Today’s guest post is written by Nick Colgrove, who has a PhD in philosophy and has published about ectogenesis (artificial wombs) and personhood. SPL has summarized his work previously.

WeCount describes themselves as a “national abortion reporting effort.” Their report focuses on the number of abortions in the United States in the 12 month period after Dobbs (July 2022 through June 2023), […]
Abortion proponents sometimes claim that a family grieving miscarriage did not lose an unborn child but only “a pregnancy” or a “clump of cells.” The clump of cells narrative is not only callous but also ignorant to centuries of scientific discoveries by embryological pioneers like Dr. John Burns (Burns’s Obstetrical Works, 1809), Dr. John B.
