A Politico headline caught my eye yesterday: “How Florida Uses a Little-Known Law to Punish Abortion Clinics.” I am a Floridian and pay above-average attention to abortion laws, but I had no idea what Politico could be talking about. What innovative, cutting-edge pro-life strategy had my state cooked up without me noticing? So I read […]
Bonner General Health (BGH), a hospital in Sandpoint, Idaho, has announced it is ending it’s labor and delivery services. You may have seen headlines like these: The Dobbs decision overturned Roe v. Wade, which had been around since 1973. That means legislatures across the country are grappling with changes to a decades-long legal status quo. […]
On this World Down Syndrome Day, we are going to focus on one of the most important legal battles ever led when it comes to the dignity of persons with Down syndrome. Heidi Crowter is a woman with Down syndrome who has been fighting for years to remove the section from the UK’s abortion law […]
I do not care about your sex life. As long as we’re talking about consenting adults, I don’t care who you have sex with or when or why. I hope everyone involved stays safe and healthy, but aside from those factors it’s not just that I don’t care. I’m actively uninterested. And yet, like many […]
There are several places in the United States where it is legal to abort a viable fetus for non-medical reasons. By this I mean it’s legal for a woman (1) who is 24 weeks pregnant or further (2) to undergo a procedure that has the intent and result of killing the fetus (3) when there […]
So much for “choice.” Pro-abortion legislators in Colorado have introduced SB23-190 which, if enacted, would subject doctors to professional discipline “if the health-care provider provides, prescribes, administers, or attempts medication abortion reversal.” I think pro-life advocates made a strategic mistake when they introduced “abortion pill reversal” (APR) as an amazing new technology. It is certainly […]
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.) Although Secular Pro-Life is not exclusively for atheists, historically atheists have played a key role in the organization. As atheists become more prominent in the pro-life movement generally, we’re excited for the […]
Pro-choice people accuse pro-lifers of insincerity and hypocrisy. Pro-lifers oppose abortion because we believe abortion kills morally valuable human beings. This is the core premise of the pro-life position. For many people, this central tenet inspires us to spend a lot of time, energy, and resources trying to change our culture and laws so that […]
After multiple pro-life protests and a warning letter from state Attorneys General, Walgreens has abandoned plans to sell chemical abortions in twenty states. The company wrote that it intends to comply “with all applicable laws and as a result would not be able to dispense Mifepristone in all locations.” The twenty states where Walgreens will […]
When discussing whether women regret abortion, I think people are using different meanings of the word “regret.” Some mean feeling remorse over an event or wishing it had gone differently. Others mean feeling sorrow or otherwise suffering. The ideas are similar but not identical. The distinction is important when we discuss whether women regret their […]
