New Study Sheds Light on Prenatal Cognition

June 16, 2017/0 Comments/in Biology, Research /by Kelsey Hazzard

[Today’s guest post by Caitlin Fikes is part of Secular Pro-Life’s paid blogging program.] I believe that there is a common and insidious cultural misconception with regards to fetuses: the subtle idea that birth is the true beginning of a human’s life, not only because that is when he or she is first socially acknowledged […]

Dear Bill Nye: Where’s the science, guy?

September 26, 2015/0 Comments/in Biology /by Monica Snyder

NARAL Pro-Choice America posted a video featuring Bill Nye giving his views on abortion. Throughout the roughly four and a half minutes, Nye says pro-lifers have a “deep scientific lack of understanding” and hold positions “based on bad science.” He thinks we anti-abortion folk “apparently literally don’t know what you’re talking about” (as opposed to […]

Three-Parent Babies: A Pro-Life Ethical Analysis

March 2, 2015/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

[Today’s guest post by Victoria Godwin is part of our paid blogging program.] The UK Parliament voted early last month to allow for the creation of children using the biological DNA from three people, effectively becoming the first country to officially approve this technique. The aim of this technology is to allow parents with a […]

Contraception, abortion, and the importance of control groups.

August 25, 2014/38 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

Some pro-lifers point out that many women seeking abortion were using (or misusing) some type of contraception when they conceived. Sometimes pro-lifers cite this fact as evidence that contraception does not decrease, and may even increase, abortion. But this conclusion is misguided. It seems likely that women who don’t want to be pregnant are more […]

Todd Akin: Sorry He Was Sorry.

July 11, 2014/21 Comments/in Uncategorized /by LN

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 […]

Debating abortion with other secularists

March 17, 2014/351 Comments/in Biology /by Monica Snyder

Last week Pro-Life Humanists’ Kristine Kruszelnicki wrote a blog post featured on Hemant Mehta’s Friendly Atheist blog (“Yes, There Are Pro-Life Atheists Out There. Here’s Why I’m One of Them.”) I was pleased and impressed to see that Hemant posted the piece. In my experience working with Secular Pro-Life, pro-choice secularists tend to be very […]

The Rise of Pro-Life Atheism

October 11, 2012/18 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

[Today’s post is reprinted from Poletical.] “In fact, almost 80% of Canadians think our law already recognizes the rights of children after the second trimester. They are unaware that our 400 year old definition of human beings actually strips away such rights. When informed, over 70% of Canadians say they believe our law should recognize […]

Adult stem cell researchers awarded Nobel Prize

October 9, 2012/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

John Gurdon and Shinya Yamanaka received the Nobel Prize in Medicine for their pioneering work in adult stem cell research, the Washington Post reports. Yamanaka was instrumental in the development of induced pluripotent stem cells (IPSC), which act like embryonic stem cells but are created without killing an embryo.  His work built upon animal cloning […]

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 […]
