[Today’s guest post by Rebecca Downs is part of our paid blogging program.] By now you may have heard about a brief submitted to the Supreme Court, on behalf of those opposed to same-sex marriage, which claims recognizing such marriages could cause 900,000 abortions. Gene Schaerr also wrote for The Daily Signal explaining the claim and summarized the brief for Public Discourse. The […]
I recently had the unique opportunity to spend time with Elizabeth, who is a volunteer with Exhale. Exhale is known as one of the only post-abortion support groups in existence that is not affiliated with the pro-life movement. Its website includes links to the National Abortion Federation and Planned Parenthood, but no abortion alternatives/pregnancy care […]
I just finished reading Bad Faith: When Religious Belief Trumps Modern Medicine by Dr. Paul Offit. The main focus of the book is religious refusal of life-saving medical treatment for one’s children. However, Dr. Offit does devote a chapter to abortion. He does an admirable job handling the subject; unlike Bill Nye, he fully acknowledges […]
Earlier this month, we shared a call to action from Students for Life of America (SFLA) on our facebook page. SFLA reported that two Fargo, North Dakota teenagers—Brigid and Katie—wanted to form pro-life clubs at their high schools but were facing a stubborn pro-censorship administration. School officials declared that the proposed clubs were “too controversial” […]
I was reading a pro-choice blog in which the author had an experience with a pro-life woman. The author asked this woman if a child who dies in a car accident is just like a child who is aborted. Incredulous that the woman would believe this, the author says, “I them [sic] pointed to my […]

This campaign, which will launch in late May or early June, focuses on a long-term risk of induced abortion. I can’t reveal all the details yet, but in very general […]
Those of you not living under rocks have undoubtedly noticed that the 2016 presidential campaign is underway. On the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton has formally announced her candidacy and is cruising to the nomination. On the Republican side, Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, and Marco Rubio are officially seeking the GOP nomination for president, and many […]
Today’s post is part of our “Website Under Deconstruction” series exploring abortion center websites. The Blue Mountain Clinic is an abortion business in Missoula, Montana. It’s somewhat unusual in that it combines abortion with the provision of legitimate health care like treatment for diabetes and other common afflictions, annual physicals, and mental health care. In […]
Graphic via UnChoice April 12-19 is coerced abortion awareness week. At Secular Pro-Life, we recognize the harm that coerced abortion causes both to women and their preborn children. Coerced abortion can take many forms. Perhaps the best known is state-sponsored coerced abortion in China. Organizations working to end this human rights atrocity include Women’s Rights […]
Language is one of the most important aspects of being human. It’s what sets us apart from animals. Language is how we communicate our desires and our needs. Language helps us understand and make sense of the world around us, and it lets us make distinctions so we can know how one thing differs from […]
