Is Gosnell America’s “Biggest Serial Killer”?

October 24, 2018 /0 Comments/in Later Abortion /by Monica Snyder

This post contains quotes, summaries, and descriptions from the grand jury report regarding Kermit Gosnell. Much of this information is very disturbing, including graphic descriptions of violence. NBC published a review of the Gosnell movie by Robin Marty. She didn’t like the film. In particular she took exception to the moniker “America’s Biggest Serial Killer,” saying: […]

NWF attends “Abortion Stories” panel at The Women’s Conference

October 19, 2018 /0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

About a year ago, Destiny of New Wave Feminists attended The Women’s Convention in Detroit. Recently she created a video (FB, Youtube) talking about attending the “Abortion Stories” breakout session. We’ve transcribed the video below. Phrases in italics signify thoughts not spoken out loud. ***** Okay so I don’t have a ton of time but I […]

Your experiences with CPCs and pregnancy resource centers.

October 2, 2018 /0 Comments/in Uncategorized, We Asked You Answered /by Monica Snyder

About a week ago we asked our followers what experiences they’ve had with pregnancy resource centers. You can read all the responses here, but below are some key selections. Those who have volunteered or worked for a center: Sarah I: I volunteer for one. I usually do whatever task they need me to do. One […]

“The people want Roe to stay.”

September 25, 2018 /0 Comments/in Research, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

Polls asking about support for Roe v. Wade Polls about Roe v. Wade consistently find that a strong majority of Americans don’t want Roe overturned. Examples: About seven-in-ten Americans oppose overturning Roe v. Wade, Pew Research, January 3, 2017. “Would you like to see the Supreme Court completely overturn its Roe v. Wade decision, or […]

Hi. We exist. – XOXO Pro-Life Women

September 20, 2018 /0 Comments/in Pro-Life Demographics /by Monica Snyder

(Original graphic on FB here.) Pro-choice feminist groups continually insist you can’t be feminist and “anti-choice.” Netflix’ recent “Reversing Roe” documentary cut tons of footage of pro-life women and showcased almost exclusively men for the anti-abortion side. The incessant “war on women” trope leaves casual observers believing this is a strongly gendered debate, with women fiercely […]

Recap: Let There Be Life Conference 2018 at UC Berkeley

September 12, 2018 /0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

The Let There Be Life Conference co-hosted by Berkeley Students for Life and Pro-Life San Francisco was a smashing success. Not only did each speaker cover very different content, but the style of each speech was entirely different. There were speeches in the style of spoken word poetry, rigorous academic discussion, sermon*, humorous dialogue, rousing call to […]

Pro-choice states have just as many unintended pregnancies, and far more abortions

September 11, 2018 /0 Comments/in Research, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

If you’re into a lot of graphs and number crunching, read on. If you’re not, here’s the bottom line: compared to pro-life states, pro-choice states have more insurance coverage of contraception yet have roughly the same rates of unintended pregnancies and much higher rates of abortion. In early 2015 the Washington Post published the article […]

Even third trimester abortions are done for non-medical reasons.

September 10, 2018 /0 Comments/in Later Abortion /by Monica Snyder

We’ve written before (part 1, part 2) about how most late-term abortions are elective, i.e. performed for non-medical reasons (maternal or fetal). The data we’ve been able to find looks at abortions after the first trimester but doesn’t get specific about third trimester abortions. It may not even be possible to find quantifiable data on […]

Sources for Secular Pro-Life’s “Deconstructing Three Pro-Choice Myths” speech.

September 8, 2018 /0 Comments/in Speeches, Discussions, Presentations, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

Today at the University of California, Berkeley, Pro-Life San Francisco is hosting the Let There Be Life Conference, which is designed to promote pro-life unity and education among Californians. Secular Pro-Life will be doing a speech on three pro-choice myths, including where those myths come from and exactly why they are misleading. We hope to post […]

Pro-choice embryologist contradicts his own biology textbook.

August 31, 2018 /0 Comments/in Biology /by Monica Snyder

When we say “life begins at conception,” we mean the human life cycle begins with the zygote. But often others think we are trying to say “people [morally relevant and valuable humans] begin at conception.” This is a philosophical claim, not a scientific one. So when others counter with “science can’t tell us when life begins” […]
