The DutchNews.nl reported today that Dutch Health Minister Ernst Kuipers announced the intention to extend euthanasia to children, but without changing the law. Kuipers intends to extend the Groningen Protocol, which currently applies to babies, to include children under the age of 12.

An article by Peter McLaren Kennedy for EuroWeekly stated:

The proposed protocol contains seven criteria for euthanasia for those between one and 12. Doctors will have to be convinced the child’s suffering is unbearable and there is no possibility of a cure or a treatment to alleviate the pain.

Nashville City Council May Cut Jobs to Pay for New Abortion Fund Killing Babies

Nashville City Council May Cut Jobs to Pay for New Abortion Fund Killing Babies

The Nashville Metro City Council may cut jobs to create a new fund to help Planned Parenthood abort more unborn babies.

On Thursday, Tennessee began enforcing a new law that protects unborn babies by banning abortions. The pro-life law is expected to save thousands of unborn babies’ lives every year.

However, at least six Nashville city council members oppose the law, and, in response, they announced a new plan to spend $500,000 to fund abortion travel and sex education through a grant to Planned Parenthood, The Tennessean reports.

City leaders told several local news outlets that there is not enough money in the budget for the plan, and they may have to cut staffing positions and delay other projects to fund it.

Survey Shows 80% of Women Who Were Raped and Had Abortions Regretted Their Decision

Survey Shows 80% of Women Who Were Raped and Had Abortions Regretted Their Decision

Misplaced compassion often compels people to support abortion in cases of rape.

But aborting an unborn baby does nothing to heal the mother from the horrific abuse that she suffered. Often the opposite, according to research.

“Ending the life of a preborn human being, regardless of how she was conceived, does not address the crime of her father and does not improve the primary victim’s mental health outcomes,” said Dr. Christina Francis, an Indiana OB-GYN and CEO-elect of the American Association of Pro-life Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

In an interview with The Federalist, Francis expressed compassion for victims of sexual abuse while pointing out that abortion is not a proven physical or psychological treatment for their trauma.

Joe Biden Wants to Illegally Turn VA Hospitals Into Abortion Centers

Joe Biden Wants to Illegally Turn VA Hospitals Into Abortion Centers

Senator James Lankford (R-OK) on Friday sent a letter to Secretary of Veterans Affairs (VA) Denis McDonough to share his concerns with a not -yet-public Interim Final Rule (IFR) recently submitted by the VA to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) pertaining to “reproductive health services” at the VA, that may attempt to usurp federal law and provide abortions at VA medical facilities.

In his letter, Lankford raises his concerns about the rule because of the Biden Administration’s ongoing obsession with abortion and Secretary McDonough’s recent concerning statements about how the VA wants to offer a “full slate” of women’s health services after the decision in Dobbs.

(Right to Life UK) A two-year-old from Norfolk given a 10 percent chance of survival, is now celebrating her second birthday at home.

Isla Tobias was born 16 weeks early at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital in September 2020. She weighed only 558 grams at birth, “less than a homemade sponge cake”. Her parents, Jasmine and Troy Tobias, were advised to “take each day as it comes”.

When little Isla was just three weeks old, she had to undergo a major operation due to a gut and bowel perforation. Her parents were told that she had about a 10 percent chance of survival.

Late-Term Abortion Biz Will Close Down, Making Dayton, Ohio Abortion-Free

Late-Term Abortion Biz Will Close Down, Making Dayton, Ohio Abortion-Free

A notorious late-term abortion clinic in Dayton, Ohio will finally close down on September 15, making the city abortion-free.

The Women’s Med Dayton was frequently in the news for injuring women in botched abortions, losing its medical license or for killing babies in very late abortions. But the abortion center has announced that it will permanently close down next month.

Following the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, the Ohio Supreme Court issued a ruling in July rejecting a request from abortion businesses to block the state’s heartbeat law that bans abortions when an unborn child’s heartbeat can be detected.

