Wonderful exploration by Kathryn Reed: I decided when I was thirteen that I was both an atheist and prolife. I became an atheist because I had no belief in a spiritual reality. I became prolife because my biology class taught a section about the development of the human embryo and fetus. I saw a human […]
[Today’s post is written by guest blogger KB.] Let’s set the record straight. Pro-Choicers: When talking about abortion, the vast majority of pro-lifers do not hate women. They do not think women should be subservient to men, should have no life outside of childrearing and most don’t even believe the government should stand in the way of women […]
[Today’s post is written by Delroy Dyer, a pro-life atheist at Carleton University in Ottawa.

As time goes on, you’re supposed to be changing for the better. You’re older, and supposed to be […]
This past weekend was both the Reason Rally and the American Atheists Convention. SPL spends a lot of time advocating for secularism in the pro-life movement; last weekend was a great opportunity to advocate for pro-life positions in the secular movement. SPL arranged to have a table at the convention in the hopes of reaching […]
This is Kelsey speaking. I want to address some comments about my personal religious beliefs, or lack thereof. I haven’t talked much about this publicly, since it’s my position that we should evaluate abortion arguments on their own merits, rather than on the personal characteristics of whoever’s making the argument. But since this has become […]
Kristine: A comment on yesterday’s blog pointed out that “being an atheist does not automatically make one open minded.” In my experience at the rally and atheist convention I would agree wholeheartedly with that statement. Despite the many great and reasoned conversations that we had, there were sadly some who simply refused to form a reasoned argument. It’s […]
[Today’s post is by Kelsey and Kristine!] Kristine: Being a pro-lifer at an atheist event is a little like walking around with three heads. On the one hand, the moment I arrived at the Reason Rally I felt myself at home with those who think as little of religion as I currently do. And yet […]
[Today’s post was written by SPL member Patrick Ptomey for Bryan Kemper’s blog. It’s since been picked up by LifeSiteNews, of all places. We’re reprinting it too. Enjoy!] It can be said without argument that all who are against abortion have at least one thing in common. Be that as it may, the process in […]
1) You may have heard by now that criminal charges against a Planned Parenthood affiliate in Kansas were dropped after key evidence was lost to “routine” document destruction. Needless to say, pro-life advocates who are familiar with the case believe that this was anything but routine. Operation Rescue outlines everything you need to know in […]
Live Action shares this interesting chart, showing the percentage of unplanned pregnancies ending in abortion by the mother’s religious affiliation:What do these figures tell us? Unplanned children of evangelicals have the best odds of survival, and evangelicals certainly have a reputation for being pro-life. But 32% is still much too high. I was surprised to […]
