Pro-choice people accuse pro-lifers of insincerity and hypocrisy. Pro-lifers oppose abortion because we believe abortion kills morally valuable human beings. This is the core premise of the pro-life position. For many people, this central tenant inspires us to spend a lot of time, energy, and resources trying to change our culture and laws so that […]

Secular Pro-Life supporter Benjamin K. asks: “I’m having some pushback on my public claims that the majority of pro-choice people support at least some restrictions.

For example, last year’s Texas Heartbeat Law incorporated Texas’ Health & Safety […]

In a recent article in the Atlantic, Jerusalem Demsas asks an important question: “Now that the Supreme Court seems poised to reverse itself on Roe v. Wade, abortion-rights advocates and anti-abortion advocates are both claiming the mantle of popularity. Who’s right?” Spoiler alert: we are. Demsas, who is pro-abortion, takes a while to get there […]
