A personal note
/11 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey HazzardThis is Kelsey speaking. I want to address some comments about my personal religious beliefs, or lack thereof. I haven’t talked much about this publicly, since it’s my position that we should evaluate abortion arguments on their own merits, rather than on the personal characteristics of whoever’s making the argument. But since this has become […]

Through the Looking Glass.
/127 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Monica SnyderI frequently find myself in abortion arguments with people who just cannot wrap their minds around the idea that I think the fetus deserves human rights. It’s like they believe I just bring up fetal rights as a red herring to distract from my supposed hatred of women. They do not believe the fetus deserves […]
American Atheists convention: day 2
/7 Comments/in Religion /by Kelsey HazzardKristine: A comment on yesterday’s blog pointed out that “being an atheist does not automatically make one open minded.” In my experience at the rally and atheist convention I would agree wholeheartedly with that statement. Despite the many great and reasoned conversations that we had, there were sadly some who simply refused to form a reasoned argument. It’s […]

American Atheists convention: day 1
/56 Comments/in Religion /by Kelsey Hazzard[Today’s post is by Kelsey and Kristine!] Kristine: Being a pro-lifer at an atheist event is a little like walking around with three heads.

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. The issue at hand does not only consist of whether or not we believe any of the three above “preventative services’ are okay, the larger issue at hand is that the HHS mandate also forces […]
