On the 25th of May this year, when Ireland paved the way for legalized abortion through the repeal of the Eighth Amendment, many Repealers claimed that this was a final severing of the Catholic Church’s control in Ireland and real liberation for Irish women.

I started volunteering at my local secular crisis pregnancy center in the greater Seattle area, for 6 hours a week, in early September. It’s been several months and I already feel like I have learned a lot, not only about how to fold baby clothes into bundles or how to take clients in, but also […]
With its recent addition of Justice Kavanaugh, the Supreme Court now has five Republican-appointed judges who may vote in favor of overturning or significantly compromising Roe v. Wade. Additionally, Justice Kavanaugh and his colleagues may have the opportunity to make this decision relatively soon. Earlier this year, Iowa passed a “heartbeat bill” banning abortion after […]
Democratic presidential hopeful Richard Ojeda, who launched his campaign last month, recently eviscerated any hope that he’d represent a relatively moderate alternative to his party’s stance on abortion.

This preference even appears in the debate about the legality of abortions. A common argument pro-choicers pose is that a woman should get an abortion if she is not […]
When I was a child, my baby sister died just two days before her delivery date when my mom’s uterus ruptured unexpectedly—the result of my Caesarean birth just four years earlier. It was the first real tragedy my parents faced in their marriage, and she just happened to die on the anniversary of Roe v. […]
I don’t think any man is prepared for hearing that a pregnancy he helped create may be the cause of death for the mother of his child. I know the father of my child wasn’t prepared to hear that, but he did nonetheless. In his words: “You hear people say a person could die having […]
