A disturbing Sun Sentinel article has been making the rounds this week: Fifteen obstetrics-gynecology practices out of 105 polled by the Sun Sentinel said they have set weight cut-offs for new patients starting at 200 pounds or based on measures of obesity — and turn down women who are heavier. Some of the doctors said […]
The big story today is that, according to a California-based fringe religious group led by Harold Camping, May 21 is the apocalypse, which will kick off the end of the world.

President Obama nominated University of California law professor Goodwin Liu for a federal judgeship on the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (which has a reputation as a very liberal Circuit).

As you may know, Monday is Secular Sidewalk day on the blog, featuring two pro-life sidewalk counselors: Heather (an atheist) and Amelia (a Christian). […]
Yesterday, Mike Huckabee announced that he would not be running for the Republican presidential nomination. Huckabee was popular among many pro-life voters, particularly those with conservative Christian backgrounds. There are still plenty of other options, though, and pro-lifers have yet to unite around any one candidate. Secular Pro-Life is non-partisan and does not endorse candidates. […]
Thank you for your patience these past few weeks. Final exams are finally over (woohoo!) and the blog is back on schedule. Today, I’d like to share an excellent video from The Signal Hill, an organization based in Canada: Secular Pro-Life did a video with a similar concept last year, but I confess: Signal Hill […]
