Article laments baby boy born because of Dobbs

June 9, 2023/in They Can Hear You, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

On May 22, 2023, In These Times published “What It’s Like to Have an Abortion Denied by Dobbs,” which profiles Lationna and her newborn son, Kinglsey. I came across the article because of this tweet: The tweet already had a whole lot of quote tweets, many of them saying terrible things about Lationna herself, what […]

Pro-choice women who have miscarried are outraged by The Guardian

April 12, 2023/in Biology, Miscarriage & Pregnancy Loss, Uncategorized /by Monica Snyder

In the Guardian’s notorious article “What a pregnancy actually looks like before 10 weeks – in pictures,” Senior Staff writer Poppy Noor implied that images of decidua and pulverized embryos after an abortion (and, for some reason, after being rinsed of all blood) were what a “pregnancy” looks like before 10 weeks. She further suggested […]

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

March 22, 2023/in Legislation, laws, & 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, & 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, & 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 Later 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: […]
