[This article is the second in a series by David D’Auria. He is a statistician from Arlington, Virginia. He currently serves as acting president of Rehumanize International’s DC-Maryland-Virginia chapter. All views are his own.] In my last article, I asked pro-lifers to Take the Long View by considering not just the innocent lives that could […]
Bonner General Health (BGH), a hospital in Sandpoint, Idaho, has announced it is ending it’s labor and delivery services. You may have seen headlines like these: The Dobbs decision overturned Roe v.

On this World Down Syndrome Day, we are going to focus on one of the most important legal battles ever led when it comes to the dignity of persons with Down syndrome. Heidi Crowter is a woman with Down syndrome who has been fighting for years to remove the section from the UK’s abortion law […]
I do not care about your sex life. As long as we’re talking about consenting adults, I don’t care who you have sex with or when or why. I hope everyone involved stays safe and healthy, but aside from those factors it’s not just that I don’t care. I’m actively uninterested. And yet, like many […]

Once a month or so, the Secular Pro-Life blog features a short interview with a pro-life atheist. 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 share their stories. This month, […]

This is the core premise of the pro-life position. For many people, this central tenant inspires us to spend a lot of time, energy, and resources trying to change our culture and laws so that […]
After multiple pro-life protests and a warning letter from state Attorneys General, Walgreens has abandoned plans to sell chemical abortions in twenty states. The company wrote that it intends to comply “with all applicable laws and as a result would not be able to dispense Mifepristone in all locations.” The twenty states where Walgreens will […]
When discussing whether women regret abortion, I think people are using different meanings of the word “regret.” Some mean feeling remorse over an event or wishing it had gone differently. Others mean feeling sorrow or otherwise suffering. The ideas are similar but not identical. The distinction is important when we discuss whether women regret their […]
