[EDIT: A prior version of this article stated abortion rates “per 100,000 women of reproductive age.” The Guttmacher Institute actually uses a rate per 1,000 women. We regret the error. Unfortunately, it’s too late to change the graphic.] Last week, Hemant Mehta (the Friendly Atheist) spotlighted an interactive map from the American Values Atlas, which […]

Last year, we attended the first annual Vita et Veritas conference at Yale University (photo above), bringing together pro-life leaders throughout New England. It was a great success, so here we go again! SPL president Kelsey Hazzard will once again be part of an interfaith panel (last year’s included a Christian, a Muslim, and a […]
[Today’s guest post by Nate Sheets in the first of a series. The next post in the series will arrive sometime next week.] One pattern I often see online is that people shape their worldviews in black and white. It doesn’t matter what the subject is: abortion, euthanasia, gay marriage, Dr. Who, the President, or […]
Secular Pro-Life strongly encourages pro-lifers from different backgrounds to seek to understand one another and form coalitions in the fight against abortion. SPL’s main focus, obviously, is on different religious backgrounds. We ask our allies in the pro-life movement to help SPL create space for pro-life secularists and give secularists a stronger voice in the […]
I had a great time at College of Wooster. It’s a very, very small school, so I wasn’t expecting a University of Georgia-sized crowd (which is good, because I didn’t get one). But what the audience lacked in quantity, they more than made up for in quality. It was a mixed group—pro-life and not, secular […]
[Today’s guest post is by pro-life feminist Caitlin Fikes.] Recently there’s been a lot of media attention on a group of male college students who invented a nail polish that changes colors when it comes into contact with the most common date rape drug. Various media outlets have hailed the invention as an incredible breakthrough […]
[Editor’s note: Texas gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis recently disclosed that she had an abortion after her daughter was prenatally diagnosed with a neurological disorder. This post had already been written and the timing is a coincidence.] Last week, in 8 Things “After Tiller” Left Out, we made the point that although the film emphasizes cases […]

Above: the author’s son Noel, who died of natural causes in utero. [Today’s guest post by JoAnna Wahlund is part of our paid blogging program.] I recently saw the movie “The Giver” (and loved it, just as I’ve loved the book since childhood). It’s still fairly fresh in my mind, so perhaps that’s why I […]
