How doctors can build trust with parents of children with Trisomy 13 or 18

August 26, 2024/in Ableism, Research, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

I recently read this article in the journal Palliative Medicine: Building trust and improving communication with parents of children with Trisomy 13 and 18. Trisomy 13 and 18 are common life-limiting conditions associated with major disabilities. This article explores the experiences of parents of children with Trisomy 13 or 18, focusing on the parents’ interactions […]

How secular pro-choicers become secular pro-lifers

August 23, 2024/in Pro-Life Demographics, Religion, Uncategorized, We Asked You Answered /by Monica Snyder

In mid-July we launched our survey of non-traditional pro-lifers. Respondents described their religious views and whether they’ve always opposed abortion. Those who haven’t always opposed abortion elaborated on what changed their minds. Below is a selection of those answers from people who described themselves as “atheist” or “agnostic.” You can also see many similar answers […]

“Aborting my baby.” Women describe their aborted embryos as their children.

August 21, 2024/in Miscarriage & Pregnancy Loss, Uncategorized, Your Stories /by Monica Snyder

Many pro-choicers think of embryos and fetuses as “clumps of cells.” They may mean figuratively (philosophically unimportant biomatter) or literally (spheres of undifferentiated cells). Either way, these pro-choicers often act as if only zealous anti-abortion activists view embryos as human beings. They dismiss the idea that embryos are children as a niche and archaic religious […]

Stories of Prenatal Diagnosis: B. M.

August 19, 2024/in Ableism, Uncategorized, Your Stories /by Guest Blogger

A prenatal diagnosis is often accompanied by the pressure to abort, leaving most parents feeling unsupported by the medical community and society at large. In our series “Stories of Prenatal Diagnosis,” we share testimonies of parents who received a diagnosis while pregnant and their personal experience in handling it. Today’s story is from “B. M.” […]

We asked, you answered: Times the pro-life movement made you feel welcome

August 16, 2024/in Pro-Life Demographics, Uncategorized, We Asked You Answered /by Monica Snyder

Pro-lifers are stereotyped as older religious (Christian) conservative straight white men. And while we want older Christian conservative straight white men to be pro-life, we know that these six characteristics are ill-fitting descriptions of millions of the people who oppose abortion. We describe these groups as the “non-traditional” pro-lifers. Sometimes non-traditional pro-lifers have a tenuous […]

Medical community, ableism, and Trisomy 18

Trisomy 18 ‘fatality’ ignores worth of born, living children with the condition Important article for your consideration: “Texas woman seeking abortion argued Trisomy 18 is lethal. Michigan children prove it’s not.” The article profiles several families in Michigan with children with Trisomy 18. One such family is that of Jewel and her daughter, CC: “CC […]

We asked, you answered: How could the pro-life movement be more accessible?

August 9, 2024/in Pro-Life Demographics, Uncategorized, We Asked You Answered /by Monica Snyder

Pro-lifers are stereotyped as older religious (Christian) conservative straight white men. Much of this stereotype is reinforced externally by pro-choicers as well as major cultural institutions (e.g. media, Hollywood). Often pro-choicers try to draw rigid tribal lines and use them to sidestep actual debate (“no uterus, no opinion,” “stop pushing your religion on everyone,” etc). […]

The Facts on Fetal Pain

August 7, 2024/in Biology, Research, Uncategorized /by Guest Blogger

Photo Credit Robina Weermeijer on Unsplash. Today’s guest blog was submitted anonymously. Pregnant women, medical professionals, and the general public care about fetal pain and deserve the facts(1,2,3,4). Fetal pain perception is likely by 15-20 weeks gestation(5,6) and possible by 12 weeks(7,8,9). Pro-choice medical associations, however, state that the fetus undergoing an induced abortion is […]

Ask a Pro-Life Agnostic: Sam Lockley

August 5, 2024/in Religion, Uncategorized, Your Stories /by Kelsey Hazzard

Once a month or so, the Secular Pro-Life blog features a short interview with a pro-life atheist or agnostic. (See the full series of interviews here.) Although Secular Pro-Life is not exclusively for atheists and agnostics, historically they have played a key role in the organization. As they become more prominent in the pro-life movement generally, we’re […]
