Planned Parenthood recently released this political ad: The bolded lines below are a transcription of the ad and the unbolded text are my first thoughts. Can I be blatantly honest? My life is at stake in this next election. Yeah, lots of lives are at stake in that next election. Pro-lifers think about that a […]

About a week ago we asked our followers what experiences they’ve had with pregnancy resource centers. You can read all the responses here, but below are some key selections. Those who have volunteered or worked for a center: Sarah I: I volunteer for one. I usually do whatever task they need me to do. One […]
If you’re into a lot of graphs and number crunching, read on. If you’re not, here’s the bottom line: compared to pro-life states, pro-choice states have more insurance coverage of contraception yet have roughly the same rates of unintended pregnancies and much higher rates of abortion. In early 2015 the Washington Post published the article […]
[Update December 2021 – We have recreated and added to the below list here: https://secularprolife.org/pregnancy-rates/] Pro-life laws decrease abortion in two ways.

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 […]
Pro-choice activists mock the most socially unpalatable aspects of the pro-life position. Broadly speaking, pro-lifers believe human life is morally relevant when the human organism begins: as a zygote. This means we oppose killing not only fetuses, but also embryos and zygotes.
