In 2011, a 20-year-old woman sought an elective medical procedure. The procedure would help her career as a dancer. It was, she surely felt, her body and her choice. But if she were being honest with herself, perhaps she would have acknowledged that the men in her life had considerable influence over her decision. Local doctors […]
Our friends at the Life Matters Journal, an amazing Millennial-led consistent life ethic magazine, are out with a new issue. It includes a piece by SPL’s very own Monica Snyder, on page 31, entitled The Imago Dei: Why Secularists Should Care About Human Life. On page 20, longtime SPL supporter Kris Skul outlines steps the pro-life […]
This post is the second in our series on abortion center websites. (Click here for our first.) Today, we are spotlighting two centers in Phoenix, AZ: Camelback Family Planning and Acacia Women’s Center. The website for Camelback Family Planning is pretty mundane on the surface. It’s mainly notable for what it doesn’t say in its […]
“Website Under Deconstruction” is a new series of SPL blog posts in which we deconstruct bizarre, disingenuous, and otherwise noteworthy statements on abortion center websites. First up is Reproductive Health Services of Montgomery. It doesn’t disappoint. The very first sentence on its homepage is incredible: Reproductive Health Services (“RHS”) was one of the first clinics […]
1) Donate $50 (or what you can afford) to a domestic violence shelter. You’ve probably already seen the campaign for #50DollarsNot50Shades. The Fifty Shades of Grey movie is coming out tomorrow, and advocates for abuse victims charge that the film glorifies emotional manipulation, stalking, and violence as “romantic.” They’re urging people to forego the movie […]
A broad coalition of pro-life organizations, including Secular Pro-Life, are calling on the Alabama Department of Public Health to take swift action against the Central Alabama Women’s Clinic. Under Alabama law, facilities that perform more than nine abortions a month must be licensed by the state. Pro-life groups have uncovered evidence that Central Alabama Women’s […]

In keeping with the Debunker’s Handbook, let me start by stating the truth. The Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act, which was recently introduced in the Senate, will not reduce government funding for women’s heath care. Not by a single penny! The Act will merely affect how Title X funding is distributed to the health care […]
[Today’s guest post is by Michael Crone and Philip Hamilton.] For far too long, pro-life politicians have wavered or shied away from life issues out of concern that bringing those issues to the forefront will cause them to lose votes. The pattern repeats itself with each election because as pro-life activists, we have been rather […]
In the abortion debate, sometimes people describe pregnancy as “nine months of inconvenience” or a “temporary donation of the uterus” or other similar terms. Usually they use these descriptions because they are trying to show that, relative to abortion, unwanted pregnancy is not a very severe situation to endure. I do agree that abortion […]
