IVF and Motivations

August 6, 2012/10 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

I have been active in the pro-life movement for about six years now.  My boyfriend is not quite as active as I am, but he does come with me to marches, and he is a good listener as I bounce ideas off of him for SPL blog posts or I talk about some recent piece […]

The Tiniest Patients

July 23, 2012/3 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

MSNBC covers the story of Addison Hope Kelly.  When Addison was a fetus around 6 months gestation, ultrasound revealed she had a tumor between her heart and lungs, making it unlikely that Addison would survive.  Addison’s parents chose fetal surgery, which would give Addison a 50/50 chance of survival.  Although the process caused Mary Kelly, Addison’s […]

It’s their fetus to tweak.

June 20, 2012/5 Comments/in Uncategorized /by LN

Once again, the topic of “justifiable reasons for abortion” is at the forefront of the abortion debate. Recently, the New York Times published an article hailing a breakthrough in genome sequencing of human fetuses using the parents’ DNA only. This method makes it easier for parents to detect genetic diseases prenatally. As the article points […]

Implantation vs Fertilization: When does pregnancy begin?

December 3, 2011/3 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich has come under fire for his comment that human life begins at implantation, not fertilization. As a scientific matter, he’s plainly wrong. Perhaps he’s been confused by a separate debate: when pregnancy begins. Much ink has been spilled on the definition of pregnancy. The debate has little or no practical […]

It’s National Fertility Awareness Month!

July 7, 2011/1 Comment/in Uncategorized /by Timmerie Millington

This is a wonderful guest post by Louisa Millington . . . While at the gym last week, it came to my attention that I had let June almost completely run its course without paying tribute to National Fertility Awareness Month.  I was shaken out of my blissful ignorance when I came across an episode […]

Embryonic Stem Cell Research, Thoughts?

April 19, 2011/2 Comments/in Uncategorized /by AmeliaLinne

Though we usually focus on abortion, today I’m writing about the Washington Post’s embryonic stem cell research article. Last September, Timothy Atchison received 2 million cells (a small amount) developed from human embryonic stem cells in the effort to reverse his paralysis. He damaged the oligodendrocytes (they insulate the nerves) around his T7 vertebra. They […]

Can technology end abortion?

December 14, 2010/14 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

Over the last few years, numerous scientific breakthroughs have shown that adult cells can be made to behave like embryonic stem cells. These “induced pluripotent stem cells” have great promise. Not only are they more ethical than embryonic stem cells, but since they can be derived from the same patient who needs treatment, they don’t […]

Legal Matters

August 25, 2010/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

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 […]

Thumbs up to Amana Fontanella-Khan

August 23, 2010/3 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

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 […]

Correction to last post

July 5, 2010/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

Nulono points me to this article, which basically says that Dr. New’s statements have been taken out of context and that her efforts are actually meant to treat a serious medical condition. Without knowing the relationship between Dr. Maria New and Dr. Alice Dreger (who first voiced her concern about New’s work in Bioethics Forum), […]
