Earlier this month, you may have seen a few headlines about “Satanic abortions” that made you roll your eyes and flash back to kooky chain emails you received from your uncle in the early 2000s. Allow me to explain what is going on. Let’s begin by clarifying the nature of the Satanic Temple, which despite […]
[Today’s guest post is by Acyutananda.] During his lifetime, Christopher Hitchens seems to have been consistent always in perceiving the rightful place of the unborn as members of our human family; yet he seems to have been “all over the map” regarding public policy on abortion. He said different things about law and policy at […]
My name is Chris, and I’m an alcoholic. Thankfully, a recovering one – though I was not a first-time success story.

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 […]
