The Department of Defense authorization bill, which contained both taxpayer funding of abortion (the Burris Amendment) and the repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, has failed to pass. Now, a standalone piece of legislation has been introduced to repeal Don’t Ask Don’t Tell. By divorcing it from the abortion issue, LGBT advocates may be able […]
H.R. 5953 is a proposed piece of legislation designed to help meet the needs of women who have served the United States in the military by posting “Women Veterans Bill of Rights” signs in Veterans Affairs offices. It includes a provision that will hopefully improve female veterans’ awareness of their ability to access health care. […]
Editor’s Note: Today’s post is written by SecularProLife.org member Nick Neal. Thanks, Nick! If you are interested in being a guest blogger, email info@secularprolife.org.On November 2, 2010 pro-lifers (including me) were partying like it was 1994.

People happily acknowledge that graphic images can bring home the truth and save lives, as long as the context isn’t abortion! The federal government has proposed requiring cigarette manufacturers to include graphic photographs of cancer-striken people and organs on their packaging. From the Washington Post: The proposed warnings include one containing an image of man […]
There’s really only one story today: the election! If you’re eligible to vote and haven’t voted yet, today is your last chance.

I just want to take a moment to note […]
For the record, I do not belong to any political party. I’m generally supportive of pro-life candidates, of course, but many politicians cross party lines on abortion. That’s why I’m happy to see that the Susan B. Anthony List, one of the most politically powerful pro-life groups around, has set its sights on the GOP. […]
Thanks for bearing with the lack of blog posts for the last few days. I had a good reason: I was at orientation for the Students for Life Wilberforce Fellowship, which is a year-long leadership program. I learned a few things that you might find interesting. David Bereit of 40 Days for Life was there, […]
Thanks for bearing with me. A lot has happened in my absence. Two highlights out of Congress: First, the DISCLOSE Act was defeated. The DISCLOSE Act was written in response to a recent Supreme Court decision holding that certain campaign finance reform laws unconstitutionally limited corporate speech. Pro-life groups opposed the DISCLOSE Act because its […]
Pro-life leaders are not happy about a recent statement by Indiana governor Mitch Daniels, who is widely considered to be on the short list for the GOP presidential candidacy in 2012. The statement was made in an interview that the Weekly Standard published on Tuesday: Daniels told the conservative publication the next president “would have […]
