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 […]

I’m still technically on hiatus, but a Supreme Court nomination warrants my comments. Kagan is a strong liberal and supports abortion, which comes as no surprise. What’s more surprising is that Obama has chosen a candidate who has never served as a judge, which is likely to be the opposition’s main theme. The Washington Post […]
Each Tuesday, we will be cross-posting Gerard Nadal’s discussion of Embryo: A Defense of Human Life. Today is the third installment. As the relative quiescence of the blog in recent weeks will attest, there has been a great deal going on that has kept me from posting, and I am truly sorry for the interruption […]
In addition to running SecularProLife.org, I am also a first-year law student. Finals are approaching and my stress level has become unacceptably high. Accordingly, I am on hiatus from blogging until things calm down. You will still get your Friday posts from MRNewman and things that are cross-posted from Gerard Nadal.If you are interested in […]
I have seen this movie and it is amazing. I’m so happy to hear that it will be featured at Cannes– particularly since, as LifeNews points out, pro-abortion films have dominated on our issue in previous years. The festival is May 12-23, 2010. If you are in France at that time I encourage you to […]
There usually isn’t much pro-life news on weekends. So, following in the footsteps of Jill Stanek’s Weekend Question and Bryan Kemper’s Free Stuff Friday, I have decided to make Scatterbrained Sunday a regular feature of this blog.Today, I draw your attention to Four Reasons You Might Be Aborted: An Open Letter to Fetal Humans. It’s […]
