Please don’t conflate abortion harm with abortion regret

September 4, 2024/in Uncategorized, Your Stories /by Guest Blogger

A very similar version of this post is available as a Twitter/X thread here. Photo Credit: Valeriia Miller on Unsplash Dear Pro-Life Community, I am officially asking that we stop conflating the harm abortion does to women with the concept of “regret.” This may seem trivial but I’m telling you: It’s important. First, I’m not […]

“We invited the child’s spirit to revisit Earth another time.”

August 28, 2024/in Miscarriage & Pregnancy Loss, Religion, Uncategorized, Your Stories /by Monica Snyder

The abortion debate is often described as anti-choice people opposing abortion for religious reasons on the one side and pro-choice people supporting abortion for more secular, pluralistic reasons on the other. In reality, the different sides are more complex. Of course, we at Secular Pro-Life often focus on the secular bases for opposing abortion. But […]

“Aborting my baby.” Women describe their aborted embryos as their children.

August 21, 2024/in Miscarriage & Pregnancy Loss, Uncategorized, Your Stories /by Monica Snyder

Many pro-choicers think of embryos and fetuses as “clumps of cells.” They may mean figuratively (philosophically unimportant biomatter) or literally (spheres of undifferentiated cells). Either way, these pro-choicers often act as if only zealous anti-abortion activists view embryos as human beings. They dismiss the idea that embryos are children as a niche and archaic religious […]

Stories of Prenatal Diagnosis: B. M.

August 19, 2024/in Ableism, Uncategorized, Your Stories /by Guest Blogger

In our series “Stories of Prenatal Diagnosis,” we share testimonies of parents who received a diagnosis while pregnant and their personal experience in handling it. Today’s story is from “B. M.” […]

Medical community, ableism, and Trisomy 18

August 12, 2024/in Ableism, Later Abortion, They Can Hear You, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

Trisomy 18 ‘fatality’ ignores worth of born, living children with the condition Important article for your consideration: “Texas woman seeking abortion argued Trisomy 18 is lethal. Michigan children prove it’s not.” The article profiles several families in Michigan with children with Trisomy 18. One such family is that of Jewel and her daughter, CC: “CC […]

Although Secular Pro-Life is not exclusively for atheists and agnostics, historically they have played a key role in the organization.

The abortion debate no one wants to have

July 3, 2024/in Ableism, They Can Hear You, Uncategorized /by Guest Blogger

Photo Credit Pavol Štugel on Unsplash The following is a reprint from The Chron. This article was authored by Patricia E. Bauer. If it’s unacceptable for William Bennett to link abortion even conversationally with a whole class of people (and, of course, it is), why then do we as a society view abortion as justified and unremarkable […]
