I recently read Adrian Nicole LeBlanc’s 2003 masterpiece Random Family: Love, Drugs, Trouble, and Coming of Age in the Bronx. LeBlanc spent over a decade chronicling the lives of people in some of New York’s poorest neighborhoods at the height of the crack epidemic. As so often happens when I read to try to take […]
We asked our Facebook followers: “For those of you who used to be pro-choice, what made you change your mind?” The post blew up, with hundreds of thoughtful comments.

So-called ‘medical’ abortions were almost one-third of the total in the US in 2016 – a vast number considering the Food and Drug Administration only approved the use of the ‘abortion pill’ in 2000.

SPL supporter Allison asks: Hi, I’ve been a fan of your page for a while now but I had a question that I’ve been wanting to be answered. While I am unsure the technology exists, I would personally save a zygote, embryo, or fetus from being aborted by having it transferred to my uterus. I […]
