Did your parents ever let you walk home from school? If so, the American Psychological Association (APA) wouldn’t have been pleased. According to the APA, kids shouldn’t even be crossing the street. Its Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance published a study that found children under 14 “lack the perceptual judgment and motor […]
Last weekend, Secular Pro-Life had a fantastic experience as always at the Life/Peace/Justice conference, organized by Rehumanize International. L/P/J is a unique conference that gathers advocates from a wide range of social movements to learn from one another. I had the opportunity to teach attendees about secular pro-life advocacy (video here!) and in return, I […]
I grew up in a family of seven. When my mom put her career on hold to raise us, she decided to become a daycare mom. At any give time there would be at least fifteen kids in our house. Needless to say we had a lot of socialization and we loved it! I knew […]
The editors of America magazine, a Catholic publication, reached out to Secular Pro-Life to help America‘s readers understand the non-religious case against abortion. Our resulting op-ed can be found here.

Tonight, I will be on an airplane, making my way to the Students for Life of Illinois conference at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign! I’m especially excited to meet some wonderful Chicago-area film students who are working to bring my pro-life screenplay to fruition. If you’re at the conference, stop by the Secular Pro-Life exhibit […]
The pro-choice crowd has made great strides in their cause by framing their advocacy for legal abortion as synonymous with feminism or women’s rights. The wool has been pulled over our eyes so tightly that we forget the inherent absurdity in the claim that women require the ability to legally murder their own children in […]
This spring, a Canadian mom allegedly gave something to her baby. No, it wasn’t a rattle or a teddy bear. It was meth. Michelle Rice is accused of feeding a fatal dose of methamphetamine to her 11-day-old daughter, resulting in second-degree murder charges. What charges would Rice have face if she had acted 12 days […]
Anyone who argues the pro-life position is likely to come across a series of logical fallacies about bodily autonomy. Often this is packaged in the form of a story about a fictional violinist. This illogical and highly implausible story was created by Judith Jarvis Thomson, an MIT professor, in her 1971 essay A Defense of […]
