In the Guardian’s notorious article “What a pregnancy actually looks like before 10 weeks – in pictures,” Senior Staff writer Poppy Noor implied that images of decidua and pulverized embryos after an abortion (and, for some reason, after being rinsed of all blood) were what a “pregnancy” looks like before 10 weeks. She further suggested […]
From time to time we ask our followers “If you used to be pro-choice and you’re now pro-life, tell us why.” We’ve posted some of the answers to that question (and similar questions) here. Among the recurring themes are people who sincerely believed most abortions take place when the embryo is just a “clump of […]

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 […]
