On December 6, 2021, The Linacre Quarterly published Dr. Bridget Thill’s dissertation “Fetal Pain in the First Trimester.” The article is written for a medical audience, with over 100 references to research in medical journals published from 1936 through 2021. If you can read the entire article, do, but for those who aren’t able to, […]
Today during the Rehumanize International Conference, SPL Executive Director Monica Snyder is giving her presentation “Deconstructing Three Pro-Choice Myths.” Below are all the sources she used for today’s version of the presentation. Myth #1: Biologically, we don’t know when human life begins. Articles: “Republicans Need to Be Countered on False Claims About Embryos,” Scott F. Gilbert, […]
Mother Jones, a left-leaning outlet hostile to the lives of children in the womb, recently published an article about abortions after 15 weeks, sometimes called “late-term” abortions. A Mississippi law protecting children 15 weeks and older from abortion will come before the Supreme Court in the fall. Author Becca Andrews criticizes her fellow abortion advocates’ […]
Watch the full live stream of the rally here. Multiple pro-life organizations rallied outside the offices of the US Attorney General to demand indictment of Planned Parenthood (and its business partners) for fetal organ harvesting and organ trafficking after three years of an open investigation. Signs with messages such as “PP sells body parts” put succinctly […]
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.

[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 […]
[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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
