British Parliament Votes to Allow Do-It-Yourself Abortions, Killing Babies at Home

The Society for the Protection of Unborn Children (SPUC) has expressed dismay that MPs have voted for a motion to make the controversial pills by post abortion scheme permanent.

The amendment, which originated in the House of Lords, was passed by 215 votes to 188.

Alithea Williams, SPUC’s Public Policy Manager, said: “It is disgusting that a Healthcare bill has been hijacked to push through something that is not healthcare by any definition. Instead, it is a way to end the lives of unborn children that bypasses even the few safeguards for women that the abortion law provided.

“In approving this dangerous policy, MPs have ignored evidence of its dangers, and they have ignored women,” she continued.

Why an atheist opposes the legalization of assisted suicide and euthanasia?

Why an atheist opposes the legalization of assisted suicide and euthanasia?

The following speech was delivered by Kevin Yuill at a press conference in Rome opposing euthanasia and assisted suicide that was co-sponsored by the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition.

Kevin Yuill is the author of the book – Assisted Suicide: The Liberal, Humanist Case Against Legalisation.

I must apologise for the academic take on this but I find that the more I research and think about this subject, the more disturbing it gets.

Generosity in action: Crisis unites Hungarians to common cause

BUDAPEST, Hungary (CNS) — As thousands of refugees from Ukraine continue to cross over the Hungarian border, Budapest’s Keleti train station has become a central hub on their paths to escape violence and search for some sense of normalcy amid the chaos.

For the past two weeks, religious and other charitable organizations such as Caritas Hungary, the Knights of Malta and the Red Cross have distributed food, clothing and other items to the continuous waves of refugees coming through the station, which is always crowded.

The hustle and bustle at the station was no different March 12, as the various charities distributed much-needed food and basic materials not only to refugees from Ukraine, but also to the city’s poor and homeless who arrived at the station seeking help.

Doctors said baby with Down syndrome would die, told mom to abort before confirmed diagnosis

Doctors said baby with Down syndrome would die, told mom to abort before confirmed diagnosis

by Administrator

In a Daily Mail article, UK resident Hetty Blakey describes being misled by doctors about her child’s condition and pressured to abort. Blakey went to Lincoln County Hospital and had a nuchal translucency screening.

Told to abort without a proper diagnosis

Web MD describes this test:

The screening involves two steps. A blood test checks for levels of two substances — pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) and human chorionic gonadotropin. A special ultrasound, called a nuchal translucency screening, measures the back of the baby’s neck…

The combined result of the blood tests and the ultrasound gives you a sense of your baby’s risk.

Four-year-old with Down syndrome flees Ukraine while fighting cancer

Four-year-old with Down syndrome flees Ukraine while fighting cancer

As the situation in Ukraine becomes more precarious, more people are fleeing the country in the desperate hope of reaching safety. Some of the people at highest risk, however, are unable to escape easily. Many children with disabilities or fighting illnesses are trapped in hospitals or in their homes, while others are risking their lives to get across the border.

Tatiana Pakhaliuk is the mother of four-year-old Nikita Synytsky, who has Down syndrome and leukemia. From the beginning, the invasion was especially stressful for Nikita. “We are very nervous. My son – you see the voice [sound] of teeth, he pushes his teeth,” said his mother, noting something that he began doing after the Russians began attacking, in an interview with the Mirror.

Joe Biden Attends Mass One Day After Celebrating Abortion

Joe Biden Attends Mass One Day After Celebrating Abortion

When it comes to abortion, Joe Biden is one of the least “faithful” Catholics, yet he continues to attend Mass despite his aggressive promotion of abortion.

Last week, Biden condemned the Florida legislature for passing a bill to protect babies from late aboritons The bill would ban aboritons on babies after 15 weeks, but Biden, who keeps claiming he is a “devout” Catholic, trashed the pro-life bill.

Biden bad-mouthed Florida lawmakers Friday for passing a bill that would protect thousands of unborn babies from abortions every year, claiming the legislation is “dangerous” and killing babies in the womb is “health care.”

