Will you be in Connecticut next week?

March 31, 2025 in Administrative, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

Hi All – I’m going on a brief, packed speaking trip in Connecticut next week. If you’re around you should come see me. I’ll be giving the following presentations: All of my presentations are thorough and engaging. The Turnaway and Myths presentations are fairly academic, including lists of citations and some deep-dive analyses. The Bridges presentation is more real-world application. All […]

Lawsuit filed against Illinois later abortion provider

March 26, 2025 in Later Abortion, Legislation, laws, & court cases, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

Please note the video and transcript include graphic descriptions of violence. (Video also available on Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram.) Unbelievable story out of Illinois from last week: “Champaign abortion doctor left fetus parts in woman’s body, lawsuit alleges.” A woman from Indiana traveled to Illinois in spring of 2023. She was about 22-weeks pregnant, and […]

“Did I make the right decision?”

March 19, 2025 in Uncategorized, Your Stories /by Monica Snyder

Note: Any time I talk about women suffering after abortion, people assume I’m arguing that their suffering is a reason to outlaw abortion. In fact this isn’t my point. I do think we should outlaw elective abortion–because it kills human beings. But even if we lived in a world where outlawing abortion was impossible, I […]

“TikTok docs” don’t know what they’re talking about

March 17, 2025 in Later Abortion, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

If you think the following explanations and responses are important, consider supporting our work. One of the most effective ways to do so is to become a monthly donor (check the box for “show my support by making this a monthly donation”). TikTok docs don’t always know what they’re talking about. Note when I say “TikTok doc” […]

Recap: SPL’s 2025 Trivia Night

March 14, 2025 in Administrative, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

On March 7, we hosted Secular Pro-Life’s 3rd annual trivia night outside St. Louis, Missouri. It was fantastic. SPL’s primary mission is to advance secular arguments against abortion. But our mission includes two additional parts: make space for non-traditional (especially non-religious) pro-life people, and build interfaith coalitions (people of any faith or no faith) to […]

Response: “‘Where does life begin?’ is a spiritual question”

March 12, 2025 in Religion, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

[This article is a transcript of “‘”Where does life begin?” is a spiritual question’” courtesy of volunteer Ben Tomlin. If you’re interested in volunteering to transcribe more of our content, please complete our volunteer survey.] (Video also available on Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram.) I was a conservative Christian for a long time who could not understand how anyone could […]

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. Bridges aligns perfectly with two core parts of SPL’s mission: coalition building and creating space for non-traditional pro-lifers, and every single time I’ve presented it I’ve been […]

Response: “Bodily autonomy is widely respected in every other context”

February 28, 2025 in Bodily Rights, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

[This article is a transcript of ““This whole pro-life movement is super disingenuous” (re kidney donations)” courtesy of volunteer Ben Tomlin. If you’re interested in volunteering to transcribe more of our content, please complete our volunteer survey.] (Video also available on Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram.) A few weeks ago, Buzzfeed published an article titled, “This 23-Year-Old Man’s Pro-Abortion Argument […]

Meet Herb, Our Chief Communications Officer

February 24, 2025 in Administrative, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

Herb Geraghty is a pro-life atheist and former Executive Director of the renowned consistent life ethic organization Rehumanize International. Herb is a passionate advocate for the marginalized and vulnerable, and in no area has he contributed more than the defense of prenatal children. Herb’s history of activism is extensive, but he’s particularly known for civil […]

Will you be in Oregon on March 1?

February 19, 2025 in Administrative, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

Hi All – Oregon Right to Life has graciously invited me to be a featured speaker at their March 1, 2025 conference “Together We Advocate.” In the morning I’ll give part of Building Bridges as a keynote presentation. Specifically I’ll be discussing how to build connections to moderate pro-choicers and non-traditional pro-lifers. In the afternoon, I’ll lead a workshop […]
