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 – 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.

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.