Nancy Pelosi Says Its “Sinful” to Protect Babies From Abortions

Nancy Pelosi Says Its “Sinful” to Protect Babies From Abortions

U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called restricting abortion “sinful” on Women’s Equality Day, in contradiction to her Catholic faith.

“The fact that this is such an assault on women of color and women — lower income families is just sinful. It’s sinful,” the Democrat from California said during a “reproductive health” panel on Aug. 26. “It’s wrong that they would be able to say to women what they think women should be doing with their lives and their bodies. But it’s sinful, the injustice of it all.”

Pelosi made her comments while visiting the University of California San Francisco Mission Bay campus for a “reproductive health roundtable discussion.”

Gender Spectrum is one organization that has systemized gender support plans by providing training and templates to educators, schools, and groups that work with youth across the country.

A recent UCLA report published in June found that 18% of the transgender population in the U.S. is comprised of children ages 13 to 17 — roughly 300,000 total. That’s up from 10% in 2017.

7,000 Pro-Life Doctors Launch Campaign to Refute Pro-Abortion Lies

7,000 Pro-Life Doctors Launch Campaign to Refute Pro-Abortion Lies

Thousands of OB-GYNs across the country are urging the news media and abortion activists to “correct the record” on pro-life abortion bans for the sake of mothers and babies.

Since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June, abortion activists have flooded news outlets and social media with lies and half-truths about state abortion bans restricting women’s health care.

But pro-life laws ban killing, not medical care, and the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists (AAPLOG), which represents 7,000 OB-GYNs, is working hard to spread that message.

The Washington Examiner reports the doctors’ association just began a new campaign to “correct the record” on abortion and state pro-life laws.

(C-Fam — New York) The Biden administration has nominated controversial Columbia Law School Professor Sarah Cleveland to the International Court of Justice despite being rejected for a top job by the U.S. Senate only months ago.

In her new job at the International Court of Justice Cleveland would be able to declare abortion as an international human right. And it is over her abortion extremism and her misunderstanding of international law that the Senate rejected her as the top legal advisor to the U.S. State Department.

In her previous role as a member of the UN Human Rights Committee from 2015 to 2018 Cleveland directly pressured countries to repeal protections for the unborn in their national laws.

Harrison was declared brain dead as a baby

You should be concerned that several countries are considering changes to brain death protocols to make it easier to declare someone brain dead.

An article about Harrison Ellmer was published in the Daily Mail in October 2015. Harrison was declared brain dead when he was three weeks old. He is three years old in this picture.

An article by Sadiya Chowdhury published last week by Sky News stated that a senior doctor was “shocked” when a baby started breathing on his own two weeks after being declared brain stem dead after two tests.

Indiana Planned Parenthood Sues to Overturn Abortion Ban So It Can Kill Babies

Indiana Planned Parenthood Sues to Overturn Abortion Ban So It Can Kill Babies

Following the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade the Indiana legislature became the first in the nation to pass an abortion ban after the Supreme Court overturned Roe. The measure went to Republican Gov. Eric Holcomb, who signed the bill into law almost immediately.

The Planned Parenthood abortion business is not happy and filed a lawsuit today challenging the ban in court.

The lawsuit filed in a Monroe County court claims the ban, set to take effect on Sept. 15, “strips away the fundamental rights of people seeking abortion care” in violation of the Indiana Constitution. It argues the law “will infringe on Hoosiers’ right to privacy, violate Indiana’s guarantee of equal privileges and immunities, and includes unconstitutionally vague language.”

Hearing “Children are a blessing” is not as common as it used to be in society.

But Iris Purnell says it proudly as the mother of 12 children ranging in age from 3 to 17.

Fox News recently interviewed the Los Angeles mother after the family’s dance videos on TikTok began going viral. Her husband, Cordell “Storm” Purnell, is a professional dancer.

Iris Purnell said raising a big family and being a stay-at-home mother were not her dreams growing up. But God had other plans for her life, and now she feels incredibly blessed.

