Last week, the Centers for Disease Control released its annual abortion surveillance report. First, two caveats: Reporting is always a couple of years behind. This report covers the 2018 calendar year. Obviously, it does not account for the impact of COVID-19; we likely won’t have that data until 2022. CDC data are incomplete, because state […]
January is always a busy time for Secular Pro-Life, and the pro-life movement as a whole, as we mark the anniversary of Roe v. Wade and develop strategies to save lives in the new year. COVID-19 will make things a bit different in 2021 (read: social distancing and no indoor events), but we are committed to […]

Without a pro-life majority in the Senate, politicians friendly to the abortion industry could push taxpayer-funded abortion (costing an estimated 60,000 innocent lives per year), confirm pro-abortion judicial […]
The largest and best-known programs for mothers who regret their abortions, like Rachel’s Vineyard and Silent No More, are faith-based. This is unsurprising when you consider that Christian doctrine promises supernatural forgiveness of wrongdoing and reunification with the aborted child in the afterlife. Many women who have had abortions derive great comfort from those beliefs. […]
Sadly, Colorado’s Proposition 115—which would have finally prohibited medically unnecessary late-term abortions (five months or later) in the state—did not pass. Although Election Day did have some bright spots, like the passage of Louisiana’s Love Life Amendment and the election of numerous pro-life women to Congress, the inability to pass even the barest protection for […]
The chaos of the election drowned out a disturbing recent story in the Los Angeles Times.
