[Today’s guest article is by an anonymous author.] It’s been strange watching various reactions to Dobbs overturning Roe. Both pro-lifers and pro-choicers have insisted that society should focus on the reality of women no longer having abortion to use as a solution to crisis pregnancy. They worry whether we are properly equipped for their needs. […]
No one ever thought things could get this wild. With the recent leakage of the Supreme Court’s draft opinion in the Dobbs case, pro-choice activists have taken to the streets in protest of the possible overturning of Roe v. Wade. While most of the protests have been peaceful, a number of pro-choice people have grown […]
Roe is on the rocks. If the draft majority opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson obtained by Politico holds, the landmark ruling declaring there to be a constitutional right to elective abortion will be, as former Vice President Mike Pence once put it, thrown in “the ash heap of history.” Ignoring the reality that there is […]

He works primarily in the ER of a women’s hospital in a large metropolitan area and has experience with first- and second-trimester pregnancy emergencies. He routinely uses bedside ultrasound in a broad variety of applications. Recently […]
One of the most common asides in the midst of a discussion about abortion policy is that a cult of misogynistic old men are driving the activism from the anti-abortion side—this is often implied, and sometimes explicitly said, to be proof positive of the insidious anti-women agenda at the core of the pro-life movement.
