You don't have to be religious to have a problem with killing humans.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you can be nonreligious and anti-abortion at the same time. In fact our group welcomes you specifically. XOXO,.Kelsey, Monica, and Terrisa.(all pro-life atheists).

Idk why any Planned Parenthood clinic anywhere would be threatened by abortion bans. I'm told that should only affect like 3% of what they do.

Hey maybe the Planned Parenthoods in states banning abortion should stay open and switch to providing prenatal care.

the CDC reports less than 1 percent of abortions occur after 21 weeks but @emmma_camp_ for some reason felt that easily identifiable statistic was not worth including in this disappointingly misleading piece .

The assumption that women who conceive in rape will want to abort is so ingrained into society that if a rape survivor chooses to carry to term, people take that as evidence suggesting she wasn't really raped. (Source: "Giving Birth to a 'Rapist's Child'" by Shauna Prewitt.)

Pregnancy is not a punishment for sex. It is a result of sex. Abortion restrictions aren't about punishing adults for having sex, just like child support isn't about punishing adults for having sex. Instead, both are about protecting & taking care of the children adults created.

@KirstenPowers Hi, there are over 12 million non-religious pro-lifers in the United States. We know that there is life before birth because of modern medicine, not any sacred text. The scientific consensus that human life begins at fertilization is overwhelming.

"Don't like abortion? Don't get one and mind your own business!" . Sorry, I guess we've been unclear. We view abortion as a *human rights violation*. It's not remotely persuasive to tell people concerned about human rights violations to just mind their own business.

Nevaeh Crain presents to one ER and they treat her for strep throat without even investigating her pregnancy or abdominal pain. She goes to a second ER, they see she has symptoms of sepsis and isn't responding to treatment, they discharge her anyway. When she returns for a third
.@propublica reaching @guardian level nonsense at this point. -ER1 doesn't even check her symptoms.-ER2 manned by OB w/history of malpractice/missed diagnoses.-He notes symptoms, treatment doesn't work, discharges her anyway.-ER3 shows no indication her situation is even urgent.

It's not difficult to distinguish between D&C for missed miscarriage vs for elective abortion. It's like distinguishing between cremation vs setting a live person on fire. "It's the same process" - yes, you've named a similarity. Now can you spot any differences?.

Turnaway study found of women who gave birth after being denied an abortion:. 90% raised their children themselves.91% emotionally bonded to their children normally.96% said they no longer wished they'd aborted. The idea that women denied abortion will be bad mothers is a myth.

24% of women who get abortions describe their abortions as unwanted or coerced. What's 24% of a million a year?.
I want to talk to all the guys for a second. Think about all the women in your life that you love – daughters, wives, moms, cousins, neighbors. This election is about their lives and protecting their freedoms.

Embryos have hearts & heartbeats. Here's a diagram of the embryonic heart 35 days postfertilization. It has 4 chambers & uses muscle contractions to unidirectionally pump blood thru the embryo's body exchanging O2 & CO2. Source: "The Developing Human" by Moore et al 10th Edition.

"No uterus no opinion" manages to be a terrible argument in a bunch of ways at once. It ignores millions of pro-life women. It wrongly presumes fathers aren't affected by pregnancy loss. And it dodges the central question of whether abortion kills valuable humans.

@crampell @NoteNeeded Georgia's abortion law didn't make a D&C in Thurman's situation a felony. It doesn't prevent interventions if either (1) there's no detectable heartbeat or (2) there's a medical emergency. Thurman's situation checks both boxes.

"Fetuses don't care if they're killed. They don't even know it's happening." If you came over to my house tonight and shot me in my sleep, I wouldn't know it was happening. Killing someone who doesn't get a chance to realize you're killing them is, in fact, still a problem.

Dear Pro-Choicers,. If you aren't foster parents, feel free to skip complaining that pro-lifers should foster more. Spare us the faux concern. Advocating for abortions doesn't help kids in foster care. Implying they'd be better off aborted is also less than helpful. xoxo,.SPL.

It doesn't matter how much we do to help women and children; the other side will always say we are only pro-birth. And it doesn't matter that they say that. We don't help in the hopes of winning over people who can't stand us. We help because it's right. We help because it helps.

Per the Turnaway study, women who gave birth after being denied abortion *overwhelmingly* (1) parented their children, (2) maternally bonded to their children, and (3) no longer wished they'd aborted. Abortion is a permanent solution to temporary problems.

Amber Thurman had leftover fetal tissue in her body, developed sepsis, and needed a D&C. But Georgia's abortion ban had made performing this procedure a felony, with few exceptions. It took 20 hours for doctors to finally operate. By then, it was too late.
