[Today’s guest post is by pro-life Christian Feleica Langdon of Life Defenders.] Crisis pregnancies do not discriminate; people from all walks of life bear the weight of their uncertain circumstances. It can challenge the strongest of wills, and lead that vulnerable person to a decision they would have not have made otherwise. We want to […]
On Saturday, the New York Times published an article about the hypocrisy of “pro-life” Christian schools that incentivize abortion for pregnant students. Appropriately titled Pregnant at 18. Hailed by Abortion Foes. Punished By Christian School., the article begins: Maddi Runkles has never been a disciplinary problem. She has a 4.0 average at Heritage Academy, the small […]
The Connecticut State Capitol The following written testimony was submitted by Secular Pro-Life president Kelsey Hazzard in opposition to Connecticut Senate Bill 939. The Public Health Committee is holding a public hearing this morning. Dear Members of the Public Health Committee, My name is Kelsey Hazzard. I am an attorney and an atheist. I am […]
I’m a few months late to this poll—which was conducted from December 12 through 16 of last year—but better late than never. There are a few reasons that this particular poll is worth discussing. First, it was conducted by Marist College, which has an A grade from FiveThirtyEight (indicating low bias). Second, it asked about […]
Abortion reporting is always a few years behind; the best data we have is from 2011. In that year, the abortion rate in the United States hit a record low. As the pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute notes, abortion rates have fallen even in states that are traditionally hostile to the right to life. The plummeting demand […]
This weekend, I had the fantastic opportunity to once again join pro-life leaders from all over my state for the Californians For Life Summit 2016!

Focus on the Family is one of the most prominent religious right organizations in the United States. It is highly evangelical and has little in common with Secular Pro-Life. But I give credit where credit is due, and Focus on the Family has come up with a fantastic campaign: #iSEETWO. The concept is straightforward: “When […]
[Esta publicación está disponible en español aquí.] I’ve had a few Christian pro-life friends of mine (kindly) tell me they don’t really understand how a secularist can defend the pro-life position. Sure, they get that we don’t need religion to understand fetal development, and we don’t need to believe in a god to recognize that […]
