Update on Drexel and Call for Action
/3 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey HazzardLast Friday, Secular Pro-Life reported that the Earl Macke School of Law at Drexel University was encouraging its students to participate in pro-abortion “public service” projects. One of these projects demonstrated an incredible ignorance of First Amendment law. The same day the story broke, I wrote an email to Karen Pearlman Raab, the school’s Director […]
Meet Ryan
/4 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard[Today’s post is by SPL member Megan Hamrick.] It’s World Down Syndrome Day! 9 out of 10 of these beautiful children are never born because of abortion. And even after birth, there are those who believe they are better off dead; that they are drains on our society, that they are not real living people. […]
What do Americans mean when they say “pro-choice”?
/22 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Monica SnyderWhile the terms “pro-life” and “pro-choice” are clearly open for interpretation, I’ve had the impression that, generally, “pro-life” people think abortion should be illegal except in cases that threaten the mother’s life (and perhaps in cases of rape*) and “pro-choice” people generally think abortion should be legal throughout pregnancy. My impressions are due partially to […]
Slippery Slope . . . Are We there?
/2 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Timmerie MillingtonLast month Health and Human Services (HHS) mandated birth control, sterilization, and abortion inducing drugs in President Obama’s healthcare reform.

Drexel needs a civics lesson
/1 Comment/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey HazzardKelsey speaking. It’s hard to believe that my graduation from the University of Virginia School of Law is just two months away! In light of this approaching milestone, I decided to revisit an issue from early in my law school career: namely, whether or not the Earle Mack School of Law at Drexel University in […]
Don’t like abortion?
/8 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Monica SnyderSo it’s pretty ridiculous how many times I’ve heard this: If you want to understand a pro-lifer’s perspective, take any argument about abortion and substitute “fetus” with “3-year-old.” Try this with me: “If you don’t like killing 3-year-olds, then don’t kill any. But don’t try to impose your beliefs on me!” See what happens […]

Crossed Lines
/4 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Monica SnyderI am not, by any stretch, the first pro-lifer to draw parallels between abortion and infanticide. Many before me have tried to explain our concern that society could adapt the pro-choice mentality to apply to newborns. Pro-choicers usually respond with flat denial, and sometimes disgust.

Cool stuff
/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey HazzardSPL member Ward Ricker has produced a couple of useful tools. The first is a quiz that tests your general knowledge of abortion in the United States; it uses neutral language, so both pro- and anti-abortion people can use it and learn something. (I confess that I got one of the questions wrong.) The second […]
