Last week, Slate‘s parenting advice column featured a heartbreaking letter from a woman who had an abortion at the insistence of her boyfriend, only to see the relationship fall apart. My partner and I have been together for 2.5 years. We have built a very strong, loving, and committed relationship. My almost 5-year-old daughter has […]
The pro-life group Live Action has released a series of videos documenting cases where Planned Parenthood failed to report statutory rape and sent underage girls home with their abusers. In every state, a young teen who has sex with an adult is considered a victim of statutory rape and sexual exploitation. Some of these are […]
You may have read that last week, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear a challenge to a law regulating chemical abortion in Arkansas. The law requires chemical abortion vendors to partner with doctors who have hospital admitting privileges.

The Atlantic recently hired, and then promptly fired, conservative columnist Kevin Williamson due to outrage over his position that abortion should not only be illegal, but a capital offense.

[Today’s guest post by Adam Peters is part of our paid blogging program.] The Supreme Court said there’s a right to abortion. However, it also said there’s a right not to have one, and that right applies to minors. Unfortunately, this is something many won’t accept: mothers often feel pressured to abort, and can face […]

Wade made abortion legal in every state in the U.S., over 55 […]
A Chinese mother recovers from surgery with her forcibly aborted baby by her side. Today marks the 35th anniversary of China’s infamous one-child policy. It is difficult for me, as an American, to wrap my head around the scale of this human rights disaster. Indeed, it’s sometimes painful for me to look the abortion crisis […]
Graphic via UnChoice April 12-19 is coerced abortion awareness week. At Secular Pro-Life, we recognize the harm that coerced abortion causes both to women and their preborn children.
