[Today’s guest post by Kris Skul is part of our paid blogging program.] We already know that religious arguments against abortion are ineffective at reaching a general audience—that’s why Secular Pro-Life exists. But not every secular defense is airtight, either. Many common pro-life arguments are readily refuted by abortion supporters, even if they make […]
Nope! Where may I collect? [Today’s guest blogger is anonymous.] While a stereotype out there about pro-lifers is that we’re prudish virgins who all hate sex, that’s not true. You can be pro-life and still have sex. Plenty of us have, myself included. But I always have sex with the thought in the back of […]
Today’s blog post is by guest blogger Nick Reynosa. In a 2010 survey, Americans stated that the group of people that they trust the least is people of no religion. The study went on to say that Americans see irreligion as more suspect than other controversial lifestyles, including homosexuality. In this less than welcoming […]
[Today’s guest post is by K. Misener.] I recently became aware of a book which looks at the pro-life movement from an academic perspective – “The Making of Pro-Life Activists: How Social Movement Mobilization Works” by sociology professor Ziad Munson.

[Today’s guest post by Crystal Kupper is part of our paid blogging program.] Last month, when I wrote about the value and worth of four-year-old Sophia, I wasn’t surprised that people were taken with her story.

[Today’s guest post is by SPL member Lindsey Musgrave.] Photos courtesy of Lindsey Musgrave I hope that this story emphasizes the importance of researching all options and even getting a second opinion when faced with a prenatal diagnosis. Sometimes, things truly are bad when it comes to prenatal anomalies, but not always, and hope […]
[Today’s guest post by Crystal Kupper is part of our paid blogging program.] I gasped the first time I saw her photo. Limbs splayed out across a metal crib, the little girl’s ribs nearly poked out of her chest. Her striped socks — the only piece of clothing she wore on her emaciated body — […]
[Today’s post by Prayson Daniel is part of Secular Pro-Life’s paid blogging program.] Tracking Baruch Brody’s view, brain-life theorists claim that in order to be fully human, a being must possess properties “such that their loss would mean the going out of existence (the death) of a human being” (Brody 1975, 102). The property of […]
Guest Blogger Renee shares her experiences upon finding out her mother is post-abortive. Hi, my name is Renee, though many know me as Susi O Fanabba. I am relatively new to the pro-life movement, as I only started speaking out in March of last year. It was quite a transition, considering that I had avoided […]
[Today’s guest post is by the wonderful Melissa Ohden.] “This idea of an infant being born alive in the process of a botched abortion and people not making efforts to resuscitate — I think that’s a myth they like to propagate.
