Master post: 21+ week abortions usually aren’t medically necessary

February 26, 2019/0 Comments/in Late-Term Abortion, Research /by Monica Snyder

[Update 10/28/22: We have moved these resources to a landing page here. Going forward any additional resources will be added to the landing page, rather than this blog post.] Despite conventional wisdom, there’s zero quantifiable data to support the idea that all or even most late-term abortions are medically necessary. Defining our terms. First, the […]

Responding to 8 common pro-choice claims about late-term abortion.

February 1, 2019/0 Comments/in Late-Term Abortion, Research /by Monica Snyder

In the wake of New York’s Reproductive Health Act, I’ve seen a lot of pro-choice assertions about late-term abortion that I’d like to address here. 1. Pro-lifers actually think New York legalized abortion up until birth! It’s ridiculous. No one is legalizing abortion into the ninth month. The Reproductive Health Act allows abortion for any reason up […]

Personhood based on human cognitive abilities.

November 30, 2018/0 Comments/in Biology, Personhood, Research /by Monica Snyder

What difference is there (if any) between a human organism and a “person”? Is there such thing as a human non-person? How do we determine which human organisms have moral worth and merit social protection? People have given me a variety of suggestions for the factors human organisms need to be morally relevant, including connection […]

“The people want Roe to stay.”

September 25, 2018/0 Comments/in Research, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

Polls asking about support for Roe v. Wade Polls about Roe v. Wade consistently find that a strong majority of Americans don’t want Roe overturned. Examples: About seven-in-ten Americans oppose overturning Roe v. Wade, Pew Research, January 3, 2017. “Would you like to see the Supreme Court completely overturn its Roe v. Wade decision, or […]

Pro-choice states have just as many unintended pregnancies, and far more abortions

September 11, 2018/0 Comments/in Research, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

If you’re into a lot of graphs and number crunching, read on. If you’re not, here’s the bottom line: compared to pro-life states, pro-choice states have more insurance coverage of contraception yet have roughly the same rates of unintended pregnancies and much higher rates of abortion. In early 2015 the Washington Post published the article […]

Non-religious pro-life population grows to 12.8 million

August 3, 2018/0 Comments/in Pro-Life Demographics, Religion, Research /by Kelsey Hazzard

There are 12.8 million non-religious pro-lifers in the United States. That’s equal to the population of Illinois! And it’s a huge jump from just five years ago, when you may remember that Secular Pro-Life ran a visibility campaign touting 6 million non-religious pro-life Americans. How did this happen? First, let’s show our work. As of 2017, […]

Link collection: Evidence that pro-life laws mean fewer unplanned pregnancies.

July 31, 2018/0 Comments/in Research, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

[Update December 2021 – We have recreated and added to the below list here: https://secularprolife.org/pregnancy-rates/] Pro-life laws decrease abortion in two ways. The direct and more obvious way is by decreasing the number of pregnant women who get abortions. A wide body of research (part 1, part 2) demonstrates that when abortion is restricted abortion […]

More evidence that abortion restrictions decrease abortion rates.

Here’s the evidence.) here in chronological order are more studies suggesting that abortion restrictions do decrease abortion—and not just legal abortion, but abortion in general. Note how many […]

Which decreases abortion rates more: contraception access or abortion restrictions?

July 2, 2018/0 Comments/in Research, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

Pro-choicers frequently claim that making abortion illegal won’t decrease the number of abortions; it will only decrease the number of safe, legal abortions. They suggest that there is no practical use to restricting abortion legally and that if pro-lifers really cared about decreasing abortion rates, they would focus on decreasing unplanned pregnancies (through better access […]

Three takeaways from Gallup abortion polling

June 18, 2018/0 Comments/in Research, Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

Gallup recently released a series of articles on its latest abortion survey, which goes into much more detail than previous years. There’s far more data than I can realistically cover in a blog post, but here are three things that caught my eye. Confusion about why women seek abortions: 60% of Americans say that abortion […]
