Many of our followers know by now that SPL is run by three atheist women: Monica the conservative, Kelsey the independent, and me (Terrisa), the flaming liberal. Naturally, when Democrats for Life of America cleverly sought out a secular speaker for their national conference in Lansing, Michigan, I was happy to fulfill the role! I […]
The Let There Be Life Conference co-hosted by Berkeley Students for Life and Pro-Life San Francisco was a smashing success. Not only did each speaker cover very different content, but the style of each speech was entirely different. There were speeches in the style of spoken word poetry, rigorous academic discussion, sermon*, humorous dialogue, rousing call to […]
This weekend I had the honor of attending and speaking at the Democrats for Life of America (DFLA) Conference in Denver, Colorado. I myself am a registered Democrat and pro-life activist operating in San Francisco, one of the most left-leaning of America’s progressive cities. A progressive local group in Colorado had purchased a billboard sign […]
[Today’s guest post is by Michelle R.] I’ll admit I was a little nervous when Terrisa invited me to the Californians for Life Summit. Despite being pro-life for several years, I didn’t feel comfortable attending pro-life events. In 2016, I went to OneLife LA with a secular friend who was pro-choice but open to learning […]
On Wednesday, May 3rd 2017, members of the Center for Medical Progress, David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt, were arraigned in San Francisco at the Hall of Justice. Prior to the check-in I was standing outside the hall with my standard sign I bring to all pro-life events in San Francisco, bearing the slogan for the organization […]
On Saturday February 11, 2017, pro-lifers gathered at Planned Parenthood locations across the country to call upon legislators to strip the organization of its federal funding and reallocate those funds to federally qualified health care centers. When I first arrived on the scene it was about 45 minutes before the event was scheduled to […]
When the Women’s March on Washington event first posted the day after the election of Donald Trump, I immediately marked myself as interested. Like may secular, liberal, millennial women, I was devastated and taken completely off guard with the outcome of the election. I kept thinking about the way Megyn Kelly had been treated, about […]
Monday night, Cecile Richards, CEO of Planned Parenthood, delivered a message entitled “The Future of Choice” in San Francisco. Pro-Life Future of San Francisco was on the scene that night to protest. It was a very cold in the city, and I wasn’t sure what to expect. Mostly I pictured a long line of people […]
Calling all Bay Area Pro-Lifers! Monday, December 5th, 2016, President and CEO of Planned Parenthood Cecile Richards is scheduled to deliver a speech entitled “The Future of Choice” in San Francisco, California. Join Secular Pro-Life Representative and President of Pro-Life Future San Francisco, Terrisa Bukovinac, in peaceful protest against Planned Parenthood and the destruction of […]
[Today’s guest post is by Terrisa Bukovinac.] When I first set out to launch a Pro-Life Future chapter in San Francisco, I was at the Life/Peace/Justice 2016 Conference in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Traveling to the city of Philadelphia for the first time, I was overwhelmed by the history of our (well I think great) nation. I was […]
