Living in the Present as a Pro-Lifer
/119 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard[Today’s guest post is by Nick Reynosa.] While giving a lecture, the renowned historian David McCullough made an interesting observation: “history is not about the past.” He went on to elaborate: If you think about it, no one ever lived in the past.

Working it Out: Audience Participation Requested!
/500 Comments/in Uncategorized /by adminTaken from woodleywonderworks I am a newer writer for Secular Pro-Life. I have been writing blog posts about logical fallacies (and will continue to do so occasionally), but now I’d like to move to another phase of blog posts that I’m really excited to start.

Politics happened, and stuff
/7 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey HazzardYesterday was an election day. That’s all that anyone’s going to be talking about today. And that makes things a little tricky for us, since A) SPL isn’t really involved in electoral politics (because we’re non-partisan, and also we couldn’t afford to organize a 501(c)(4) even if we wanted to), and B) we generally write […]

/65 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey HazzardFor those of us in the United States, November 4th is election day. Of particular concern to pro-lifers, the November 4th election will determine control of the Senate, which approves Supreme Court nominees. Given the age of some of our current Justices, both pro- and anti-abortion, there’s no telling what could happen between now and […]
Watch Crescendo for free on YouTube
/133 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey HazzardCrescendo is a pro-life short film that was produced a couple of years ago. I got to see it early and thought it was excellent, especially where production values are concerned. However, it was not made widely available initially, because the producers were screening it at fundraisers for pregnancy resource centers. (It reportedly raised over […]
