ACOG has spoken: 13 phrases we no longer are supposed to use regarding abortion

March 18, 2022/0 Comments/in Biology, Late-Term Abortion, Medication Abortion, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

Responding to 7 pro-choice claims about embryonic hearts

February 23, 2022/0 Comments/in Biology, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

1. Embryos don’t have hearts. They have groups of pulsing cells where the heart will eventually form. The embryonic period is defined as the first stage of the pregnancy up to 11 weeks gestation. The embryonic heart–including atria, ventricles, and related structures–is present by 6 weeks gestation. We have collected multiple scientific and medical sources […]

If SCOTUS wants to stay out of religious debates, it should overturn Roe v. Wade

I originally wrote this article for TownHall. Reprinted here with permission. On December 1 the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the case debating the constitutionality of Mississippi’s Gestational Age Act, which many believe may lead to the Supreme Court weakening or overturning Roe v. Wade. Justice Sonia Sotomayor […]

Getting an ultrasound the morning the Texas Heartbeat Law went into effect

December 6, 2021/0 Comments/in Biology, Miscarriage & Pregnancy Loss, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

I grieved (and still grieve), but I also knew that pregnancies with multiples often have problems, and I was not afraid to try […]

Pro-choice public writing professor deletes source showing embryos have hearts
