This week, a social campaign was launched in yet another attack on the work of pregnancy centers, comparing them and their services to those of “fake dentists.” These “crisis pregnancy centers” (CPCs) are apparently out to deter women from completely safe, risk- and side effect-free procedures and are solely motivated by their desire to “force…
If you are on social media, watch cable news, or know a millennial, you may have heard the phrase “Safe Space.” We have seen these spaces take shape, predominantly, on college campuses, but today I want to let you in on a little secret. These spaces were not started by my generation, millennials, to air…
Lately it seems like abortion proponents have fallen in love with pointing out what they see as a glaring hypocrisy in the pro-life position: that those supposedly pro-life types are only pro-life when it comes to a fetus, but hate the lives of those who are already born. You’re not pro-life, they say, merely pro-birth….

I was 17 and preparing to graduate high school when I found out I was 3 months pregnant. I was scared. I didn’t know what to do. I felt stuck. I wasn’t ready for a baby yet. I had my whole life ahead of me. I felt ashamed and angry for getting myself in the…
This article was originally published by Roland C. Waren on Care Net’s Abundant Life blog on June 20, 2017. Awhile back, I wrote a post titled, “Knowing when human life begins – it’s in our pay grade” that addressed Pastor Rick Warren’s conversation with then presidential candidate Barack Obama about his abortion position. A central point of my argument…
I learned that I was pregnant at the age of eighteen, shortly after moving in with my boyfriend. Feeling scared and insecure, I didn’t know how a baby would fit into my future. Upon seeking counsel from friends and family, it seemed logical to consider abortion as an option. After all, I was young, pretty,…

My name is Christie. When I was a sophomore in high school, I was overcome with what I’d now call infatuation. Although, at 15-years-old, I thought it was love.

This post originally appeared on Secular Pro-Life Perspectives and was written by Caitlin Fikes.

This true story was submitted to us by Elisha C. Fear is an emotion we learn at an early age, some sooner than others. Kind of like my two-year-old, Mason. He will excitedly climb all the way to the tip-top of a ladder with a huge smile. With each step, while reaching for the next…
It’s been four years since Netflix began producing and releasing its own content for the world to consume (or shall I say “binge”).