“I feel like children are a blessing,” she told Fox News.

Beautiful Pro-Life Sculpture Celebrates Women and Unborn Children

A stunning monument to life was installed in Rome this past May and is also making its way around the United States.

The Life Monument is the first pro-life sculpture in the Eternal City, according to the work’s creator, Canadian sculptor Timothy Schmalz.

“Now, more than ever, with the debate underway in the United States, this sculpture, which is in Rome and also in the USA, is even more meaningful,” Schmalz said, referencing the U.S. Supreme Court Dobbs decision that ultimately overturned Roe v. Wade.

“It is a celebration and also a persuasion,” Schmalz said. “I wanted to use art to persuade people and remind everyone that life is beautiful.”

An inflatable incubator designed by an inventor in the United Kingdom is being used to help premature infants in war-torn Ukraine.

According to the Daily Mail, inventor James Roberts created the so-called “mOm” incubators after learning about the difficulties of caring for premature infants in war zones. While traditional incubators can weigh as much as 220 pounds (100kg), portable mOm devices weigh less than 50 pounds.

“Hospitals are being bombed – when air-raid sirens sound they cannot move the conventional systems. Our Mom device can be unplugged and transported to bunkers or shelters incredibly quickly, meaning that both nurses and the babies are protected and survive,” he explained.

CNN Says Pro-Life Republicans are Extremists, But Democrats Support Abortions Up to Birth

CNN on Tuesday spent over seven minutes hyping Republicans trying to hide their allegedly extreme position when it comes to abortion. Reporter Kyung Lah spotlighted GOP senatorial candidates changing their website now that they have the nomination. But nowhere in the segment was there anything on the extreme stance of Democrats when it comes to abortion.

Host Brianna Keilar parroted the Democratic talking points about radical Republicans: “The Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade has energized voters and made abortion rights a flashpoint in the midterm elections. It’s given Democrats a boost. Now, some Republican candidates who were strongly opposed to abortion are suddenly softening their stance.”

The UK doctor who stood up for women desiring a second chance at life for their unborn children after starting a chemical abortion brought the story of life-affirming Abortion Pill Reversal to Ireland’s biggest pro-life event.

Dr. Dermot Kearney prevailed earlier this year against UK abortion apologists out to cancel his ability to practice medicine if he would not stop prescribing APR.

Kearney addressed the All-Ireland Rally for Life in Dublin earlier this summer, sharing the specifics of the reversal protocol, revisiting his ordeal with abortion supporters siccing England’s General Medical Council on him, and detailing lies the abortion lobby spreads about APR.

The idea that pregnancy is ‘slavery’ and ‘servitude’ is not based in reality

The idea that pregnancy is ‘slavery’ and ‘servitude’ is not based in reality

by Administrator

The 13th Amendment states that “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude …. shall exist within the United States….” This language has led desperate abortion advocates to their latest justification of legalized abortion: that pregnancy is a form of involuntary servitude. This notion — that women could be involuntary servants to pregnancy — is not based on legal reality or sound thought.

Involuntary servitude to a preborn child?

The idea — as discussed by Reproductive Health Matters — that a woman could be a slave or an involuntary servant to her embryo or fetus is illogical. A child, especially one as vulnerable as a fetus or embryo in the womb, has no power or authority over an adult in any way.

EDINBURGH, Ind. (CNS) — Melissa Coles received a call in the late summer of 2019. She didn’t listen long before she figured it was a prank call and hung up. When the person called back, she hung up again.

“On the third call, they had all the producers on the line — Kirk Cameron and the Kendrick brothers,” she said, referring to Alex, Shannon and Stephen Kendrick, producers of Christian films such as “Fireproof,” “War Room” and “Courageous.” “They said they wanted to make (the documentary) ‘I Lived on Parker Avenue’ into a movie.”

Coles knew the 2018 YouTube documentary well — she was one of its subjects.
