A Legal History of Induced Abortion in the United States

June 6, 2022/0 Comments/in Biology, Legislation, laws, & court cases, Research, Uncategorized /by Daniel Gump

A recurring flaw with modern claims about induced abortion legality in early America is that they are seen through the lens of modern medicine. However, in the eighteenth century, there were no ultrasound images, no fetal stethoscopes, no home pregnancy tests, and really no way to reliably confirm pregnancy until a woman could feel movement […]

The Future is Anti-Abortion. So is the Present.

June 1, 2022/0 Comments/in Pro-Life Demographics, Rape Exception, Research, Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

In a recent article in the Atlantic, Jerusalem Demsas asks an important question: “Now that the Supreme Court seems poised to reverse itself on Roe v. Wade, abortion-rights advocates and anti-abortion advocates are both claiming the mantle of popularity. Who’s right?” Spoiler alert: we are. Demsas, who is pro-abortion, takes a while to get there […]

Study Explores Americans’ Willingness to Facilitate Abortions

May 2, 2022/0 Comments/in Research, Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

Earlier this year, researchers at NYU published the results of a survey about Americans’ attitudes toward abortion, and took a unique approach. Gallup, Pew, and other large pollsters routinely about opposition to abortion under particular circumstances (rape, third trimester, etc.). Those surveys can certainly be helpful to understanding year-to-year trends. But I have never seen […]

April 20, 2022/0 Comments/in Research, Uncategorized /by Guest Blogger

In a study entitled “Estimating the Period Prevalence of Mothers Who Have Abortions: A Population Based Study of Inclusive Pregnancy Outcomes,” researchers provide strong evidence that most mothers do not also have experience with abortion. The study also found that the majority of women who have abortions do not already have born children and do […]

Survey: Physicians Are Far Less Likely to Abort Their Children

April 15, 2022/0 Comments/in Biology, Research, Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

A recent survey published in the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology and covered by MedPage Today had an intriguing finding: Among physicians of reproductive age (45 years or younger), the abortion rate was 10.2%, said researchers led by Morgan Levy, BS, of the University of Miami School of Medicine, and colleagues. Levy said these findings show […]

Abortion bans don’t lead to a surplus of unwanted children.

March 9, 2022/0 Comments/in Adoption & Foster Care, Research, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

Some pro-choice people predict that abortion restrictions or bans will lead to a major increase in unwanted children. They occasionally claim abortion restrictions will lead to miserable, trapped mothers and abused, neglected children, an idea that is also behind the (tenuous) connection they draw between abortion restrictions and the foster care system. For example: Several […]
