“Don’t define me by my disease.” On abortion and ableism.

July 10, 2020/0 Comments/in Ableism, They Can Hear You, Uncategorized /by Guest Blogger

[Today’s guest post is by Deb Jones. If you would like to contribute a guest post, email your submission to info@secularprolife.org for consideration.] Deb and Shooter One of the main staples of the argument that abortion needs to stay legal is for those with disabilities, those diagnosed with diseases, syndromes and things of that nature.

The unlikely story of the pro-life author of “Reconsidering Fetal Pain”

June 26, 2020/1 Comment/in Uncategorized, Your Stories /by Monica Snyder

[This post is a transcription of a story I told verbally.] Okay so I want to share this amazing story. First the background. In the abortion debate there’s controversy over the fetal pain issue. For a long time the prevailing scientific wisdom (though not a consensus) was that fetuses probably couldn’t feel pain before 24 […]

Annie’s story: unintended pregnancy threatened her athletic scholarship — and her pro-choice views

April 10, 2020/0 Comments/in Uncategorized, Your Stories /by Guest Blogger

[Today’s guest post is by Annie Gasway, who converted from being pro-choice to pro-life because of her experiences with unintended pregnancy.] In January 2000, I was 21. I was on a half-ride athletic scholarship (track and cross country) at a Division I university. I was not only Team Captain but also the number one runner. […]

Interview: How Gabriela became a sidewalk counselor outside the clinic where she had her abortion

March 16, 2020/0 Comments/in Uncategorized, Your Stories /by Guest Blogger

I met Gabriela recently through Secular Pro-Life. I asked her if she had always been pro-life, and when she said no, I asked her what brought her to our side. Her story moved me, and she gave me permission to share it through an interview. – Monica   How long were you pro-choice? What were […]

New Life: My Pro-Life Conversion Story

July 24, 2019/0 Comments/in Religion, Uncategorized, Your Stories /by Guest Blogger

My name is Chris, and I’m an alcoholic. Thankfully, a recovering one – though I was not a first-time success story. I got sober through Alcoholics Anonymous, and my most daunting obstacle to working the program’s Twelve Steps of Recovery was embracing a higher power. In trying (and failing) to quit drinking for some time, […]

The people whose lives you suggest aren’t worth living? They can hear you.

[The original FB post where we collected these answers can be found here. We’ve since created a FB album with more such perspectives here.] Recently, “The Good Place” star Jameela Jamil tweeted the following: Text reads: “I had an abortion when I was young, and it was the best decision I have ever made.

Life: A Difficult Choice, but Still the Right Choice

February 19, 2019/0 Comments/in Uncategorized, Your Stories /by Guest Blogger

I still remember the day I was sitting on the toilet in the bathroom watching the second blue line on my pregnancy test appear. My heart started racing and the room darkened as if I was about to pass out. My daughter is the most beautiful person I have ever met. She was unplanned. I […]

How #ShoutYourAbortion Changed My Mind

February 5, 2019/1 Comment/in Uncategorized, Your Stories /by Guest Blogger

I was raised pro-life. My parents were so passionate about the cause, in fact, that when my four brothers and I got old enough to drive, any new car had to be fitted with a pro-life bumper sticker or it wasn’t allowed on their property. All through childhood, I never questioned this idea. It seemed […]

My visit to Planned Parenthood

January 15, 2019/0 Comments/in Uncategorized, Your Stories /by Guest Blogger

It is universally acknowledged among pro-lifers that Planned Parenthood is an abortion corporation that should not be supported nor funded through taxpayer dollars. But how many pro-lifers can say that they have actually been to a Planned Parenthood, with the intention of having an abortion? Sadly, I have experienced this first hand, and by sharing […]

Saving Lives in Memory of Baby Emily

June 6, 2018/0 Comments/in Uncategorized, Your Stories /by Guest Blogger

When I was a child, my baby sister died just two days before her delivery date when my mom’s uterus ruptured unexpectedly—the result of my Caesarean birth just four years earlier. It was the first real tragedy my parents faced in their marriage, and she just happened to die on the anniversary of Roe v. […]
