Pro-choice women who have miscarried are outraged by The Guardian

April 12, 2023/in Biology, Miscarriage & Pregnancy Loss, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

In the Guardian’s notorious article “What a pregnancy actually looks like before 10 weeks – in pictures,” Senior Staff writer Poppy Noor implied that images of decidua and pulverized embryos after an abortion (and, for some reason, after being rinsed of all blood) were what a “pregnancy” looks like before 10 weeks. She further suggested […]

Guardian article “What a pregnancy actually looks like” erases embryos

October 20, 2022/0 Comments/in Biology, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

On October 19, Guardian Senior Staff writer Poppy Noor published “What a pregnancy actually looks like before 10 weeks – in pictures.” The article reprints photographs from the MYA Network (“MY Abortion” network) of aborted pregnancy tissue and quotes an abortion provider of the same network, Dr. Joan Fleischman.
