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. Given the title and the framing […]

Our miscarried children weren’t parasites.

July 23, 2022/0 Comments/in Biology, Miscarriage & Pregnancy Loss, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

(Transcript below video.) Transcript: When pro-choice people conceptualize the embryo as a parasite, and pathologize pregnancy as our body’s failure to rid ourselves of a parasite, there’s another element of that discourse that I want to touch on. And that is how this kind of framing affects people who have experienced pregnancy loss. I have […]

Opponents of heartbeat bills don’t understand how ultrasounds work

March 4, 2022/0 Comments/in Biology, Uncategorized /by Guest Blogger

Today’s guest post is written anonymously by a practicing emergency physician board-certified by the American Board of Emergency Medicine. He works primarily in the ER of a women’s hospital in a large metropolitan area and has experience with first- and second-trimester pregnancy emergencies. He routinely uses bedside ultrasound in a broad variety of applications. Recently […]

Pro-choice public writing professor deletes source showing embryos have hearts

September 24, 2021/0 Comments/in Biology /by Monica Snyder

On September 7, 2021, Ms. Magazine published a piece by Carrie Baker titled “Media Repeat Junk Science Behind Abortion Ban Laws: Check the Science — There is No Heartbeat at Six Weeks.” Baker’s not-really-a-heartbeat piece followed the same general format as the many others before it: cite nothing but interviews and replace arguments with ambiguity.  […]

NPR interviews abortion rights activists to determine if embryos have hearts

September 8, 2021/0 Comments/in Biology /by Monica Snyder

On Sept 3 (2021) NPR published the article “The Texas Abortion Ban Hinges On ‘Fetal Heartbeat.’ Doctors Call That Misleading” by Selena Simmons-Duffin. In NPR’s tweet of the article, the description said “What an ultrasound detects in an embryo at 6 weeks is electrical activity from cells – not a heart.” Here I will explain […]

The pro-choice view survives on widespread ignorance of biology

June 8, 2020/0 Comments/in Biology /by Monica Snyder

 [Esta publicación está disponible en español aquí.] Through Secular Pro-life I frequently post content about how the human zygote is the first stage of a human being’s life cycle. Often when I point this fact out, people will suggest I’m strawmanning the pro-choice view. They assert that no one really denies the basic biology; the […]

Even very pro-choice biologists acknowledge a human life begins at fertilization.

February 26, 2020/0 Comments/in Biology, Research /by Monica Snyder

If you haven’t already, you should really read Biologists’ Consensus on ‘When Life Begins’, a dissertation by Steve Jacobs out of the University of Chicago. This blog post is going to be long, so here’s the summary: Most Americans think “When does human life begin?” is an important question that people deserve to know the answer […]

A Pro-Life Response to “The unscientific nature of the concept that ‘human life begins at fertilization,’ and why it matters”

January 15, 2020/0 Comments/in Biology, Uncategorized /by Guest Blogger

Image: Competing protest signs. One reads “Keep abortion safe and legal.” The other reads “Face it… abortion kills a person.” [This article originally appeared at The Fetal Position and is reprinted here with permission.] Occasionally a pro-choice person will give me a link to an article attempting to refute the idea that a new human organism begins […]
