Pennsylvania Legal Brief Argues: There’s No Right to Kill Babies in Abortions With Our Tax Dollars

Pennsylvania Legal Brief Argues: There’s No Right to Kill Babies in Abortions With Our Tax Dollars

by Administrator

The Pennsylvania state Constitution does not contain a so-called right to abortion—let alone a right for an abortion paid for by Pennsylvania taxpayers.

That is the holding of a friend-of-the-court brief filed by the Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation, an affiliate of National Right to Life, and the Thomas More Society, a non-profit public interest law firm dedicated to restoring respect for human life.

The two pro-life powerhouses filed the brief in connection with the case known as Allegheny Reproductive Health Center v. Pennsylvania Department of Human Services.

In the case, which is now before the PA Supreme Court, the abortion industry is arguing for a so-called fundamental right to abortion and a right to funding of abortion at taxpayer expense.

Dangerous Michigan abortion facility calls ambulance after perforating woman’s uterus

Dangerous Michigan abortion facility calls ambulance after perforating woman’s uterus

by Administrator

According to pro-life watchdog group Operation Rescue, Eastland Women’s Clinic, an abortion facility in Eastpoint, Michigan, had to transfer a woman to a hospital after perforating her uterus during a dilation and evacuation (D&E) abortion on July 23, 2021.

According to the 911 records obtained by Operation Rescue, facility staffers did not treat the serious injury as an emergency. “Doc tried to perform a D&E on a patient,” the staffer began. “He believes her uterus was perforated so therefore we have to transfer her to the hospital so she can get taken care of.”

After explaining the woman was conscious and bleeding, the staffer said the situation was not emergent.

Pro-abortion book misleads teens about gruesome D&E ‘dismemberment’ abortions

Pro-abortion book misleads teens about gruesome D&E ‘dismemberment’ abortions

by Administrator

The pro-abortion book, “My Body My Choice: The Fight for Abortion Rights,” was written to motivate teens to join the pro-abortion movement. It contains many lies, obfuscations, and euphemisms.

For example, here’s how the book describes a second-trimester D&E abortion procedure — leaving out any real details or potential risks:

Another procedure is called dilation and evacuation, or D&E. It’s generally used for abortions a little later in pregnancy, and it uses both suction and medical instruments to empty the uterus. This takes a little longer – up to 15 minutes.

This is a very misleading and sanitized description.

Assisted-Suicide Mendacity: Today’s ‘Strict Protections’ Become Tomorrow’s Unjust ‘Barriers’

Assisted-Suicide Mendacity: Today’s ‘Strict Protections’ Become Tomorrow’s Unjust ‘Barriers’

This article was published by National Review online on November 13, 2021.

By Wesley J Smith

When assisted-suicide mongers promise strict guidelines to protect against abuse, rest assured, it’s nothing but a con. It won’t take long before these same advocates denigrate the very “protections” they promoted as “barriers” or “obstacles” to a good death.

Assisted-suicide-movement camp followers in the media eagerly promote the new message without a mention that they also pushed the “strict guidelines against abuse” trope. Latest example, Paula Span’s “New Old Age” column in the assisted-suicide-friendly New York Times.

An inspiring story was published on October 3 by Tubantia news  (Netherlands) concerning Emma (20).

American Medical Association President: Killing Babies in Abortions is “Important Health Care”

American Medical Association President: Killing Babies in Abortions is “Important Health Care”

The American Medical Association is being led by abortion activists who believe killing an unborn baby in an abortion is “health care.”

On Wednesday, Dr. Gerald E. Harmon, president of the AMA, wrote a column on the association website criticizing a Mississippi law that prohibits abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy.

Most countries in the world prohibit abortions after 15 weeks, if not sooner, but Harmon slammed the Mississippi law as dangerous and “unacceptable.”

“In the U.S., abortion is a safe and common medical procedure that remains an important component of reproductive health care, which in turn is essential to overall health and well-being,” he wrote.

Federal Appeals Court Rejects Biden Demand, Lets Texas Abortion Ban Keep Saving Babies

Federal Appeals Court Rejects Biden Demand, Lets Texas Abortion Ban Keep Saving Babies

The full 5th Circuit Court of Appeals has rejected Joe Biden’s demand to stop the Texas abortion ban that has saved thousands of babies from abortion.

Last week, U.S. District Judge Robert Pitman, who was appointed by Barack Obama, sided with the Biden administration’s Justice Department, which sued the state, arguing Texas’ law was unconstitutional because it went against Roe v. Wade.

Shortly after Judge Pitman issued his order, Texas officials quickly appealed and they sought an emergency stay of Pitman’s order in the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, which is known as perhaps the nation’s most conservative appellate court.

Appellate judges then temporarily blocked the lower court’s ruling and the Justice Department filed papers with the appeals court arguing that allowing the law to stay in effect would cause “substantial harm to the United States’ sovereign interests and would disserve the public interest.”

The 2363 campaign: This video changed their minds. Will it change yours?

by Administrator

Live Action officially launched its new campaign, 2363, on Saturday in Santa Monica, California. The multi-million dollar human rights campaign aims to raise awareness to the fact that 2,363 abortions are committed in America each day, making abortion the leading cause of death for children.

Through 2363, Live Action hopes to educate the nation on the humanity of preborn children while emphasizing the imperative to protect these children in the womb. The campaign will also connect women and families with life-saving resources and equip new pro-life activists to end abortion in their communities.

