Last Thursday, Montana held a special election to fill its sole seat in the House of Representatives (because its prior representative, Ryan Zinke, left to become Secretary of the Interior). The top candidates for the position were Republican Greg Gianforte and Democrat Rob Quist. Going into the election, pro-life organizations had a lot of reasons […]
On Monday, Secular Pro-Life published an article about Maddi Runkles, a high school senior whose private Christian school has banned her from her graduation ceremony because she is pregnant. We joined a chorus of pro-life organizations, led by Students for Life of America, condemning the school’s action and pointing out that penalizing women for being pregnant […]
A friend asked us to rebut this 2015 pro-choice video. Better late than never! The interviewee, atheist and science communicator Cara Santa Maria, says that she is “evidence-based thinker” who “listen[s] to the science first, and then make my political decisions based on that.” So far, so good.

Full disclosure: I have never watched Keeping Up with the Kardashians. I just never got the concept of people “being famous for being famous.” The series’ 2.8 out of 10 stars on IMDB suggests I’m not alone. So when the Kardashians did an Instagram promotion in support of Planned Parenthood, which is also likely to […]
This past Saturday marked the anniversary of Kermit Gosnell’s 2013 murder conviction. Although Gosnell had countless victims, only four were the subject of the conviction. Three were newborn infants who died when Gosnell “snipped” their necks. One was Karnamaya Mongar, a 41-year-old Bhutanese refugee who Gosnell killed in a botched abortion. The Susan B. Anthony […]
