My Almost Abortion Experience

March 8, 2016/0 Comments/in Uncategorized, Your Stories /by Guest Blogger

[Today’s guest post is by Claudia Turcott.] I looked at the plus sign on the pregnancy test in disbelief… This couldn’t be happening. Just a short month before, I’d been told by an ob/gyn that I would need fertility treatments to ever be able to conceive. I had been having the time of my life, […]

How I left the pro-choice movement and found true liberation

July 28, 2015/0 Comments/in Uncategorized, Your Stories /by Guest Blogger

Above: pro-choice counter-protesters hold altered signs denying post-abortive parents’ pain [Today’s guest author writes anonymously.] I was atheist, feminist, left, libertarian and pro-choice since conception. My mother was an English woman who had a weekend affair with my African American father, and then raised me on her own. She was independent, liberal and proud. She […]

I’m thankful for my maternity home

December 2, 2014/11 Comments/in Uncategorized, Your Stories /by Guest Blogger

[Today’s guest post is by Heather Crandall. We briefly mentioned her last week during our Thanksgiving series, but her whole story is worth the read.] Having kids is hard. Having a child out of wedlock and alone feels like a running a marathon with a boulder attached to your foot. I had gotten pregnant, after […]

How I see the abortion debate now that I’m pregnant.

August 22, 2014/50 Comments/in Uncategorized, Your Stories /by Monica Snyder

So I’m pregnant. I’ve been relatively active in the pro-life movement for about 8 years now, and I’ve never been pregnant before. I’ve tried to listen attentively to the experiences of mothers in general and pregnant women particularly and understand where they’re coming from. And of course I still think attentive listening is a good […]

How a pregnancy scare affected my pro-life views

April 14, 2014/134 Comments/in Uncategorized, Your Stories /by Guest Blogger

Nope! Where may I collect? [Today’s guest blogger is anonymous.] While a stereotype out there about pro-lifers is that we’re prudish virgins who all hate sex, that’s not true. You can be pro-life and still have sex. Plenty of us have, myself included. But I always have sex with the thought in the back of […]

Adverse Prenatal Diagnosis: Marlena’s Story

September 17, 2013/3 Comments/in Uncategorized, Your Stories /by Guest Blogger

[Today’s guest post is by SPL member Lindsey Musgrave.]  Photos courtesy of Lindsey Musgrave I hope that this story emphasizes the importance of researching all options and even getting a second opinion when faced with a prenatal diagnosis. Sometimes, things truly are bad when it comes to prenatal anomalies, but not always, and hope […]

Every Child is a Wanted Child

August 5, 2013/32 Comments/in Adoption & Foster Care, They Can Hear You, Uncategorized, Your Stories /by Guest Blogger

[Today’s guest post by Crystal Kupper is part of our paid blogging program.] I gasped the first time I saw her photo. Limbs splayed out across a metal crib, the little girl’s ribs nearly poked out of her chest. Her striped socks — the only piece of clothing she wore on her emaciated body — […]

An inspirational young woman

June 18, 2013/0 Comments/in Uncategorized, Your Stories /by Kelsey Hazzard

Your president Kelsey Hazzard here. Since most of my interactions with Secular Pro-Life supporters take place online, people are often surprised to learn that I’m 24 years old. This is usually followed by a compliment–“You’re so impressive! You’ve done so much for the pro-life cause at such a young age! You’re so amazing!” Katie and […]

Her story: a post-abortive sibling.

May 24, 2013/2 Comments/in Uncategorized, Your Stories /by Guest Blogger

Guest Blogger Renee shares her experiences upon finding out her mother is post-abortive. Hi, my name is Renee, though many know me as Susi O Fanabba. I am relatively new to the pro-life movement, as I only started speaking out in March of last year.  It was quite a transition, considering that I had avoided […]

Melissa Ohden, Abortion Survivor

March 15, 2013/2 Comments/in They Can Hear You, Uncategorized, Your Stories /by Kelsey Hazzard

In 1977, Melissa Ohden was born alive after a failed abortion. Her biological parents arranged for her to be adopted. Melissa describes her adoptive parents’ reactions when they met her: My parents saw the inherent beauty that existed in me. I want everybody to see that. If we look behind words, if we look behind […]