The kickoff event welcomed over 2,000 attendees and featured appearances by leaders in the pro-life movement.

Roe v. Wade Should be Overturned Because Science Proves Unborn Babies are Human Beings

Roe v. Wade Should be Overturned Because Science Proves Unborn Babies are Human Beings

The Supreme Court this term will hear a major abortion case, which will provide the justices with the opportunity to make a long-overdue course correction on vague and unworkable standards set in motion by the court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that don’t account for advances in modern science.

Specifically, the court will answer “whether all pre-viability prohibitions on elective abortions are unconstitutional” (that is, prohibitions on abortion before the child can survive outside the womb).

The case, Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, stems from Mississippi’s 2018 Gestational Age Act, which prohibits abortions after 15 weeks with exceptions for a medical emergency or a severe fetal abnormality.

Joe Biden Asks Supreme Court to Block Texas Abortion Ban, Which Has Saved Thousands of Babies

Joe Biden Asks Supreme Court to Block Texas Abortion Ban, Which Has Saved Thousands of Babies

Today, Joe Biden’s administration officially asked the Supreme Court to block the Texas abortion ban, which has saved thousands of babies from abortions.

As LifeNews.com reported late last week, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals rejected Biden’s demand to block the ban. Previously, U.S. District Judge Robert Pitman, who was appointed by Barack Obama, sided with the Biden administration’s Justice Department, which sued the state, arguing Texas’ law was unconstitutional because it went against Roe v. Wade.

Then, the 5th Circuit rejected Biden’s demand, voting 2-1 to allow the ban to stay in place as the underlying lawsuit continues. That was the third time it has allowed the law to stay in effect, responding to various pro-abortion legal challenges.

18 States Tell Federal Court to Uphold Texas Abortion Ban, Protect the “Sanctity of Unborn Life”

18 States Tell Federal Court to Uphold Texas Abortion Ban, Protect the “Sanctity of Unborn Life”

On Thursday, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit overturned Federal District Court’s Judge Robert Pitman preliminary injunction against the Texas Heartbeat Law and allowed the continued enforcement of the Texas law.

Prior to the third ruling in Texas’s favor, the Biden-Harris Department of Justice announced that it intends to ask the Supreme Court to vacate the stay. And it did so this morning.

Last week, just prior to the 5th District Court’s decision, Indiana’s Attorney General Todd Rokita led an 18-state effort to protect Texas’ pro-life law. He said the federal appeals court decision “bodes well” for other states’ efforts to defend their sovereign authority.

Catholic Priest Condemns Abortion: Killing Babies is a “Crime Against Humanity”

Catholic Priest Condemns Abortion: Killing Babies is a “Crime Against Humanity”

In gatherings across the nation at the beginning of this month, abortion advocates vowed they would not “go back” to the days when it was not yet legal to kill children in the womb.

As in most things, the way we see the current Supreme Court abortion case Dobbs v. Jackson’s Women’s Health and what it might portend for our nation is a matter of perspective. Those of us who recognize that what has gone on these last nearly 49 years is a crime against humanity see the end of abortion as a big step forward for the USA.

But you don’t even have to be pro-life to see that much has changed since 1973, when an imaginary right to abortion was conjured from the U.S.

Mississippi Attorney General Tells Supreme Court to Overturn Roe v. Wade

Attorney General Lynn Fitch today filed a reply brief with the Supreme Court of the United States in Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization, underscoring the need to overturn Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey and return abortion policymaking to the people.

“Finally forced to defend those cases, respondents drive home the stark reality: Roe and Casey are indefensible,” Attorney General Lynn Fitchwrote in the reply. “Respondents do not claim that constitutional text or structure establishes a right to abortion. And they do not seriously argue that Roe and Casey are correct as an original matter.

“For two generations, the Supreme Court has prevented state lawmakers from acting on the will of the people to protect vulnerable unborn babies and mothers,” said SBA List President Marjorie Dannenfelser. “Scientific advances reveal the undeniable humanity of unborn children, who can feel pain by 15 weeks. Women have achieved historic gains in social equality not because of Roe, but in spite of it. In the 21st century no woman in America need be forced to choose between her dreams and her children’s lives. Yet the United States’ extreme abortion laws have yet to reflect this progress, allowing abortion on demand up to birth.

Lawyers representing the abortion industry are seeking to strike down Pennsylvania’s long-standing ban on taxpayer funding of abortion.

The attorneys filed a brief with the PA Supreme Court, asking the High Court to abolish the Keystone State’s ban on Medicaid abortion funding in a case called Allegheny Reproductive Health Center v. Pennsylvania Department of Human Services.

Not only does Big Abortion want Pennsylvania taxpayers to foot the bill for abortion. The abortion industry is also calling on the state Supreme Court to establish a so-called right to abortion under the PA Constitution.

This plea by abortion businesses flies in the face of precedent.

The Women’s March Didn’t Speak for Millions of Women Who Regret Their Abortions

Another weekend and another so-called “Women’s March” has come and gone. The “Women’s March” was predictably loud and angry, and it was touted as representing the voices of American women who supposedly are demanding that abortion be kept legal under any circumstance and at any time.

It gathered far more attention than the hundreds of thousands who come to Washington for the March for Life—an event that has taken place every year since 1974!

This March also ignore someone else: the baby in the womb.

Lost in the maze of favorable media attention was be a sad truth: That many of those in attendance will very probably have had abortions themselves or assisted others to get them.
