No, defunding Planned Parenthood did not make maternal mortality skyrocket in Texas

April 16, 2018/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

In 2011, Texas redirected taxpayer funds from Planned Parenthood to federally qualified health centers and other comprehensive healthcare providers. The next year, maternal mortality in Texas allegedly skyrocketed. Pro-lifers were immediately blamed. Planned Parenthood funding had been saving lives! Post hoc, ergo propter hoc! That explanation was unsatisfying, because Planned Parenthood doesn’t offer birth care. […]

Slate hits peak science denial in article on “mystery” of prenatal life

April 5, 2017/0 Comments/in Biology /by Kelsey Hazzard

Another day, another ridiculous “we don’t really know when life begins” hot take, this time from Slate author Elissa Strauss: But despite the insistence of anti-abortion activists, the notion that life begins at the bright line of conception is at odds with many ethical traditions. In a number of religions, when an embryo or fetus […]

Debunking the latest pro-abortion “science” video

January 16, 2017/0 Comments/in Biology /by Kelsey Hazzard

Last Thursday, the ASAPscience channel on YouTube published a new video entitled What Actually Happens When You Have An Abortion? As of this writing, it has garnered over 1.5 million views and is #38 on trending. Take a moment to watch it now, and then we’ll delve into its inaccuracies. The first section, on abortion methods, […]

More evidence that most late-term abortions are elective

December 16, 2016/0 Comments/in Later Abortion /by LN

Two months ago I wrote the post “No, most late-term abortions are not medically necessary,” in which I used Guttmacher data to show that at least 75% of 13+ week abortions are elective (that is, they are not performed due to fetal or maternal health concerns). I said: One could argue that the proportion of […]

Biology textbook writer claims we need emotion to answer “When does human life begin?”

March 23, 2016/0 Comments/in Biology /by LN

Last Wednesday, SPL published this blog post about an embryologist who conflated a scientific question with a philosophical question. Two years prior, the writer of the college biology textbook “Life,” Dr. Ricki Lewis (PhD), wrote a stunningly similar article called “When Does a Human Life Begin? 17 Timepoints.” I want to begin by pointing out that […]

Embryologist Moonlights as Philosopher. SPL calls BS.

March 16, 2016/0 Comments/in Biology /by LN

What’s the most common argument you get into in the abortion debate? Do you argue about whether bodily rights justify abortion? Whether adoption is a better choice? Do you discuss the pros and cons of paid maternity leave, or maybe get into philosophical discussions about coma patients? There are plenty of complex topics and worthy […]

Dear Bill Nye: Where’s the science, guy?

September 26, 2015/0 Comments/in Biology /by Monica Snyder

NARAL Pro-Choice America posted a video featuring Bill Nye giving his views on abortion. Throughout the roughly four and a half minutes, Nye says pro-lifers have a “deep scientific lack of understanding” and hold positions “based on bad science.” He thinks we anti-abortion folk “apparently literally don’t know what you’re talking about” (as opposed to […]
