Oregon Right to Life conference recap

March 7, 2025 in Administrative, Speeches, Discussions, Presentations, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

Last weekend Oregon Right to Life (ORTL) invited me to open their Together We Advocate conference with Building Bridges, SPL’s keynote presentation that’s all about how to connect to people different from ourselves.

Join us in Missouri on March 7: 3rd Annual Trivia Night!

February 6, 2025 in Administrative, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

Hi all – I’d like to joyfully invite you to SPL’s 3rd Annual Trivia Night! Most pro-life fundraisers are formal, somewhat serious events, often with specific political and religious themes. We designed SPL’s trivia night differently. It’s nonpartisan, nonsectarian, casual, lighthearted, and entertaining. People have been resonating with it: we’re located in Missouri and last year […]

Recap: 2025 March for Life week

January 29, 2025 in Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

Ultimately I counted 143 interactions I had with other leaders and activists in the movement, many of them good friends. Practically a reunion. It was also totally exhausting. For […]

Often the articles are about (1) women in states with abortion bans who (2) have a missed or incomplete miscarriage (their body does not fully pass the remains of their child on its own) and […]