Abortion is the Number One Killer of African-Americans

Abortion is the Number One Killer of African-Americans

Recently, attorneys filed an appeal in the ongoing case of the D.C. government’s viewpoint discrimination against Black pro-life activists from the Frederick Douglass Foundation and allies from Students for Life of America. D.C. police arrested pro-life activists for chalking “Black Pre-born Lives Matter” on a public sidewalk while no arrests were made for those on the other ideological aisle who permanently painted Black Lives Matter on the street leading to the White House.

Using one hand, institutional powers plaster the headlines with stories of the police brutality that claimed 23 unarmed Black lives in 2018, while using the other hand to prop up and celebrate the abortion violence that claimed 117,626 unarmed Black children’s lives in the same year.

“I Am Chloe Emmanuelle Kondrich and I Am NOT a ‘Severe Birth Defect’”

“I Am Chloe Emmanuelle Kondrich and I Am NOT a ‘Severe Birth Defect’”

Some disability rights activists have taken to Twitter to condemn the World Health Organization for categorizing Down syndrome as among “the most common severe birth defects.”

The activists consider the WHO tweet to be dehumanizing and disrespectful to the many individuals around the globe who are not just surviving, but thriving, with an extra chromosome.

Cable news host Rachel Campos-Duffy, a mother of nine children, one with Down syndrome, tweeted, “Why do we financially support discredited, China-run #WHO. Down syndrome is NOT a birth defect. It’s a chromosomal variation. My baby w/ Downs is as human & valuable as any of my other kids.

Doctors Told Congresswoman to Have Abortion Because Her Baby Would Die. Abigail is Now 8 Years-Old

It was the worst moment of her life.

Just a few days earlier, U.S. Congresswoman Jaime Herrera Beutler, a Republican from Washington state, had announced that she and her husband were expecting their first child, a baby girl. Then that joy was crushed at her 22-week ultrasound appointment, according to CBN News.

“’There is no chance your baby will live,’” Beutler remembered doctors saying after they discovered that her unborn daughter’s kidneys were missing. “’No baby has ever survived this.’”

Beutler and her husband were devastated. But they refused to give up hope, and they began praying for a miracle.

Pro-Life Pregnancy Centers Helped 2 Million People, Provided 6 Million to Help Women. In Just One Year

Pro-Life Pregnancy Centers Helped 2 Million People, Provided $266 Million to Help Women. In Just One Year

Pro-life pregnancy centers (formerly known as crisis pregnancy centers and also as pregnancy care or resource centers) are faith-based, community-based, not-for-profit organizations which first began to appear in the U.S. in the late 1960s, as abortion was becoming legal, to provide care and resources to assist women with immediate and ongoing needs related to unexpected pregnancy. Their focus on alternatives to abortion, also known as life-affirming services, was and is designed to empower a woman to welcome her child into the world. Today, pregnancy centers provide an expanded range of essential and professional care encompassing support services, medical care, and resources, usually at no cost to the women, men, and youth they serve.

World Health Organization social media post lists Down syndrome as a birth defect to be ‘prevented’

World Health Organization social media post lists Down syndrome as a birth defect to be ‘prevented’

by Administrator

Individuals with Down syndrome and their families were shocked and disheartened by a recent social media post from The World Health Organization (WHO) last week that listed Down syndrome as a birth defect that can be prevented. However, there is no way to prevent Down syndrome itself. “Eliminating” Down syndrome really means eliminating those who have the condition through abortion.

“Today is World Birth Defects Day,” WHO originally wrote on March 3, according to the screenshot below. “Most birth defects can be prevented and treated with access to quality maternal and newborn care. Yet, every year, they cause the deaths of close to 250,000 babies within just 1 month of birth.”

While Democrats Push Abortions Up to Birth, Republicans are Fighting for Life

Last week marked the beginning of the 40 Days for Life annual spring campaign in communities across the country and around the world.

