Premature infant death leads to murder charge. What does that have to do with abortion?

September 27, 2024/in Legislation, laws, & court cases, Miscarriage & Pregnancy Loss, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

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 […]

“We invited the child’s spirit to revisit Earth another time.”

August 28, 2024/in Miscarriage & Pregnancy Loss, Religion, Uncategorized, Your Stories /by Monica Snyder

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. In reality, the different sides are more complex. Of course, we at Secular Pro-Life often focus on the secular bases for opposing abortion. But […]

“Aborting my baby.” Women describe their aborted embryos as their children.

August 21, 2024/in Miscarriage & Pregnancy Loss, Uncategorized, Your Stories /by Monica Snyder

Many pro-choicers think of embryos and fetuses as “clumps of cells.” They may mean figuratively (philosophically unimportant biomatter) or literally (spheres of undifferentiated cells). Either way, these pro-choicers often act as if only zealous anti-abortion activists view embryos as human beings. They dismiss the idea that embryos are children as a niche and archaic religious […]

Describing miscarriage as “intrauterine death” threatens abortion rights

July 26, 2024/in Miscarriage & Pregnancy Loss, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

In 2023, Jessalyn Bohn wrote “When Words Fail: ‘Miscarriage,’ Referential Ambiguity, and Psychological Harm.” She called for more precision and sensitivity when describing pregnancy loss. About a year later, Belinda Alievska wrote some reflections of Bohn’s work: The Implications of Revising The Terminology of Pregnancy Loss. Specifically Alievska worried that Bohn’s proposed phrase “intrauterine death” […]

Is Abortion the Answer When the Baby Will Die?

April 8, 2024/in Ableism, Miscarriage & Pregnancy Loss, Research, Uncategorized /by Sarah Terzo

This article originally appeared on Sarah Terzo’s Substack. You can read more of her articles here. Pro-abortion activists often say that when someone is pregnant with a baby expected to die, abortion is the compassionate answer. This isn’t the case for the baby. And studies show it’s also not the case for the parents. Is […]

Why the “Investigating Miscarriage” Objection is Nonsense

February 26, 2024/in Miscarriage & Pregnancy Loss, Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

In the Dobbs era, one of the abortion industry’s favorite fearmongering tactics is to claim that every miscarriage will become the subject of a police investigation. “After all,” they reason, “it could have been an abortion! So vote for our abortion-on-demand constitutional amendment, or heartless detectives will swarm every miscarrying woman’s house.” It is more […]

Prenatal child support, death certificates, tax credits, and life insurance

November 22, 2023/in Legislation, laws, & court cases, Miscarriage & Pregnancy Loss, Uncategorized /by Daniel Gump

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.

Is Ohio denying miscarriage care?

October 27, 2023/in Legislation, laws, & court cases, Miscarriage & Pregnancy Loss, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

In late 2022, NPR published Her miscarriage left her bleeding profusely. An Ohio ER sent her home to wait. This is the story of Christina Zielke and her struggle to get appropriate miscarriage treatment while in Ohio. Abortion rights advocates are pointing to this story as evidence of the harm of abortion bans in general […]
