President-elect Trump has narrowed his short list to replace the late Justice Scalia on the Supreme Court. Politico reports that there are now eight serious contenders. Judge William Pryor of the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals has made no secret of the fact that he opposes Roe v. Wade, both for its shoddy legal reasoning […]
In some ways, nothing has changed. Regardless of who is in office, all pro-life people have an obligation to advocate for policies that will reduce abortion. Priorities will include confirming a pro-life replacement for Justice Scalia, and preserving the Hyde Amendment (which has saved the lives of over two million Americans) against attacks from the […]
Secular Pro-Life president Kelsey Hazzard here. Last week, as many of you know, I participated in a friendly debate with fellow pro-life activist Lauren Muzyka. The debate was hosted by Students for Life of America. I took the #NeverTrump position, arguing that a Trump presidency would hurt the pro-life cause more than it helps. Lauren […]
The petition site Care2 is currently home to the baldest pro-abortion lie I have seen in quite a while, and that’s saying something. The petition demands that Congress “pass [a] Zika funding bill without defunding Planned Parenthood.” The Zika virus is transmitted through mosquitoes, and is also sexually transmitted. Pregnant women and unborn children are […]
Democratic Senator and vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine has a 100% rating from NARAL and Planned Parenthood. That tells us everything we need to know. But for the sake of discourse, let’s examine some of Kaine’s statements on abortion: I have a traditional Catholic personal position, but I am very strongly supportive that women should […]
Kristan Hawkins Today in New York City, Donald Trump will meet with leaders from select pro-life organizations, among them Students for Life of America (SFLA). SFLA president Kristan Hawkins has this to say: I know many feel conflicted (myself included) right now about the upcoming election, but we all agree that this November could change […]
We don’t often get explicitly political at Secular Pro-Life. Our membership includes conservatives, liberals, moderates, and libertarians. We are Democrats, Republicans, independents, and members of third parties. Secular Pro-Life doesn’t endorse candidates. We occasionally report on elections and debate the virtues of single-issue voting, but that’s about as far as it goes. But with Trump […]
If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. The House of Representatives has voted numerous times to redirect Planned Parenthood’s taxpayer funding to more deserving healthcare providers. You know, ones that don’t defraud Medicaid, cover up statutory rape, or sell baby parts. What a concept. Unfortunately, all of those efforts have fallen flat […]
Two years ago, Todd Akin kamikaze’d his career during an interview in which he said, “First of all, from what I understand from doctors, [pregnancy from rape] is really rare. If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.” Akin apologized for the comment, but it […]
[Today’s guest post by Rachel Enders is part of our paid blogging program. Get more thoughts from Rachel at her Pro-Life For All tumblr. She also blogs about sexual health at Birds, Bees, and Other Things, which is not remotely safe for work.] The past year or so has been very exciting for pro-life activists. In Texas, […]
