All eyes on the race for Governor of Virginia! Virginians will elect a new Governor on November 2nd; early voting has already begun
blog.secularprolife.org/2021/10/all-ey…
Current Virginia Governor Ralph Northam (D) — a strong abortion supporter who is infamous for his pro-infanticide comments and blackface scandal — is term-limited.
Running to succeed him are Democrat Terry McAuliffe, who served as Governor of Virginia from 2014 to 2018, and Republican Glenn Youngkin, a political outsider.
McAuliffe compiled a terrible abortion record during his previous time in office. Among other things, he vetoed legislation to stop taxpayer subsidies of the abortion industry. This time around, he has pledged to be a "brick wall" against any abortion limits.
Youngkin is campaigning on a pro-life platform. In an open letter to pro-life advocates, he affirmed that life begins at conception and explicitly stated that his view was informed by science, not just faith.

#Prochoice public writing professor deletes source showing embryos have hearts: blog.secularprolife.org/2021/09/pro-ch…

Buckle in, because this may be the most egregious case of pro-abortion media bias we've ever seen.
When Carrie Baker wrote an article for Ms. Magazine claiming that heartbeat bills are anti-science, she made a crucial error: she linked to an embryology textbook which told the truth.
When we pointed this out to her, she blocked us on Twitter, deleted the source from her article, and omitted any notation of the change to her article.

Baker is a professor of "feminist public writing" at Smith College.

In @MsMagazine @CarrieNBaker writes there's no heart at 6 weeks LMP, then links to a "basic embryology textbook" which states "heart begins to pump fluid through blood vessels by day 20, and the first red blood cells appear the next day." I'm going with the embryology textbook.
Here's her article: msmagazine.com/2021/09/07/six…
Here are a bunch of sources--including scanning electron microscope imagery--showing there is a heart and heartbeat at 6 weeks LMP.

The Rehumanize Conference is about to start! Especially looking forward to Secular #ProLife's 4pm presentation "Deconstructing Three Myths about Abortion." #Rehumanize2021
We'll be live-tweeting all the abortion-related content, which also includes a "Global Perspectives on Abortion" panel, former PP worker turned whistleblower Mayra Rodriguez, SFLA's Apologetics 101, and (most timely) "Pro-Life Victories in the Law."
@RehumanizeAimee kicking it off with an introduction to radical inclusivity. "Our diversity is a strength, not a weakness."

The pro-choice position requires so many lies to endure:

--embryos don't have hearts
--abortion restrictions don't decrease abortion
--anti-abortion activists are men trying to control women

Regardless of your ethical views, these are *factually false.* But PCers believe them.
Embryos do have hearts:
Abortion restrictions significantly decrease abortion:

If the Texas heartbeat law stays in place long enough, Texas will likely see an increase in effective contraceptive use and decrease in unintended pregnancies. This correlation has been observed with abortion restrictions before. Sources below. ImageImage
"A state’s antiabortion attitudes, which likely contribute to the enactment of restrictive abortion laws, are a major factor in inducing greater use of highly effective contraceptive methods." Social Science Research, January 2012 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
