Pro-abortion publications (such as ProPublica) will even spread misinformation on maternal health and abortion laws in order to argue in favor of abortion legalization. Doing so has […]
There have been many news articles implying or outright claiming that abortion bans have made doctors afraid to manage miscarriage. Often the articles are about (1) women in states with abortion bans who (2) have a missed or incomplete miscarriage (their body does not fully pass the remains of their child on its own) and […]

Much of this info available as a tweet thread here. As seen on Twitter/X: So the South Carolina abortion ban directly resulted in a woman being charged with murder for a miscarriage? That sounds awful. Also really strange, because South Carolina’s abortion law sprecifically does not allow criminal prosecution of women who get abortions. Here […]
The abortion debate is often described as anti-choice people opposing abortion for religious reasons on the one side and pro-choice people supporting abortion for more secular, pluralistic reasons on the other.
