U.S. Catholic bishops spoke out again this week against a radical pro-abortion bill slated for a vote in the U.S. Senate, calling it a “violation of human rights.”

In a letter to the U.S. Senate, Archbishop William Lori of Baltimore and Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York slammed the deceptively-named Women’s Health Protection Act for treating the killing of unborn babies in abortions as the moral equivalent to health care, Crux reports.

Abortion is “the opposite of health care and is an extreme violation of human rights,” the bishops told Senate leaders. “We strongly urge you to reject this bill and to put the energy and resources of our federal government behind policies that fully recognize and support both mothers and their children.”

When a woman suffered a life-threatening medical emergency at the Planned Parenthood abortion facility in Aurora, Illinois, last December, the caller did something that had the potential of adding risk to an already life-or-death emergency.

The Planned Parenthood caller asked that the ambulance respond with no sirens.  This is known to delay ambulance response times and is unconscionable in this case when the woman was in dire need of emergency hospital care.

Requests for no sirens usually indicates that the abortion facility does not want to draw attention to the fact that they just botched an abortion.

It was December 18, 2021, when the ambulance rolled up to the Aurora Planned Parenthood, responding to call for help for a woman suffering a suspected uterine perforation during a risky second trimester abortion.

In an article, in the Irish Independent,  Dr. Susan Robinson, who does abortions in the third trimester,  says that in the state of New Mexico (where she works) there are no restrictions on late term abortions.

She says:

“So there is nothing legal to stop me from doing any abortion that I think is appropriate.”

The article describes how Robinson uses ultrasound to date the ages of babies in the third trimester. However, this is unreliable:

“For pregnancies above 30 weeks Robinson relies on an ultrasound to check the age of the fetus but admits that this notoriously inaccurate method, combined with the often hazy conception dates provided by the women, can produce a window of error of plus or minus three weeks.”

Nebraska lawmakers listened to testimony Thursday about a bill that would protect unborn babies by banning all abortions as soon as Roe v. Wade is overturned.

KETV 7 reports state Sen. Joni Albrecht, R-Thurston, said her bill, the Nebraska Human Life Protection Act (LB 933), would ensure that every human life is protected in Nebraska.

“Since Roe v. Wade was decided in 1973, there have been almost 200,000 abortions in Nebraska,” Albrecht said.

Sometimes referred to as a trigger bill, Albrecht said 12 other states already have similar laws in place to ban abortions as soon as the U.S.

Colorado Democrat lawmakers rejected three pro-life bills this week that would have protected unborn babies and mothers.

The Gazette reports Democrats, who control the state legislature by a strong majority, voted against all three bills in 4-7 party-line votes.

Two of the bills, the Protect Human Life at Conception Act (House Bill 1047) and the Abolishing Abortion in Colorado Act (House Bill 1079), would have banned the killing of unborn babies in abortions for basically any reason, according to the Denver Post.

These bills would have saved thousands of unborn babies’ lives each year – including viable, late-term unborn babies.

It should surprise no one that Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, President Joe Biden’s nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court, has a pro-abortion record.

Biden promised that he would appoint a black female justice who supports the so-called “right” to abortion on demand.

And on Friday, he did. The White House announced Jackson as the president’s choice to replace retiring pro-abortion Justice Stephen Breyer, and pro-abortion groups quickly praised her as an excellent candidate.

Jackson once sided with them on a Massachusetts case that involved restricting pro-life advocates’ free speech rights.

According to Christian Headlines, Jackson signed an amicus brief in 2001 supporting a Massachusetts law that created a buffer zone hindering peaceful pro-life sidewalk counselors from reaching out to women outside abortion facilities.

Every so often, my Facebook feed delivers a story which warms my heart and renews my faith in humanity.

Today was such a day.

The post that filled me with joy came courtesy of Dr. Monique Ruberu, a Philadelphia-area physician who is in the business of saving lives.

In her posting, Dr. Ruberu noted that, nine months ago, a frightened young woman went into a notorious abortion facility and took the first of two abortion pills that had been recommended to her to end her child’s life.

As Dr. Ruberu wrote, “She later regretted this choice and called the abortion center to find out if anything could be done…They told her to go to the ER…the ER had no help for her…”

While she was waiting in the emergency room, she desperately searched the Internet and came across a woman named Marlene Downing, then the director of the Hope Pregnancy Center in Philly.
