[Today’s post by Rebecca Downs is part of our paid blogging program.] Texas Governor Rick Perry just signed the state’s pro-life omnibus bill into law last week. In his statements he said he’d “like to thank everyone involved in making today’s signing a possibility, including… everyone who stood for life throughout this process.” The pro-lifers […]
There are basically two types of rights that you possess: those of a human being and those of a particular government(s) you belong to. These are called natural rights (or basic human rights) and legal rights. Discussion of rights often gets confused in discussions on abortion so it’s important to keep these terms straight. A […]
“What on earth does this mean?” you wonder. Well read on. I find pro-choicers and pro-lifers often talk past each other because they seem to take for granted certain assumptions the other side doesn’t share. In order to improve communication, I sometimes tell pro-choicers that if they want to understand how pro-lifers view abortion, just replace […]

For those of you who don’t know, the Duggars are famous for their much-larger-than-average family size. Josh Duggar is one of the 19 children of Jim […]
A couple days ago, The Huffington Post published an article titled, “California Teen Pregnancy Rates Drop 60 Percent Thanks To Sex Education.” But wait! You think, after carefully reading the article. HuffPo is talking about teen birth rates, not teen pregnancy rates. Those aren’t the same thing. Too true, dear reader, too true. And that’s […]

Secular Pro-Life has no official position on the display of graphic images and welcomes debate on the issue.] One of the strategies that I personally believe has divided the pro-life community more than any other is the debate over the use of graphic […]
When I first heard that Rhode Island Governor Lincoln Chafee cited church-state separation when vetoing a bill for Choose Life license plates, I rolled my eyes. Great, I thought, another politician who thinks “pro-life” and “religious” are synonyms. But when I looked into it further, I changed my mind. Part of my confusion stemmed from the […]
There will be no blog post today. Instead, we have a new graphic for you. See it. Like it. Share it.
According to the Washington Times, there was a couple planning to abort their child diagnosed with Down syndrome. A priest made a deal with the couple–if he could find a good home for the baby before their state’s deadline for late-term abortions, the couple would not abort. The priest’s church reached out through Facebook for […]
[Today’s guest post is by Irish SPL member Evelyn Fennelly.] For the first time in its history, Ireland passed a bill legalising abortion in the early hours of Friday morning. The Protection of Human Life in Pregnancy Bill contains provisions for termination of pregnancy where there is a physical threat to life of the mother and legalises abortion […]
