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. Instead of treating abortion as synonymous with women’s rights, Chile invested in women’s access to education and health care. As a result, Chile’s restoration of the right to life corresponded with significant improvements […]

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 […]
Above: results of a genetic test showing Klinefelter Syndrome Cracked.com recently published an interesting article about “Kevin,” a man with an intersex condition known as Klinefelter Syndrome. Men with Klinefelter Syndrome have an extra X chromosome—XXY rather than XY, which impedes testosterone production.
