Society of Family Planning: how to induce fetal asystole (baby heart attack)

October 23, 2024 in Later Abortion, Research, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

[This article is a transcript of “Why do abortion providers need to ‘induce fetal asystole’?” courtesy of volunteer Ben Tomlin. If you’re interested in volunteering to transcribe more of our content, please complete our volunteer survey.] (Video is also available on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube) Have you ever had a pro-choice person tell you that there’s […]

Is later abortion only 1% of all abortions?

October 21, 2024 in Later Abortion, Research, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

Secular Pro-Life regularly shares citations and statistics concerning later abortion, including the many reasons the topic is worth its own discussion. When we bring this up, pro-choice people will often counter with, “Later abortion is only 1% of all abortions performed.” Of course 1% of approximately one million abortions a year is still an alarmingly […]

Recap: Building Bridges presentation in upstate New York

October 18, 2024 in Speeches, Discussions, Presentations, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

Over 10 months ago, a woman named June reached out to ask me to present Building Bridges to her parish sometime in 2024. June is a member of the parish council of St. Joseph’s in New Paltz, New York, where they host lecture series on a variety of social issues important to Catholics. They’ve covered […]

Recapping the Arizona Prop 139 rally

October 9, 2024 in Speeches, Discussions, Presentations, They Can Hear You, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

Last week I joined SPL supporters to rally in Phoenix against Prop 139.  Arizona already allows elective abortion until 15 weeks, but apparently that’s not enough for abortion advocates. They’re fighting for the “right” to abort viable children. It’s grotesque extremism, and we had some thoughts we wanted to share.  Before the rally even began, press […]

Pro-abortion lexicon: don’t say “heartbeat” or “living”

October 7, 2024 in Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

[This article is a transcript of “Pro-abortion lexicon: don’t say ‘living’” courtesy of volunteer Ben Tomlin. If you’re interested in volunteering to transcribe more of our content, please complete our volunteer survey.] Okay, are you ready for this mouthful: “A Lexicon for First-Trimester Ultrasounds: Society of Radiologists in Ultrasound Consensus Conference Recommendations.” They’re trying to […]

“Why don’t you block the pro-choice trolls?”

September 30, 2024 in Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

At SPL, we regularly get messages from followers asking us to block “pro-choice trolls.” Some thoughts. Recognize the difference between a troll versus someone who is simply pro-choice and disagrees. The pro-choice person disagreeing might not always be the epitome of honesty and politeness (neither are some pro-lifers), but there’s still a distinction. There are […]

Rally with us in Phoenix!

September 28, 2024 in Administrative, Later Abortion, Legislation, laws, & court cases, SPL Emails, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

Photo Credit Secular Pro-Life On October 4 I’m joining SPL’s Board VP (and PAAU’s founder), Terrisa Bukovinac to rally in Phoenix against Prop 139. Arizona already allows elective abortion until 15 weeks, but apparently that’s not enough for abortion advocates. They’re fighting for the “right” to abort viable children. It’s grotesque extremism, and we have […]

Premature infant death leads to murder charge. What does that have to do with abortion?

September 27, 2024 in Legislation, laws, & court cases, Miscarriage & Pregnancy Loss, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

Much of this info available as a tweet thread here. As seen on Twitter/X: So the South Carolina abortion ban directly resulted in a woman being charged with murder for a miscarriage? That sounds awful. Also really strange, because South Carolina’s abortion law sprecifically does not allow criminal prosecution of women who get abortions. Here […]

No, Texas maternal mortality didn’t “skyrocket” after heartbeat law

September 25, 2024 in Legislation, laws, & court cases, Research, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

Under the “abortion rights” section of NBC’s website, they have “A dramatic rise in pregnant women dying in Texas after abortion ban.” The article is a summary of an unpublished analysis from the Gender Equity Policy Insitute (GEPI). I searched their website and couldn’t find any recent reports related to Texas. I can’t look at […]

“How many third trimester abortions happened in the last decade, and where?”

September 23, 2024 in Later Abortion, Research, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

During this month’s presidential debate, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris had the following exchange: Trump: Will she allow abortion in the 8th month, 9th month, 7th month?Harris: *eyeroll* c’monTrump: Under Roe v Wade you could do abortions in the 7th month, the 8th month, the 9th month.Harris: That’s not true.
