- Many people don't believe it's possible to be pro-life and non-religious/liberal/libertarian/feminist/LGBT/whatever.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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...)
- You're sick of conservative Christian bias in mainstream pro-life groups, even those that claim to be non-denominational.
- You're sick of the pro-life movement being connected with conservative Christianity.
- If you're not already one, you're tempted to become an atheist just to prove that pro-life atheists exist! Or whatever...
- 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.
- 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.
- You want to volunteer at a crisis pregnancy center, but most of the ones you know of will only hire socially conservative Christians.
