SecularProLife.org president Kelsey Hazzard visited Carnegie Mellon University last Friday. She was hosted by the Life Matters club. Kelsey’s speech, and some Q & A with a respectful pro-choice student, below:
Twice a year, for a total of 80 days, the sidewalk counseling scene changes. Today was, I believe, the 13th day of 40 Days for Life. It’s interesting how one organization can have such an impact. Sidewalk counselors, in my experience, have a hard time covering all of a clinic’s operating hours. Here in Tuscaloosa, […]

Domestic News: In Montgomery County, Maryland, a Judge struck down laws targeting crisis pregnancy centers. The law required crisis pregnancy centers to post that they do not have a medical person on-staff. Planned Parenthood locations are not bound by that same requirement.

The most recent of these was Live Action’s Traffick investigation. A few weeks after those videos were recorded, but before they were released, Planned Parenthood realized what was going on and […]

Here are some tidbits from over the break: BryanKemper.com, a youth-focused Christian pro-life blog, was hacked. Over a year’s worth of content was deleted. They’re working on recovering the posts, but may […]
Domestic News: Pro-life legislators in Minnesota are hoping to establish a ban on abortions after 20 weeks. Why? Much like similar legislation passed in Nebraska, after 20 weeks scientists are more certain that the unborn child can feel pain. In 2009, 1.5% of all abortions in Minnesota were performed after 20 weeks. In Washington, a […]

Yesterday, the Supreme Court announced its decision in Snyder v. Phelps. The case involved the Westboro Baptist Church (WBC), a small but extremely vocal congregation which believes that the deaths of American soldiers are God’s punishment for homosexuality. (WBC also has a problem with… well, just about everyone who’s not a member of WBC.) It […]
