Celebrate National Women’s Health Week

May 14 to 20 is National Women’s Health Week! So naturally, we are renewing our focus on the Fund Women’s Health campaign that Secular Pro-Life and several like-minded organizations launched last month. Fund Women’s Health is a pro-life feminist effort to raise money for community clinics that serve low-income women in need, without destroying human life in abortions.

We’ve made progress, but this week especially, we encourage you to give! Here’s where our beneficiaries stand, starting with those who are most in need of your support:
