Master post: 21+ week abortions usually aren’t medically necessary

February 26, 2019/0 Comments/in Late-Term Abortion, Research /by Monica Snyder

[Update 10/28/22: We have moved these resources to a landing page here. Going forward any additional resources will be added to the landing page, rather than this blog post.] Despite conventional wisdom, there’s zero quantifiable data to support the idea that all or even most late-term abortions are medically necessary. Defining our terms. First, the […]

Dear Hillary Clinton: late-term abortions are *not* “almost always” medically necessary.

February 12, 2019/0 Comments/in Late-Term Abortion /by Monica Snyder

On September 20, 2015, HRC appeared on CBS’ “Face the Nation” and stated: I think that the kind of late-term abortions that take place are because of medical necessity. And, therefore, I would hate to see the government interfering with that decision.  FactCheck.org took Clinton to task for this claim [emphasis added]: A spokesman for […]

Responding to 8 common pro-choice claims about late-term abortion.

February 1, 2019/0 Comments/in Late-Term Abortion, Research /by Monica Snyder

In the wake of New York’s Reproductive Health Act, I’ve seen a lot of pro-choice assertions about late-term abortion that I’d like to address here. 1. Pro-lifers actually think New York legalized abortion up until birth! It’s ridiculous. No one is legalizing abortion into the ninth month. The Reproductive Health Act allows abortion for any reason up […]

Is Gosnell America’s “Biggest Serial Killer”?

October 24, 2018/0 Comments/in Late-Term Abortion /by Monica Snyder

This post contains quotes, summaries, and descriptions from the grand jury report regarding Kermit Gosnell. Much of this information is very disturbing, including graphic descriptions of violence. NBC published a review of the Gosnell movie by Robin Marty. She didn’t like the film. In particular she took exception to the moniker “America’s Biggest Serial Killer,” saying: […]

Even third trimester abortions are done for non-medical reasons.

September 10, 2018/0 Comments/in Late-Term Abortion /by Monica Snyder

We’ve written before (part 1, part 2) about how most late-term abortions are elective, i.e. performed for non-medical reasons (maternal or fetal). The data we’ve been able to find looks at abortions after the first trimester but doesn’t get specific about third trimester abortions. It may not even be possible to find quantifiable data on […]

Late term abortion and pro-choice ableism

February 6, 2017/0 Comments/in Ableism, Late-Term Abortion /by Monica Snyder

In the UK, abortion is legal up to 24 weeks typically—but in cases where the fetus has disabilities, the woman can obtain abortion at any time throughout pregnancy. Recently a UK lawmaker with disabilities, Lord Kevin Shinkwin, spoke out about this double standard: I can see from the trends in abortion on grounds of disability […]

More evidence that most late-term abortions are elective

December 16, 2016/0 Comments/in Late-Term Abortion /by LN

Two months ago I wrote the post “No, most late-term abortions are not medically necessary,” in which I used Guttmacher data to show that at least 75% of 13+ week abortions are elective (that is, they are not performed due to fetal or maternal health concerns). I said: One could argue that the proportion of […]

CDC: Gruesome Late-Term Abortion Methods Still Being Used

November 30, 2016/0 Comments/in Late-Term Abortion /by Kelsey Hazzard

Last week, the CDC released its annual abortion surveillance report (for 2013, because it’s always behind). The big story the media picked up from it was that the American abortion rate has once again hit a record low. Of course, that’s welcome news. But dig deeper, and the report also contains some extremely disturbing findings. […]

No, most late-term abortions are not medically necessary.

October 20, 2016/0 Comments/in Late-Term Abortion /by LN

[Editor’s note: This post was originally published on July 13, 2016 and has recently been updated.] When it comes to The Abortion Debate™, both sides often try to focus on facets which make the opposition look worst. For example, pro-lifers like to talk about late-term abortions. Pro-choicers like to talk about rape and medically necessary […]

Apparently protecting embryos is more extreme than severing babies’ spines.

May 31, 2016/0 Comments/in Late-Term Abortion /by Monica Snyder

Pro-choice activists mock the most socially unpalatable aspects of the pro-life position. Broadly speaking, pro-lifers believe human life is morally relevant when the human organism begins: as a zygote. This means we oppose killing not only fetuses, but also embryos and zygotes. And so, while we primarily object to surgical abortion, many of us also […]
