Abortion

Fact Sheet: Dismemberment Abortion

“Dismemberment abortion” is a layman’s term describing a dilation and evacuation (D&E) procedure that is intended to end the life of an unborn child via induced abortion, typically performed in the second trimester. During this procedure, the unborn baby and other pregnancy tissue are removed in a piecemeal fashion with suction and instruments. There is substantial evidence that unborn babies are capable of experiencing pain by at least 15 weeks of gestation, and as early as 12 weeks, around the point in pregnancy when dismemberment abortions are first performed. Even abortionists who perform dismemberment abortions have testified to the brutality of tearing apart an unborn baby at this stage of development.

Fact Sheet: Abortions at or after 15 Weeks in the United States

Modern scientific literature shows that unborn babies can feel pain by 15 weeks gestation, and possibly as early as 12 weeks. The majority of abortions occur in the first trimester, but a substantial number are performed at 15 weeks or later on unborn babies who are capable of experiencing pain. Available data suggests that tens of thousands of abortions on unborn babies who feel pain are performed at 15 weeks or later each year.

Life & the Law

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.

Dobbs and Medical Deserts: Will Pro-Life Laws Drive Away Doctors and Lead to Hospital Closures?

Post-Dobbs, pro-life states’ efforts to protect life have been met with pushback, including widespread claims that the laws are contributing to hospital closures and driving doctors away. A close look at the data shows that these claims are unjustified. Pro-life states continue to train medical students, recruit future doctors, and position themselves for further growth.
