Idaho hospital ends L&D services due to decreasing patient volumes; media blames abortion bans

March 22, 2023/in Legislation, laws, and court cases, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

Bonner General Health (BGH), a hospital in Sandpoint, Idaho, has announced it is ending it’s labor and delivery services. You may have seen headlines like these: The Dobbs decision overturned Roe v. Wade, which had been around since 1973. That means legislatures across the country are grappling with changes to a decades-long legal status quo. […]

Guardian article “What a pregnancy actually looks like” erases embryos

October 20, 2022/0 Comments/in Biology, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

On October 19, Guardian Senior Staff writer Poppy Noor published “What a pregnancy actually looks like before 10 weeks – in pictures.” The article reprints photographs from the MYA Network (“MY Abortion” network) of aborted pregnancy tissue and quotes an abortion provider of the same network, Dr. Joan Fleischman. Given the title and the framing […]

NPR admits abortion restrictions decrease abortion rates, then tries to backtrack

July 8, 2022/0 Comments/in Legislation, laws, and court cases, Research, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

NPR recently published “Do restrictive abortion laws actually reduce abortion? A global map offers insights.” Correspondent Michaeleen Doucleff begins the article asking “In countries where abortion is illegal, are there fewer abortions?” and then continues “The question sounds simple, but it’s tough to answer.” It’s not a tough question to answer, though. Doucleff answers it […]

No, Missouri is not outlawing treatment for ectopic pregnancy

March 14, 2022/1 Comment/in Abortion pills, Legislation, laws, and court cases, Uncategorized /by Sarah St. Onge

A Missouri bill related to medication abortion has been getting a lot of attention: While media hyperbole about abortion restrictions is typical, Missouri’s HB 2810 has confused even some staunch anti-abortion advocates with its mention of ectopic pregnancies. Part of the confusion is most likely due to the presentation of three different changes under two […]

Responding to 7 pro-choice claims about embryonic hearts

February 23, 2022/0 Comments/in Biology, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

1. Embryos don’t have hearts. They have groups of pulsing cells where the heart will eventually form. The embryonic period is defined as the first stage of the pregnancy up to 11 weeks gestation. The embryonic heart–including atria, ventricles, and related structures–is present by 6 weeks gestation. We have collected multiple scientific and medical sources […]

Pro-choice public writing professor deletes source showing embryos have hearts

September 24, 2021/0 Comments/in Biology /by Monica Snyder

On September 7, 2021, Ms. Magazine published a piece by Carrie Baker titled “Media Repeat Junk Science Behind Abortion Ban Laws: Check the Science — There is No Heartbeat at Six Weeks.” Baker’s not-really-a-heartbeat piece followed the same general format as the many others before it: cite nothing but interviews and replace arguments with ambiguity.  […]

When the media gets abortion wrong

January 13, 2020/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

Media bias in support of abortion is unfortunately pervasive. This usually shows up in language choices, expressions of opinion, and decisions about what stories to cover in the first place. But occasionally reporters go a step further and publish demonstrably false statements. When that happens, we bring it up on Twitter and push for a […]

Is Gosnell America’s “Biggest Serial Killer”?

October 24, 2018/0 Comments/in Late-Term Abortion /by Monica Snyder

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: […]

“May your character be so solid…”

April 18, 2018/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

I’ve not previously commented about this, in the interest of not giving attention to ideas that do not deserve it, but now that it has become a news story I feel compelled to speak out. The pro-life, pro-woman organization New Wave Feminists (NWF) was founded by Destiny Herndon-De La Rosa, and for a long time, […]

No, defunding Planned Parenthood did not make maternal mortality skyrocket in Texas

April 16, 2018/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

In 2011, Texas redirected taxpayer funds from Planned Parenthood to federally qualified health centers and other comprehensive healthcare providers. The next year, maternal mortality in Texas allegedly skyrocketed. Pro-lifers were immediately blamed. Planned Parenthood funding had been saving lives! Post hoc, ergo propter hoc! That explanation was unsatisfying, because Planned Parenthood doesn’t offer birth care. […]
