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, […]

“Don’t define me by my disease.” On abortion and ableism.

July 10, 2020/0 Comments/in Ableism, Uncategorized /by Guest Blogger

[Today’s guest post is by Deb Jones. If you would like to contribute a guest post, email your submission to info@secularprolife.org for consideration.] Deb and Shooter One of the main staples of the argument that abortion needs to stay legal is for those with disabilities, those diagnosed with diseases, syndromes and things of that nature.

I love my life.” This article is by guest author Sophie Trist, a university student in Louisiana.  Recently, I came across an op-ed piece in The Hill written by […]

“Except in the Womb”

October 2, 2019/0 Comments/in Ableism /by Kelsey Hazzard

Over at Slate, abortion supporter Christina Cauterucci has an article about the phrase “except in the womb.” To call it an “article” is a bit generous. It’s really more of a rant. The thesis is basically “I do not like it when anti-abortion people say this.” Still, her annoyance is at least partially justified. For […]

[The original FB post where we collected these answers can be found here. We’ve since created a FB album with more such perspectives here.] Recently, “The Good Place” star Jameela Jamil tweeted the following: Text reads: “I had an abortion when I was young, and it was the best decision I have ever made.

Kavanaugh’s Opinion in Doe v. District of Columbia is not pro-abortion

September 4, 2018/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

In recent weeks, there have been a few articles in left-leaning media outlets concerning Judge Kavanaugh’s opinion in the case of Doe v. District of Columbia, with some suggesting that the opinion allows coerced abortions on people with disabilities. And to be abundantly clear, support for coerced abortions on people with disabilities would be an […]

Abortion and Disability Rights

July 16, 2018/0 Comments/in Ableism /by Guest Blogger

Every life has equal worth. However, not all lives are treated with dignity. For instance, society commonly favors the lives of non-disabled people over disabled people. This preference even appears in the debate about the legality of abortions. A common argument pro-choicers pose is that a woman should get an abortion if she is not […]

Down Syndrome Abortion and the Courts: Part II

April 24, 2018/0 Comments/in Ableism /by Kelsey Hazzard

In January, we wrote about the passage of laws against Down Syndrome abortion in North Dakota, Indiana, and Ohio, and mentioned that Indiana’s law had been struck down but was on appeal. Unfortunately, last Friday, a three-judge panel of the 7th Circuit Court of Appeal ruled against Indiana’s protection of babies with Down Syndrome. Judge Manion […]

Happy World Down Syndrome Day!

March 21, 2018/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

Today, on March 21—3/21, in a nod to the third copy of chromosome 21—we celebrate World Down Syndrome Day. It’s a time to recognize the unique individuals with Down Syndrome and advocate for their inclusion in society. It’s hard to celebrate this year.
