[Update December 2022: Here is a video summary of this blog post. Scroll past the video to see a written version of the same concepts.] Above: a 28-week-old baby I don’t know about you, but I often use the data brought to my attention by the SPL blog post “More evidence that most late-term […]
[Update 10/28/22: We have moved these resources to a landing page here. Going forward any additional resources will be added to the landing page, rather than this blog post.] Despite conventional wisdom, there’s zero quantifiable data to support the idea that all or even most late-term abortions are medically necessary. Defining our terms. First, the […]
On September 20, 2015, HRC appeared on CBS’ “Face the Nation” and stated: I think that the kind of late-term abortions that take place are because of medical necessity. And, therefore, I would hate to see the government interfering with that decision. FactCheck.org took Clinton to task for this claim [emphasis added]: A spokesman for […]
In the wake of New York’s Reproductive Health Act, I’ve seen a lot of pro-choice assertions about late-term abortion that I’d like to address here. 1. Pro-lifers actually think New York legalized abortion up until birth! It’s ridiculous. No one is legalizing abortion into the ninth month. The Reproductive Health Act allows abortion for any reason up […]
This post contains quotes, summaries, and descriptions from the grand jury report regarding Kermit Gosnell. Much of this information is very disturbing, including graphic descriptions of violence. NBC published a review of the Gosnell movie by Robin Marty. She didn’t like the film. In particular she took exception to the moniker “America’s Biggest Serial Killer,” saying: […]
Polls asking about support for Roe v. Wade Polls about Roe v. Wade consistently find that a strong majority of Americans don’t want Roe overturned. Examples: About seven-in-ten Americans oppose overturning Roe v. Wade, Pew Research, January 3, 2017. “Would you like to see the Supreme Court completely overturn its Roe v. Wade decision, or […]
The Let There Be Life Conference co-hosted by Berkeley Students for Life and Pro-Life San Francisco was a smashing success. Not only did each speaker cover very different content, but the style of each speech was entirely different. There were speeches in the style of spoken word poetry, rigorous academic discussion, sermon*, humorous dialogue, rousing call to […]
We’ve written before (part 1, part 2) about how most late-term abortions are elective, i.e. performed for non-medical reasons (maternal or fetal). The data we’ve been able to find looks at abortions after the first trimester but doesn’t get specific about third trimester abortions. It may not even be possible to find quantifiable data on […]
Today at the University of California, Berkeley, Pro-Life San Francisco is hosting the Let There Be Life Conference, which is designed to promote pro-life unity and education among Californians. Secular Pro-Life will be doing a speech on three pro-choice myths, including where those myths come from and exactly why they are misleading. We hope to post […]
“Live-birth abortion” sounds like an oxymoron, but it’s the term being used to describe a shockingly common scenario in Canada. A National Post article headlined “Birth of a legal quandry: Live-birth abortions a perilous grey zone in Canada’s criminal code” reports: On Thursday, three federal Conservative backbenchers said they had asked the RCMP to initiate […]
