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 […]

Testing biological tissue for abortion drugs

July 12, 2024/in Abortion pills, Biology, Research, Uncategorized /by Petra Wallenmeyer

Photo Credit Chromatograph on Unsplash Two studies explain proof of concept for testing for the presence of abortion drugs after a pregnancy loss using a highly specific process: ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) coupled with triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (QqQ-MS/MS) (coupled as UHPLC-QqQ-MS/MS). Here, I will walk through what exactly this testing process is and how […]

December 1, 2023/in Biology, Personhood, Philosophy, Uncategorized /by Acyutananda
