June 27, 2024/in Ableism, Later Abortion, Legislation, laws, & court cases, Research, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

A transcription of the video, with source links and post-video notes, follows. A new study purports to show an increase in infant mortality in Texas due to their Heartbeat Bill: their September 2021, approximately six week abortion ban.

June 12, 2024/in Ableism, Adoption & Foster Care, Uncategorized, Your Stories /by Kelsey Hazzard

May 17, 2024/in Ableism, Uncategorized, Your Stories /by Guest Blogger

Is Abortion the Answer When the Baby Will Die?

April 8, 2024/in Ableism, Miscarriage & Pregnancy Loss, Research, Uncategorized /by Sarah Terzo

This article originally appeared on Sarah Terzo’s Substack. You can read more of her articles here. Pro-abortion activists often say that when someone is pregnant with a baby expected to die, abortion is the compassionate answer. This isn’t the case for the baby. And studies show it’s also not the case for the parents. Is […]

Arrow was prenatally diagnosed with Trisomy 13. Doctors didn’t tell her Arrow could survive.

March 13, 2024/in Ableism, They Can Hear You, Uncategorized, Your Stories /by Guest Blogger

March is Trisomy Awareness Month. Trisomies are conditions when, instead of having the typical two copies of a chromosome, someone has three copies. Probably the most well known trisomy is Trisomy 21, or Down syndrome, which is caused by a third copy of the 21st chromosome (which is why Down Syndrome Awareness Day is 3/21). […]

Unconscious bias in prenatal diagnosis leading to abortion

October 23, 2023/in Ableism, Legislation, laws, & court cases, Research, Uncategorized /by Virginia Pride

“We were offered a termination 4 other times because my baby was like me.”

October 18, 2023/in Ableism, They Can Hear You, Uncategorized, Your Stories /by Monica Snyder

I was moved by this Twitter thread from Nina Tame. I’m reprinting it here for your consideration. There is no room in the medical model for any neutrality around disability. It’s always a devastating tragedy. I’m an adult with Spina Bifida, a birth “defect.” I’m a horror show of a worse case scenario because I’m […]
