Three keys to fetal pain – Part 2: Ultrasound studies

May 26, 2023/in Biology, Research, Uncategorized /by John Bockmann

The way I see it, there are three keys to fetal pain. The IASP’s revised definition of pain, 4D ultrasound studies of fetal behavior, and The diminution of cortical necessity. Last time, I discussed the International Association of the Study of Pain (IASP)’s revised definition of pain, which discarded the requirement that a patient describe her pain verbally in […]

A Peek Behind the Curtain of Planned Parenthood

May 5, 2023/in Research, Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

Planned Parenthood released its 2022 annual report last week, and it has one heck of an opening line: “This was the year the worst happened.” I try to understand where pro-choice people are coming from. Many of them genuinely believe that abortion is a necessary evil, that women cannot succeed in male-dominated career fields without […]

Controversy around Abortion Pill Reversal: a quick overview

What one pro-choice researcher got wrong — and right — about PRCs

January 9, 2023/0 Comments/in Research, Uncategorized /by Virginia Pride

With past and present attacks on pregnancy resource centers (PRCs), both political and physical, it is natural for pro-life advocates to become frustrated with critiques on one of our most valuable resources. There are several branches of PRCs, some secular (such as Birthright International) and others religiously affiliated (such as Heartbeat International). Still others are […]

Coerced Abortion Exists — And Can Cause Rapid Repeat Pregnancy

December 19, 2022/0 Comments/in Research, Uncategorized /by Virginia Pride

#ShoutYourAbortion, and other positive abortion mantras, have taken over the post-Roe conversation in retaliation to abortion restrictions. There comes with it a denial or silence of traumatic abortion experiences. The APA will typically focus on the (short term) trauma of wanted abortions that were denied, rather than the long term trauma of forcibly receiving one. […]

Three keys to fetal pain – Part 1: The Definition

The way I see it, there are three keys to fetal pain: Today I’ll discuss the first key: the International Association of the Study of Pain (IASP)’s revised definition of pain, which has profound implications for how we conceptualize fetal pain. Why does the definition matter? It may seem strange that I begin with a […]

Do Pro-Life Laws Endanger Women’s Lives?

December 2, 2022/0 Comments/in Legislation, laws, & 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 […]

Roe’s Unsung Toll

November 28, 2022/0 Comments/in Research, Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recently released its annual abortion surveillance report. The headline is that abortions declined in 2020, and that is probably true. But keep in mind that the CDC’s reports have significant limitations, the biggest one being that a few pro-abortion states (notably California) refuse to cooperate in data collection. The […]
