Last week, we asked our facebook followers: “If a pro-lifer has little disposable income and lives in a remote or rural area (assume no nearby CPCs, abortion clinics, or pro-life-related events), what are some ways he or she could still contribute to pro-life work?” Here are some of our favorite answers. (You can read all […]
On Sunday, we asked our facebook followers: “Have you ever converted a pro-choice person to the pro-life view? If so, what was the situation?” Dozens of people responded. Here are a few of our favorite answers. Lauren H.: Multiple times. I showed them a picture of an abortion victim. Pauline N.: My sister; what helped changed her […]
On Monday, Secular Pro-Life published an article about Maddi Runkles, a high school senior whose private Christian school has banned her from her graduation ceremony because she is pregnant. We joined a chorus of pro-life organizations, led by Students for Life of America, condemning the school’s action and pointing out that penalizing women for being pregnant […]
Yesterday, the House of Representatives took the first step to dismantle a recently issued Dept. of Health & Human Services rule that prohibits states from prioritizing their own local health departments and other health care providers for funding. It’s been aptly described as a “parting gift to Planned Parenthood” from the Obama administration. But the […]
Recently we asked our FB followers: “Do you think comparing abortion to a holocaust is a valid comparison?” We got tons of responses. (I read over the first 80 comments but stopped keeping track after that.) Opinions seem to break down into three overall categories: 1. No, the comparison has problems. 2. Yes, it’s a […]
SPL member Stephanie D. wrote: I had to have some minor gynecological surgery done today, and wary that some gynos also do abortions, I specifically looked at a gyno attached to a Catholic hospital and booked into what I thought was a Catholic surgicentre. Found out once I was in the prep room ready to […]
As a feminist pro-life organization, we believe that abortion is in many (if not most) cases a symptom of societal failures to accommodate women. Abortion is interconnected with other problems women face, including sexual assault. So far, I think many pro-life and pro-choice people would agree. But pro-life and pro-choice circles often have different vocabularies […]
On Tuesday, we posted an article about miscarriage and asked our supporters on facebook: “Have you lost a child to miscarriage? How did your pro-life friends and family react? How did your pro-choice friends and family react?” You had some insightful, moving responses. A selection follows. (You can read them all in their entirety here.) Without […]
If we want to change hearts and minds regarding abortion, it’s helpful to know what’s converted people in the past. Recently we asked our Facebook followers, “Did you or someone you’re close to go from being pro-choice to pro-life? If so, what changed your mind?” We got some amazing answers, and there were definitely some consistent […]
In order to change people’s minds, we need to understand what people think in the first place. Many pro-lifers who insist there’s no significant difference between the terms “pro-choice” and “pro-abortion,” but clearly the other side disagrees. You’ve probably heard people who support legal abortion get angry or frustrated if others try to label them […]
