his own party, we can’t deny that there is a lot at […]
Leadership board member Michelle Z. shared this image, noting that it’s been circulating on Tumblr. These analogies only work if you avoid those pesky “difficult concepts” from science: concepts like fertilization, species classification, and biological development. Let’s start with the egg. They’re right: it isn’t a chicken, because it hasn’t been fertilized. Hens lay eggs […]
Blogger appears to be having some intermittent technical problems. I will do my best to blog this weekend but cannot make any promises.
This is another one of those “good news, bad news” posts. I’ll start with the bad news: the Catherine Ferguson Academy in Detroit is in a dire position. CFA is a school for pregnant and parenting students, most of whom are young women of color. Its mission is just amazing. They are educating the students […]
Via Operation Rescue (warning: gross): Operation Rescue has been notified that the Texas Commission of Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has determined that Whole Women’s Health of McAllen has violated Texas laws regarding the disposal of fetal remains from abortions. The TCEQ has now closed their investigation and referred the matter to formal enforcement. Operation Rescue received […]
Secular Pro-Life is youth-led and has a majority youth membership. But we are not, officially, a youth organization. We welcome older adult supporters. I believe that we can learn a lot from more experienced pro-lifers. Dr. Steven Zielinski– whom I affectionately call Dr. Z.– has been involved in the pro-life movement for decades. He is […]
In New Zealand, Right to Life may appeal a recent court decision that held that unborn children have no right to life. The appeal would be to the nation’s Supreme Court. As in the United States, most appeals to the Supreme Court are not heard. They do have better odds, though: about 20% of applications […]
A survey commissioned by the National Family Planning and Reproductive Health Association (NFPRHA, which joined Planned Parenthood in opposition to physicians’ right to refuse abortion) asked whether respondents agreed with this statement: While the current political debate focuses too much on abortion, there is a much broader discussion that needs to happen around reproductive health. […]
New Zealand’s Court of Appeal has declared that unborn children do not have the right to life. This is not the New Zealand version of Roe v. Wade; abortion was already allowed in some circumstances, although not on demand. But the decision is a huge step backward for human rights. If the unborn have no […]
