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.)

You'll most likely find that men are being written as the joke-makers and women are being portrayed as the laughers.
And perhaps that is because the joke is at the expense of the male. It is more politically acceptable to make jokes about men. Ha...

Aurora pastor accused of child sex assault. In a surprising twist, the victim was female.
Another detail that seems to be overlooked is that the base in question has had a serious problem with suicide. The point being, that from some reason a lot of people on base are snapping. Most have done themselves in one went after others instead...
Remember when Florida and South Carolina decided that Christian themed license plates were a good idea? After all, what is a better medium to announce your beliefs (as long as they are Christian) than a license plate? Full Story
If the Atman is Brahman and the Universe is nothing but Brahman that would appear to be saying that everything is only Brahman, thus inferring that nothing exists except Brahman, IMO.

If all that is true you should be more considered with the Christians in the military. In terms of religious extremism there are more of them. Don't believe me check out Southern Poverty Law Center. They have tons of info on various extremist and ...
These statements (maha vakyas) no where deny the physical universe.
the only meta-physical assertion here is that the essence is the same ..not that the outside world is non-existent

But as someone in the Friendly Atheist forums pointed out, inappropriate listing or false information in this list could be used for libel charges. I think it would be fun to make a "Liberty Libel List."
Jean Marie,
You can genuinely give yourself a pat on the back for this posting. You have opened a lot of people's eyes to the "everybody knows" type of bullshit that passes for "wisdom" all too often.
Well done. Well done indeed! Now if we can al...
