Pope Francis Condemns Abortion: “Abortion is Murder. Human Life Has to be Respected”

by Administrator

Pope Francis condemned abortion in no uncertain terms today, saying that abortion kills babies whose lives begin at conception and must be respected.

Speaking with members of the media on board a flight from Slovakia to the Vatican, Pope Francis said, “Abortion is more than an issue. Abortion is murder. Those who carry out abortions kill.”

The head of the Catholic Church made it clear that unborn children are human beings started at fertilization.

“The textbooks teach us that. But is it right to take it out to solve a problem? And this is why the Church is so strict on this issue because it is kind of like accepting this is accepting daily murder,” the Pope added.

Hospital Kills “Wrong” Twin in Abortion, Both Babies Now Dead

Hospital Kills “Wrong” Twin in Abortion, Both Babies Now Dead

by Administrator

A British hospital botched a “selective reduction” abortion in 2019, mistakenly killing the healthy twin instead of the ailing sibling, a new report revealed.

The Sun reports both unborn babies died after the botched abortion at the Birmingham Women’s and Children’s NHS Foundation Trust in England.

Doctors advised the mother to undergo a “selective” abortion after noticing that one of her twins was not growing properly, according to the report.

Selective reduction abortions are a disturbing practice in which one or more of multiple unborn babies are killed in an abortion while the others are spared. Sometimes selective reduction abortions are recommended for medical reasons, the idea being to abort one child to save the other; but other times, they are done because the parents want only one child or want a child with certain characteristics.

A car pulled up to Fred as he prayed at the 40 Days for Life 365 vigil in Cleveland.

“She wants an abortion but she is having second thoughts,” said a voice from the back seat. “We want you to tell her not to have the abortion.”

Fred inquired why the frightened mother wanted an abortion. “She is having triplets,” replied the back-seat voice.

When Fred offered his congratulations, the mother asked, “Don’t you think that is too many at once?”

“Not at all,” Fred answered, assuring her the triplets are a “wonderful…beautiful gift from God” and a blessing.

Cyndi Lauper Promotes Killing Babies: “Girls Just Want to Have” Abortions

by Administrator

Cyndi Lauper, the 1980s hit singer known for “Girls Just Want to Have Fun,” advocated for the killing of unborn babies in abortions Sunday during the MTV Video Music Awards.

In a reference to her most famous song, Lauper told the audience that “girls just want to have … control over our bodies,” meaning abortion, Breitbart reports.

“I won a Moon Person at the very first VMAs in 1984,” Lauper said before presenting an award Sunday. “Things are a little different now.”

“Yeah, girls still want to have fun. But we also want to have funds, equal pay, control over our bodies, you know, fundamental rights,” she added and then raised her fist in the air.

Doctors Told Mom 5 Times to Abort Disabled Baby Boy Who Wouldn’t Survive, He’s Now Perfectly Healthy

The first day of school is an important milestone for every child, but for 4-year-old Davey Bates and his parents, the occasion is especially meaningful.

Before he was born, Davey was diagnosed with a rare congenital disorder and doctors gave him a slim chance of survival, according to The Sun.

Worse, they strongly advised his parents, Sami and Paul Bates of Mirfield, in Yorkshire, England, to abort him — not just once but five times.

But the Bateses prayed for a miracle, and today their son is healthy and thriving. He recently began his first day of school with thousands of other children across England.

10% of Newborn Babies Who Die in Belgium are Killed in Euthanasia

10% of Newborn Babies Who Die in Belgium are Killed in Euthanasia

by Administrator

10% of newborn deaths in Belgium are euthanasia deaths.

A recent study has brought to light the practice of deliberate euthanasia to newborns for whom the medical team considered that there was “no hope of a bearable future”. These practices concerned 10% of the neonates (0-1 year) who died in Flanders, between September 2016 and December 2017 (i. e., 24 babies).

This practice is illegal in Belgium, yet no authority seems to take offense. The law only allows the euthanasia of a minor if he or she is capable of discernment and conscious at the time of the request for euthanasia.

Herron nursing home

A Québec inquest into Covid related nursing home deaths has uncovered some disturbing facts. A report by Tu Thanh Ha that was published in the Globe and Mail on September 14 reports on testimony concerning the Herron nursing home in the suburb of Dorval in Montréal. The report indicates that Covid was cited as the cause of death at the Herron nursing home to hide the fact that residents were dying of dehydration, malnurishment and neglect, also known as elder abuse.

