Pro-Lifers Face Sentencing for Civil Disobedience

May 13, 2024/in Legislation, laws, & court cases, Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

In October 2020, nine people entered a building in Washington, D.C. According to the Associated Press, they “began blocking the doors,” “blocked the employee entrance,” and “five of them chained themselves together on chairs.” No violence occurred. Normally, peaceful occupation of a building would, at most, result in a trespass charge. We’ve seen that play […]

Abortion Battle Becomes Jurisdictional

April 15, 2024/in Legislation, laws, & court cases, Uncategorized /by Guest Blogger

With Roe in the rearview mirror, the change in abortion related legal battles reflects the differences in laws across the United States. This patchwork of laws is particularly relevant in first trimester abortions, which are more likely to occur at home through drugs that can be obtained via mail. Federal and state laws contradict one […]

Human Sacrifice Is Now Legal in Indiana

April 9, 2024/in Legislation, laws, & court cases, Rape Exception, Religion, Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

Quite a headline, I know. We try not to be the clickbaity sort here at Secular Pro-Life. But an Indiana court has, in fact, opened the door to religiously motivated legal homicides. A little background: We are talking about a RFRA challenge to Indiana’s abortion law. RFRA (short for the Religious Freedom Restoration Act) is […]

Let Their Hearts Beat at the Florida Polls

April 3, 2024/in Legislation, laws, & court cases, Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

“Florida’s top court ushers in six-week abortion ban, but voters will have their say,” a BBC headline announces. “Florida six-week abortion ban will soon become law, but voters will consider a constitutional amendment this fall,” says CNN. “Florida Court Allows 6-Week Abortion Ban, but Voters Will Get to Weigh In,” writes the New York Times.

Did Dobbs make any difference? Guttmacher reports over 1M abortions in 2023

March 21, 2024/in Legislation, laws, & court cases, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

[Most of this info is also available as a Twitter/X thread here.] A new Guttmacher report shows abortions in 2023 are at the highest level since 2012. At an estimated 1,026,690 abortions, the 2023 number is a 10% increase over 2020 levels. Does this mean Dobbs (the 2022 Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. […]

No, Dobbs hasn’t caused “sweeping changes” in where doctors practice medicine

March 15, 2024/in Legislation, laws, & court cases, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

The Chronicle for Higher Education recently published “Medical Students Fought to Get Training in Abortion Care. Then Came ‘Dobbs.’” Author Heidi Landecker paints a grim picture of medical students who just want to practice “ethical medicine” (perform abortions), but struggle to get training in states that have been able to restrict elective abortion since Dobbs.

Summary: The Abortion By Fraud Criminalization Act

March 11, 2024/in Abortion pills, Legislation, laws, & court cases, Uncategorized /by Guest Blogger

[Today’s post is written by a practicing attorney, submitted anonymously.] In February a story broke out of Texas in which a man, Mason Herring, surreptitiously dosed his then-wife, Catherine Herring, numerous times with misoprostol. Luckily, Catherine’s daughter survived and is still alive today. For his part, Mason was charged by the State of Texas with […]

Wild Media Bias in Alabama IVF Case

February 28, 2024/in Legislation, laws, & court cases, Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

The Alabama Supreme Court ruled in favor of infertile couples who conceived through IVF. That bears repeating: the IVF parents won. Here’s the full text of the Court’s opinion so you can confirm for yourself. If you are a casual observer just going off of headlines, you could be forgiven for believing the exact opposite: […]

Alabama’s IVF Ruling: Embryos Are Children

February 23, 2024/in Legislation, laws, & court cases, Personhood, Philosophy, Uncategorized /by Guest Blogger

Today’s guest post is written by Nick Colgrove, who has a PhD in philosophy and has published about ectogenesis (artificial wombs) and personhood. SPL has summarized his work previously. Imagine that one day, we develop artificial-gestation technologies (AGTs) that allows human beings to develop from conception until nine months in age. Rather than being gestated […]
