Once a month or so, this blog features a short interview with a pro-life atheist. (See the full series of interviews here.) Although Secular Pro-Life is not exclusively for atheists, historically atheists have played a key role in the organization. As atheists become more prominent in the pro-life movement generally, we’re excited for the opportunity to […]
Kelsey Hazzard, the founder and president of Secular Pro-Life, also happens to be a lawyer. For the Rehumanize International conference earlier this month, she offered her legal analysis of lawsuits that challenge abortion restrictions on “religious liberty” grounds. The video and transcript are below. The short version (spoiler alert): A religious liberty claim does not […]
[Esta publicación está disponible en español aquí.] Earlier this year Ana Kasparian of the Young Turks gave a quick rant about how the Bible has no say in what women can do with their bodies. Here is our response in video form with transcription below. Ana Kasparian clip: I don’t care that you’re a Christian. I […]
Secular resources are necessary At Secular Pro-Life, we’re repeatedly asked about resources for secular people who experience emotional and mental health issues after abortion.

Recently, several people have asked us what we mean by the name Secular Pro-Life. Is our leadership secular, or just advancing secular arguments? Who can join Secular Pro-Life? Secular Pro-Life is led by secular women. Specifically, it is led by three atheists: Monica Snyder (Executive Director), Kelsey Hazzard (Founder and President of the Board), and […]
[Special thanks to volunteer Samantha S. for her transcription work. If you’d like to volunteer to transcribe or translate, please fill out our volunteer survey.] Illinois Right to Life (IRTL) was kind enough to host me on their podcast, Life Chat, with this flattering episode title “Secular Pro-Life: Crucial in the abortion debate.” IRTL Executive […]
Kentucky Judge Mitch Perry temporarily enjoined the state’s pro-life laws, laughably claiming that recognition of human life in the womb is an establishment of religion. Ninety-five percent of biologists, including a strong majority of those who consider themselves pro-choice, acknowledge the scientific reality that human life begins at fertilization. Even the Justices who decided Roe […]
