Don’t tell people they can’t be pro-life.
/in Pro-Life Demographics, Uncategorized /by Monica SnyderThis post is primarily for conservative Christian pro-lifers. I consider myself fairly conservative, but SPL’s Board President is a moderate and our Board Vice President is a liberal. We get along great.

Confronting counter protesters at the March on the Arch (St. Louis, MO)
