Some parents get tattoos to memorialize the children we’ve lost through miscarriage. I’m reflecting this morning on how profoundly pregnancy loss can affect us. I’ve had two miscarriages, both around the 6 week mark, both deeply upsetting when they happened and, if I give myself time to think about it, deeply upsetting to this day. […]
The abortion healing non-profit Support After Abortion recently hosted Secular Pro-Life’s executive director, Monica Snyder, for a webinar on “Meeting Clients Across Different Belief Systems.” Women who seek abortions come from many backgrounds; according to the Guttmacher Institute, 30% are Protestant, 24% are Catholic, 8% belong to other religions, and 38% have no religious affiliation.

Among the recurring themes are people who sincerely believed most abortions take place when the embryo is just a “clump of […]

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 […]
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.
