Secular Pro-Life supporter Benjamin K. asks: “I’m having some pushback on my public claims that the majority of pro-choice people support at least some restrictions. Am I misinterpreting polls that say the majority of Americans support at least some restrictions?” Great question, Ben! You are correct, and the polling is very consistent. Limitless abortion has […]
Secular Pro-Life supporter Shannon Jessup shares: I am so grateful for Secular Pro-Life and for the clarity and simplicity of the pro-life position expressed here. I was in Detroit yesterday morning, and was engaged by a woman collecting votes for proposal 3. She spoke with my husband for a minute, but we’re from Maryland. I […]
Telemedicine abortion—often by phone—is on the rise During the COVID-19 pandemic, a minority of counties allowed abortion providers to send abortion pills (usually mifepristone and misoprostol) to women by mail after a remote video or phone consultation, with no in-person contact throughout the process, Calum Miller points out in Chapter 16 of Agency, Pregnancy, and […]

As atheists become more prominent in the pro-life movement generally, we’re excited for the opportunity to […]
Kelsey Hazzard, the founder and president of Secular Pro-Life, also happens to be a lawyer. For the Rehumanize International conference earlier this month, she offered her legal analysis of lawsuits that challenge abortion restrictions on “religious liberty” grounds. The video and transcript are below. The short version (spoiler alert): A religious liberty claim does not […]
On October 19, Guardian Senior Staff writer Poppy Noor published “What a pregnancy actually looks like before 10 weeks – in pictures.” The article reprints photographs from the MYA Network (“MY Abortion” network) of aborted pregnancy tissue and quotes an abortion provider of the same network, Dr. Joan Fleischman. Given the title and the framing […]
After Dobbs overturned Roe v. Wade, many people wondered whether the March for Life would continue. After all, the March was founded as an annual protest of Roe.
