Kentucky Judge Mitch Perry temporarily enjoined the state’s pro-life laws, laughably claiming that recognition of human life in the womb is an establishment of religion. Ninety-five percent of biologists, including a strong majority of those who consider themselves pro-choice, acknowledge the scientific reality that human life begins at fertilization. Even the Justices who decided Roe […]
I am a practicing emergency physician in Texas. My primary practice location is in a high volume, urban, community ER attached to a hospital providing women’s services, i.e. obstetrics. 20-30% of my daily practice is acute-care obstetric triage and treatment prior to 20 weeks, as well as undifferentiated walk in patients beyond 20 weeks with […]
Secular Pro-Life joined a coalition of dozens of groups, led by Students for Life Action, in an open letter to Congress. The letter forcefully refutes the pro-abortion proposal to establish abortion hubs on federal land. In the wake of Dobbs, desperate abortion industry groups sought any workaround to continue killing unborn babies in pro-life jurisdictions. […]
NPR recently published “Do restrictive abortion laws actually reduce abortion? A global map offers insights.” Correspondent Michaeleen Doucleff begins the article asking “In countries where abortion is illegal, are there fewer abortions?” and then continues “The question sounds simple, but it’s tough to answer.” It’s not a tough question to answer, though. Doucleff answers it […]
If you don’t want to read the 213 page opinion yourself, here are some brief notes I took. First and foremost: “Held: The Constitution does not confer a right to abortion; Roe and Casey are overruled; and the authority to regulate abortion is returned to the people and their elected representatives.” The Court argues that […]
On June 22, we asked our social media followers: “If Dobbs does end up overturning Roe v. Wade, how will you mark the occasion?” Little did we know that Roe would be thrown on the ash heap of history just two days later! Here are a few of our favorite responses: Madison U.: Coincidentally I […]
1. Abortion bans mean women won’t be able to get treatment for ectopic pregnancy. There are currently no abortion laws that outlaw treatment of ectopic pregnancy. Quite the opposite, many state laws explicitly exempt treatment of ectopic pregnancy from their definitions of abortion. For example, last year’s Texas Heartbeat Law incorporated Texas’ Health & Safety […]
As you have surely heard by now, the Supreme Court released its final opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson and officially overturned Roe v. Wade. The majority opinion held that abortion is not a constitutional right, allowing states to enact their own abortion legislation. Although this is not the end of the story—the pro-life movement will […]
A final decision in Dobbs, the case that could finally reverse Roe v. Wade and allow states to protect the right to life, is expected by the end of this month. Keep an eye on the Supreme Court website tomorrow and Thursday for official announcements. Pro-life organizations are organizing “Life is Louder” rallies to mark […]
A recurring flaw with modern claims about induced abortion legality in early America is that they are seen through the lens of modern medicine. However, in the eighteenth century, there were no ultrasound images, no fetal stethoscopes, no home pregnancy tests, and really no way to reliably confirm pregnancy until a woman could feel movement […]
