[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.

Despite the many great and reasoned conversations that we had, there were sadly some who simply refused to form a reasoned argument. It’s […]
[Today’s post is by Kelsey and Kristine!] Kristine: Being a pro-lifer at an atheist event is a little like walking around with three heads. On the one hand, the moment I arrived at the Reason Rally I felt myself at home with those who think as little of religion as I currently do. And yet […]
