I am pro-life, but I don’t pick the side lightly. It seems the only options are restricting a woman’s control over her body or allowing the unrestricted killing of […]
Secular Pro-Life president Kelsey Hazzard has written a book! Cultivating Weeds is the fictional story of an abortion doctor who secretly becomes pro-life and is recruited to help conduct a controversial, revolutionary medical study.

[Today’s post is part of a series by SPL member Clinton Wilcox. Read part one here.] Now that we’ve learned what goes into making an argument, let’s talk about how to respond to an argument. First, a bit about why philosophy is necessary. Philosophy is all around us. Why are you an Atheist/Christian/Buddhist/etc.? That can […]

Secular Pro-Life reached out to the next generation, speaking to pro-life student organizations at the University of San Francisco and UNC-Chapel Hill, the atheist and agnostic student organization at the University of Virginia, and young activists from across 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 […]
