July 1, 2022/1 Comment/in Uncategorized, Your Stories /by Guest Blogger

[Today’s guest article is by an anonymous author.] It’s been strange watching various reactions to Dobbs overturning Roe.

What’s so special about eugenic abortion: a Down syndrome parent sends notes from the battlefield

March 21, 2022/1 Comment/in Ableism, Uncategorized, Your Stories /by Kristina Artuković

Today is World Down Syndrome Day! Did you know? A non-antagonizing piece of information. A picture of a cute kid with Down syndrome. A graphic with socks. Fuzzy inclusive feelings. Too bad it’s not always like that. During my pregnancy with Toma, who happens to have Down syndrome, my husband and I were repeatedly harassed […]

In 2005, I was pregnant with my first child. I was married to the love of my life, I was finished with college (a little later than most people), we had a modest home in Pittsburgh that we were in process of purchasing, and life couldn’t have been more perfect. Rewind back to my chaotic, […]

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 […]

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 […]
