Marist poll finds common ground in the abortion debate (Mexico City Policy, Roe v. Wade, Down Syndrome abortions)

February 26, 2021/0 Comments/in Ableism, Research /by Monica Snyder

A recent Marist poll took a nuanced look at Americans’ views of abortion. The poll is interesting because it digs further into people’s stances than most polls do. Worth noting: 17% of people who call themselves “pro-life” think abortion should be legal either during the first three months of pregnancy, first six months of pregnancy, […]

Evidence that abortion restrictions decrease *total* abortion rates (not just legal abortion rates).

February 19, 2021/0 Comments/in Research, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

[Update December 2021 – We have recreated and added to the below list here: https://secularprolife.org/abortion-rates/] When I tell pro-choice people abortion restrictions decrease abortion rates, one of the most common responses is “They only decrease legal abortions. Women just start getting abortions illegally.” This is a half-truth. The true half is that there will always be […]

Our cultural gaslighting of women who miscarry before 20 weeks

January 27, 2021/0 Comments/in Miscarriage & Pregnancy Loss, Research /by Monica Snyder

[Esta publicación está disponible en español aquí.] In early 2019, I miscarried one of my twins. I had already known how common miscarriage is, and I suspected that when I began talking publicly about my miscarriage, people I’ve known for years would quietly let me know they had also had pregnancy losses. It was bittersweet […]

No, the Mexico City Policy does not drive up international abortion rates.

January 25, 2021/0 Comments/in Legislation, laws, & court cases, Research, Uncategorized /by Guest Blogger

[Today’s post is by guest blogger Candace Stewart.] One of the first actions the new Biden Administration is expected to take (which has yet to happen as of this writing) is the repeal of the Mexico City Policy. The policy originated under Ronald Reagan and prevents US foreign aid funds for family planning from going […]

Poll: Pro-Life Candidates Received 5-Point Advantage in 2020

November 18, 2020/0 Comments/in Research, Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

A McLaughlin & Associates poll shows that abortion-motivated voters had a significant impact on the November election, National Right to Life News reports: Nationally, 23% of voters said that the abortion issue affected their vote and voted for candidates who oppose abortion. This compares to just 18% who said abortion affected their vote and voted […]

Deep Dive: Federal Elections and the Abortion Rate

September 25, 2020/1 Comment/in Research, Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

Yesterday, Live Action News published an excellent article by Dr. Michael New entitled “No, Democratic presidents do not cause large declines in the abortion rate.” The article debunks a recent round of memes which purport to show major abortion declines under Democratic presidents compared to Republican presidents — a claim so stale, Snopes rated it false […]

Poll: Pro-choicers support a lot more abortion restrictions than you’d expect.

July 17, 2020/0 Comments/in Research, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

When polls regarding abortion ask Americans about Roe v. Wade, most people say they want the Supreme Court decision upheld. But when the same polls ask people when they think abortion should be legal, most believe there should be more restrictions than Roe v. Wade actually allows. I’ve summarized these contradictory results before. Today I […]

A former late-term abortion nurse speaks out

May 27, 2020/0 Comments/in Later Abortion /by Monica Snyder

Warren Hern is one of the few people in the United States who openly performs abortions even after 24 weeks gestation. He performs abortions in Colorado, one of a handful of states that have no gestational limits on abortion — that is, it is legal to perform abortion for any reason at any point in […]
