Favorite pro-life atheist/secular resources?
What are your favorite atheist, or just secular, pro-life resources?
Web links are obviously easiest, but if there are books or journal articles or other offline resources you like, please feel free to list those as well. Also, feel free to tout your own sites; I plan to. :)

To start:
* Libertarians for Life has some very good material in its library, all secular
* The Atheist & Agnostic Pro-Life League
* In 2000, I debated Richard Carrier on abortion at the Secular Web. I would make some different arguments now, but I think it's still a decent resource.
* My blog: Turn the Clock Forward
* Feminist, Pro-Life, and Atheist by Kathryn Reed
* The Indivisible Fight for Life by Nat Hentoff

I've tried to contact The Atheist & Agnostic Pro-Life League via hotmail and they never replied.

Another site: Pro-Life Union for Secularity. This seems to be the new home of the site Simon JM pointed to.

Here is an article about our existence (haha) by Newsweek
http://www.newsweek.com/id/171240
An article giving an Atheist's account of his conversion from Pro-Choice to Pro-Life. His name is David Harsanyi. The article, includes some useful stats on the decline of Pro-Lifers towards Pro-Choice from 1995 t0 2006 (a major bummer). I intend to follow up the legitimacy of these stats sometime hopefully soon enough.

I found this piece by Judy Farris to contain strong arguments. I still need to follow up with a bio/background check on her, but this peice is great nevertheless.

I haven't pinpointed exact evidence of whether or not Heather Mac Donald, a writer for the Manhattan Institute, is Pro-Life, but this article and much of her work suggests she she is. She is very vocal in the public sphere on Atheist Conservative issues. I must find out.

Her Bio (There is an hour long Youtube video as well, which I will review to see if she mentions it there.)

Honestly, one of them could "rift" all she wants, and neither I nor my wife would be that upset. The other one is a big wimp. She's not likely to make a stink over it. She'll just pray harder. She's good at compartmentalizing that way.
It is true that many people take the path of religion to lead them out of destructive life styles.
It is also true that people can do the same thing without a reliance on faith (you just don't hear about it as much).
You sound like a very nice you…
I thought it was utterly brilliant that he said Abbot's offer of a billion dollars for Hobart hospital was immoral!

I've seen posts about the 50 commandments of jeebus put out by xtians that cite chapter and verse and you really don't need a commentary to go along with them.
Boy it sure does kill the whole GOP/Tea Party platform.
I'm telling Miss Julie! . . (Sombody wants a spanking!!).
Seems like you could be in danger of getting more than just your tongue stuck, to a dancing pole at the north pole . . .
Just be carefull... I had a similar discussion with my sisnlaw and it almost caused a big rift in my otherwise tightly nit family.
From the article Tommy cited.
"However, religious commentators have criticized Hawking's theorizing, saying he can never hope to explain what is essentially unexplainable."
Well doesn't that kind of invalidate their own "god" theory then? ;p
Anybody else read it? I love the basic premise, and being an atheist means I can appreciate the mythology and not get bent out of shape about the multiple deities.
Wyoming is better than the southeast, from what I've seen. It's still a solid red state, though. My big point was that there are no cities. The closest it has are Cheyenne and Casper, each of which are around 50,000 people.
The entire state barely…
I was in Panama City this past weekend, but I didn't have any free time. I was there for my brother-in-law's pinning. He was promoted to Major in the Air Force. The promotion ceremony was full of God and Jesus references, and the invocation was give…
I saw a video, or a blog post once that listed all the uncomfortable and illogical things that a person must do, according to Jesus' own words, in order to follow him. The list included hating your family, selling all your possessions, etc. I'm pret…
