“I’m here to listen, not to judge.” Interview with a young Catholic sidewalk counselor

June 29, 2020/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

Maria on the right. Signs read “I’m here to listen, not to judge” and “We bring hope, love, and support.” How did you get started sidewalk counseling? What draws you to the sidewalk compared to other types of pro-life work? I got started with sidewalk advocacy when I joined my pro-life student group in college: […]

The unlikely story of the pro-life author of “Reconsidering Fetal Pain”

June 26, 2020/1 Comment/in Uncategorized, Your Stories /by Monica Snyder

[This post is a transcription of a story I told verbally.] Okay so I want to share this amazing story. First the background. In the abortion debate there’s controversy over the fetal pain issue. For a long time the prevailing scientific wisdom (though not a consensus) was that fetuses probably couldn’t feel pain before 24 […]

Interview with a post-abortive sidewalk counselor: love, not shame, is the key

June 24, 2020/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

Interviewer’s note: study after study confirm many women choose abortion because they feel they don’t have the resources to care for a child. Sidewalk counselors work to connect these women to resources in their communities. This work transforms—and literally saves—lives. People who aren’t involved in the pro-life movement (and even some within it) tend to believe that those who stand […]

A Supreme Court abortion decision is expected any day. Here’s what you need to know.

June 22, 2020/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

The U.S. Supreme Court traditionally releases its major opinions in the month of June. We have already seen blockbuster rulings on LGBT employment discrimination and DACA. Next up: June Medical Services v. Russo, which will determine the fate of a Louisiana law requiring abortionists to have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of […]

Interview with a secular sidewalk counselor

June 15, 2020/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

Interviewer’s note: People who aren’t involved in the pro-life movement—and even some within it—tend to believe that those standing outside abortion clinics are there to shame and frighten women seeking abortion. Videos of street “preachers” screaming at everyone tend to be much more viral than depictions of people quietly holding signs offering resources. I’m interested […]

We Asked, You Answered: Conversations with Pro-Choice Friends

June 12, 2020/0 Comments/in Uncategorized, We Asked You Answered /by Kelsey Hazzard

We asked our social media followers: “Are you close to pro-choice people? Do you talk about abortion with them? If so, how does it go?” We were flooded with responses. Here’s a sampling. Colleen A.: A few. We don’t tend to get into a lot of direct discussion about it. But where I’ve had most success […]

The pro-choice view survives on widespread ignorance of biology

June 8, 2020/0 Comments/in Biology /by Monica Snyder

 [Esta publicación está disponible en español aquí.] Through Secular Pro-life I frequently post content about how the human zygote is the first stage of a human being’s life cycle. Often when I point this fact out, people will suggest I’m strawmanning the pro-choice view. They assert that no one really denies the basic biology; the […]
