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 For some, it is (erroneously) viewed as the outdated Calendar Method – an unreliable form of birth control that gets you pregnant more than it doesn’t. Others may have heard […]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 […]

June 27, 2024/in Ableism, Later Abortion, Legislation, laws, & court cases, Research, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

A transcription of the video, with source links and post-video notes, follows. A new study purports to show an increase in infant mortality in Texas due to their Heartbeat Bill: their September 2021, approximately six week abortion ban. Specifically, the study found an excess of 216 infant deaths, or a 12.7% increase over what they […]

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 […]
