A young person sits in a wheelchair and wears a t-shirt that says “Disabled lives are worth living.” There’s a lot of talk going on about proposed legislation that will, allegedly, make it legal for doctors lie to their patients. That is not what is happening. Since I happen to be a lawyer, allow me […]
That’s an odd headline, but hear me out. Just in the last few weeks, Secular Pro-Life has been contacted by four graduate students (including a Ph.D. candidate), from four different schools, who are researching various aspects of the pro-life movement in the context of various academic disciplines. I’ve been interviewed about everything from SPL’s legislative […]
Tomorrow, Students for Life of America is once again hosting National Pro-Life Chalk Day—but of course, if you’re not a student, you are still welcome to participate! Sidewalk chalking in public spaces is a creative and inexpensive way to share the pro-life message. This year’s theme is defunding Planned Parenthood. We encourage you to take […]
[Today’s guest post by Lucy Watson is part of our paid blogging program.] Read the following statements. There’ll be a pop quiz afterward: “I think it’s safe to say that the entire abortion industry is based on a lie.” “I’m dedicated to spreading the truth about preserving the dignity of all human life.” “We live […]
Secular Pro-Life’s presentation at the 2016 Pro-Life Women’s Conference Last summer, the inaugural Pro-Life Women’s Conference was held in Dallas, TX. Although it was originally envisioned as an every-other-year affair, it was so successful that the organizers have decided to make it an annual event! The 2017 Pro-Life Women’s Conference will be held in Orlando, […]
The #ProtestPP rallies earlier this month sparked a debate between Planned Parenthood and more radical abortion groups, particularly those with a socialist bent. Planned Parenthood strongly discouraged counter-protests, apparently fearing violence from their own supporters: “When we think about a counterprotest happening, even folks with the best intentions,” Adrienne Verrilli of Planned Parenthood of New York […]
[Today’s guest post was written by Perri.] A common self-perception that I have noticed among the pro-choice crowd is one of moral neutrality. Many see their position not as one which condones abortion, but as one which simply chooses not to answer the question of whether abortion is right or wrong. Some may even say […]
Over the course of his campaign, and again since assuming the presidency, Donald Trump has repeatedly advocated for repeal of the Johnson Amendment. Although this is widely being framed as a church-state separation issue, it actually involves non-profits of all stripes, not just churches. The New York Times summarizes the Johnson Amendment as follows: Under […]
[A version of this post was originally published on Presidents’ Day 2013.] Happy Presidents’ Day to our readers in the United States! In honor of the occasion, here are some pro-life quotes from previous occupants of the White House. I do realize that some of these quotes are pro-life only in a broad sense, and […]
Yesterday, the House of Representatives took the first step to dismantle a recently issued Dept. of Health & Human Services rule that prohibits states from prioritizing their own local health departments and other health care providers for funding. It’s been aptly described as a “parting gift to Planned Parenthood” from the Obama administration. But the […]
