A prenatal diagnosis is often accompanied by the pressure to abort, leaving most parents feeling unsupported the medical community and society at large. In our series “Stories of Prenatal Diagnosis,” we share testimonies of parents who received a diagnosis while pregnant and their personal experience in handling it. Today’s story is from “T. M.” What […]
SPL took to social media to ask followers: List any points where you agree with the opposing side in the abortion debate. Responses varied greatly, from both pro-life and pro-choice commenters. Here are some that stood out. Dermont K.: Pregnancy can be difficult for many mothers. Pregnancy can present risks to the life and/or health […]
Once a month or so, the Secular Pro-Life blog features a short interview with a pro-life atheist or agnostic. (See the full series of interviews here.) Although Secular Pro-Life is not exclusively for atheists and agnostics, historically they have played a key role in the organization. As they become more prominent in the pro-life movement generally, we’re […]
Hi all – I’d like to joyfully invite you to SPL’s 3rd Annual Trivia Night! Most pro-life fundraisers are formal, somewhat serious events, often with specific political and religious themes. We designed SPL’s trivia night differently. It’s nonpartisan, nonsectarian, casual, lighthearted, and entertaining. People have been resonating with it: we’re located in Missouri and last year […]

March for Life week in Washington DC was fantastic. Each night before I went to bed I tried to write down everyone I had talked to. Ultimately I counted 143 interactions I had with other leaders and activists in the movement, many of them good friends. Practically a reunion. It was also totally exhausting. For […]

Often the articles are about (1) women in states with abortion bans who (2) have a missed or incomplete miscarriage (their body does not fully pass the remains of their child on its own) and […]
During my NYC trip last October, I met up with fellow atheist and long-time SPL supporter LP. We filmed a quick TikTok in Bryant Park. On Dec 21 we finally got around to posting it across platforms. For context, if one of our TikToks gets more than 1,500 views or one of our Instagram reels gets more than […]
Today, Donald Trump will be inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States. Trump’s desire to “leave abortion to the states” is a morally hollow position of convenience, a successor to the “personally pro-life, politically pro-choice” cop-out of the 1990s and early 2000s.
