Secular Pro-Life recently shared a task from our new program How to be Pro-Life: “Make sure you have sufficient sexual education.” SPL strongly supports comprehensive sex education, including accurate information about methods to avoid conception, as an important tool to prevent unplanned pregnancies and abortions. We asked our social media followers: “If you have or intend […]
We asked our Facebook followers: “For those of you who used to be pro-choice, what made you change your mind?” The post blew up, with hundreds of thoughtful comments. Here are just a few of our favorites. Jamie S.: Actually listening to pro-life people instead of just dismissing them, and researching the science of the […]
With both the Powerball and Mega Millions jackpots at unusual highs ($730 million and $850 million, respectively, as of this writing), we wanted to know: what kind of pro-life work would you do if you won the lottery? Here are a few of your ideas. Reming M.—Start a secular pregnancy center and/or shelter for families. […]
Sadly, Colorado’s Proposition 115—which would have finally prohibited medically unnecessary late-term abortions (five months or later) in the state—did not pass. Although Election Day did have some bright spots, like the passage of Louisiana’s Love Life Amendment and the election of numerous pro-life women to Congress, the inability to pass even the barest protection for […]
We posed this scenario to our Facebook followers: Scene: You’re at work. Coworker A starts casually repeating pro-choice talking points to Coworker B, clearly in earshot of you and several other coworkers. Coworker B agrees politely, though doesn’t seem particularly invested in the conversation. They commiserate on their general dislike of pro-lifers and their perceptions […]

If you have experience in these areas let us know what you think.” Here are few of our favorite responses. Karah E.: As someone who was both adopted and placed a baby for adoption I would beg people […]

We recently posted on the Secular Pro-Life facebook page: An author working on a book about political engagement asked: “Conservatives I speak with often blame the federal government for a lot of social problems, while liberals tend to blame capitalism. Viewing the issue of abortion from a systemic standpoint, what are the institutional sources of […]
We asked our social media followers: “Are you close to pro-choice people? Do you talk about abortion with them? If so, how does it go?” We were flooded with responses. Here’s a sampling. Colleen A.: A few. We don’t tend to get into a lot of direct discussion about it. But where I’ve had most success […]
We recently asked our followers on social media: “If an organization opposed abortion after 21 weeks but supported earlier abortions, would you be willing to work with them publicly to outlaw the later abortions? Why or why not?” (The question was purely hypothetical; to the best of our knowledge, no such organization exists.) A lively, […]
