Last weekend Oregon Right to Life (ORTL) invited me to open their Together We Advocate conference with Building Bridges, SPL’s keynote presentation that’s all about how to connect to people different from ourselves. Bridges aligns perfectly with two core parts of SPL’s mission: coalition building and creating space for non-traditional pro-lifers, and every single time I’ve presented it I’ve been […]
March for Life week in Washington DC was fantastic. Each night before I went to bed I tried to write down everyone I had talked to. Ultimately I counted 143 interactions I had with other leaders and activists in the movement, many of them good friends. Practically a reunion. It was also totally exhausting. For […]

You can watch/listen to the full episode here or read the summary below. Key Takeaways Summary In this episode of The Centered Podcast, I talk with Missy Martinez-Stone about how […]
Photo Credit Crystal Kupper I have been a faithful Secular Pro-Life volunteer for years, regularly offering my writing, editing, and administration skills from afar. But on Saturday, November 9, I leveled up, presenting at the Arizona Life Coalition’s annual Pro-Life Leaders Summit in Phoenix. ALC leaders had noticed both my frequent SPL-related posts online and […]
Last weekend, our friends at Rehumanize International held their annual conference in Atlanta. Rehumanize is a Consistent Life Ethic (CLE) group, which means their work encompasses a wide range of social ills. That includes abortion, along with threats to older humans like the death penalty and sex trafficking. Their conferences present a wonderful opportunity for activists in […]

June is a member of the parish council of St. Joseph’s in New Paltz, New York, where they host lecture series on a variety of social issues important to Catholics. They’ve covered […]
Last week I joined SPL supporters to rally in Phoenix against Prop 139. Arizona already allows elective abortion until 15 weeks, but apparently that’s not enough for abortion advocates. They’re fighting for the “right” to abort viable children. It’s grotesque extremism, and we had some thoughts we wanted to share. Before the rally even began, press […]
On May 18, we hosted Secular Pro-Life’s 2nd annual trivia night outside St. Louis, Missouri. It was fantastic. SPL’s primary mission is to advance secular arguments against abortion. But our mission includes two additional parts: make space for non-traditional (especially non-religious) pro-life people, and build interfaith coalitions (people of any faith or no faith) to […]
Last week I went to Salt Lake City to speak at the Heartbeat International conference. Heartbeat International is an association of thousands of pregnancy resource centers (PRCs) and hosts an annual conference offering affiliates detailed training on running successful PRCs. The conference is massive. This year they boasted approximately 1,300 attendees in person, plus countless […]
The pro-life organization at the University of Portland (UP), Voices For Life, invited me to give my presentation “Deconstructing Pro-Choice Myths” on March 25. Preceding Events I wasn’t involved with the events preceding the presentation, but to my understanding they went as follows. In the weeks before the talk, Voices For Life created this poster […]
