The Defense of Human Life Act has passed North Dakota’s House of Representatives. The measure is written to ban abortion, but not contraception. There is only one abortion facility in North Dakota. Pro-life Christians are disgusted with Pastor Chuck Smith. On his radio show, Smith advised a woman to abort her conjoined twins. (He later […]
Weekly guest blogger Matthew Newman, who lives in Maryland, has been keeping tabs on this case for several months. The City of Baltimore enacted an ordinance requiring pro-life pregnancy centers and clinics to post signs stating that they do not perform abortions or provide birth control services. Pro-lifers had a number of issues with this […]
Today is NARAL’s “Blog for Choice” day. The pro-life response is to insist upon clarity. What do you mean by choice? Just as an experiment, I recorded all the choices that I made for a day. For someone who supposedly can’t stand women making their own choices, I made a ton: what to wear, what […]
Planned Parenthood claims to be there for Medium to Low income women. I can’t help but wondering why these women you have medicaid or regular health insurance wouldn’t just go the their primary care physicians or OB/GYN’s since most of them take medicaid and almost all insurances? Why Planned Parenthood? Why not your own doctor? […]
HLI America is a part of Human Life International, a Catholic group opposed to birth control. So when I saw that they had released a survey of 800 women regarding hormonal contraceptive use, I took it with a grain of salt. Their interpretation emphasizes the negative; the HLI America website gives it the title “The […]

Ferrer has come under fire due to the death of a woman during a botched abortion attempt. The Maryland Board of Physicians has already revoked his medical license and no one will be working at his facility […]
Warning: this post contains profanity and some other things that the easily disturbed probably shouldn’t read. If you aren’t familiar with Lamebook, it’s a repository of stupid, amusing, and lame Facebook posts. (If you aren’t familiar with Facebook, we have a problem.) On Thursday, Lamebook featured a series of semi-coherent posts by “Kasey,” who was […]
Back in July, Live Action wondered why Planned Parenthood’s 2008 annual report was delayed. It has now arrived, and the figures show that Planned Parenthood has focused more on abortions and less on its supposed core services. (The total number of abortions done in the United States is decreasing.) The new Planned Parenthood figures show […]
As some of you know, in addition to serving as the president of SecularProLife.org, I go to law school (because doing just one or the other wouldn’t be nearly stressful enough). I’m currently taking a course called Law of Reproduction. It requires a 25-page paper, and I haven’t chosen a topic. My current idea is […]
Editor’s note: As part of our new Secular Sidewalk program, Monday blog posts will be written by sidewalk counselors. This week, our guest blogger is Heather, an atheist from Virginia. It’s about 6:00 am, on a Saturday morning. I am packed with my lawn chair, pro-life literature, a diaper bag with everything from baby stuff […]
