Gonzales v. Carhart is a 2007 Supreme Court case in which the Court upheld the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003. Both the pro-life and pro-choice communities reacted strongly to the case, seeing it as a shift in the Court’s perspective on abortion. As the New York Times explained, the decision was “the first in […]
The Democratic Convention was heavy on pro-abortion messaging, to put it mildly. Pro-life Democrats attempted to moderate the party platform and push a “big tent” strategy on abortion, but were rejected at every turn. In light of that disappointing experience, various commentators have wondered where, if anywhere, pro-life Democrats can go from here. Kristen Day, […]
Last week, I went to a CVS MinuteClinic to have a funny-looking mole checked out.

I […]
On Friday, the Virginia Board of Health approved new safety regulations for abortion centers in the Commonwealth. I was among the supporters gathered outside as the 13-2 ruling was announced. We stood holding signs with information about troubled abortionists and abortion centers in Virginia. As a pro-abortion group streamed out of the building, one young […]
[Guest Blogger Nathaniel presents a nuanced perspective on the rape exception. Secular Pro-Life takes no formal stance on the rape exception, but encourages discussion on the issue. For more information, see here.] It’s hard to make nuanced arguments in the abortion debate because folks on both sides tend to see a debate primarily as a […]

This Friday, the Virginia Board of Health will once again consider safety regulations for abortion centers. Perhaps the most important of these is a requirement that hallways and doorways be wide enough to accommodate a stretcher in cases of emergency (for why, click on the photo at right to enlarge). Pro-choice groups are strongly opposed […]
