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 […]

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, […]
Quite a headline, I know. We try not to be the clickbaity sort here at Secular Pro-Life. But an Indiana court has, in fact, opened the door to religiously motivated legal homicides.
