Two critical life-related matters are open for public comment. The first is a proposed federal regulation that would protect Title X funds from Planned Parenthood. The second is a proposal before the American Board of Medical Specialities (AMBS) to create a new board specialty in “Complex Family Planning”—code for late-term abortion. Title X Regulation As […]
The Women’s Med Center waiting room On June 11, 2015, Women’s Med Center in Dayton, Ohio committed an abortion on a woman who was unable to consent. According to a state report—which did not become public until last year—the woman (identified only as “Patient #1”) was unable to hold a coherent conversation or even lift […]

In the UK, abortion is legal up to 24 weeks typically—but in cases where the fetus has disabilities, the woman can obtain abortion at any time throughout pregnancy. Recently a UK lawmaker with disabilities, Lord Kevin Shinkwin, spoke out about this double standard: I can see from the trends in abortion on grounds of disability […]
[Today’s guest post by Sarah Terzo is part of our paid blogging program.] In June 2015, the European Centre for Law and Justice released a report that compiled first-hand accounts of babies born alive after abortions who were then killed by doctors.

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 […]
Last week, the CDC released its annual abortion surveillance report (for 2013, because it’s always behind). The big story the media picked up from it was that the American abortion rate has once again hit a record low. Of course, that’s welcome news. But dig deeper, and the report also contains some extremely disturbing findings. […]
[Editor’s note: This post was originally published on July 13, 2016 and has recently been updated.] When it comes to The Abortion Debate™, both sides often try to focus on facets which make the opposition look worst. For example, pro-lifers like to talk about late-term abortions. Pro-choicers like to talk about rape and medically necessary […]
Pro-choice activists mock the most socially unpalatable aspects of the pro-life position. Broadly speaking, pro-lifers believe human life is morally relevant when the human organism begins: as a zygote. This means we oppose killing not only fetuses, but also embryos and zygotes. And so, while we primarily object to surgical abortion, many of us also […]