An auxilary nurse (name is protected) reportedly stated in her testimony:

Starting March 13, 2020, a government directive banned visitors, including family caregivers, from entering nursing homes in Quebec.

Washington Post: Women are leading the fight to end abortion

Washington Post: Women are leading the fight to end abortion

by Administrator

There’s an assumption by many people in the United States that abortion restrictions are being driven by men in order to control women and force them into pregnancy. This, however, is far from the truth, as was pointed out by the Washington Post in a recent article focused on the women who are fueling the pro-life movement.

“Republican women elected in the past 20 years are more conservative than their earlier counterparts; at times they’re even more conservative than Republican men,” reported the Post. “In Congress and in state legislatures, Republican women actively support abortion restrictions and are especially likely to introduce such bills when the ideological distance between Democratic and Republican women grows — a distance that has been growing as the parties, in general, grow more polarized.

Pro-lifer cleared of false stalking charges made by abortion worker

Pro-lifer cleared of false stalking charges made by abortion worker

by Administrator

Body camera footage recently saved a Missouri pro-lifer from going to court for alleged stalking after an abortion facility worker made false accusations about him.

John Ryan is no stranger to the pro-life movement, having pioneered sidewalk counseling activism in his home state as early as the 1970s. Usually, he stands peacefully outside the Hope Clinic for Women in Granite City, Illinois, a late-term abortion facility located just across the Illinois/Missouri border. Along with other members of the pro-life group, Defenders of the Unborn, Ryan prays and offers abortion-minded women resources about abortion alternatives.

In a statement emailed to Live Action News, Ryan’s attorney Brian Fellows of Thomas More Society, noted that on August 6, 2021, Ryan engaged a pregnant abortion worker in conversation as she walked into the building via a rear entry.

Three observations on the Justice Department’s lawsuit against the Texas Heartbeat Act

Three observations on the Justice Department’s lawsuit against the Texas Heartbeat Act

by Administrator

(National Review) Ed Whelan has some good initial thoughts on the very odd Justice Department lawsuit against the Texas abortion law, specifically the fact that the complaint does not identify an actual statutory or other cause of action and that DOJ’s parens patriae legal theory would appear to give the federal government standing to sue to strike down any state law that violates the Constitution, regardless of whether other actors in our system would have standing to sue. Let me add three preliminary observations of my own, specifically focusing on the portion of the complaint that asserts that the federal government has a right to sue because the Texas law interferes with federal programs.

Despite pro-abortion denial, medical doctors have known for decades that preborn babies can feel pain

by Administrator

In January of 1984 President Ronald Reagan gave a speech before the National Religious Broadcasters which addressed abortion and the ability of the preborn child to feel pain. He stated in part, “This nation cannot continue turning a blind eye and a deaf ear to the taking of some 4,000 unborn children’s lives every day. That’s one every twenty-one seconds… Abortion has denied them [unborn children] the most basic of human rights. We are all infinitely poorer for their loss.”

The president went on to state, “Medical science doctors confirm that when the lives of the unborn are snuffed out, they often feel pain, pain that is long and agonizing… How can we survive as a free nation when some decide that others are not fit to live and should be done away with.

In Focus on the Family’s See Life series, a woman named Laura told her story of choosing life after her daughter was diagnosed in the womb with a fatal brain disorder. A labor and delivery nurse, Laura and her husband were pregnant with their fourth child. She was excited to go in for her 20-week ultrasound but knew it was the one where potential problems with the baby could be discovered.

“I knew, because it’s my fourth time, that this sonographer was going slow and quiet,” she said. “And I remember thinking, ‘Oh, no, no. No. This is not going to be us.’”

British Medical Association drops opposition to assisted suicide

by Administrator

The British Medical Association, the United Kingdom’s largest doctors union, has voted to adopt a “neutral” stance on assisted suicide and euthanasia. The move reflects a change in the association’s official position, which, since 2006, had previously opposed the practice of assisted dying. According to The Guardian, it was a close vote, with 49% in favor, 48% opposed, and 3% abstaining. The news outlet reports that the BMA has about 150,000 members.

With the change in position, the British Medical Association will now neither support nor oppose any changes in the law regarding assisted suicide and euthanasia. The organization did stress that physicians should have legally protected rights to conscientiously object from participating in any form of assisted dying.

The first inalienable right mentioned in the Declaration of Independence is the right to life. Yet America, which enshrines that right in our founding document, does a worse job of protecting unborn life than most other countries. The Supreme Court now has a chance to begin ending this injustice and ensuring that America lives up to its promise.

