Problems that only a non-traditional pro-lifer would understand

  1. Many people don't believe it's possible to be pro-life and non-religious/liberal/libertarian/feminist/LGBT/whatever.
  2. You could be extremely feminist, pro-LGBT+, sex-positive, indifferent (and even hostile) towards organized religion, and anything but conservative, but as soon as people find out you're pro-life, they assume you're misogynistic, anti-LGBT+, anti-liberty, extremely conservative, and a religious fanatic.
  3. You try to find pro-life events in your area, but they're all mixed up with other social conservative crap you don't support.
  4. When trying to figure out how to help the pro-life cause, people just suggest that you pray. (Personally, I do pray, but that's not the only way I want to advocate... also, I don't like praying in public, so 40 Days for Life is out...)
  5. You're sick of conservative Christian bias in mainstream pro-life groups, even those that claim to be non-denominational.
  6. You're sick of the pro-life movement being connected with conservative Christianity.
  7. If you're not already one, you're tempted to become an atheist just to prove that pro-life atheists exist! Or whatever...
  8. Even when conservative Christian pro-lifers accept you into the movement, you feel uncomfortable because they're all talking about stuff you can't relate to.
  9. When trying to work with other causes you support (that "normal" pro-lifers wouldn't), they expect you to be pro-choice, and it gets really awkward.
  10. You want to volunteer at a crisis pregnancy center, but most of the ones you know of will only hire socially conservative Christians.
