Abortion advocates like to argue that if the right to life is restored, women will just turn to illegal abortions and harm themselves. I’ve previously pointed out why that argument is silly and condescending: [Abortion advocates who make that argument] are saying that the average American woman, living after the reversal of Roe, would be […]
Students for Life of America (SFLA) and its companion alumni organization Pro-Life Future are coordinating anti-Planned Parenthood rallies around the country and are seeking volunteer rally captains to expand the protests into as many cities as possible. The rallies will take place on July 28, a week from tomorrow. Under the banner #WomenBetrayed, the rallies […]
Abby S. wrote to Secular Pro-Life for advice: This is a six-year-old article, and I assume most of you have already read it. However, I wanted to mention that it brought me to a sickening epiphany: It’s not that the abortion advocates don’t know that a fetus is a human being, with arms, legs, brain […]
Support for preborn children and born children aren’t mutually exclusive When someone asks me what I’m doing about resources for born children, my initial reaction is often anger and defensiveness, for two reasons: 1) Because nobody ever says “If you oppose infanticide, you’d better be out there advocating for free and universal day care!” Freedom […]
I’d like to take a moment to respond to a meme that I have seen floating around Facebook: Essentially, this meme is stating that if women can’t back out of pregnancy, then men shouldn’t be able to, either. This is one of those arguments that pro-choice people should be able to immediately recognize as a […]
Photo taken at last January’s March for Life in Washington, D.C. On Wednesday, abortion advocates introduced a bill to pay for elective abortions with federal taxpayer funds. The bill “targets the Hyde Amendment, a 1976 provision that blocks federal money from going to pay for abortions, with exceptions for cases of rape or incest or […]
As we draw closer to another presidential election, and amid a new Gallup poll indicating a decline in American’s who consider themselves pro-life, the so called “abortion war” is heating up. The pro-choice side has taken to social media, and opinion columns responding to the nations tightening restrictions on abortion, by claiming that being pro-choice […]
The above tips were created in the context of racial justice advocacy post-Ferguson but apply well to activists in any movement, including the pro-life movement. Below is a lightly edited version of an email exchange I had with a budding pro-lifer earlier this week. Got a question for Secular Pro-Life? Contact us here. Q: I’ve […]
The one person who can’t fight back. [Today’s guest post by Acyutananda is part of our paid blogging program.] Let’s look at abortion in terms of problem-solving. What is the problem? Unwanted pregnancies. (Unwanted by someone – the pregnant woman often, but not always, being one of those persons.) Next we have to ask, what […]
Have you ever encountered a conversation that goes, roughly, like this? Pro-lifer: When I was pregnant, everyone told me I should have an abortion. But today, my child is the light of my life. Pro-choicer: You made a CHOICE about your pregnancy. You’re a hypocrite for trying to take CHOICE away from other women. Of […]
