Annie’s story: unintended pregnancy threatened her athletic scholarship — and her pro-choice views

April 10, 2020/0 Comments/in Uncategorized, Your Stories /by Guest Blogger

[Today’s guest post is by Annie Gasway, who converted from being pro-choice to pro-life because of her experiences with unintended pregnancy.] In January 2000, I was 21. I was on a half-ride athletic scholarship (track and cross country) at a Division I university. I was not only Team Captain but also the number one runner. […]

Pro-choice states have just as many unintended pregnancies, and far more abortions

September 11, 2018/0 Comments/in Research, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

If you’re into a lot of graphs and number crunching, read on. If you’re not, here’s the bottom line: compared to pro-life states, pro-choice states have more insurance coverage of contraception yet have roughly the same rates of unintended pregnancies and much higher rates of abortion. In early 2015 the Washington Post published the article […]

Link collection: Evidence that pro-life laws mean fewer unplanned pregnancies.

July 31, 2018/0 Comments/in Research, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

[Update December 2021 – We have recreated and added to the below list here: https://secularprolife.org/pregnancy-rates/] Pro-life laws decrease abortion in two ways. The direct and more obvious way is by decreasing the number of pregnant women who get abortions. A wide body of research (part 1, part 2) demonstrates that when abortion is restricted abortion […]

Pro-life laws prevent abortion primarily by preventing unplanned pregnancy.

July 20, 2018/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Guest Blogger

Today’s guest post is by Conner Alford.   Women and their partners are generally forward-thinking and rational in their fertility behavior.   Within our society’s broader debate on abortion, two particular pro-choice arguments have occupied a great deal of attention among political activists and leaders alike. The first and stronger of these arguments postulates that […]

7 things pro-lifers wish our pro-choice friends understood about us.

February 24, 2016/0 Comments/in Pro-Life Demographics /by Monica Snyder

Recently my FB newsfeed delivered me this gem: “5 Thing Pro-Choicers Wish Their Anti-Choice Friends Understood.” To my disappointment, the article includes plenty of sarcasm, negative assumptions, and (in my experience) incorrect stereotypes. It certainly doesn’t come off as a conversation between friends, so maybe the title was just tongue-in-cheek. But I really do have […]

[Guest blogger EN shares her story about her unplanned pregnancy.] It is hard to imagine a journey as beautiful as the one I’m going to tell you beginning in a stall in the ladies room at Target, but that is where I found out I was pregnant with my 4th child. There I sat, staring […]

Wants vs. Needs

May 29, 2012/13 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

[Today’s post is written by guest blogger Leslie.] Sometimes life puts me in situations that cause me to remember what I knew all along—that love, food, shelter, and clothing are the only real essentials.  Sometimes I am reminded of this when I read about survivors of natural disasters.  When people are escaping with only the […]

“Girls become lovers who turn into mothers.”

May 13, 2012/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

(I woke up with the above-quoted John Mayer song stuck in my head.  Seems fitting.) (Via Pinterest) My first niece (whom I will call “Z”) was due last Tuesday, but still hasn’t made her appearance.  We are all very (impatiently) excited for Z’s arrival, but in the interim the pregnancy has gotten increasingly uncomfortable for […]
