Last night Ohioans voted for Issue 1, which enshrines the right to abortion in their state constitution. This is a major loss for the pro-life side, not least of all because it comes as part of a series of state ballot initiative defeats since Dobbs (after California, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Montana, and Vermont). And there […]
For years, Facebook has been an ideal platform for charitable giving. It was easy to set up a recurring monthly donation, and Facebook even covered the processing fees. For many of our supporters, it was a simple “set it and forget it.” But Facebook has announced that those days are over. As of Oct. 31st, they […]
Once a month or so, the Secular Pro-Life blog features a short interview with a pro-life atheist. (See the full series of interviews here.) Although Secular Pro-Life is not exclusively for atheists, historically atheists have played a key role in the organization. As atheists become more prominent in the pro-life movement generally, we’re excited for the opportunity […]
Secular Pro-Life is run by atheists. We bring it up not because we care if people agree with our (lack of) religious views, but because we want people to understand you don’t have to be religious to be pro-life. In fact, we like to emphasize that we do not care what your religious beliefs are; […]

While newspapers all over Ohio are covering the November ballot […]
We posed this question to our followers on social media: You’re hanging out with a pro-choice friend who doesn’t know you’re pro-life. She says “I can’t believe these attacks on reproductive rights. My daughters are going to have fewer rights than I had.” How do you respond? Here are a few of the top responses, […]
Children with a prenatal diagnoses of disabilities are disproportionately killed by an abortion. When Kim C. and her husband Darrin became pregnant with a daughter with Down Syndrome, they initially faced a negative response from their doctor. As Kim explained, “When I got our diagnosis, I immediately felt unqualified and feared I would be a […]

This is the case not only in countries where abortion is illegal, but also in those where the practice is legal but the healthcare system either can not or does not want to provide accurate […]
I was moved by this Twitter thread from Nina Tame. I’m reprinting it here for your consideration. There is no room in the medical model for any neutrality around disability. It’s always a devastating tragedy. I’m an adult with Spina Bifida, a birth “defect.” I’m a horror show of a worse case scenario because I’m […]
