A Supreme Court abortion decision is expected any day. Here’s what you need to know.

June 22, 2020/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

The U.S. Supreme Court traditionally releases its major opinions in the month of June. We have already seen blockbuster rulings on LGBT employment discrimination and DACA. Next up: June Medical Services v. Russo, which will determine the fate of a Louisiana law requiring abortionists to have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of […]

Which decreases abortion rates more: contraception access or abortion restrictions?

July 2, 2018/0 Comments/in Research, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

Pro-choicers frequently claim that making abortion illegal won’t decrease the number of abortions; it will only decrease the number of safe, legal abortions. They suggest that there is no practical use to restricting abortion legally and that if pro-lifers really cared about decreasing abortion rates, they would focus on decreasing unplanned pregnancies (through better access […]

Why penalties for illegal abortion should not focus on the woman

April 4, 2016/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

In the last week or so the internet has blown up over Trump saying there should be some form of punishment for the woman seeking an abortion if abortion were illegal. On the SPL FB page we posted a few links suggesting that both SPL specifically and most pro-lifers in general disagree with Trump’s initial […]

Gosnell and Abortion, Part 1 of 3

April 17, 2013/1 Comment/in Uncategorized /by Guest Blogger

[Today’s post is by guest blogger Nathaniel, re-posted with permission from his blog, Difficult Run.] Less than a week after Kirsten Powers’ USA Today piece, the concerted pro-life effort to get the Gosnell trial the media attention it tragically deserves has succeeded. Sort of. There are a lot of articles being written about Gosnell, but […]

Pregnant Workers Fairness Act

October 16, 2012/4 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA) is an Act intended to ensure “reasonable workplace accommodations for workers whose ability to perform the functions of a job are limited by pregnancy, childbirth, or a related medical condition.” The Huffington Post describes the types of women that could be helped by this legislation: When Heather Wiseman began to […]

Gonzales v. Carhart: What can you see?

September 26, 2012/5 Comments/in Late-Term Abortion /by Monica Snyder

Gonzales v. Carhart is a 2007 Supreme Court case in which the Court upheld the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003. Both the pro-life and pro-choice communities reacted strongly to the case, seeing it as a shift in the Court’s perspective on abortion.  As the New York Times explained, the decision was “the first in […]

Bodily Integrity Revisited

August 22, 2012/36 Comments/in Bodily Rights, Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

[Guest Blogger Simon takes a particular interest in the philosophical aspects of the abortion debate.  Here he considers the important role of bodily integrity.] When studying the philosophy of abortion, it is often very hard to find new perspectives.  Many arguments run along the usual lines of bodily autonomy, personhood, the moral value of autonomy and […]

Implications

August 10, 2012/16 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

It’s no secret that our current laws are inconsistent when it comes to the legal status of fetuses.  For example, Kansas law declares the terms “person” and “human being”–as used in laws that define murder, manslaughter, and so forth–to include an unborn child.  California penal code draws a distinction between “human being” and “fetus”, but […]

Prosecuting Women? Part 2.

July 18, 2012/7 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

Recently I highlighted a story about a woman arrested for her self-administered (via RU-486) abortion; I then asked what you, readers, believe the repercussions should be for breaking the law if abortion were illegal.  In a case of coincidental timing, Live Action News also recently discussed the punitive implications of legally restricting abortion. In the post, author […]
