A Defense of New Jersey Pregnancy Centers: Responding to Planned Parenthood Misinformation

In 2023, Planned Parenthood Action Fund of New Jersey released a report riddled with speculative claims, unfounded assertions, and flawed reasoning, intending to smear and discredit pregnancy centers. Pregnancy centers in New Jersey not only serve their communities well but do so in full compliance with New Jersey law, providing millions of dollars in goods and services at no cost to their clients.

The Treatment of Human Embryos Created through IVF: The U.S. and 15 Selected Countries’ Regulations

This paper examines the present status of in vitro fertilization laws, regulations, and guidelines in a sampling of countries. While countries like Italy, Germany, and Poland have regulated IVF in a way that attempts to protect human life in its earliest stages, the United States has virtually no IVF regulations regarding the treatment of human embryos, allowing for the creation, destruction, and indefinite freezing of countless embryonic human beings.

IVF Industry Regulation in the United States: Changes Are Needed to Protect Embryonic Children and their Families

Federal, state, and professional regulations provide a very limited patchwork of protections for IVF patients, let alone their unborn children created through the procedure. There is a need for improved regulation of the IVF industry, both federally and at the state level.

ACOG Peddles Disinformation About Pro-Life Laws, Plays Politics With Women’s Lives

Last week, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) called for states to repeal pro-life laws because they “are preventing ob-gyns and other clinicians from providing health care to their patients.” ACOG specifically condemned “attempts to misuse examples of tragic deaths that result from abortion bans” by “groups aiming to advance their harmful anti-abortion political agenda.” As a board-certified OB-GYN who practices in Texas, a state with a pro-life law, I’m appalled at these claims.

Fact Sheet: Third Trimester Abortion and “Abortion Up to Birth”

While many abortion centers only perform abortions in early pregnancy, there are several abortion centers that advertise abortions in the third trimester for any reason. Although media coverage tends to focus on third trimester abortions performed because the unborn baby has a serious health condition or a threat exists to the mother’s life, research shows that many third trimester abortions are performed for the same reasons unrelated to serious maternal or fetal health concerns as earlier abortions

Data shows Texas doctors perform abortions to save life of the mother, despite claims from politicians, media

Dr. Ingrid Skop, vice president and director of medical affairs at Charlotte Lozier Institute, told Fox News Digital that "intentional media misinformation" about Texas pro-life laws initially left many physicians confused and fearful, but that the situation has improved after the Texas Medical Board and the Texas Supreme Court issued guidance to physicians, reassuring them that they may use their "reasonable medical judgment" to determine when to intervene, and the risk of maternal death does not need to be "imminent."

Fact Sheet: Are Pro-Life State Laws Preventing Pregnant Women from Receiving Emergency Care?

Articles highlighting poor quality medical care in pro-life states have raised concerns that state laws are preventing pregnant women from obtaining necessary emergency care. However, all pro-life state laws allow doctors to treat women with pregnancy emergencies, no law requires “imminence” before a doctor can intervene, and every pro-life state permits doctors to treat women suffering from miscarriages or ectopic pregnancies. Doctors who fail to provide patients with necessary emergency treatment therefore may be committing malpractice.

Prenatal Tax Credits and Child Support for the Unborn: A Literature Review

Prenatal tax credits and child support for the unborn have a firm foundation in common law, as well as statutory and judicial precedent. Prenatal tax credits at the federal, state, and local levels hold out the promise of potentially enhanced birth weights and improved food stability, especially if the credit is provided monthly, is refundable, and is worth at least 10% of the federal child tax credit amount.
