The Weekly Standard describes former abortion providers who have converted to the pro-life cause. I found this passage particularly compelling: In 2008, however, abortionist Lisa Harris endeavored to begin “breaking the silence” in the pages of the journal Reproductive Health Matters. When she herself was 18 weeks pregnant, Dr. Harris performed a D&E abortion on an […]
[Today’s post is the third and final article in a series on abortion and philosophy by SPL member Clinton Wilcox. Part one is here and part two is here.] Now we’ve seen what goes into an argument, and how to possibly respond to an argument. We’ve also seen some arguments that commit logical fallacies, that […]
Today is International Human Rights Day, and pro-life advocates across the globe are marking the occasion in various ways. Two LifeNews articles on human rights are worth your attention.

Like many D.C.-area commuters, I always grab a free copy of the Washington Examiner to read on the metro. Today’s cover story: For teen parents, day care free at area high schools. According to the article, seven area schools provide the service, which supporters say help prevent teen parents from becoming dropouts. Of course, the […]

National Adoption Month is about to come to a close. Earlier in November, we asked SPL members how adoption had touched their lives. Here’s what you had to say: “I gave my oldest child up in an open adoption. She’s now almost 14 and is a happy, healthy young woman. We just visited with her […]

It was originally posted at Millennial and is reprinted with permission.] A recent blog post at Secular Pro-Life addresses the question of whether or not the pro-life movement has the wrong allies.

“It’s not a Christian or a Jewish or a Muslim or a Buddhist issue… it’s common sense.” So says Gary Graham in the trailer (above) for Life Happens, a documentary focused on people who were at risk for abortion. The film’s description promises that director Ash Greyson “skillfully replaces rhetoric and religion with hope and heart.” […]
[Today’s post is by SPL member Clinton Wilcox.] Science can be a wonderful tool in the pro-life advocate’s arsenal. [1] However, science can’t dictate morality, it can only inform morality.
