Our executive director, Monica Snyder, recently appeared on two episodes of the Equipped for Life podcast with our friends at Equal Rights Institute. The topic: dealing with difficult pro-lifers. The episodes were recorded pre-Dobbs, but the advice is evergreen. Part 1 covered four types of pro-life debaters who can do more harm than good: (1) Bible verse guy, (2) “Keep […]
With Roe v. Wade‘s reversal, we can finally have a real debate about abortion in the United States. From what I’ve seen on social media since Dobbs — mostly lies about ectopic pregnancy, marriage equality, and the like (with a healthy dose of ableism and classism) — I’m inclined to agree with this tweet: But […]
Our friends at Rehumanize International organize consistently amazing conferences. Rehumanize is a Consistent Life Ethic (CLE) group, which means their work encompasses a wide range of social ills. That includes abortion, along with threats to older humans like the death penalty and sex trafficking. Their conferences present a wonderful opportunity for activists in different spheres to come […]
The abortion industry has long had Chile in its crosshairs. Chile is proof that pro-life policies and strong maternal health can coexist. Abortion used to be legal in Chile, but the nation recognized the prenatal right to life in 1989. Abortion supporters predicted chaos and women dying in the streets. Instead, the maternal mortality rate […]
Planned Parenthood’s cruelty toward unborn children is well-known; it killed 345,672 in 2019 alone. This Labor Day, it’s also worth remembering that Planned Parenthood isn’t even kind to its own employees. The New York Times broke the story of Planned Parenthood’s widespread pregnancy discrimination, which is prohibited by federal law. The nation’s largest abortion chain […]
We asked our supporters on social media: “What are some aspects of the abortion debate you wish more people understood? And what are some aspects of the abortion debate you suspect your opposition wishes more people understood?” Here are a few of the top responses. DáSean C.: “I wish people understood pro-lifers aren’t just white […]
Recently, several people have asked us what we mean by the name Secular Pro-Life. Is our leadership secular, or just advancing secular arguments? Who can join Secular Pro-Life? Secular Pro-Life is led by secular women. Specifically, it is led by three atheists: Monica Snyder (Executive Director), Kelsey Hazzard (Founder and President of the Board), and […]
This debate lasts twenty-four minutes. I was hooked in the first twenty-four seconds: “A fetus is cells. They are cells. Are you proposing that cells be given rights?” “That is a lie. Abortion kills babies, and that is the truth.” “Abortion does not kill babies. Abortion is healthcare for women.” “I guess we can just […]
Nearly two months after Dobbs v. Jackson, the legal landscape has changed dramatically. Under the Roe regime, babies younger than 24 weeks were utterly defenseless, and even older babies often could be legally killed. Today, fifteen states recognize the humanity of children in the womb. (So does Utah, but its law is currently held up […]
Tomorrow, voters will decide whether to add a pro-life amendment to the Kansas constitution. In 2019, the Kansas Supreme Court struck down the state’s ban on dismemberment abortions. The dismemberment method, also known as “dilation & evacuation” or “D & E,” is used after the first trimester, when unborn babies are too large to kill […]
