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 […]

Embracing my son

February 1, 2013/3 Comments/in Uncategorized, Your Stories /by Guest Blogger

[Today’s guest post is by SPL member and adoptive mom Nicole Wood.*] Early in 2011, I met my son. He was scared, he did not speak, his appearance was unkempt, he cowered in a corner making little eye contact. I was told that he was thought to be deaf and I would need to learn […]

Her Story: “I do have the strength to raise this child.”

September 19, 2012/3 Comments/in Uncategorized, Your Stories /by Guest Blogger

According to Michelle at Big Blueberry Eyes, in 2006 an anonymous poster shared the following story on a “termination for medical reasons” board: I have lurked here for years, and although my story may not be welcomed with open arms, I feel compelled to share it none-the-less. Like many of you, I received a pre-natal […]
