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 […]
[Today’s guest article is by Dr. Calum Miller.] Introduction Opponents of the right to life often claim that abortion is a human right, and that “the UN says so.” Neither of these is true. While some UN agencies and treaty bodies with no legal authority often advocate for abortion against the explicit position of many […]
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 […]
Kentucky Judge Mitch Perry temporarily enjoined the state’s pro-life laws, laughably claiming that recognition of human life in the womb is an establishment of religion. Ninety-five percent of biologists, including a strong majority of those who consider themselves pro-choice, acknowledge the scientific reality that human life begins at fertilization. Even the Justices who decided Roe […]
Once in a while, I find myself agreeing with pro-choicers about something. Today is one of those days, thanks to an incredibly stupid incident from American University School of Law. It all started with the leak of the Dobbs opinion. Law students began discussing it in a group chat. American University was once ranked the […]
Secular Pro-Life joined a coalition of dozens of groups, led by Students for Life Action, in an open letter to Congress. The letter forcefully refutes the pro-abortion proposal to establish abortion hubs on federal land. In the wake of Dobbs, desperate abortion industry groups sought any workaround to continue killing unborn babies in pro-life jurisdictions. […]
Our Vice President, Terrisa Bukovinac, is currently incarcerated in a Virginia jail. Although she is best known as the founder of Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising (PAAU), Terrisa is also a longtime Secular Pro-Life activist. She is an atheist who found a home at Secular Pro-Life when she first opened her eyes to the injustice of abortion. […]
On June 22, we asked our social media followers: “If Dobbs does end up overturning Roe v. Wade, how will you mark the occasion?” Little did we know that Roe would be thrown on the ash heap of history just two days later! Here are a few of our favorite responses: Madison U.: Coincidentally I […]
As you have surely heard by now, the Supreme Court released its final opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson and officially overturned Roe v. Wade. The majority opinion held that abortion is not a constitutional right, allowing states to enact their own abortion legislation. Although this is not the end of the story—the pro-life movement will […]
