October Recap

Projects
Monica has continued her work promoting social media for Colorado’s Prop 115, which would put an end to the barbaric practice of killing viable pre-born children. If you live in Colorado or know people who do, make sure they remember to vote YES ON 115. Similarly, if you live in Lousiana, make sure to vote YES ON AMENDMENT #1: the Love Life Amendment.  It will ensure your state courts will never have the ability to “find” a right to abortion or taxpayer-funded abortion.

Monica is also starting to put together a comprehensive list of all the ways people can participate in pro-life work. If you are on Facebook, we encourage you to comment here with your thoughts and read about some of the suggestions we’ve already gathered for supporting sidewalk counselors and pregnancy resource centers, and advocating for adoption reform and legislative reform.

Monica also had a little too much fun getting into the spirit of the season with her Halloween pro-life memes (scroll to the end of this email to view a selection of them).

Kelsey was a featured speaker at the National Pro-Life Campaign Conference in Ireland, online of course.  Her talk can be seen here.

Terrisa rallied at the Department of Justice bringing attention to the fact that #PPSellsBabyparts and that the DOJ hasn’t prosecuted these crimes. She also rallied at the Supreme Court to support the confirmation of the first pro-life woman to the Court: Justice Amy Coney Barrett. 

Our polar opposite… but a good, civil conversation. See the pic on FB here.

• As the child of a low-income woman, I support the Hyde Amendment: Guest author Caitlin Gallagher explains her support for the Hyde Amendment, and how she personally benefited from its existence.
• Pro-choice policy is driven by wealthy elites. The poor are pro-life. Kelsey outlines data showing that, compared to people with higher incomes, people in lower income brackets are significantly more likely to (a) call themselves “pro-life” and (b) believe abortion should be illegal in most or all circumstances.
• When she got a prenatal Down syndrome diagnosis, her doctor wouldn’t stop suggesting abortion: Guest author Kim C. tells her story of how an abortion-minded doctor couldn’t seem to internalize that she wanted to protect her unborn daughter with Down syndrome. When Kim switched to a doctor who had a sister with Down syndrome, she received much better support for her pregnancy.

If you have something to say about abortion from a secular perspective, we want to hear it!  Guest posts help us cover a more diverse range of perspectives, topics, and experiences. If you have a piece you’d like to be considered for posting, please email us at info@secularprolife.org.
