Projects
Kelsey has been mentoring a younger pro-lifer through Students for Life of America. Monica has been soliciting and editing guest blog posts from scientists, attorneys, and philosophers. And on October 1, Terrisa launched the Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising (PAAU), a pro-life group for left-leaning people ready to eradicate abortion extremism from the Democratic party. PAAU has infuriated pro-abortion progressives, which suggests Terrisa has struck an important nerve. Learn more here and voice your support on Twitter and Facebook.
In the next few months, we are about to see two major challenges to Roe v. Wade:
- Today (November 1) the Supreme Court hears arguments related to the Texas Heartbeat Law (SB8) (see Kelsey’s legal explanation).
- On December 1 the Court hears arguments regarding Mississippi’s 15-week, pre-viability ban in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.
Many people (on both sides of this debate) expect Dobbs to dismantle or overturn Roe, which would be an historic event. On December 1, the Mississippi Attorney General’s office is organizing a pro-life rally in front of the Supreme Court, and we are going to be there. We want a strong pro-life presence to remind the nation that half of our country opposes abortion. We’re ready for Roe to go. Join us!

What You Can Do
There are plenty of ways to help with pro-life work. This month you could:
- Join in the #EmpowerWomenPromoteLife Dobbs rally in DC on December 1. If you can’t attend, consider donating travel money for other pro-lifers to attend. Also check whether there are local rallies regarding Dobbs, and join in support of the overturning of Roe v Wade.
- Write letters to the editors of local papers voicing your opposition to Roe, support for Dobbs, or any other current pro-life issue.
- Email Monica (monica@secularprolife.org) if you’re interested in summarizing, analyzing, or opining on abortion-related peer-reviewed research.
