Pennsylvania recorded a 3.9% drop in abortions in 2009. Pro-lifers in the state attribute the decrease to legislative efforts, particularly the Alternatives to Abortion program. Still, there’s a long way to go: 37,284 babies were killed in the state’s 24 abortion centers. The Susan B. Anthony List is co-hosting the Republican National Committee’s chairman debate […]
I anticipate having limited internet access this week, so I may skip a day or two. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Plenty of pro-life blogs are reviewing the year’s top stories. From Live Action’s investigation of medical lies in Planned Parenthood abortion counseling to the passage of Obamacare, 2010 has certainly been an eventful year. It’s been a banner year for us at SecularProLife.org as well. In only our second year of existence (we were founded […]
I’ve struggled with how to approach this post. I don’t put much stock in the “war on Christmas,” but it does seem silly to pretend that people are merely celebrating “the holidays.” In fact, I’ve noticed that many of our atheist members are preparing to celebrate Christmas with their families. (No suprise there, really: most […]
Pro-life advocacy groups and members of Congress put a lot of emphasis on Supreme Court nominations, and for good reason. Only the Supreme Court can overturn Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton, which would allow pro-life states to legally protect unborn children before the arbitrary point of viability. It’s easy to forget the important […]
Two doctors are reportedly training to become abortionists, with plans to set up shop in Wichita, Kansas. One of them, Mila Means, has a past: Means has a troubled past that includes disciplinary action taken against her medical license for the misuse of psychiatry in her family practice, having improper personal relationships with patients, and […]
Over the last few years, numerous scientific breakthroughs have shown that adult cells can be made to behave like embryonic stem cells. These “induced pluripotent stem cells” have great promise. Not only are they more ethical than embryonic stem cells, but since they can be derived from the same patient who needs treatment, they don’t […]
The Department of Defense authorization bill, which contained both taxpayer funding of abortion (the Burris Amendment) and the repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, has failed to pass. Now, a standalone piece of legislation has been introduced to repeal Don’t Ask Don’t Tell. By divorcing it from the abortion issue, LGBT advocates may be able […]
I won’t leave you hanging: the answer is that pro-lifers must follow the scientific evidence wherever it leads. Recently, Steven Mosher of the Population Research Institute wrote an article for LifeNews.com, rightfully denouncing Ted Turner’s call for a global one-child policy. (Turner, he writes, fathered five kids but “has often publicly regretted having so many […]
HLI America is a part of Human Life International, a Catholic group opposed to birth control. So when I saw that they had released a survey of 800 women regarding hormonal contraceptive use, I took it with a grain of salt. Their interpretation emphasizes the negative; the HLI America website gives it the title “The […]
