Take our survey: What is an “abortion”?

November 22, 2024/in Research, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

In October 2023, Social Science Medicine published “Technically an abortion”: Understanding perceptions and definitions of abortion in the United States. The researchers presented survey participants with descriptions of pregnancy scenarios and asked the participants whether the scenarios were abortions. Participants could answer “yes, definitely,” “no, definitely not,” “maybe, it depends,” and “I don’t know.” I […]

Is later abortion only 1% of all abortions?

October 21, 2024/in Debunking, Later Abortion, Research, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

Secular Pro-Life regularly shares citations and statistics concerning later abortion, including the many reasons the topic is worth its own discussion. When we bring this up, pro-choice people will often counter with, “Later abortion is only 1% of all abortions performed.” Of course 1% of approximately one million abortions a year is still an alarmingly […]

No, Texas maternal mortality didn’t “skyrocket” after heartbeat law

September 25, 2024/in Debunking, Legislation, laws, & court cases, Research, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

Under the “abortion rights” section of NBC’s website, they have “A dramatic rise in pregnant women dying in Texas after abortion ban.” The article is a summary of an unpublished analysis from the Gender Equity Policy Insitute (GEPI). I searched their website and couldn’t find any recent reports related to Texas. I can’t look at […]

This article explores the experiences of parents of children with Trisomy 13 or 18, focusing on the parents’ interactions […]

The Facts on Fetal Pain

August 7, 2024/in Biology, Research, Uncategorized /by Guest Blogger

Photo Credit Robina Weermeijer on Unsplash. Today’s guest blog was submitted anonymously. Pregnant women, medical professionals, and the general public care about fetal pain and deserve the facts(1,2,3,4). Fetal pain perception is likely by 15-20 weeks gestation(5,6) and possible by 12 weeks(7,8,9). Pro-choice medical associations, however, state that the fetus undergoing an induced abortion is […]

Fertility awareness and pro-choice feminism: a perfect union, or at odds?

July 31, 2024/in Research, Uncategorized /by Virginia Pride

Photo Credit Virginia Pride The words “fertility awareness” may invoke different responses from people, depending on what the person has actually been told about it. For some, it is (erroneously) viewed as the outdated Calendar Method – an unreliable form of birth control that gets you pregnant more than it doesn’t. Others may have heard […]

There’s a Fortune in Abortion

July 29, 2024/in Abortion pills, Research, Uncategorized /by Sarah Terzo

Most pro-lifers have heard of the late Dr. Bernard Nathanson, a pro-life icon who was once an abortionist and pro-abortion activist. Dr. Bernard Nathanson After performing or overseeing over 60,000 abortions, Nathanson became pro-life. His conversion was inspired by seeing a preborn baby aborted on ultrasound for the first time. Ultrasound was a relatively new […]

Testing biological tissue for abortion drugs

July 12, 2024/in Abortion pills, Biology, Research, Uncategorized /by Petra Wallenmeyer

Photo Credit Chromatograph on Unsplash Two studies explain proof of concept for testing for the presence of abortion drugs after a pregnancy loss using a highly specific process: ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) coupled with triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (QqQ-MS/MS) (coupled as UHPLC-QqQ-MS/MS). Here, I will walk through what exactly this testing process is and how […]
