Nearly two months after Dobbs v. Jackson, the legal landscape has changed dramatically. Under the Roe regime, babies younger than 24 weeks were utterly defenseless, and even older babies often could be legally killed. Today, fifteen states recognize the humanity of children in the womb. (So does Utah, but its law is currently held up […]
[Today’s guest article is by Dr. Calum Miller.] Introduction Opponents of the right to life often claim that abortion is a human right, and that “the UN says so.” Neither of these is true. While some UN agencies and treaty bodies with no legal authority often advocate for abortion against the explicit position of many […]
Tomorrow, voters will decide whether to add a pro-life amendment to the Kansas constitution. In 2019, the Kansas Supreme Court struck down the state’s ban on dismemberment abortions. The dismemberment method, also known as “dilation & evacuation” or “D & E,” is used after the first trimester, when unborn babies are too large to kill […]

Kentucky Judge Mitch Perry temporarily enjoined the state’s pro-life laws, laughably claiming that recognition of human life in the womb is an establishment of religion. Ninety-five percent of biologists, including a strong majority of those who consider themselves pro-choice, acknowledge the scientific reality that human life begins at fertilization.

Secular Pro-Life joined a coalition of dozens of groups, led by Students for Life Action, in an open letter to Congress. The letter forcefully refutes the pro-abortion proposal to establish abortion hubs on federal land. In the wake of Dobbs, desperate abortion industry groups sought any workaround to continue killing unborn babies in pro-life jurisdictions. […]
NPR recently published “Do restrictive abortion laws actually reduce abortion? A global map offers insights.” Correspondent Michaeleen Doucleff begins the article asking “In countries where abortion is illegal, are there fewer abortions?” and then continues “The question sounds simple, but it’s tough to answer.” It’s not a tough question to answer, though. Doucleff answers it […]
If you don’t want to read the 213 page opinion yourself, here are some brief notes I took. First and foremost: “Held: The Constitution does not confer a right to abortion; Roe and Casey are overruled; and the authority to regulate abortion is returned to the people and their elected representatives.” The Court argues that […]
On June 22, we asked our social media followers: “If Dobbs does end up overturning Roe v. Wade, how will you mark the occasion?” Little did we know that Roe would be thrown on the ash heap of history just two days later! Here are a few of our favorite responses: Madison U.: Coincidentally I […]
