Gallup recently asked residents of all fifty U.S. states to identify themselves as “very religious,” moderately religious,” or “nonreligious,” and used this data to rank the states by religiosity. It found that Mississippi has the largest percentage of residents who are “very religious,” at 59%. The least religious states are concentrated in New England: Vermont […]
Tomorrow, February 11, advocates across the United States will come together to demand an end to taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood. The reasons are legion. Planned Parenthood has been caught lying to women about prenatal development. It has defrauded Medicaid in multiple states. It doesn’t take statutory rape and sex trafficking of minors seriously. It […]
[Today’s guest post is by Beth Kulikov.] Women have been oppressed throughout history, in all parts of the globe. Our oppressors have been men, which is in no way meant to express an anti-man sentiment. Human nature is flawed and the human condition plagues us all. If women had been the ones with the stronger […]
Today marks the 35th anniversary of a gruesome discovery. On February 3, 1982, the Martin Container Company repossessed a storage container for non-payment. Upon opening the container, workers discovered the remains of 16,433 abortion victims. Abortion advocates reacted by going to court to block pro-lifers from offering memorial services, lest the babies be “humanized.” So […]

Kelsey here. I’m finally home and have a moment to digest everything that has happened. This week was truly a whirlwind. That’s a good thing! Some time ago, I wrote: “The anniversary of Roe v. Wade is a time to remember the lives lost, celebrate the lives saved, and renew our commitment to restoring the […]
Your president, Kelsey Hazzard, here. I’m in Washington, D.C. and staying with my friend Lauren Handy, sidewalk counselor extraordinaire. She’s a Christian, but takes a totally secular approach to sidewalk counseling. As she describes it, she’s doing crisis intervention—if you were rescuing people from a burning building, you wouldn’t pause to proselytize, so why on […]
Your president, Kelsey Hazzard, here. On Saturday, Secular Pro-Life participated in the Walk for Life – West Coast for the seventh consecutive year. But for me, it was the first year. Typically, I am busy at the March for Life in D.C., and other SPL leaders take care of things in San Francisco. But this […]
[Today’s guest post by Greg Elchert is part of our paid blogging program.] I have a confession to make – I wasn’t happy when I woke on November 9th to find that Donald J. Trump had won the election. Of course, there was always a lot about him to dislike. His mind-boggling ignorance of politics […]
