July 31, 2024/in Research, Uncategorized /by Virginia Pride

Photo Credit Virginia Pride The words “fertility awareness” may invoke different responses from people, depending on what the person has actually been told about it. For some, it is (erroneously) viewed as the outdated Calendar Method – an unreliable form of birth control that gets you pregnant more than it doesn’t. Others may have heard […]

There’s a Fortune in Abortion

July 29, 2024/in Abortion pills, Research, Uncategorized /by Sarah Terzo

Dr. Bernard Nathanson After performing or overseeing over 60,000 abortions, Nathanson became pro-life. His conversion was inspired by seeing a preborn baby aborted on ultrasound for the first time. Ultrasound was a relatively new […]

Describing miscarriage as “intrauterine death” threatens abortion rights

July 26, 2024/in Miscarriage & Pregnancy Loss, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

In 2023, Jessalyn Bohn wrote “When Words Fail: ‘Miscarriage,’ Referential Ambiguity, and Psychological Harm.” She called for more precision and sensitivity when describing pregnancy loss. About a year later, Belinda Alievska wrote some reflections of Bohn’s work: The Implications of Revising The Terminology of Pregnancy Loss. Specifically Alievska worried that Bohn’s proposed phrase “intrauterine death” […]

Testing biological tissue for abortion drugs

July 12, 2024/in Abortion pills, Biology, Research, Uncategorized /by Petra Wallenmeyer

Photo Credit Chromatograph on Unsplash Two studies explain proof of concept for testing for the presence of abortion drugs after a pregnancy loss using a highly specific process: ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) coupled with triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (QqQ-MS/MS) (coupled as UHPLC-QqQ-MS/MS). Here, I will walk through what exactly this testing process is and how […]

Checking in on the Trump Veepstakes

July 8, 2024/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

Donald Trump is leading in the polls, and he is expected to announce his running mate soon. Although President Trump nominated Supreme Court Justices who recognized Roe v. Wade as bad law, his more recent comments make it clear that he does not support the right to life for all unborn Americans. (Hey, don’t say […]

The abortion debate no one wants to have

July 3, 2024/in Ableism, They Can Hear You, Uncategorized /by Guest Blogger

Photo Credit Pavol Štugel on Unsplash The following is a reprint from The Chron. This article was authored by Patricia E. Bauer. If it’s unacceptable for William Bennett to link abortion even conversationally with a whole class of people (and, of course, it is), why then do we as a society view abortion as justified and unremarkable […]

Fact-Checking the AP Fact Check

July 1, 2024/in Later Abortion, Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

Infanticide […]
