Once upon a time, pretty much all that Secular Pro-Life did was create religiously neutral brochures for other pro-life groups to use. SPL’s founders were campus activists at the time and we saw a desperate need for handouts without Bible verses on them. Times have changed—we’ve gotten older, and Secular Pro-Life has extended its reach […]
Protestor’s sign reads “Choice is the American Way” Raise your hand if you’ve heard this argument in favor of Roe v. Wade: If a government can force women to gestate, it can also force them to abort. There’s some pathos here. It’s a nice, balanced sentence that sounds good to the ear. But strip the pathos […]

Four months from now—in late January—I know exactly where I’ll be. Via Wikimedia Commons, actually. I don’t know who took this photo. Like I said: people notice! I’ll be on a plane to Washington, D.C. to carry the bright blue, massive, you-can’t-miss-it banner in the March for Life. Then I’ll be at the Students for Life […]
