This Wednesday, October 18, Students for Life Action is organizing the “Expose Late-Term Abortion Day of Action” in 23 locations nationwide. Although the abortion industry likes to pretend that late-term abortions are rare, or even completely made up, the truth is that Centers for Disease Control records tens of thousands of second- and third-trimester abortions […]
Religious. Fundamentalist. Republican. This stereotype is how many people imagine pro-lifers. Monica Snyder, Executive Director of Secular Pro-Life, busts that stereotype in a two-part interview with “Know Why” Podcast. In this episode, Monica talks about Secular Pro-Life and uses her background in biology to discuss the beginning of human life and personhood. Ready for shattered […]
We asked our followers on social media: “For those of you who used to be pro-choice, what advice do you have on how to talk to pro-choice people about abortion? What did you find persuasive or off-putting when you were still pro-choice?” Here are a few of the top responses (lightly edited for clarity). Nelson […]
Dr. Diana Greene Foster (pictured), the lead researcher for the Turnaway Study, has bee selected to receive a 2023 MacArthur Fellowship, along with a no-strings-attached $800,000 “Genius Grant” awarded to people who have “shown extraordinary creativity and dedication in their fields.” The Turnaway Study is a famous (or infamous) body of work comparing and contrasting […]
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is seeking public comment on proposed rules to implement the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act. Unfortunately, the proposed rule encompasses abortion — contrary to the intent of the pro-life members of Congress who sponsored and voted for the PWFA in good faith.

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.)

As atheists become more prominent in the pro-life movement generally, we’re excited for the opportunity […]
Today’s guest article is by Hannah Langdon. Hannah is a recent college graduate working in pro-life grassroots efforts in Cincinnati. This Election Day, Ohio voters are asked to choose between life and death. Pro-abortion groups are trying to pass an amendment to Ohio’s constitution that would prohibit any burdens on “reproductive rights.” The amendment (Issue […]
Quick summary: Ohio’s Issue 1 would enshrine abortion into the Ohio state constitution. The most crucial volunteers fighting this are those helping with phone banks (which you can do no matter where you live) and those helping with door knocking/canvassing (which you can do if you live in or are able to travel to Ohio). […]
We asked our followers on social media: “Question from a commenter specifically for atheists & agnostics (whether pro-life or pro-choice, doesn’t matter). IF you believe humans warrant more consideration/protection/resources/defense than other species, why?” Mind that IF; we know that the secular, pro-life, and animal rights movements sometimes overlap! But the attitude toward human exceptionalism among […]
We all heard the sky-is-falling takes after Dobbs was announced: Pregnant people won’t be able to access life-saving care! Women will be dying in the streets! Doctors will be jailed for trying to save their patients! If you’re happy about the Supreme Court’s decision, you’re a monster! Inconveniently for the abortion industry narrative, the assumption […]
