A variety of reasons not to criminalize women who abort

August 11, 2025/in Legislation, Laws & Court Cases, Miscarriage & Pregnancy Loss, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

In 2022, SPL signed a coalition letter opposing criminalizing women who get abortions. Recently, an SPL supporter emailed me expressing disappointment that we had signed this letter. He asked how abortion can ever be stigmatized if the government doesn’t care enough about it to prosecute women who get abortions. We exchanged several emails about it. […]

That seems kind of weird, right? […]

Minnesota lawsuit argues coerced abortions violate parental rights

July 21, 2025/in Legislation, Laws & Court Cases, Uncategorized /by Guest Blogger

Today’s article is a guest submission, and the author asked to remain anonymous. In November 2024, three mothers—each of whom were subjected to involuntary and unwanted abortions—filed suit in federal court challenging the constitutionality of Minnesota’s abortion laws. The mothers are joined by two pregnancy resource centers, two physicians, and NIFLA. The claims were brought […]

Bill to Repeal FACE Act Passes Committee

June 11, 2025/in Legislation, Laws & Court Cases, Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

That disparity is thanks to the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, a gift to the abortion industry passed under the Clinton administration. The FACE […]
