[Today’s guest post is by pro-life Christian Feleica Langdon of Life Defenders.] Crisis pregnancies do not discriminate; people from all walks of life bear the weight of their uncertain circumstances. It can challenge the strongest of wills, and lead that vulnerable person to a decision they would have not have made otherwise. We want to […]
Polls consistently show that a strong majority of self-identified non-religious Americans call themselves pro-choice. That’s in stark contrast to the American public at large, which is roughly 50-50, though leaning pro-life in recent years. Some pro-choice atheists use this polling data as evidence that the pro-choice position is correct. The argument, in a nutshell, is […]
SPL representative Monica Snyder appeared on the most recent episode of the Friendly Atheist podcast. Click here to listen, and let us know what you think!
On Sunday night, SPL appeared on Atheist Analysis for what was intended to be a one-hour podcast. It wound up being closer to two hours. Nobody had any sudden pro-choice to pro-life conversions (or vice versa), but it was a great discussion and we found a lot of common ground. Watch/listen below, and let us […]

[Esta publicación está disponible en español aquí.] I’ve had a few Christian pro-life friends of mine (kindly) tell me they don’t really understand how a secularist can defend the pro-life position. Sure, they get that we don’t need religion to understand fetal development, and we don’t need to believe in a god to recognize that […]

Thanks to everyone who gave feedback. Here are a few suggestions. Feel encouraged to add more in the comments section, or email us (info@secularprolife.org)! 10 […]
Today’s blog post is by guest blogger Nick Reynosa. In a 2010 survey, Americans stated that the group of people that they trust the least is people of no religion. The study went on to say that Americans see irreligion as more suspect than other controversial lifestyles, including homosexuality. In this less than welcoming […]
The weekend before last I had a wonderful time meeting up with other SPL members and representing Secular Pro-Life at San Francisco’s various pro-life events. On Saturday afternoon, SPL spoke at the Walk for Life West Coast rally, then gathered together and held our banner high for the entire Walk. On Sunday, pro-life atheist Ellen […]
[Today’s guest post is by K. Misener.] I recently became aware of a book which looks at the pro-life movement from an academic perspective – “The Making of Pro-Life Activists: How Social Movement Mobilization Works” by sociology professor Ziad Munson. In contrast to the common stereotype that pro-lifers are all part of some unified conservative Christian […]
