On January 11, 2021, Pennsylvania Representative Francis Ryan reintroduced the Final Disposition of Fetal Remains Act (House Bill No. 118) to The General Assembly of Pennsylvania.[1] He previously introduced it to the committee on health in September 2019.[2] This […]

Investigating miscarriages would be cruel, wasteful, and destructive.

April 30, 2021/0 Comments/in Miscarriage & Pregnancy Loss /by Monica Snyder

[12/26/23 – Similar information in this Twitter thread.] Sometimes pro-choice people claim that outlawing abortion would mean the state will investigate every miscarriage as potential murder. Pro-lifers counter that natural death (miscarriage) is not equivalent to purposeful killing (abortion). This reply is obviously true, but it doesn’t really address the concern. At minimum, early miscarriage […]

The importance of being a parent when children won’t live long after birth

April 16, 2021/0 Comments/in Miscarriage & Pregnancy Loss, Research, Uncategorized /by Leslie Corbly

Editor’s note: We believe it’s important for more of the public to be aware of perinatal hospice services. We recently published overviews of what perinatal hospice entails and state laws regarding patient notification of perinatal hospice options. In today’s post, guest blogger Leslie Corbly summarizes a recent article published in The Journal of Pediatric Nursing: “Being […]

When Should States Enact Perinatal Hospice Notification Laws?

March 26, 2021/0 Comments/in Miscarriage & Pregnancy Loss, Research, Uncategorized /by Petra Wallenmeyer

In a recent Note in the Washington University Law Review, author Ashley Flakus examines when, if at all, it is appropriate for the state to require pregnant women be told about perinatal hospice. (Click here for a general overview perinatal hospice services.) While Flakus is obviously pro-choice, she makes some valid points about abortion, perinatal […]

A Pro-Life Introduction to Perinatal Hospice

March 24, 2021/0 Comments/in Miscarriage & Pregnancy Loss, Uncategorized /by Sarah St. Onge

What is Perinatal Hospice? Unless you or a loved one have utilized the services of a perinatal hospice program, you likely didn’t even know such a thing existed. Hospice, as we know, is for dying people… so why would we be contemplating such a system for a newly born baby? Especially in a first-world country, […]

When we say “heartbeat” we don’t mean “fetal pole cardiac activity.” We mean “heartbeat.”

June 5, 2019/0 Comments/in Biology /by Monica Snyder

Recently a FB follower shared this post to our page: (Click to enlarge) The text reads, in part: This is what an embryo at 6 weeks looks like. There is no real heart beat because it’s heart isn’t nearly complete – they’re heart “vibrations” (vibrations are caused my cellular activity where the heart WILL be. […]

We asked, you answered: why did you convert from being pro-choice to pro-life?

May 22, 2019/0 Comments/in Dialogue strategy, Uncategorized, We Asked You Answered /by Monica Snyder

Original FB post here. At the time I started organizing these answers, there were about 200 comments. Many people became pro-life because of their own pregnancy experiences: Sasja: I was pro choice, and even against the gestation of embryos that showed signs of hereditary diseases or birth defects … And then I fell in love […]
