On May 18 the Journal of Women, Politics, & Policy published “Standing Up For Women? How Party and Gender Influence Politicians’ Online Discussion of Planned Parenthood.” In this study, researcher Morgan Johnstonbaugh analyzed tweets by members of the 114th House of Representatives regarding Planned Parenthood. She narrowed the focus to tweets made between July 1 […]
Recently, Democrats for Life President Kristen Day questioned Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg about whether the Democratic Party welcomes pro-life Democrats. She said, in part, I am a proud pro-life Democrat. Do you want the support of pro-life Democratic voters? There are about 21 million of us. NARAL President Ilyse Hogue objected to that stat, pointing to […]
Last week, we posted the above graphic to our social media pages with the caption “In the United States, 23% of abortion opponents are Catholic and 12% have no religious affiliation. We are proud to stand with our pro-life brothers and sisters of all faith backgrounds to end the violence of abortion!” We got a […]
(Original graphic on FB here.) Pro-choice feminist groups continually insist you can’t be feminist and “anti-choice.” Netflix’ recent “Reversing Roe” documentary cut tons of footage of pro-life women and showcased almost exclusively men for the anti-abortion side. The incessant “war on women” trope leaves casual observers believing this is a strongly gendered debate, with women fiercely […]
There are 12.8 million non-religious pro-lifers in the United States. That’s equal to the population of Illinois! And it’s a huge jump from just five years ago, when you may remember that Secular Pro-Life ran a visibility campaign touting 6 million non-religious pro-life Americans. How did this happen? First, let’s show our work. As of 2017, […]
In the 45 years since Roe v. Wade, the Democratic Party has never had less control in Washington D.C. than it does now. Interestingly, the Democratic Party has also never had a more radical position on abortion. The official Democratic Party platform states: Every woman should have access to quality reproductive health care services, including […]
Recently my FB newsfeed delivered me this gem: “5 Thing Pro-Choicers Wish Their Anti-Choice Friends Understood.” To my disappointment, the article includes plenty of sarcasm, negative assumptions, and (in my experience) incorrect stereotypes. It certainly doesn’t come off as a conversation between friends, so maybe the title was just tongue-in-cheek. But I really do have […]
Above: the front of the line at the 2015 March for Life in Washington, D.C. You’ve probably seen the black-and-white poster that boldly proclaims: “77% of anti-abortion leaders are men. 100% of them will never be pregnant.” The 77% figure has always struck me as high. I’ve been active in the pro-life movement for about […]
Polls consistently show that a strong majority of self-identified non-religious Americans call themselves pro-choice. That’s in stark contrast to the American public at large, which is roughly 50-50, though leaning pro-life in recent years. Some pro-choice atheists use this polling data as evidence that the pro-choice position is correct. The argument, in a nutshell, is […]
