Allie Beth Stuckey thought she was staunchly pro-life—until a Facebook stranger challenged her assumptions with one powerful question. What followed was a dramatic shift in her entire worldview.

Conservative commentator and BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey shocked fans this week by sharing that she once held what she called a “pro-choice without realizing it” position on abortion. Despite being raised in a Christian household and calling herself pro-life for years, she admits that her views were more nuanced—until one online comment radically reshaped how she saw the issue.

Speaking on her show Relatable, Stuckey recounted how a seemingly innocent Facebook post led to a spiritual and moral reckoning. “I’ve always considered myself pro-life,” she explained. “But I adopted what I thought was the Republican, compassionate position—opposing abortion except for rare cases like rape, incest, or fetal anomaly.”

Thinking she had found the middle ground, she shared that viewpoint online—only to be hit with a comment that stopped her cold.

A stranger replied, “What’s the difference between a baby conceived in rape and a baby not conceived in rape?”

“That comment stopped me in my tracks,” Stuckey said. “It flipped a switch in my brain.”

From there, she began re-evaluating her entire framework. Despite her belief that abortion was wrong, she realized she had still been thinking about the issue politically—not morally. “I was viewing it as an abstract idea, a policy issue, not from the perspective of the baby,” she admitted. “And not really as murder.”

Her realization went deeper: the value of a human life doesn’t fluctuate based on how that life came into existence.

“The humanity of that person that’s being killed does not change based on the circumstances surrounding its conception,” she said.

It wasn’t a sermon, a book, or a political ad that sparked the change—but a single comment online from someone she’s never met.

“I don’t know who that commenter was, but I’m thankful for them,” Stuckey said. “You just never know how God is going to use your insistence upon speaking the truth in love.”

Now a leading voice for the pro-life movement, Stuckey regularly encourages others to engage in those difficult conversations—even if they seem small or unimportant at the time.
