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

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 […]

Examples of the blatant deceit of the abortion lobby

January 3, 2024/in Research, Uncategorized /by Calum Miller

[Today’s post is based on two Tweet threads here and here.] Below are two particularly wild examples of the blatant deceit (or maybe academic incompetence) of the abortion lobby, including their ‘respected academic think tanks’ like the Guttmacher Institute or the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG). Example 1: Maternal deaths in Nigeria from […]

Pregnancy Resource Centers Expand in Response to Dobbs

December 20, 2023/in Research, Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

A nationwide survey of 2,750 pro-life pregnancy resource centers (PRCs) found that their services reached an all-time high in 2022, the first full calendar year after Dobbs v. Jackson allowed states to protect the right to life before birth. PRCs provide free social and medical services to pregnant mothers and their families. Services vary by […]

(To understand how this squares with other research suggesting a rise in abortions, see this article.) The researchers reached this conclusion by examining birth rates in states with and without […]
