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 […]
Earlier this week, Secular Pro-Life was pleased to join a coalition of organizations to support expanding the child tax credit. Secular Pro-Life signed an open letter to Congressional leaders (Rep. Johnson, Rep. Jeffries, Sen. Schumer, and Sen. McConnell) urging them to pass the Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act. This bipartisan legislation will […]
I’ve recently been seeing headlines like these: On January 2, 2024, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on Texas v Becerra, a case about what the federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) can require of hospitals. And no, the court did not say Texas can ban emergency abortions. EMTALA requires Medicare-accepting […]

Recently published research shows that anti-abortion laws that went into effect after Dobbs are preventing abortions, saving the lives of approximately 32,000 babies per year. (To understand how this squares with other research suggesting a rise in abortions, see this article.) The researchers reached this conclusion by examining birth rates in states with and without […]

Introducing the WeCount report. You may have recently seen headlines like these: These articles are based on the October 2023 WeCount report. WeCount describes themselves as a “national abortion reporting effort.” Their report focuses on the number of abortions in the United States in the 12 month period after Dobbs (July 2022 through June 2023), […]
Abortion proponents sometimes claim that a family grieving miscarriage did not lose an unborn child but only “a pregnancy” or a “clump of cells.” The clump of cells narrative is not only callous but also ignorant to centuries of scientific discoveries by embryological pioneers like Dr. John Burns (Burns’s Obstetrical Works, 1809), Dr. John B.

Photo Credit Hannah Busing on Unsplash Yesterday the National March For Life revealed their theme for the 2024 year: “With Every Woman, For Every Child.” This is a natural progression from their 2023 theme, “Next Steps: Marching Forward into a Post-Roe America.” With that came the effort to create and enforce federal policies to protect […]
Today’s post is an email sent to SPL from Kathleen Szekely, reprinted with permission. I just read your excellent piece on the Ohio/Washington DC miscarriage issue. This needs to be heard over and over, because not only does it expose a lie about healthcare law and state law, it exposes media bias and is an example […]
