Tomorrow at 1:30 pm Eastern/12:30 pm Central/11:30 am Mountain/10:30 am Pacific, SPL president Kelsey Hazzard will be interviewed on the Culture of Life radio show, hosted by Laura Rosecrans and Monte Harms. We’ll be talking SPL’s ongoing projects, our plans for 2017, and how religious and non-religious people can work together in the fight against […]
Increasingly, I have encountered an argument in favor of abortion that goes something like this: If an embryo or fetus has a right to life, that means every death of an embryo or fetus has to be investigated as a possible murder. Parents grieving their miscarriages will have their grief compounded when cops show up […]
Last week, the CDC released its annual abortion surveillance report (for 2013, because it’s always behind). The big story the media picked up from it was that the American abortion rate has once again hit a record low. Of course, that’s welcome news. But dig deeper, and the report also contains some extremely disturbing findings. […]

Foster Campbell, left, and John Kennedy, right I have terrible news for you: the election isn’t over. No, I’m not talking about Jill Stein’s recount.

The good news? […]

Premature birth can strike anyone; in many […]
Above: Demonstrators outside the Supreme Court during Young v. UPS. [Today’s guest post is by Christina Reagan.] Back in 1978, the Pregnancy Discrimination Act was passed with the intention to protect women from being fired or discriminated against on the basis of pregnancy. Why then does it not seem uncommon that vulnerable pregnant women are […]

As a result, we have never charged an honorarium to campus groups. However, for financial reasons, we have required student organizations to cover cost of travel for SPL speakers. Also, since SPL is entirely volunteer-run […]
In some ways, nothing has changed. Regardless of who is in office, all pro-life people have an obligation to advocate for policies that will reduce abortion. Priorities will include confirming a pro-life replacement for Justice Scalia, and preserving the Hyde Amendment (which has saved the lives of over two million Americans) against attacks from the […]
Our dislike for Donald Trump is no secret. He is the next President of the United States; the American people have spoken and we accept the outcome. We will have a more in-depth analysis in the coming days. Until then (to paraphrase the great President Lincoln): With malice toward none, with charity for all, let […]
