Domestic News: On Tuesday in Alaska, stronger parental notification laws were enacted via voter referrendum. 55.5% of voters supported the measure which would require 48 hours notice to parents prior to performing an abortion. Earlier this week, we reported that Virginia‘s Attorney General wanted to treat abortion clinics under the law like any other facility […]
Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli has released a legal opinion encouraging the state to regulate abortion facilities to the extent that it currently regulates life-friendly surgical clinics and hospitals. Abortion advocacy groups are, predictably, opposed. Remember, kids: abortion is just like any other medical procedure… until people actually want to treat it that way. In […]
Former Marine Cesar Laurean has been convicted and sentenced to life in prison for the murder of Lance Cpl. Maria Lauterbach, who was 8 months pregnant at the time of her death. According to the Elliot Institute, homicide is the #1 cause of death for pregnant women in the United States. Many of these homicides […]
One of SecularProLife.org’s long-term goals is to change the media portrayal of pro-lifers. To that end, we occasionally profile articles that equate the pro-life position with religion, as well as articles which avoid this trap. Today’s article, “India, the Rent-a-Womb Capital of the World,” falls under the latter category. In it, Slate author Amana Fontanella-Khan […]
Thanks for bearing with the lack of blog posts for the last few days. I had a good reason: I was at orientation for the Students for Life Wilberforce Fellowship, which is a year-long leadership program. I learned a few things that you might find interesting.

Happy Thursday, All. My weekly news roundups will now take place on Thursdays here at Secular ProLife. So, on with the news! Domestic News: It’s official – in Nebraska, the Attorney General will not fight to defend the recent pro-life legislation requiring mental health screenings prior to abortions. That has not discouraged supporters too much […]
SuzyB reports that South Carolina has passed a law requiring abortion businesses to give their clients accurate information, and 24 hours to contemplate it, before an abortion. The new law requires that a woman considering an abortion be given a full day to review materials objectively explaining what an abortion is and how to determine […]
A variety of surveys show that women are much more likely to be pro-life than pro-abortion “women’s groups” would have you believe. For instance, Gallup’s most recent report states that men and women are about equally likely to call themselves pro-life. As encouraging as these surveys are, one might legitimately worry about what “pro-life” means […]
Remember the “Healthy, Happy, and Hot” controversy earlier this year? Let me refresh your memory: a group of Girl Scouts were attending a United Nations event. The parents were kicked out of the room and, without any parental permission, the girls received a Planned Parenthood booklet called “Healthy, Happy, and Hot.” It’s still on the […]
We’re putting together an online store to raise money. What items would you like to see? Check out “What can we learn from the polls?” by SecularProLife.org member Nulono. New York, the abortion capital of America, also has some of the nation’s strictest laws protecting housecats. I’m a cat lover, but come on: priorities, anyone?
