January 8, 2024 in Legislation, laws, & court cases, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

I’ve recently been seeing headlines like these: On January 2, 2024, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on Texas v Becerra, a case about what the federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) can require of hospitals. And no, the court did not say Texas can ban emergency abortions. EMTALA requires Medicare-accepting […]

December 22, 2023 in Uncategorized, We Asked You Answered /by Monica Snyder

We posed this question to our followers on social media: You’re at your in-laws for Christmas dinner when your spouse’s cousin, in front of everyone, asks you to explain why you’re against abortion. How do you respond? Here are a few of the top responses, lightly edited for clarity. Josh P.: “Killing babies is bad, […]

Kate Cox, Trisomy 18, and the Texas abortion law

December 11, 2023 in Legislation, laws, & court cases, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

I’ve seen quite a few people asking about the Kate Cox case. This tweet in particular caught my eye: Summary of Kate Cox case If you don’t already know, Kate Cox is a woman a little over 20 weeks pregnant with a little girl with Trisomy 18. Trisomy 18, also known as Edward’s Syndrome, is […]

azcentral recently published Many women struggle mentally after an abortion. Few counselors know how to help. The whole piece is worth the read, but here are some key excerpts: Melanie opened up about the anxiety and anguish she still felt over the abortion decision. As an atheist woman in her 30s with her whole life in […]

3 reasons you should let people know you’re pro-life

December 8, 2023 in Pro-Life Demographics, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

[Some of this content is available as a printed brochure here.] I have a quick and easy way you can do pro-life work in your day-to-day life.

WeCount says abortions increased after Dobbs. What does this mean?

November 29, 2023 in Legislation, laws, & court cases, Research, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

Introducing the WeCount report. You may have recently seen headlines like these: These articles are based on the October 2023 WeCount report. WeCount describes themselves as a “national abortion reporting effort.” Their report focuses on the number of abortions in the United States in the 12 month period after Dobbs (July 2022 through June 2023), […]

In the fight for life

November 8, 2023 in Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

Last night Ohioans voted for Issue 1, which enshrines the right to abortion in their state constitution. This is a major loss for the pro-life side, not least of all because it comes as part of a series of state ballot initiative defeats since Dobbs (after California, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Montana, and Vermont). And there […]

“Where do atheists think human rights come from?”

October 30, 2023 in Philosophy, Religion, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

Secular Pro-Life is run by atheists. We bring it up not because we care if people agree with our (lack of) religious views, but because we want people to understand you don’t have to be religious to be pro-life. In fact, we like to emphasize that we do not care what your religious beliefs are; […]

Is Ohio denying miscarriage care?

October 27, 2023 in Legislation, laws, & court cases, Miscarriage & Pregnancy Loss, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

In late 2022, NPR published Her miscarriage left her bleeding profusely. An Ohio ER sent her home to wait.
