Women say they grieve but don’t regret abortion. Is that a contradiction?

March 3, 2023/in Miscarriage & Pregnancy Loss, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

When discussing whether women regret abortion, I think people are using different meanings of the word “regret.” Some mean feeling remorse over an event or wishing it had gone differently. Others mean feeling sorrow or otherwise suffering. The ideas are similar but not identical. The distinction is important when we discuss whether women regret their […]

When miscarriage is an emotional crisis, medical professionals can help.

February 20, 2023/in Miscarriage & Pregnancy Loss, Uncategorized, Your Stories /by Monica Snyder

The journal Narrative Inquiry in Bioethics recently published an issue focused on how people are affected by pregnancy loss. I’m grateful to say my story was one of those chosen for publication. I’ve talked about my experiences with miscarriage in blog posts before (especially Our cultural gaslighting of women who miscarry before 20 weeks and […]

Do Pro-Life Laws Endanger Women’s Lives?

December 2, 2022/0 Comments/in Legislation, laws, and court cases, Miscarriage & Pregnancy Loss, Research /by Daniel Gump

By Daniel Gump (This article originally appeared on The Pro-Life Review.) It is often claimed by abortion proponents that induced abortions are “coded” the same as many other medical procedures. They also claim that physicians and pharmacists have withheld emergency treatments from patients to avoid any legal gray areas in states where induced abortions are […]

Important Research on Grief After Miscarriage

September 23, 2022/0 Comments/in Miscarriage & Pregnancy Loss, Research, Uncategorized /by Guest Blogger

The loss of a child is well known to be a type of grief that can lead to a couple struggling emotionally, even to the point of struggling to stay together—but what if the child is lost in pregnancy? What if the loss is so early that those outside of the couple’s circle may not […]

Our miscarried children weren’t parasites.

July 23, 2022/0 Comments/in Biology, Miscarriage & Pregnancy Loss, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

(Transcript below video.) Transcript: When pro-choice people conceptualize the embryo as a parasite, and pathologize pregnancy as our body’s failure to rid ourselves of a parasite, there’s another element of that discourse that I want to touch on. And that is how this kind of framing affects people who have experienced pregnancy loss. I have […]

Treatment for Ectopic Pregnancy is Not Abortion

July 11, 2022/1 Comment/in Biology, Miscarriage & Pregnancy Loss /by John Bockmann

[Today’s guest article is by John Bockmann.] Ectopic pregnancy can be a life-threatening emergency for a pregnant woman. It’s the leading cause of maternal mortality in the first trimester, when most induced abortions occur. That’s probably why it’s drawn a lot of attention, especially since legal, non-therapeutic abortion is no longer guaranteed everywhere in the […]

Responding to 16 pro-choice claims about Dobbs, the pro-life movement, and abortion bans

June 27, 2022/3 Comments/in Adoption and Foster Care, Legislation, laws, and court cases, Miscarriage & Pregnancy Loss, Pro-Life Demographics, Religion, Research, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

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 […]

The phrase “spontaneous abortion” is not pro-choice propaganda.

January 20, 2022/0 Comments/in Miscarriage & Pregnancy Loss, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

“Spontaneous abortion” is the medical term for a miscarriage. Many people have expressed confusion and hurt regarding this phrase, believing that it’s trying to equivocate between a miscarriage and an elective abortion or that it’s suggesting a woman gets an abortion casually. As someone who has had two miscarriages, I understand the gravity and sensitivity […]
