November Recap

Projects
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!  In November Kelsey virtually presented the “Secular Case Against Abortion” to students at the Ave Maria School of Law and the University of Georgia. Continuing her role as a mentor to pro-life high school students, Kelsey also advised a recent meeting of the Students for Life of America Stevens Fellows.

Terrisa has been running social media for the campaign against New Jersey’s S3030. This awful bill would do to New Jersey what has already been done to New York, expanding abortion in the state to until birth, threatening fully viable babies with poisoning or dismemberment for even the most flimsy of medical reasons. If you live in New Jersey, be sure to contact your state representative and senator and tell them to reject S3030.  

Terrisa also was featured in an article by Ireland-based The Minimise Project on her secular journey to the pro-life view.  

Oh, yes, and Terrisa got arrested while protesting fetal organ harvesting at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital.

Just a normal day.

  “Did you know I had a tail?”

• California University Maintained Eugenics Fund for Abortion, Prenatal Screening: Abortion and eugenics go hand in hand, but few realized the University of California Berkeley had a donor fund dedicated to propping up this racist, ableist, and discredited policy.  UC Berkeley is saying the funding wasn’t used for eugenic research, but money has been utilized and UC Berkeley isn’t revealing the research or the researcher who has used it. 

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.
