Why the Religious Freedom Argument for Abortion is Doomed

October 24, 2022/0 Comments/in Legislation, laws, & court cases, Religion, Speeches, Discussions, Presentations, Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

Kelsey Hazzard, the founder and president of Secular Pro-Life, also happens to be a lawyer. For the Rehumanize International conference earlier this month, she offered her legal analysis of lawsuits that challenge abortion restrictions on “religious liberty” grounds. The video and transcript are below. The short version (spoiler alert): A religious liberty claim does not […]

Podcast: Dealing with Difficult Pro-Lifers (Part 2)

September 21, 2022/0 Comments/in Speeches, Discussions, Presentations, Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

Our executive director, Monica Snyder, recently appeared on two episodes of the Equipped for Life podcast with our friends at Equal Rights Institute. The topic: dealing with difficult pro-lifers. The episodes were recorded pre-Dobbs, but the advice is evergreen. Part 1 covered four types of pro-life debaters who can do more harm than good: (1) Bible verse guy, (2) “Keep […]

Podcast: Dealing with Difficult Pro-Lifers (Part 1)

September 19, 2022/0 Comments/in Religion, Speeches, Discussions, Presentations, Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

With Roe v. Wade‘s reversal, we can finally have a real debate about abortion in the United States. From what I’ve seen on social media since Dobbs — mostly lies about ectopic pregnancy, marriage equality, and the like (with a healthy dose of ableism and classism) — I’m inclined to agree with this tweet: But […]

Watch This Amazing Abortion Debate

August 19, 2022/0 Comments/in Speeches, Discussions, Presentations, Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

This debate lasts twenty-four minutes. I was hooked in the first twenty-four seconds: “A fetus is cells. They are cells. Are you proposing that cells be given rights?” “That is a lie. Abortion kills babies, and that is the truth.” “Abortion does not kill babies. Abortion is healthcare for women.” “I guess we can just […]

Announcing the Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising

October 6, 2021/0 Comments/in Pro-Life Demographics, Speeches, Discussions, Presentations /by Kelsey Hazzard

Secular Pro-Life is led by three pro-life atheist women of varying political persuasions. Monica Snyder, the Executive Director, is a conservative; Kelsey Hazzard, the President, is a moderate; and Terrisa Bukovinac, the Vice President, is our resident dirty liberal hippie. In all seriousness, we love Terrisa, and we know that the pro-life cause cannot succeed […]
