Once a month or so, the Secular Pro-Life 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 […]
Secular Pro-Life exists because of volunteers. In 2009, SPL began as a work of heart for our founder (Kelsey), myself, and a select few others. Today our organization benefits from the knowledge, time, and talents of dozens of volunteers, which is why, despite our shoestring budget, our content is viewed over a million times per […]
Did You Know? Donating equities (stocks) to 501(c)3 nonprofits like Secular Pro-Life gives you major tax advantages: first you get the tax deduction for the stocks donated, and second you don’t have to pay capital gains taxes on any profit you accumulated. Instead of giving money to the IRS, gift it to us! And — […]
The way I see it, there are three keys to fetal pain. The IASP’s revised definition of pain, 4D ultrasound studies of fetal behavior, and The diminution of cortical necessity. Last time, I discussed the International Association of the Study of Pain (IASP)’s revised definition of pain, which discarded the requirement that a patient describe her pain verbally in […]

I have had the honor of serving as a foster parent for the past two and a half years. During that time I have cared for twelve children: some just for weekend respite care, some for a few months, and two for well over a year. I currently have a house full of excellent teenage […]
[Today’s article is by Terrisa Bukovinac, a pro-life atheist who serves as the vice president of Secular Pro-Life’s board of directors. She is also the founder and current president of Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising (PAAU), and founder and former executive director of Pro-Life San Francisco.] My advice to the next generation of pro-life activists and leaders […]
If you’ve ever heard of abortion pill reversal at all, you’ve probably heard dichotomous views on its safety, efficacy, and basis in science. Planned Parenthood, NPR, and ANSIRH all caution on how reversing a medical abortion may not be possible, may not be scientifically supported, and may not be supported by rigorous medical studies. On the other side, you […]
The documentary “After Tiller” features interviews of only doctors willing to provide third trimester abortions following the assassination of Dr. George Tiller (who had also provided third trimester abortions). The film features multiple pregnancies involving fetal anomalies, but it also presents abortions of healthy fetuses for other reasons. For example, about an hour and five […]
