Kamaria and Ryann; photo via Public Justice Kamaria Downs, the heroine of today’s blog, is a graduate of Claflin University… despite Claflin’s outrageous attempt to derail her senior year: In 2015, when officials at Claflin University in South Carolina learned senior honors student Kamaria Downs was pregnant, they kicked her out of the dorms and […]
The Women in Secularism conference will be held in Arlington, VA this weekend, from Friday, September 23 through Sunday, September 25. The conference will cover a wide array of worthy topics, including the tension between safe spaces and free expression, a panel on “Women and Science,” and a presentation about women resisting ISIS. But sadly, […]
The Equal Rights Institute was founded by Josh Brahm to “train pro-life advocates to think clearly, reason honestly, and argue persuasively.” Josh is a Christian who makes the pro-life case from a secular position, and he has always maintained a good relationship with Secular Pro-Life. [Disclosure: SPL president Kelsey Hazzard is on the ERI board […]
ACTION ITEM: Submit a comment on the proposed HHS rule here. Comments are due before midnight on October 7, 2016. The federal Department of Health and Human Services released a proposed rule that is quite obviously intended to siphon Title X funds to Planned Parenthood. The rule would prohibit states from prioritizing funding for its […]
On Saturday, September 10, abortion promoters are holding concerts in several cities to “make abortion access a reality.” It’s not a fundraiser, interestingly; tickets are free. Evidently email addresses and photos of a crowd of people rallying for the cause are more valuable to them at the moment than money… even though they have to […]
Mother Teresa was canonized over the weekend. The atheist blogosphere is all “Mother Teresa failed to help suffering people!” and the pro-life blogosphere is all “Look at all these great pro-life Mother Teresa quotes!” and I’m in the middle all “Awwwwkward…” The most serious of the many criticisms against Mother Teresa is that the clinics […]
The internet is a wonderful thing. Obviously. How did we ever live without facebook, YouTube, and cat memes? But the internet has also made it easy for racist, fascist types to find each other and spew venom. You may have heard Hillary Clinton’s speech about the “alt Right” recently. Cracked (not just a humor mag!) […]
Say #HelloHyde to Gina. She is the daughter of Cuban immigrants and became a pro-life activist while attending the University of Florida. The 40th anniversary of the Hyde Amendment will take place on September 30, 2016! We are so excited to celebrate this milestone. The Hyde Amendment restricts taxpayer funding of abortion through the […]
I really want to like MTV’s “If Famous Movie Romances Were Feminist” video: Unpopular opinion: I’ve always had a deep-seated hatred for Grease, not only because of the “did she put up a fight” line this sketch takes issue with, but also because of the royally screwed up message you get from the movie’s conclusion. […]
Whenever I attend the March for Life, I see them: the handful of men, bundled up in the cold, holding signs that say “I regret lost fatherhood.” They are heavily outnumbered by the surrounding women carrying “I regret my abortion” signs. On this blog, we’ve talked a lot about abortions caused by coercive male partners, […]
