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 […]
Recently, Democrats for Life President Kristen Day questioned Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg about whether the Democratic Party welcomes pro-life Democrats. She said, in part, I am a proud pro-life Democrat. Do you want the support of pro-life Democratic voters? There are about 21 million of us. NARAL President Ilyse Hogue objected to that stat, pointing to […]
With a new poll out from two organizations called Supermajority and PerryUndem, Jill Filipovic says she has come to the conclusion that pro-lifers are pro-life because they want to control women. In order for that to be a valid conclusion, the following pieces all have to fit together in the way that Filipovic says they […]
Last week, we posted the above graphic to our social media pages with the caption “In the United States, 23% of abortion opponents are Catholic and 12% have no religious affiliation. We are proud to stand with our pro-life brothers and sisters of all faith backgrounds to end the violence of abortion!” We got a […]
Four short months ago, we reported that according to Google Trends, interest in abortion was at a 15-year high. News about permissive late-term abortion laws in New York and (nearly) Virginia earlier this year, together with federal legislative efforts to ban infanticide when babies survive abortion, drove more abortion-related keyword searches than at any point […]
[Update December 2022: Here is a video summary of this blog post. Scroll past the video to see a written version of the same concepts.] Above: a 28-week-old baby I don’t know about you, but I often use the data brought to my attention by the SPL blog post “More evidence that most late-term […]
Came across this article recently and the headline caught my eye. There, fixed it. Broadly speaking, pro-choice people treat abortion as if it prevents a child from coming into existence, rather than destroying a child who already exists. Diana Greene Foster—the article’s author and principal investigator of the study being summarized—suggests as much when she says: […]
Today at the University of California, Berkeley, Dr. Malcolm Potts will be hosting his bi-annual point/counterpoint-style lecture on abortion for his public health class. This year, Monica Snyder of Secular Pro-Life will be presenting the antiabortion case. We hope to have video of her presentation later–EDIT: you can now watch the full presentation here–but meanwhile […]
[Update 10/28/22: We have moved these resources to a landing page here. Going forward any additional resources will be added to the landing page, rather than this blog post.] Despite conventional wisdom, there’s zero quantifiable data to support the idea that all or even most late-term abortions are medically necessary. Defining our terms. First, the […]
On September 20, 2015, HRC appeared on CBS’ “Face the Nation” and stated: I think that the kind of late-term abortions that take place are because of medical necessity. And, therefore, I would hate to see the government interfering with that decision. FactCheck.org took Clinton to task for this claim [emphasis added]: A spokesman for […]
