New South Wales authorities plan to revisit NSW laws, which currently provide no protection for unborn victims of crime, in light of the death of 32-week-old Zoe Ball. Zoe’s mother, Brodie Donegan, was taking a walk on Christmas Day of last year when she was struck by a car; the driver was allegedly under the […]
This is not a story of national significance, and (unfortunately) it’s not an uncommon event either. I’m writing about it because Naples, FL is my hometown. It isn’t a large city; there’s a good chance that I know the victim. So if you have any additional information about this, please email me at info@secularprolife.org. You […]
When I was interviewed for last week’s Slate article, the author asked me how I became pro-life. My answer (which was not included in the article for the simple reason that it’s boring) is that I don’t know. I’ve just always been pro-life, from the time I knew what abortion was. It did not come […]
Yesterday, scientists announced the creation of artificial life. The microscopic organism, dubbed “Synthia” (below), was developed by transplanting syntheic DNA into a host cell. The emerging technology quickly generated ethical concerns, mostly from environmental groups who oppose it for much the same reasons they oppose genetically modified crops.

1. The big Planned Parenthood gala in Cedar Rapids is tonight. Despite their fearmongering (with which the media shamefully assisted), the baby supplies drive and protest are still on. 2. Laces for Life sells $3 pro-life shoelaces in pink and blue. During the month of May, proceeds benefit our friends at Students for Life of […]
This was in the news a few days ago. Sorry for not being on the ball. I have nothing against Bristol Palin. Her vice presidential candidate mother aside, Bristol’s story is a very common one: a teen who got pregnant despite precautions, and decided to parent the baby with the help of a strong family […]
As much as we American pro-lifers might feel that we’re facing an uphill battle to protect the unborn, we’ve got nothing on our neighbors to the north. Abortion advocates have a very strong grip on public opinion there– so much so that Canadian pro-lifers have faced severe threats to their very freedom of speech, especially […]
Slate author Jessica Grose gave SecularProLife.org a nod in her recent piece, “Why Are More Americans Calling Themselves Pro-Life?” It’s a complex question, and I’d like to hear your answers. Personally, I don’t believe it can be attributed to any one thing. While the media didn’t take notice until pro-lifers became a majority (excluding undecideds), […]
On Thursday, May 20, Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards will visit Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to mark the thirtieth anniversary of the region’s Planned Parenthood affiliate. The Pro-Life Action League is planning a peaceful protest during her visit, in memory of the 185,000 unborn babies killed by abortion over the past thirty years in Iowa. Their […]
