[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 […]

There are a lot of myths about late-term abortion in the United States. One of the most common is the idea that post-viability elective abortion is illegal everywhere. That is definitely untrue.

Warren Hern is one of the few people in the United States who openly performs abortions even after 24 weeks gestation. He performs abortions in Colorado, one of a handful of states that have no gestational limits on abortion — that is, it is legal to perform abortion for any reason at any point in […]
[Update December 2022: Here is a video summary of this blog post. Scroll past the video to see a written version of the same concepts.] Above: a 28-week-old baby I don’t know about you, but I often use the data brought to my attention by the SPL blog post “More evidence that most late-term […]
