One of the more disturbing articles I’ve read this week comes from an Ohio affiliate of National Public Radio, and it is entitled “Unaccompanied In Pain: Gaps In Ohio Law Hurt Teen Moms.” It describes how pregnant teens who are estranged from their families are caught in a horrific legal loophole: without the consent of […]
Your president Kelsey Hazzard here with a quick personal note. I am in the path of Hurricane Irma and need to devote some time to prepping. Also, while I’m reasonably confident about my physical safety during the storm, reliable internet is probably too much to ask. Therefore I will be on hiatus for a bit. […]
[Today’s guest post by Adam Peters is part of our paid blogging program.] The Supreme Court said there’s a right to abortion. However, it also said there’s a right not to have one, and that right applies to minors. Unfortunately, this is something many won’t accept: mothers often feel pressured to abort, and can face […]
[This is a video transcript. For the video, click here.] Hey everybody, Secular Pro-Life president Kelsey Hazzard here. I want to talk to you about an article, and normally this kind of thing would appear on our blog, but I just don’t think that the written word can quite capture how I’m feeling about this. […]

If you’re discussing abortion, then it’s likely to come up. When women invoke that principle, they’re often lauded for defending their “right to choose.” When a man does the same? […]
When I first got involved in the pro-life movement as a college student about ten years ago, I heard a lot about PASS: Post-Abortion Stress Syndrome (or sometimes PAS, for Post Abortion Syndrome). I’ve noticed that discussion of PASS has faded away in recent years. There are still plenty of active post-abortion groups out there, […]
September is quiet, but October is going to be very busy. Friday, October 6 and Saturday, October 7 is the Vitae et Veritas (Life and Truth) conference at Yale University. Secular Pro-Life will have an exhibit table with free literature. Come say hi! Saturday, October 14 is the Students for Life of Illinois conference at […]
[Today’s guest post by Adam Peters is part of our paid blogging program.] When you’re debating abortion, there are a few lines that tend to come up. One of the most common? “Nobody is pro-abortion!” It’s also one of the easiest to disprove. In an article for Salon, Valerie Tarico said that she’s “pro-abortion, not […]

This post was submitted some time ago, and was originally slated for publication this past Monday, but was postponed for obvious reasons. For our official statement on Charlottesville, see here.
