[Editor’s note: Texas gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis recently disclosed that she had an abortion after her daughter was prenatally diagnosed with a neurological disorder. This post had already been written and the timing is a coincidence.] Last week, in 8 Things “After Tiller” Left Out, we made the point that although the film emphasizes cases […]

Above: the author’s son Noel, who died of natural causes in utero. [Today’s guest post by JoAnna Wahlund is part of our paid blogging program.] I recently saw the movie “The Giver” (and loved it, just as I’ve loved the book since childhood). It’s still fairly fresh in my mind, so perhaps that’s why I […]
[Today’s guest post by Maria Tsikalas is part of our paid blogging program.] Social media is erupting this week in the latest abortion-related controversy: PBS’s decision to air “After Tiller” on Labor Day. “After Tiller” is a documentary that examines the motivations and difficulties of four late-term abortionists—LeRoy Carhart, Warren Hern, Susan Robinson, and Shelley […]

In the last few weeks, the abortion movement has been having a very public identity crisis. Some prominent voices in that movement, including Planned Parenthood, argue that they should drop the label “pro-choice.” The debate is playing itself out in outlets like Alternet and the Washington Post, among others. If not “pro-choice” (and not, they […]
[Today’s guest post by Chandler Klebs is part of our paid blogging program.] Consider this situation: A man chooses to have sex with a woman who he knows will go for an abortion if she gets pregnant. She does get pregnant. She goes to an abortionist, who performs the abortion. Which of the three people […]
I wrote a couple of weeks ago about one of the major problems I have with the bodily autonomy argument: that it’s totally at odds with people’s real-life experiences with abortion. In keeping with that theme, here’s another issue I have with the bodily autonomy argument. If the bodily autonomy argument were genuine, abortion supporters […]
By now you’ve probably heard about the #womenagainstfeminism trend, and all the condemnations and refutations it has prompted. (I sure hope so, because it’s a bit much to summarize.) I am a woman. I am not against feminism. I am very much for feminism. Problem is, those statements depend a lot on what you mean […]
A reader emailed me asking if we could do a piece on the oft-touted statistic that “1 in 3 women will have an abortion in her lifetime” (or “by age 45”). Happy to oblige.
