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 […]

Study: Women Rarely Experience Both Childbirth and Abortion

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.

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 […]

Study: Women considering abortion who visit CPCs are more likely to continue their pregnancies

January 10, 2022/0 Comments/in Miscarriage & Pregnancy Loss, Research, Uncategorized /by Guest Blogger

A recent Canadian research article provides recommendations on medications for managing symptoms in seriously ill babies who are receiving palliative care outside the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).1 Beyond providing technical guidance, this study casts light on the value of these tiny babies, their capacity for pain, and their essentially human need for connection and […]

Abortion laws decrease abortion rates internationally, but high unintended pregnancy rates can mask this effect

[Esta publicación está disponible en español aquí.] [A version of this post is available on Twitter here.] In September 2020, The Lancet published “Unintended pregnancy and abortion by income, region, and the legal status of abortion: estimates from a comprehensive model for 1990-2019.” The study discussed three factors: Higher UIP drives up abortion rates.

Study: Women explain their abortions more in terms of religion and motherhood than autonomy.

October 13, 2021/0 Comments/in Research, Uncategorized /by Sarah St. Onge

The pro-choice position has long focused on the role religious fervor plays in anti-abortion politics. Images of nuns marching with anti-abortion protestors are splashed across our front pages, and video clips of evangelical men with megaphones and Bibles protesting outside of clinics are ubiquitous online. It seems all but a forgone conclusion that an individual’s […]
