Colorado allows abortion for any reason through all 9 months. Help us change that: blog.secularprolife.org/2020/09/colora… #Yeson115 #DueDateTooLate
Colorado's incredibly lax abortion laws are extreme by both national and international standards: only seven countries in the world allow unrestricted abortion after 20 weeks, including such champions of human rights as Vietnam, North Korea, and China.
This is the company Colorado currently keeps, dramatically out of step with the views and ethics of most of its population.

Late-term abortion is not rare and it's not performed exclusively (or even primarily) for dire medical reasons.
CO late-term abortionist Warren Hern openly admits he performs 3rd trimester abortions for non-medical reasons, & he has published research explaining that even the "medically necessary" late-term abortions include such trivialities as a child having extra fingers or a cleft lip.
In a 20-year period, about 1/4 of the fetal anomaly abortions Hern's clinic performed were simply because the children had Down syndrome. Keep in mind that babies born as early as 22 weeks can survive and grow into healthy infants, and the odds of doing so rise dramatically...
...with each passing week. If, like me, you find Colorado's status quo abhorrent and grotesque, here's your chance to fight back. This November, Coloradans will have the opportunity to vote on Proposition 115, which bans abortion in the state after 22 weeks.

Secular Pro-Life was hard at work in 2023! Read our year in review: secularprolife.org/2023/12/secula…
In January, we attended the March for Life, where we spoke at the Rehumanize meetup and networked at the National Pro-Life Summit. Later that same month we endorsed the Post-Roe Future vision statement, and Kelsey spoke on a panel at St. Thomas University School of Law.
In February, Monica was published in Narrative Inquiry in Bioethics & spoke on Support After Abortion’s webinar “Meeting Clients Across Different Belief Systems.” We joined a broad coalition for #StopAbortionRX, protesting CVS and Walgreens for their plans to sell abortion drugs.

No, I don't think we should be investigating miscarriages to prove they aren't abortions, for several reasons. 🧵
First, we don't even call for the investigation of every woman who aborts, much less every woman who miscarries. In general pro-lifers want to ban abortion, but not criminalize women seeking abortions. I touched on some reasons for that in this vid: 2/tiktok.com/@secular_pro_l…
Second, we'd know in advance these investigations would involve harassing and potentially re-traumatizing hundreds of thousands of parents at the very moment they are going through the emotional crises of losing their children through miscarriage. 3/

Pro-choice and pro-life people view abortion in cases of fetal anomaly very differently. Here are some of the major points of disagreement (speaking generally, of course there will always be exceptions). 🧵
Pro-choicers often don’t view fetuses as people or children, but as *potential* people. Pro-lifers view fetuses as people and children *right now.*
Pro-choicers generally view abortion for fetal anomaly as a kind of euthanasia and a mercy to prevent future suffering. Pro-lifers view it as choosing to kill children because they have certain disabilities.

I want elective abortion outlawed, but in a way that women who are facing medical emergencies can get life-saving care. I share that perspective with maybe every pro-lifer I have ever worked with. And the Kate Cox case leaves me concerned.

If you'd rather listen than read: tiktok.com/@secular_pro_l…
Lots of pro-choicers saying pro-lifers want women to suffer and die. This is equivalent to pro-lifers saying pro-choicers want to kill babies (in this case, specifically disabled babies). It's a bad faith, question-begging take, and entirely unpersuasive.