Guatemala Increases Prison Term for Killing a Baby in an Abortion to 10 Years

Guatemala Increases Prison Term for Killing a Baby in an Abortion to 10 Years

The Guatemalan Congress passed a law Tuesday to increase jail penalties for abortionists and women convicted of aborting unborn babies.

Reuters reports the Life and Family Protection Law passed by a strong majority, and President Alejandro Giammattei appears likely to sign it.

Abortions are illegal in Guatemala, except when the mother’s life is at risk. The country punishes women and abortionists with jail time for aborting unborn babies in violation of the law.

The new legislation increases the penalty for women who abort their unborn babies from three years to up to 10 years in prison. Additionally, it increases the penalty for anyone who aborts an unborn baby without the mother’s consent to up to 50 years in prison, the French news agency AFP reports.

Canada is Trying to Force Christian Medical Centers to Kill People in Assisted Suicides

Canada is Trying to Force Christian Medical Centers to Kill People in Assisted Suicides

The euthanasia lobby has started a campaign to force Canada’s denominational medical institutions to participate or provide (MAiD) euthanasia.

The Canadian Press reported that Dying With Dignity is campaigning to stop “forced transfers” a process that they define as transfers from medical facilities that forbid (MAiD) euthanasia.

The euthanasia lobby wants to stop the transfer of people who have requested euthanasia by forcing denominational medical institutions to do euthanasia.

The Canadian Press report stated:

Dying With Dignity says the service is being restricted because of an agreement that allows facilities covered by the Denominational Health Association to collect taxpayer dollars but refuse to perform services they oppose on religious or moral grounds.

Colorado House Committee Passes Bill for Totally Unlimited Abortions Up to Birth

Colorado House Committee Passes Bill for Totally Unlimited Abortions Up to Birth

Colorado House Democrats advanced a radical pro-abortion bill early Thursday morning that would deny all rights and protections to unborn babies.

After listening to 13 hours of testimony from hundreds of people, many in opposition to the bill, the state House Health and Insurance Committee voted 7-4 along party lines to send the bill to the full House for a vote, Colorado Politics reports.

State House Bill 1279 would make abortion a “fundamental right” under state law and explicitly deny rights and legal protections to any “fertilized egg, embryo or fetus.” A majority of Democrats in both chambers have co-sponsored the bill, so it appears likely to pass.

Meta, Twitter, Netflix on ‘Dirty Dozen’ list for enabling exploitation

Meta, Twitter, Netflix on ‘Dirty Dozen’ list for enabling exploitation

WASHINGTON (CNS) — Some familiar brand names were put on the newest “Dirty Dozen” list of companies by the National Center on Sexual Exploitation for enabling exploitation.

Those names include Google Search, Netflix, Twitter, Meta and Visa.

Netflix and Twitter are repeats from 2021, as are Reddit and OnlyFans. Others making the list, released March 8, are Etsy, Kik, Verisign and Kanakuk Kamps.

“We oppose all forms of sexual abuse and exploitation,” said Lina Nealon, director of corporate and strategic initiatives for the center, during a video call announcing the 2022 version of the Dirty Dozen.

“Last year, the majority of the list were tech companies,” Nealon said, as they “reap soaring revenue without making substantive changes” to deter exploitation.

Disgusting! Maryland Bill Would Legalize Infanticide, Babies Could be Left to Die Up to 28 Days After Birth

Disgusting! Maryland Bill Would Legalize Infanticide, Babies Could be Left to Die Up to 28 Days After Birth

A bill under consideration in the Maryland General Assembly appears to legalize infanticide.

The Pregnant Person’s Freedom Act of 2022, in addition to perpetuating the delusion that “persons” other than women can conceive and carry a child, includes the following ominous admonition:

“This section may not be construed to authorize any form of investigation or penalty for a person: … experiencing a miscarriage, perinatal death related to a failure to act, or stillbirth.”

“Perinatal death related to a failure to act,” is the most menacing line in this terrible bill. Perinatal is an imprecise word with many interpretations. The World Health Organization defines it as the period between 23 weeks’ gestation and seven days after birth.
