Secular Pro-Life Movement Gains Support on College Campuses
It’s important to note that these students are not anti-religion or anti-Christian. It will be interesting to see if this movement continues to grow.

You don’t have to believe in God to be pro-life.
That’s the message Kelsey Hazzard, founder and president of Secular Pro-Life, has continually proclaimed at colleges across the nation since she founded the organization in 2009.
Although she grew up attending a Methodist church, Hazzard rejected religion toward the end of law school.
“It’s not that I have anything against Christian people or the church I grew up in,” Hazzard said in an interview with The College Fix. “I think there are plenty of good Christian people out there. I’m not a militant atheist; it just isn’t something I believe in.”
But religion or no, Hazzard has been pro-life ever since she knew what abortion was, and became active in pro-life groups while attending the University of Miami. It was there that she attended a March for Life, and was taken aback by how “Catholic” it was.
“There needs to be a place for pro-lifers who are atheist or agnostic,” Hazzard said.
Secular Pro-Life is a volunteer-run organization and a rallying point for those who sympathize with the pro-life cause for reasons other than religious conviction.
“You do not have to be religious to value human life,” the organization’s website states. “You do not have to be religious to see the humanity of the fetus.”

See, it’s not about the life. If it was, they wouldn’t waste money and time on setting up a new organization. It’s all about their rejection of God, then it’s about life. Whatever happened to making common cause with diverse people on a single issue?
Have you ever attended a crisis pregnancy center banquet as a non-believer? I am sure you have no idea what that feels like.
