Our miscarried children weren’t parasites.

July 23, 2022/0 Comments/in Biology, Miscarriage & Pregnancy Loss, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

(Transcript below video.) Transcript: When pro-choice people conceptualize the embryo as a parasite, and pathologize pregnancy as our body’s failure to rid ourselves of a parasite, there’s another element of that discourse that I want to touch on. And that is how this kind of framing affects people who have experienced pregnancy loss. I have […]

I’m an emergency physician. Pro-life laws don’t threaten my patients.

July 20, 2022/0 Comments/in Biology, Legislation, laws, and court cases, Uncategorized /by Guest Blogger

I am a practicing emergency physician in Texas. My primary practice location is in a high volume, urban, community ER attached to a hospital providing women’s services, i.e. obstetrics. 20-30% of my daily practice is acute-care obstetric triage and treatment prior to 20 weeks, as well as undifferentiated walk in patients beyond 20 weeks with […]

Some differences between embryos and parasites.

July 19, 2022/0 Comments/in Biology, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

[Esta publicación está disponible en español aquí.] A few people asked us to respond to the “fetus is a parasite” TikTok. We posted some thoughts from Dr. Calum Miller here. I added to his points in this TikTok (transcript below video): Yeah this is not accurate in terms of biology. There’s a lot in it that’s […]

The fetus isn’t a parasite. Stop pathologizing pregnancy.

July 16, 2022/0 Comments/in Biology, Uncategorized /by Guest Blogger

The following post is recreated from a Twitter thread by Dr. Calum Miller. This viral video about fetuses being parasites is honestly the perfect example of what happens when you give a first year undergrad a small bit of technical knowledge and a camera. (I’m not saying she is a first year undergrad – just […]

Treatment for Ectopic Pregnancy is Not Abortion

July 11, 2022/1 Comment/in Biology, Miscarriage & Pregnancy Loss /by John Bockmann

[Today’s guest article is by John Bockmann.] Ectopic pregnancy can be a life-threatening emergency for a pregnant woman. It’s the leading cause of maternal mortality in the first trimester, when most induced abortions occur. That’s probably why it’s drawn a lot of attention, especially since legal, non-therapeutic abortion is no longer guaranteed everywhere in the […]

A Legal History of Induced Abortion in the United States

June 6, 2022/0 Comments/in Biology, Legislation, laws, and court cases, Research, Uncategorized /by Daniel Gump

A recurring flaw with modern claims about induced abortion legality in early America is that they are seen through the lens of modern medicine. However, in the eighteenth century, there were no ultrasound images, no fetal stethoscopes, no home pregnancy tests, and really no way to reliably confirm pregnancy until a woman could feel movement […]

Survey: Physicians Are Far Less Likely to Abort Their Children

April 15, 2022/0 Comments/in Biology, Research, Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

A recent survey published in the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology and covered by MedPage Today had an intriguing finding: Among physicians of reproductive age (45 years or younger), the abortion rate was 10.2%, said researchers led by Morgan Levy, BS, of the University of Miami School of Medicine, and colleagues. Levy said these findings show […]

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

[This post is available as a Twitter thread here.] Introduction ACOG (the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists) recently released a “Guide to Language and Abortion,” and Quartz covered the guide in their article “13 phrases US doctors want removed from our vocabulary about abortion.” It’s problematic to assume ACOG and “US doctors” are interchangeable […]

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 […]
