October 13, 2025/in Adoption & Foster Care, Uncategorized, Your Stories /by Guest Blogger

Conversations about adoption are often missing the voices of people who have lived it. Countless individuals have firsthand experience with the process, and their stories deserve to be heard. In our new series, “Adoption Stories,” we’re giving adoptees, adoptive parents, and their families a platform to share their journeys in their own words. This month, […]

When abortion clinics close and pro-choice PRCs open

October 8, 2025/in Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

Today’s blog post is co-written by Monica Snyder and Virginia Pride. What do abortion clinics do when abortion is banned? When Roe vs Wade was overturned by Dobbs in 2022, several states had “trigger laws” which automatically restricted abortions beyond certain gestations. Many abortion clinics offer other services such as contraception and STD testing, but […]

Livestream Recap: Behind the doors of the Washington Surgi-Clinic

September 29, 2025/in Later Abortion, Livestream Recaps, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder
