Secular Pro-Life president Kelsey Hazzard speaking. I hope you don’t mind me being a little more personal than I usually am on this blog.

A sidewalk counselor whose sign reads: “You can stop and talk to me. I was a teen mom. I’ve been there.” I write today to point out an interesting parallel between two public policy debates that, at first glance, don’t have much to do with one another. But the exact same argument is being used […]
