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 tenet 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. Am I misinterpreting polls that say the majority of Americans support at least some restrictions?” Great question, Ben! You are correct, and the polling is very consistent. Limitless abortion has […]

1. Abortion bans mean women won’t be able to get treatment for ectopic pregnancy. There are currently no abortion laws that outlaw treatment of ectopic pregnancy. Quite the opposite, many state laws explicitly exempt treatment of ectopic pregnancy from their definitions of abortion. 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 […]
[Much of the following information is also available as a Twitter thread here.] You don’t have to be religious to be against abortion, as evidenced by the existence of pro-life atheists (like us), agnostics, and other non-religious people. For pro-choicers who argue otherwise, the thought process seems to be “religious people are pro-life, so if […]
Roe is on the rocks. If the draft majority opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson obtained by Politico holds, the landmark ruling declaring there to be a constitutional right to elective abortion will be, as former Vice President Mike Pence once put it, thrown in “the ash heap of history.” Ignoring the reality that there is […]
I follow quite a few pro-abortion activists on Twitter, and they are in a poor mood. That’s unsurprising, given that the Supreme Court could be a few short weeks away from reversing Roe. Already, pro-life states around the country have made strides in protecting babies that would not have been feasible a few short years […]
