Secular Pro-Life regularly shares citations and statistics concerning later abortion, including the many reasons the topic is worth its own discussion. When we bring this up, pro-choice people will often counter with, “Later abortion is only 1% of all abortions performed.” Of course 1% of approximately one million abortions a year is still an alarmingly […]

If you’re interested in volunteering to transcribe more of our content, please complete our volunteer survey.] Okay, are you ready for this mouthful: “A Lexicon for First-Trimester Ultrasounds: Society of Radiologists in Ultrasound Consensus Conference Recommendations.” They’re trying to […]
Much of this info available as a tweet thread here. As seen on Twitter/X: So the South Carolina abortion ban directly resulted in a woman being charged with murder for a miscarriage? That sounds awful. Also really strange, because South Carolina’s abortion law sprecifically does not allow criminal prosecution of women who get abortions. Here […]
Under the “abortion rights” section of NBC’s website, they have “A dramatic rise in pregnant women dying in Texas after abortion ban.” The article is a summary of an unpublished analysis from the Gender Equity Policy Insitute (GEPI). I searched their website and couldn’t find any recent reports related to Texas. I can’t look at […]
Remember this meme? When media outlets make biased decisions about what stories to cover or not cover, it activates the availability heuristic, a common logical fallacy. That’s why it’s important to rely on data, not anecdotes – especially when it comes to matters of health. The data tell us that maternal health in the United […]
A transcription of the video, with source links and post-video notes, follows. A new study purports to show an increase in infant mortality in Texas due to their Heartbeat Bill: their September 2021, approximately six week abortion ban. Specifically, the study found an excess of 216 infant deaths, or a 12.7% increase over what they […]
[Most of this info is also available as a Twitter/X thread here.] A new Guttmacher report shows abortions in 2023 are at the highest level since 2012. At an estimated 1,026,690 abortions, the 2023 number is a 10% increase over 2020 levels. Does this mean Dobbs (the 2022 Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. […]
The Chronicle for Higher Education recently published “Medical Students Fought to Get Training in Abortion Care. Then Came ‘Dobbs.’” Author Heidi Landecker paints a grim picture of medical students who just want to practice “ethical medicine” (perform abortions), but struggle to get training in states that have been able to restrict elective abortion since Dobbs. […]

I’ve recently been seeing headlines like these: On January 2, 2024, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on Texas v Becerra, a case about what the federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) can require of hospitals. And no, the court did not say Texas can ban emergency abortions. EMTALA requires Medicare-accepting […]
