Terms of choice

August 30, 2012/11 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

Over the years, there have been many calls (from both sides of the aisle) to do away with the labels “pro-life” and “pro-choice.” The terms are “self-congratulatory,” over- and under-inclusive, devoid of meaning– really, the only point in their favor is that we’ve been using them for 40+ years. Pro-life agnostic Conner Alford, who is […]

“Actually, I Think Men Should Have An Opinion About My Uterus”

August 29, 2012/10 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

The Huffington Post’s Carla Naumberg writes about why she believes men should have a say in reproductive policy.  Given that Carla describes herself as “unabashedly pro-choice” I’m sure there’s much she and I disagree on, but I thought she was spot on here: Most men, however, are not rapists and do not support rape. Most […]

American Ambivalence

August 28, 2012/12 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

The Boston Globe’s Jeff Jacoby points out that most Americans’ views on abortion don’t fully align with either Republican or Democratic party platforms: Only about 1 in 5 [Americans] ever say that abortion should always be illegal. When asked directly whether abortion should be permitted if a pregnancy results from rape or incest, huge majorities […]

The Life Equations

August 27, 2012/24 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kara Balogova

[Guest blogger Kara considers different factors regarding the rape exception.  While SPL does not necessarily agree with every view written here, Kara makes several good points deserving of discussion as she earnestly explores the issue.] The horrid sentiments expressed by Todd Akin have left a lot of people livid and angry.  I am one of […]

Punishing the Rapist, Not the Rapist’s Child

August 25, 2012/67 Comments/in Rape Exception /by Guest Blogger

Today’s post is by Kristine Kruszelnicki. As a pro-lifer who does not support the rape exception, I cringed as I watched Todd Akin’s suicidal interview.   Todd Akin should never have publicly raised an argument that he was not able and prepared to back up – especially one as groundless as the claim that “legitimate rape” […]

Thoughts on Todd Akin

August 24, 2012/12 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Guest Blogger

[Guest Blogger Jen R., co-founder of All Our Lives, shares her thoughts on Todd Akin’s “legitimate rape” comments.] So Todd Akin, who thinks that pregnancy resulting from rape is “really rare” because “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut the whole thing down,” announced yesterday that he is […]

Bodily Integrity Revisited

August 22, 2012/36 Comments/in Bodily Rights, Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

[Guest Blogger Simon takes a particular interest in the philosophical aspects of the abortion debate.  Here he considers the important role of bodily integrity.] When studying the philosophy of abortion, it is often very hard to find new perspectives.  Many arguments run along the usual lines of bodily autonomy, personhood, the moral value of autonomy and […]

Response to article in “The Humanist”

August 20, 2012/24 Comments/in Biology /by Kelsey Hazzard

An article appears in the September/October 2012 issue of The Humanist, entitled “Are Atheist Pro-Life Groups Promoting Sound Science?” which quotes Secular Pro-Life leaders.  The article was written by Marco Rossi, a man who once worked for Planned Parenthood– so it’s no surprise that the article is unflattering.  He comes right out of the box […]

Early yesterday morning a young man from Virginia, posing as an intern, shot a security guard at the Family Research Council office in Washington D.C. The guard’s name is Leo Johnson and he was let out of surgery late last night and is doing well. Leo took a bullet to the arm as he, along […]

Viability = Personhood?

August 15, 2012/15 Comments/in Personhood, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

In the never-ending debates over what it means to be a “person” (as distinct from a human being) I’ve seen many people claim that you cannot be a person unless you are viable, i.e. a fetus is not a person until the fetus can live outside the mother’s body. The first counterargument I usually hear […]
