When I attended my very first March for Life as a college student in 2009, I saw more crucifixes and Virgin Mary icons than I’d ever encountered in my (raised-Methodist-but-having-doubts) life, and thought it would be cool to organize an explicitly secular march group. And maybe we could put together some pro-life literature without Bible […]
After an amazing and inspiring March For Life weekend in Washington D.C., pro-lifers will gather this Saturday in downtown San Francisco for the annual West Coast Walk For Life. This is the largest pro-life gathering on the west cost and, as always, Secular Pro-Life will be there to represent. Below you’ll find a list of […]
Whew. What a whirlwind. Last weekend, in the span of three days, Secular Pro-Life exhibited at three pro-life youth events (giving away a ton of free literature and meeting lots of leaders who’d like to have us speak at their campuses), co-hosted a karaoke fundraiser with Rehumanize International, encountered a ton of incredible pro-life projects […]
We will be very busy at the March for Life and associated events! You can find a more detailed schedule here, but to recap: On Thursday morning, rally with us. On Friday morning, meet up and march with us. On Friday night, sing with us. On Saturday, conference with us (and also this conference, but it’s sold out). See […]
Every year, Americans United for Life (AUL) releases the “Life List,” which ranks each U.S. state on a spectrum from most to least pro-life based on a “comprehensive legal analysis of each state’s legal protections for human life from conception to natural death.” Numerous laws, from gestational limits to informed consent to facility regulations, factor […]
I recently purchased Mere Morality, a book by former pastor turned atheist activist Dan Barker. The premise interested me; it aims to distill morality to a basic secular principle of not harming others. That’s generally what guides my moral life as well, although it’s hardly that simple. What constitutes harm? And what is the frame […]
The March for Life will take place on Friday, January 18, 2019 in Washington, D.C. This annual gathering in opposition to Roe v. Wade regularly draws 100,000+ people. The March for Life honors the memory of the millions of children killed as a result of Roe, demonstrates to lawmakers that abortion is not a “settled issue,” […]
We asked our facebook followers about their life-related resolutions for 2019. You all have some great plans! Kara B. — Unless I get pregnant in the first half of the year, wanting to start the process of us being made available as adoptive parents to a woman with a crisis pregnancy. Leette E. — Give […]
Secular Pro-Life had a very busy 2018. Here are the highlights. In January, we participated in both the March for Life in Washington, D.C. and the Walk for Life in San Francisco, CA. SPL president Kelsey Hazzard spoke at Georgetown University for a conference with the theme “(Ir)religiously Pro-Life: The Future of the Movement in […]
We won’t keep you in suspense. The most-read posts on this blog for 2018 are… 10. “The People Want Roe to Stay”—Abortion polls produce bizarre results; people claim to support Roe v. Wade, but also favor abortion restrictions that aren’t possible with Roe in place. 9. Pro-life agnostic running for Senate in Missouri—Austin Petersen did […]
