We asked our supporters on social media: “An atheist in a very pro-choice community wants to start being more upfront with her friends about her pro-life views. We have many thoughts on this process, but would also like to open it up to our followers. For those of you who have gone through this, what’s […]
Yesterday the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the FDA in Food and Drug Administration v. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine. The Court found that the AHM lacked standing to challenge the FDA’s regulatory changes to the abortion drug mifepristone. The decision was unanimous and Justice Kavanaugh wrote the opinion. From the drug’s approval in 2000 […]
I am a foster parent licensed in Florida for the past three and a half years. Each year, I need to earn continuing education credits to maintain my license. I recently signed up for an online course through Foster Parent College on supporting normalcy for children in care — a laudable goal. And most of […]
Ah, online debating. Sometimes it’s a great way to strong-man the opposition, change hearts and minds, and even spare someone from death by abortion. And other times, you’re rudely insulted and asked how many rape-conceived babies with Down Syndrome trapped in a burning IVF lab have YOU adopted, HUH???!? It can get a little exhausting. […]
Billionaire Melinda French Gates recently made headlines for her pledge to donate hundreds of millions of dollars to groups advocating “reproductive rights.” Her statements to the press made it clear that this is a euphemism for abortion: “While I have long focused on improving contraceptive access overseas, in the post-Dobbs era, I now feel compelled […]
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 […]
