I’m taking a bit of a break from my critical series on Thomson’s famous essay, A Defense of Abortion, to present an article that was inspired from a conversation I had with my friend, Linda, on Facebook. I am a speaker and mentor for Justice for All, which is an organization that trains people to […]
Last week’s piece on terms that pro-lifers should avoid got a great response. Many of you had suggestions for additional phrases that we should remove from our vocabulary. Others had comments on the original three. Secular Pro-Life member Sarah Terzo kicked things off with a suggestion so clearly right, I’m embarrassed that I didn’t include […]
In the first post, I introduced the theme that pro-choice journalists are unconsciously avoiding directly covering the Gosnell case because it would cause cognitive dissonance and provided the first example: the Gosnell case would reveal just how liberal and out-of-touch the abortion status quo is in this country. In the second post I got to the […]
[Today’s post is by guest blogger Nathaniel, re-posted with permission from his blog, Difficult Run.] Less than a week after Kirsten Powers’ USA Today piece, the concerted pro-life effort to get the Gosnell trial the media attention it tragically deserves has succeeded. Sort of. There are a lot of articles being written about Gosnell, but […]
I believe that language plays a huge role in the abortion debate. And while the terms “pro-life” and “pro-choice” have been analyzed to death (no pun intended) by countless authors, there are many words and phrases, used in everyday life, that affect our cause in more subtle ways. Many are unwittingly used by pro-life advocates […]

This will be Secular Pro-Life’s fourth campus outreach this […]
You wouldn’t know it from the major network coverage, but abortionist Kermit Gosnell is currently facing trial for multiple counts of murder. Witnesses are giving horrifying testimony of Gosnell beheading live newborns. Kirsten Powers puts it better than I can in this USA Today piece: Infant beheadings. Severed baby feet in jars. A child […]
And Then There Were None’s “Exodus” campaign this Monday was a great success, with five people reaching out for help to leave the abortion industry! And speaking of ex-abortion workers, two former nurses have some illuminating things to say about Planned Parenthood in Delaware: Jayne Mitchell-Werbrich, former employee said, “It was just unsafe. I couldn’t […]
Our dear friends at the Life Matters Journal have just released their latest issue. The lead stories are on anti-war activism, and particularly the recent rise in prominence of opposition to drones. There are also several abortion-related stories: Feminists Choosing Life of New York breaks down Governor Cuomo’s proposed abortion expansion legislation on page 6. […]
