The blog is on hiatus and will return after Memorial Day weekend.
A lot has happened since Jill Stanek wrote about the AbortionSafety.com initiative. We’re looking for a volunteer to join our research team ASAP. This is a great opportunity to become more involved in life-saving work! Get the details here. We are currently conducting preliminary research, and already have a professional graphic design for the site! […]
Via the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE): Ohio’s Sinclair Community College (SCC) has announced that it will review an unconstitutional policy that prohibits all distribution of literature on campus by individual students. SCC banned a student from distributing literature about abortion, birth control, and breast cancer to her classmates after class. . . […]
A disturbing Sun Sentinel article has been making the rounds this week: Fifteen obstetrics-gynecology practices out of 105 polled by the Sun Sentinel said they have set weight cut-offs for new patients starting at 200 pounds or based on measures of obesity — and turn down women who are heavier.

Please watch the above video, which is less than two minutes long, and share it. It’s high time we did something about the abortion movement’s incessant negative misrepresentation of sidewalk counselors. As you may know, Monday is Secular Sidewalk day on the blog, featuring two pro-life sidewalk counselors: Heather (an atheist) and Amelia (a Christian). […]
Yesterday, Mike Huckabee announced that he would not be running for the Republican presidential nomination. Huckabee was popular among many pro-life voters, particularly those with conservative Christian backgrounds. There are still plenty of other options, though, and pro-lifers have yet to unite around any one candidate. Secular Pro-Life is non-partisan and does not endorse candidates. […]
Thank you for your patience these past few weeks. Final exams are finally over (woohoo!) and the blog is back on schedule. Today, I’d like to share an excellent video from The Signal Hill, an organization based in Canada: Secular Pro-Life did a video with a similar concept last year, but I confess: Signal Hill […]
