Premature infant death leads to murder charge. What does that have to do with abortion?

September 27, 2024/in Legislation, laws, & court cases, Miscarriage & Pregnancy Loss, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

Much of this info available as a tweet thread here. As seen on Twitter/X: So the South Carolina abortion ban directly resulted in a woman being charged with murder for a miscarriage? That sounds awful. Also really strange, because South Carolina’s abortion law sprecifically does not allow criminal prosecution of women who get abortions. Here […]

No, Texas maternal mortality didn’t “skyrocket” after heartbeat law

September 25, 2024/in Legislation, laws, & court cases, Research, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

Under the “abortion rights” section of NBC’s website, they have “A dramatic rise in pregnant women dying in Texas after abortion ban.” The article is a summary of an unpublished analysis from the Gender Equity Policy Insitute (GEPI). I searched their website and couldn’t find any recent reports related to Texas. I can’t look at […]

Georgia Woman Dies After Delayed Treatment of Abortion Pill Complications (Amber Thurman)

September 17, 2024/in Abortion pills, Legislation, laws, & court cases, Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

Remember this meme? When media outlets make biased decisions about what stories to cover or not cover, it activates the availability heuristic, a common logical fallacy. That’s why it’s important to rely on data, not anecdotes – especially when it comes to matters of health. The data tell us that maternal health in the United […]

Did Texas’ Heartbeat Law increase infant mortality rates?

June 27, 2024/in Ableism, Later Abortion, Legislation, laws, & court cases, Research, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

A transcription of the video, with source links and post-video notes, follows. A new study purports to show an increase in infant mortality in Texas due to their Heartbeat Bill: their September 2021, approximately six week abortion ban. Specifically, the study found an excess of 216 infant deaths, or a 12.7% increase over what they […]

Did Dobbs make any difference? Guttmacher reports over 1M abortions in 2023

March 21, 2024/in Legislation, laws, & court cases, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

[Most of this info is also available as a Twitter/X thread here.] A new Guttmacher report shows abortions in 2023 are at the highest level since 2012. At an estimated 1,026,690 abortions, the 2023 number is a 10% increase over 2020 levels. Does this mean Dobbs (the 2022 Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. […]

No, Dobbs hasn’t caused “sweeping changes” in where doctors practice medicine

March 15, 2024/in Legislation, laws, & court cases, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

The Chronicle for Higher Education recently published “Medical Students Fought to Get Training in Abortion Care. Then Came ‘Dobbs.’” Author Heidi Landecker paints a grim picture of medical students who just want to practice “ethical medicine” (perform abortions), but struggle to get training in states that have been able to restrict elective abortion since Dobbs.

Wild Media Bias in Alabama IVF Case

February 28, 2024/in Legislation, laws, & court cases, Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

The Alabama Supreme Court ruled in favor of infertile couples who conceived through IVF. That bears repeating: the IVF parents won. Here’s the full text of the Court’s opinion so you can confirm for yourself. If you are a casual observer just going off of headlines, you could be forgiven for believing the exact opposite: […]

No, courts did not say Texas can ban emergency abortions

January 8, 2024/in Legislation, laws, & court cases, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

I’ve recently been seeing headlines like these: On January 2, 2024, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on Texas v Becerra, a case about what the federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) can require of hospitals. And no, the court did not say Texas can ban emergency abortions. EMTALA requires Medicare-accepting […]

WeCount says abortions increased after Dobbs. What does this mean?

November 29, 2023/in Legislation, laws, & court cases, Research, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

Introducing the WeCount report. You may have recently seen headlines like these: These articles are based on the October 2023 WeCount report. WeCount describes themselves as a “national abortion reporting effort.” Their report focuses on the number of abortions in the United States in the 12 month period after Dobbs (July 2022 through June 2023), […]

Is Ohio denying miscarriage care?

October 27, 2023/in Legislation, laws, & court cases, Miscarriage & Pregnancy Loss, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

In late 2022, NPR published Her miscarriage left her bleeding profusely. An Ohio ER sent her home to wait. This is the story of Christina Zielke and her struggle to get appropriate miscarriage treatment while in Ohio. Abortion rights advocates are pointing to this story as evidence of the harm of abortion bans in general […]
