Secular pro-lifisim
I get the impression a lot of religious types who are pro-life think that the two are inextricably linked. Now on a deep level that may be right (or not) but one of the important things I've learned is that movements, or organizations, should be single purpose. If you can save lives with someone, that person should be your ally for that project, full stop.
When you tell them that they can’t be Democrat and pro-life, just like when you tell people they can’t be atheist and pro-life or feminist and pro-life or whatever other lines you’re drawing, you’re weakening our numbers. You’re weakening our ambassadors. You’re weakening our reach into groups that are not already prone to opposing abortion.
