SPL’s main focus, obviously, is on different religious backgrounds. We ask our allies in the pro-life movement to help SPL create space for pro-life secularists and give secularists a stronger voice in the […]

I think when going out to the abortion clinics or peaceful protests for life, it’s so important to have an array of people with different beliefs and perspectives on life there. Women going in to abortion clinics need to see that if they choose life there are so many different people they can relate to […]
Editor’s note: As part of our new Secular Sidewalk program, Monday blog posts will be written by sidewalk counselors. This week, our guest blogger is Heather from Virginia.
