We’re heading into the final stretch of our punny campaign, Sticky Summer—there’s still time to jump in! Our goal was 31 new monthly donors for the 31 days of August. We have had 25 fabulous people sign up. We only need 6 more people to cross the finish line here. You should be 1 of […]

“How can we reduce abortions while also preventing an increase in maternal mortality?”

August 27, 2025 in Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

I recently received the following email (edited for length): Since the Roe reversal, I’ve noticed that states with stricter abortion laws have seen an increase in maternal deaths. Do you know why this is happening, and what can be done to reverse it? I support reducing abortions, but not if it leads to more mothers […]

A variety of reasons not to criminalize women who abort

August 11, 2025 in Legislation, laws, & court cases, Miscarriage & Pregnancy Loss, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

In 2022, SPL signed a coalition letter opposing criminalizing women who get abortions. Recently, an SPL supporter emailed me expressing disappointment that we had signed this letter. He asked how abortion can ever be stigmatized if the government doesn’t care enough about it to prosecute women who get abortions. We exchanged several emails about it. […]

“Period pills” are abortion pills for people who don’t want abortions

August 4, 2025 in Abortion pills, Research, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

If you want the physical effects of abortion without the psychological impacts, there’s a pill for that. (For all quotes below, emphasis is added.)

The study was conducted primarily by researchers from Advancing New Standards in Reproductive Health […]
