(Secular Pro-Life<\/a>)\u00a0We asked our Facebook followers: “For those of you who used to be pro-choice, what made you change your mind?” The post blew up<\/a>, with hundreds of thoughtful comments. Here are just a few of our favorites.<\/p>\n

Jamie S.:<\/b> Actually listening to pro-life people instead of just dismissing them, and researching the science of the developing embryo as my unborn baby developed inside of me. I began questioning what I was actually fighting for – what could be more important than the tiny little life that was growing inside of me, whose sole protector was me?<\/p>\n

Bradley B.:<\/b>\u00a0I hate to admit this but it was one of those great big billboards showing baby remains on my college campus. In my case it was an arm and a torso next to a dime. It was just so visceral and made me truly stop and consider what we are doing.<\/p>\n

Maribel L.:<\/b> First sonogram of my little bean, who we then lost. Completely solidified when I saw my 26 weeker grow in an incubator. I saw his eyelashes grow out during his stay. You can’t convince me that is NOT a person in the womb, no matter the gestational age.<\/p>\n

Tess S.:\u00a0<\/b>Basically realizing that it was inconsistent to support abortion being legal only in the first trimester if abortion needs to be available because of bodily autonomy. I never agreed with late-term abortion but I thought it should be legal in the first trimester. Eventually I came to realize that the only really consistent positions to take was either the pro-life position or allow abortion basically up until birth. I thought about how generally speaking we see humans as valuable because of what they are, regardless of ability or age.<\/p>\n

Chad K.:<\/b> Science made me change my mind.<\/p>\n
