At SPL, we regularly get messages from followers asking us to block “pro-choice trolls.” Some thoughts. Recognize the difference between a troll versus someone who is simply pro-choice and disagrees. The pro-choice person disagreeing might not always be the epitome of honesty and politeness (neither are some pro-lifers), but there’s still a distinction. There are […]
Photo Credit Secular Pro-Life On October 4 I’m joining SPL’s Board VP (and PAAU’s founder), Terrisa Bukovinac to rally in Phoenix against Prop 139. Arizona already allows elective abortion until 15 weeks, but apparently that’s not enough for abortion advocates. They’re fighting for the “right” to abort viable children. It’s grotesque extremism, and we have […]
Much of this info available as a tweet thread here. As seen on Twitter/X: So the South Carolina abortion ban directly resulted in a woman being charged with murder for a miscarriage? That sounds awful. Also really strange, because South Carolina’s abortion law sprecifically does not allow criminal prosecution of women who get abortions. Here […]

For the past three years, PAAU has been doing the hard work of confronting an apathetic culture with the reality of abortion. They have multiple projects in the works that may be of interest to secular pro-lifers. […]

A prenatal diagnosis is often accompanied by the pressure to abort, leaving most parents feeling unsupported by the medical community and society at large. In our series “Stories of Prenatal Diagnosis,” we share testimonies of parents who received a diagnosis while pregnant and their personal experience in handling it. Today’s story is from “L.E.” What […]
Remember this meme? When media outlets make biased decisions about what stories to cover or not cover, it activates the availability heuristic, a common logical fallacy. That’s why it’s important to rely on data, not anecdotes – especially when it comes to matters of health. The data tell us that maternal health in the United […]
We asked our followers on social media: 1. Are you pro-life (PL) or pro-choice (PC)?2. Besides abortion restrictions or bans, list any policy positions you think should be priorities of the pro-life movement. Here are a few of the top responses. MissAnthrope: “PC. Better access to supportive, voluntary (non-coercive and non-punitive) treatment, including medication assisted […]
This content is available in video form here, and in written form below the video. Also posted to Facebook and Twitter/X. Regarding “after-birth abortion,” there are (at least) three distinctions to keep in mind. 1) There are distinctions between ending a pregnancy when there is an adverse prenatal diagnosis versus when there isn’t. Sometimes parents […]
