[Today’s guest post is by SPL supporter Sylwia Gryciuk. She lives in Wrocław and is 25 years old.] It is a popular myth of our times that free access to abortion reflects society’s high level of cultural development. Another widely adopted view holds that we – as human civilization – gradually struggle towards greater equality […]
The latest Life/Peace/Justice Conference (LPJ) took place at the University of Texas – Austin last weekend, and what an incredible gathering it was. LPJ is a consistent life ethic conference, meaning that abortion is not the only topic on the table. Our areas of advocacy ran the gamut, from foreign policy to subsidized child care […]
Secular Pro-Life is riding high. On September 30, our #HelloHyde campaign celebrated the fortieth anniversary of the Hyde Amendment, which has saved the lives of over 2 million children born through the Medicaid program. We educated tens of thousands of people about the life-saving power of the Hyde Amendment and highlighted the faces and stories of […]
Pro-life, pro-woman advocates have long cited Chile as a model country. Since 1989, Chilean babies have been protected by law from conception.

I usually despise “awareness” campaigns. Like, we all know that breast cancer exists by now. I’m all for breast cancer research, but “awareness” is a waste of everybody’s time. I’ll make an exception for Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, because miscarriages and stillbirths are astoundingly under-discussed in proportion to how common they are. Many […]
Today’s cover story in Slate is about the future of the pro-life movement, and Secular Pro-Life is prominently featured. Although the author is pro-choice, she is incredibly fair and the reporting is stellar. Check it out!
This Sunday, October 16, marks the 100th anniversary of Planned Parenthood. It’s a sordid history. Planned Parenthood began as a contraceptive provider… but for all the wrong reasons. In the words of its founder, Margaret Sanger: It has been conservatively estimated that no less than one quarter of the gross incomes of our states is […]
Voiceless being screened outside the Supreme Court last Sunday night How cool is this? The producers of a movie opening in theaters nationwide next weekend didn’t hold a red carpet premiere in New York or Los Angeles to celebrate the release of their film. Instead, they chose the sidewalk outside the Supreme Court. “Voiceless,” a […]