We’re both shocked at how far the U.S. falls short in protecting life. We’ve spent the better part of our careers striving to change that. One of us (Ambassador Haley) has also seen how life is devalued across the rest of the world.

Earlier this month, Florida abortionist Ali Azima’s Venice Woman’s Health Center permanently closed following a yearlong investigation led by the pro-life watchdog group, Reprotection, Inc. According to his website, the abortionist has retired.

Working in collaboration with the Thomas More Society, the group drew attention to the facility’s unscrupulous practices by filing multiple complaints with the Florida Department of Health’s Division of Medical Quality Assurance and Division of Health Quality Assurance. 

One such complaint, filed in October last year, alleges that Azima and his staff initially refused to call an ambulance for a patient who experienced difficulty breathing after receiving anesthesia for a surgical abortion.

In a stunning move, President Joe Biden has fired the father of a teen with Down syndrome from a national disability council.

As Fox News reported, the decision has been heartbreaking for Kurt Kondrich’s 18-year-old daughter, Chloe.

President Donald Trump appointed Kurt to a two-year position with the Presidential Commission for Persons with Disabilities in 2020.

In an unprecedented action, President Biden has been terminating Trump-appointed Presidential advisory council members. He is violating a long tradition of permitting council appointees to complete their terms. The councils are non-partisan and play an advisory role.

Empty nest couple Karen and Tobias Thompson have a full house again.

The Cincinnati, Ohio couple sacrificed their time and opened up their home to adopt two sets of twins on Sept. 9 – biological half siblings who were separated in the foster system, Fox News reports.

Karen Thompson, 55, said caring for Wilnya and William, who are 14, and Shania and Sharleathea, who are 9, has been a challenge. But after raising seven children, she said she and her husband decided that they could be “spreading the love” to the twins, too.

“We had an empty house, an empty nest, and then we ended up with the four,” she told Fox News.

The technology company Apple told its Texas employees Friday that it will pay for them to abort their unborn babies in other states now that the heartbeat law is in effect.

ABC 7 News reports Apple CEO Tim Cook said the company’s medical insurance plan will cover out-of-state abortion costs for employees in Texas.

He made the statement during an employees-only meeting; The New York Times obtained a recording of the meeting and reported about it over the weekend. Tech Crunch and other news outlets confirmed the statement with Apple.

In recent weeks, a number of politically left companies have condemned the Texas pro-life law, which may save as many as 100 unborn babies from abortion every day.

Nine out of 17 abortion providers on staff with Whole Woman’s Health abortion chain in Texas quit when the Heartbeat Act went into effect on September 1, according to The Guardian.

As is common in many states, the “vast majority” of Whole Woman’s Health abortion providers were ‘circuit rider’ abortionists who did not reside in Texas, hailing instead from different parts of the country. For most of them, the stakes simply became too high to continue working in Texas.

Whole Woman’s Health’s CEO and founder, Amy Hagstrom Miller, lamented that “Just because we are complying with SB8 doesn’t stop extremists from saying that we are defying SB8.

The work of pro-life sidewalk counselors cannot be overstated.

New Hampshire Executive Council votes to strip public funding from abortion providers

New Hampshire Executive Council votes to strip public funding from abortion providers

by Administrator

New Hampshire’s Executive Council voted 4-1 last Wednesday to reject three contracts providing public funding to abortion providers across the state, citing concerns over compliance with a new state law requiring financial separation of abortion and family planning services at facilities that receive taxpayer dollars.

The three abortion providers that were denied the contracts include Planned Parenthood of Northern New England, Equality Health Center, and Lovering Health Center. In total, the contracts were valued at around $640,000. Funds were allocated to several reproductive health facilities that do not offer abortions. 

The state law “prohibits the distribution of state funds awarded by the department of health and human services to a reproductive health care facility for provision of abortion services.”

Planned Parenthood CEO: Pro-Life Americans are “Cruel” Because They Oppose Abortion

MSNBC host Craig Melvin brought on Planned Parenthood president Alexis McGill Johnson on Tuesday to address a “Missouri’s restrictive abortion law.” He goaded her to “help folks understand” why anyone would oppose abortion. She made her usual argument that the “cruelty” by pro-lifers is “the point.” The people who prevent the killing of babies are the “cruel” ones.

Melvin said the Missouri law, passed in 2019, “bans abortions at or around the eighth week of pregnancy, it has no exception for rape, no exception for incest. It also, it also bans abortions based on Down Syndrome diagnosis.” In other words, no killing the babies with disabilities.
