Is this funny or sad? Maybe both. Image
Our children are valuable before they were born, and so are yours. Image
Such a hopeful thought Image
It's way past time. Image
As a baseline: Image
If you're against abortion, we're on the same team Image

Monica speaking (so not our resident attorney, Kelsey). I'm slowly reading through the Dobbs oral arguments from Dec 1, and I'm going to put my random thoughts in this thread. 🧵Full transcript here: supremecourt.gov/oral_arguments…
Beginning of oral arguments by Solicitor General Scott Stewart: "Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey haunt our country..."
Justice Sotomayor says Case has never been challenged. Am I misunderstanding the meaning here? Haven't there been many, many laws designed to challenge Roe and Casey? Does Sotomayor mean only that the challenges haven't been successful?

"If you want to decrease abortion, why not support better sex education, contraceptive access, and healthcare access instead of trying to outlaw abortion? These methods reduce abortions, while making abortion illegal doesn't."

There are several facets to our answer. 🧵1/5
We do support comprehensive sex education and better access to contraception. Better to prevent unintended pregnancy than have to grapple with abortion or unintended birth. 2/5
That said, outlawing abortion dramatically reduces abortion. Even more mild restrictions (limits on taxpayer funding, parental notification laws) significantly reduce abortion. We link to decades of research demonstrating as much in this thread: 3/5

Abortion lobbyists are hoping for a major backlash in their favor. They shouldn't count on it. secularprolife.org/2021/12/a-mode…
I predict that five years from now, American opinion on abortion and Roe v. Wade will have moved in a strongly pro-life direction, as evidenced by reputable polls.
I am not basing this prediction on a grand ethical revolution, as much as I would like to see that happen. Nor am I basing it on an increase in personal experiences with life-saving laws, although that may be a factor.

New peer-reviewed article just published. "Current neuroscientific evidence indicates the possibility of fetal pain perception during the first trimester (<14 weeks gestation)." journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…
A particularly horrifying excerpt. Until the 1980s we performed surgery on newborns with paralytics but not pain meds, assuming they lacked the higher cortical function for it to matter. Image
Sometimes PCers argue fetuses aren't "persons" until later in pregnancy when they display certain EEG patterns. But when pressed they don't tell me what EEG patterns they're referring to or what they think those patterns mean. Kinda suspect they're just making up criteria. Image

Let's start with the obvious: #prolife people should never resort to harassment or abuse. That said, Danielle is onto something; I *do* feel especially angry when people use the language of parenting to justify abortion. Why is that? 🧵
I've written an entire (unpublished) novel on this theme, and it's not especially realistic to distill my thoughts into 280 characters at 2 in the morning, but here goes:

Abortion as a "parenting decision" shatters the idea of a parent's unconditional love.
If you subscribe to Danielle's view, you do not -- cannot -- love your children unconditionally. You love them because they fulfilled your conditions. They were conceived at a convenient time; their prenatal screenings revealed no disabilities.

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.
