How secular pro-choicers become secular pro-lifers

August 23, 2024/in Dialogue strategy, Pro-Life Demographics, Religion, Uncategorized, We Asked You Answered /by Monica Snyder

In mid-July we launched our survey of non-traditional pro-lifers. Respondents described their religious views and whether they’ve always opposed abortion. Those who haven’t always opposed abortion elaborated on what changed their minds. Below is a selection of those answers from people who described themselves as “atheist” or “agnostic.” You can also see many similar answers […]

We asked, you answered: Times the pro-life movement made you feel welcome

August 16, 2024/in Pro-Life Demographics, Uncategorized, We Asked You Answered /by Monica Snyder

Pro-lifers are stereotyped as older religious (Christian) conservative straight white men. And while we want older Christian conservative straight white men to be pro-life, we know that these six characteristics are ill-fitting descriptions of millions of the people who oppose abortion. We describe these groups as the “non-traditional” pro-lifers. Sometimes non-traditional pro-lifers have a tenuous […]

We asked, you answered: How could the pro-life movement be more accessible?

August 9, 2024/in Pro-Life Demographics, Uncategorized, We Asked You Answered /by Monica Snyder

Pro-lifers are stereotyped as older religious (Christian) conservative straight white men. Much of this stereotype is reinforced externally by pro-choicers as well as major cultural institutions (e.g. media, Hollywood). Often pro-choicers try to draw rigid tribal lines and use them to sidestep actual debate (“no uterus, no opinion,” “stop pushing your religion on everyone,” etc). […]

We Asked, You Answered: Dealing with Trolls

June 7, 2024/in Dialogue strategy, Uncategorized, We Asked You Answered /by Kelsey Hazzard

Ah, online debating. Sometimes it’s a great way to strong-man the opposition, change hearts and minds, and even spare someone from death by abortion. And other times, you’re rudely insulted and asked how many rape-conceived babies with Down Syndrome trapped in a burning IVF lab have YOU adopted, HUH???!? It can get a little exhausting. […]
