Responding to the “Pro-Birth” Accusation

March 30, 2022/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Guest Blogger

One of the most common outside (and even inside) criticisms of the pro-life movement is that it lacks concern for born life. The late comedian George Carlin expressed the common iteration of this view in a standup: “Pro-life conservatives are obsessed with the fetus from conception to nine months. After that, they don’t want to […]

What’s so special about eugenic abortion: a Down syndrome parent sends notes from the battlefield

March 21, 2022/1 Comment/in Ableism, They Can Hear You, Uncategorized, Your Stories /by Kristina Artuković

Today is World Down Syndrome Day! Did you know? A non-antagonizing piece of information. A picture of a cute kid with Down syndrome. A graphic with socks. Fuzzy inclusive feelings. Too bad it’s not always like that. During my pregnancy with Toma, who happens to have Down syndrome, my husband and I were repeatedly harassed […]

ACOG has spoken: 13 phrases we no longer are supposed to use regarding abortion

March 18, 2022/0 Comments/in Abortion pills, Biology, Later Abortion, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

[This post is available as a Twitter thread here.] Introduction ACOG (the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists) recently released a “Guide to Language and Abortion,” and Quartz covered the guide in their article “13 phrases US doctors want removed from our vocabulary about abortion.” It’s problematic to assume ACOG and “US doctors” are interchangeable […]

The Burning Fertility Clinic Argument Is Not Convincing

March 16, 2022/1 Comment/in Philosophy, Uncategorized /by Alex Hyun

[Today’s guest article is by Alexander Hyun.] If you must choose between saving one newborn and saving five human embryos that are only a few days old, it’s intuitive that you morally ought to save the newborn. This observation forms the basis of the Burning Fertility Clinic Argument, a well-known type of argument against the […]

No, Missouri is not outlawing treatment for ectopic pregnancy

March 14, 2022/1 Comment/in Abortion pills, Legislation, laws, & court cases, Uncategorized /by Sarah St. Onge

A Missouri bill related to medication abortion has been getting a lot of attention: While media hyperbole about abortion restrictions is typical, Missouri’s HB 2810 has confused even some staunch anti-abortion advocates with its mention of ectopic pregnancies. Part of the confusion is most likely due to the presentation of three different changes under two […]

Abortion bans don’t lead to a surplus of unwanted children.

March 9, 2022/0 Comments/in Adoption & Foster Care, Research, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

Some pro-choice people predict that abortion restrictions or bans will lead to a major increase in unwanted children. They occasionally claim abortion restrictions will lead to miserable, trapped mothers and abused, neglected children, an idea that is also behind the (tenuous) connection they draw between abortion restrictions and the foster care system. For example: Several […]
