[This post is available as a Twitter thread here.] Introduction ACOG (the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists) recently released a “Guide to Language and Abortion,” and Quartz covered the guide in their article “13 phrases US doctors want removed from our vocabulary about abortion.” It’s problematic to assume ACOG and “US doctors” are interchangeable […]
[Today’s guest article is by Alexander Hyun.] If you must choose between saving one newborn and saving five human embryos that are only a few days old, it’s intuitive that you morally ought to save the newborn. This observation forms the basis of the Burning Fertility Clinic Argument, a well-known type of argument against the […]
A Missouri bill related to medication abortion has been getting a lot of attention: While media hyperbole about abortion restrictions is typical, Missouri’s HB 2810 has confused even some staunch anti-abortion advocates with its mention of ectopic pregnancies. Part of the confusion is most likely due to the presentation of three different changes under two […]
We have added three new collections to the SPL website. If you’d like to contribute to any of these, please contact us here. 1. Our children’s heartbeats – While the pro-choice side tries desperately to claim embryos don’t have hearts, we collect stories from parents who became pro-life when they first heard their beloved children’s prenatal heartbeats. 2.

This year’s theme is “Be a Pro-Life Superhero.” The march will begin with a rally outside Missouri’s last abortion business at 11:00 a.m. Participants will then walk four miles to Laclede’s Landing, […]
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.

With strong odds that the Supreme Court will soon reverse Roe v. Wade, the abortion lobby is frantically trying to gain public support. One talking point that I’ve seen come up again and again is fearmongering that those anti-abortion types won’t stop at abortion; they’re coming for your contraception next! This is ridiculous for a […]

Last week, President Biden nominated Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson (currently of the United States Court of Appeals, District of Columbia Circuit) to the Supreme Court. If confirmed by the Senate, Jackson would replace Justice Stephen Breyer, who announced his retirement at the beginning of February. Her confirmation is likely, given that only a bare majority […]

It narrowly passed the House of Representatives 218-211 on September 24th and was sent to the Senate as S.1975, where it […]
