We asked our followers on social media: You’re getting a drink with a newish friend. A politician in your state recently proposed a heartbeat bill, and your friend mentions it. He says “I can’t believe people think it’s a good idea to let the government interfere in our lives like this.” How do you respond? […]
Once a month or so, the Secular Pro-Life blog features a short interview with a pro-life atheist. (See the full series of interviews here.)

We asked our followers on social media: “It’s your lunch break and you’re the only one in the break room when a coworker joins you. She starts telling you how she had a fight with her mom last night about abortion. She says ‘To be an anti-choice woman? You’d really have to hate yourself.’ How […]
Image credit: Stormseeker on Unsplash. “If you struggled so much with postpartum anxiety, then you of all people should support abortion.” This was a recent encounter with a pro-choice friend.
