Maternal mortality rates in pro-life vs pro-choice states

April 28, 2025/in Legislation, laws, & court cases, Research, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

On average, maternal mortality rates (MMRs) are higher in states with abortion restrictions than states without them. This has been true since before Dobbs overturned Roe v. Wade, and remains true today. Controlling the variables Abortion proponents will point to this correlation and then suggest or outright claim this shows that abortion restrictions are dangerous […]

April 25, 2025/in Legislation, laws, & court cases, Philosophy, Research, Uncategorized /by Elise Ketch

Secular Pro-Life Submits Brief to Supreme Court

April 23, 2025/in Legislation, laws, & court cases, Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

In 2000, the Supreme Court decided Hill v. Colorado, upholding a “buffer zone” of censorship outside abortion facility entrances.
