A new report by the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) shows that religiously unaffiliated Americans now make up a quarter of the American population—making us, ironically, the largest “religious group” in the country. Consistent with previous surveys, PRRI found that Millennials are driving the trend (click to enlarge): To its credit, PRRI dug deeper than […]
Today’s guest post is by Lauren Handy. She recently did some research and determined that the entire front lawn outside the Planned Parenthood facility that just opened in Washington, D.C.—right up to the door—is public property, open to pro-lifers offering alternatives to abortion! This is a bigger deal than Ron Burgundy: We asked Lauren to […]
I do not take divorce lightly. I generally think “til death do us part” should mean til death do you part, and if you can’t handle that, don’t get married. But of course, there are exceptions. I would never counsel someone to stay with an abusive spouse, for example. And if your spouse threatens your […]
The anniversary of Roe v. Wade—January 22—is four short months away, and we’re already making plans. Note that the 2017 March for Life in Washington, D.C., will be delayed due to the presidential inauguration, but the Walk for Life West Coast will take place on the usual date. That means that the observance will take […]
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 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 […]
