I recently discovered an awesome website called Spurious Correlations. It uses hilarious graphs to illustrate the long-understood but frequently ignored truth that correlation is not causation. “Number of people who died by becoming tangled in their bedsheets” and “Total revenue generated by skiing facilities (US).” Clearly the ski resort industry has blood on its hands. […]
Numerous pro-life groups commented on Maya Angelou’s passing last week. Most emphasized her courage in rejecting abortion when she became pregnant at the age of 16. But the Radiance Foundation pointed out that Angelou did not speak out for other children to have the same chance at life. In fact, she fundraised for Planned Parenthood, the […]
You are not alone (urxalone) is a wonderful campaign in support of post-abortive women. It’s been going on for the past month or so, and it ends tomorrow. So make sure you participate! 1) Go to urxalone.com. 2) Sign the open letter to people who are struggling with a past abortion. 2) Submit a photo […]
Although it’s always been a minor theme in pro-abortion advocacy, abortion “access” has been front and center lately, particularly when it comes to state requirements that abortionists have admitting privileges at local hospitals. The goal of this legislation is to stop the practice of (literal) fly-by-night abortionists, who come into town for abortions, fly back […]
On the right is me, Kelsey Hazzard, the president of Secular Pro-Life. On the left is Monica Snyder, SPL’s West Coast Coordinator. For years, Monica has led the SPL contingent at the Walk for Life West Coast. Last year, she had the honor of addressing the entire Walk for Life crowd! But it’s more than […]
[Today’s guest post by Kris Skul is part of our paid blogging program.] We already know that religious arguments against abortion are ineffective at reaching a general audience—that’s why Secular Pro-Life exists. But not every secular defense is airtight, either. Many common pro-life arguments are readily refuted by abortion supporters, even if they make […]
Brat Fest is an annual festival that takes place in Madison, Wisconsin every year to raise money for charity. One of the speakers invited to this year’s festival was Bob Lenz. I do not know Bob Lenz, but apparently he’s a Christian who is involved in suicide prevention work. Good for him. Seems like an […]
[Today’s guest post by Chris Rostenberg is part of our paid blogging program.] In the United States, the courts treat abortion as a constitutional right through all nine months, for any reason, and that has been the law since 1973. It’s shocking how many defenders of the Supreme Court’s abortion decisions do not know this. […]
[Today’s article by Kelsey Hazzard was originally published earlier this week, in the latest issue of the Life Matters Journal. You should definitely read the whole thing. It has a recap of the Life/Peace/Justice conference, a piece by frequent SPL contributor Sarah Terzo, and much more. And it’s free!] The 40 film is a documentary […]
[Today’s guest post by Clinton Wilcox is part of our paid blogging program.] I have written several articles already giving a robust defense of what a person is. But now I’d like to talk about what I see as a key component to a person. My preferred definition of “person” comes from medieval philosopher Boethius, […]
