A fetus is a child is a baby is a patient – 5 reasons to use the terms interchangeably

August 13, 2021/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by John Bockmann

Today’s guest post is written by John Bockmann. You can also view his article as a Twitter thread here. My older daughter, Emily, at 8 weeks’ gestation: “BABY.” If you’ve ever debated abortion, you’ve probably noticed it’s nearly impossible to discuss the actual topic. Instead, the exchange rapidly devolves into accusations—often, that you’re using inaccurate […]

As pro-choice activists pivot to a more pro-abortion view, will average Americans go along?

May 12, 2021/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

Actress Martha Plimpton models her “Abortion” dress It seems pro-choice activists are divided into two camps: Abortion is unfortunate but necessary. It should be safe, legal, and rare. Abortion is liberating and praiseworthy. It should be available on demand, without apology. For this post, I’m referring to group 1 as “pro-choice” and group 2 as […]

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, […]

Take heart, the pro-life side is doing well.

February 2, 2019/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

I know it’s been a frustrating couple weeks with NY, VA, and the many conversations that have ensued. But big picture, guys: 1) Abortion rates continue to decline. They peaked at 29.3 abortions per 1,000 women in 1980; in 2014 it was 14.6. 2) Abortion clinics continue to close every year. >>The number of U.S. […]

“Is it possible to be pro-choice and feminist?”

May 3, 2017/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Acyutananda

[Today’s guest post by Acyutananda is part of our paid blogging program.] So far as I know, the recent “Why Can’t a Feminist Be Pro-Life?” panel at the Catholic University of America marked the first time that pro-choice feminists, who are the feminist mainstream, entered a formal setting where they found undeniable confirmation of the […]

“Pro-choice” is NOT morally neutral

February 22, 2017/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

[Today’s guest post by Perri is part of our paid blogging program.] A common self-perception that I have noticed among the pro-choice crowd is one of moral neutrality. Many see their position not as one which condones abortion, but as one which simply chooses not to answer the question of whether abortion is right or […]

A response to Shawna Kay Rodenberg

January 2, 2017/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

Shortly before Christmas, Salon published an article that surprised me. I almost didn’t read it, because I’m not a big Salon fan; it’s home to many anti-choicers-hate-women screeds, and I still have some lingering distrust from the publication’s anti-vaccine days (although there appears to have been some improvement on that front in the years since […]

Poll results: Who is part of the pro-life movement?

June 6, 2016/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

Last Friday we posted a 2 question poll about who you consider “pro-lifers” and who you consider part of the “pro-life movement.” The point of the poll was to explore how people define these terms. We considered four factors: Whether a person is politically active in fighting abortion. Whether a person thinks abortion should be […]

Poll: Who are the pro-lifers?

Descriptions: Lucas is a business owner who offers paid maternity leave. He also writes letters protesting abortion to his political representatives and local newspapers whenever the opportunity comes up. Elizabeth is a stay-at-home mom who thinks abortion is wrong. She does what she can to help women not feel they need it; for example, when […]

National Right to Life report: pro-life movement on the right track

January 27, 2016/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

Two weeks ago, National Right to Life issued a new report, The State of Abortion in the United States. The news cycle was quickly dominated by a lot of other things (hello, snowstorm) and I want to make sure you didn’t miss it; better late than never. Here are a few highlights: Abortion rates are […]
