Once a month or so, the Secular Pro-Life blog features a short interview with a pro-life atheist. (See the full series of interviews here.) Although Secular Pro-Life is not exclusively for atheists, historically atheists have played a key role in the organization. As atheists become more prominent in the pro-life movement generally, we’re excited for the opportunity […]
Last month, Secular Pro-Life sounded the alarm about a dangerous pro-abortion decision by the Court of Appeals of Indiana. That court sided with plaintiffs who wanted religious exceptions to Indiana’s pro-life law. But the court’s logic was much broader than that, opening the door to any religiously motivated homicide, regardless of the victim’s age. In […]
Last week, seven pro-life advocates were sentenced to prison terms for participating in a rescue. They were convicted under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, a Clinton-era law that transforms what would otherwise be a simple trespass charge — for entering an abortion waiting room, distributing roses, and refusing to leave — […]
I have had the honor of serving as a foster parent for the past three and a half years. During that time I have cared for a total of sixteen children, two of whom became legally available for adoption last year and are now my forever sons. In a few short months, they will start […]
In October 2020, nine people entered a building in Washington, D.C. According to the Associated Press, they “began blocking the doors,” “blocked the employee entrance,” and “five of them chained themselves together on chairs.” No violence occurred. Normally, peaceful occupation of a building would, at most, result in a trespass charge. We’ve seen that play […]

Once a month or so, the Secular Pro-Life blog features a short interview with a pro-life atheist or agnostic. (See the full series of interviews here.) Although Secular Pro-Life is not exclusively for atheists and agnostics, historically they have played a key role in the organization, and we’re excited for the opportunity to share their stories. This […]
Last year our first trivia night was a smashing success. We filled all the seats, sold all the silent auction items, drank (not all, but enough) of the wine and beer, and laughed our heads off. Let’s do it again! Join us for our only annual fundraising event! Support our amazing organization and have a […]
In a recent NPR article touting the promise of artificial womb technology to help premature infants, I came upon a telling quote: “I am absolutely pro the technology because I think it has great potential to save babies,” says Vardit Ravitsky, president and CEO of The Hastings Center, a bioethics think tank. But there are […]
On March 25, 2022, PAAU activists Terrisa Bukovinac and Lauren Handy recovered the remains of 115 children who were killed by D.C. abortionist Cesare Santangelo. (Bukovinac is an atheist with deep connections to Secular Pro-Life.) Most of the victims were killed legally and received a prompt burial. But the five oldest victims — Harriet, Christopher X, Phoenix, […]
