First, some Republican whackjobbery. Rep. Paul Broun of Georgia is in the news for his comment that “evolution and embryology and the Big Bang theory, all that is lies straight from the pit of Hell.” (In part, the newsworthiness of this comment comes from the fact that Broun is on the House Science Committee.) Most […]
Last week’s video release was a great success! The moving pro-life story of Krista and Tatiana Hogan has been viewed thousands of times on YouTube and featured in major pro-life media outlets. Above: Secular Pro-Life volunteers educate attendees at the American Atheists convention We need your help to keep the momentum going. Later this month, our outreach coordinator will […]
[Today’s post is reprinted from Poletical.] “In fact, almost 80% of Canadians think our law already recognizes the rights of children after the second trimester. They are unaware that our 400 year old definition of human beings actually strips away such rights. When informed, over 70% of Canadians say they believe our law should recognize […]
John Gurdon and Shinya Yamanaka received the Nobel Prize in Medicine for their pioneering work in adult stem cell research, the Washington Post reports. Yamanaka was instrumental in the development of induced pluripotent stem cells (IPSC), which act like embryonic stem cells but are created without killing an embryo. His work built upon animal cloning […]
Washington, D.C.—In a video released today by Secular Pro-Life, the mother of conjoined twins challenges the idea that “you don’t have the right to life unless you can live independently of someone else’s body.” Tatiana and Krista Hogan, age five, are conjoined at the head. Because they share brain tissue, and because Krista is partially […]
On October 20, Secular Pro-Life outreach coordinator Kristine Kruszelnicki will participate in an abortion debate with pro-choicer Matt Dillahunty of The Atheist Experience. Both Kruszelnicki and Dillahunty are atheist ex-Christians. Their debate will take place at the Texas Freethought Convention in Austin, TX. Tickets to the convention are still available. We are very excited for […]
Welcome to Canada. We’re a land of freedom and democracy. Unless you want to discuss the question of when human life begins. We don’t debate abortion. Oh it’s not that we’re all agreed on abortion. Depending on the polls and the phraseology of the questions, a significant percent of the population disagrees with status-quo – […]
Senators Jean Shaheen (pro-choice D-NH) and Bob Casey (pro-life D-PA) have introduced a bill, the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, to improve conditions for pregnant mothers in the workplace. The Act stands little chance of passage due to opposition from anti-business-regulation conservatives in the House. Pro-lifers are understandably skeptical of President Obama’s newfound interest in stopping […]
The Democratic Convention was heavy on pro-abortion messaging, to put it mildly. Pro-life Democrats attempted to moderate the party platform and push a “big tent” strategy on abortion, but were rejected at every turn. In light of that disappointing experience, various commentators have wondered where, if anywhere, pro-life Democrats can go from here. Kristen Day, […]
Last week, I went to a CVS MinuteClinic to have a funny-looking mole checked out. MinuteClinics are staffed by nurse practitioners and physician’s assistants, rather than doctors, which makes them a relatively inexpensive way for patients to take care of minor health issues like a cold or pink eye. Unfortunately for me, the nurse practitioner […]
