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 […]

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 […]
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 […]

In a week I’m heading to Washington DC for the March for Life (MFL) and related conferences and events. Coalition building is a fundamental part of SPL’s mission. To that end, in 2024 we completed many public-facing collaborative projects and even more behind-closed-door brainstorming and coordination work (details). MFL week in DC is a uniquely opportune […]
As the year came to a close I wrote quite a lot detailing the awesome work SPL did in 2024, and asking you to help us make the most of a generous matching grant. And your responses have been great. Thank you for a bunch of reasons: Thanks for your donations. Our year-end campaign resulted […]
Hi All, SPL’s mission is three part: I’ve told you about our 2024 wins regarding part 1 (creating debunking content) and part 2 (connecting with non-traditional pro-lifers). Our progress with part 3 (coalition building) has also been exceptional. Coalition-building is crucial to the pro-life movement’s success. We’re often outfunded and outresourced by abortion advocates. We […]
SPL prioritizes outreach to non-traditional pro-lifers. Part of SPL’s mission is to make space for non-traditional pro-lifers. In our Building Bridges presentation, I explain the difference between “traditional” and “non-traditional”: Countless non-traditional pro-lifers are opposed to abortion but think they’re alone. All their friends are pro-choice, and the traditional pro-life movement can seem disinterested or even hostile to […]
Hi All, I recently wrote you celebrating SPL’s successful debunking content and asking for your help to bridge our year-end budget gap of $23,000. Since then you’ve been sending a steady stream of donations, which is so encouraging. Thanks to you, we’re able to make secular arguments against abortion and connect all types of people to anti-abortion […]
