Abortion Bans Will Save Millions of Hispanic Babies

Abortion Bans Will Save Millions of Hispanic Babies

Unborn babies are “disproportionately harmed” by pro-abortion laws, to borrow a phrase from the left.

Yet, mainstream news outlets rarely mention these babies at all, and almost never in stories about abortion. Instead, news outlets consistently parade talking points from the pro-abortion movement about how pro-life laws “disproportionately harm” certain groups of women.

A USA Today article this week used the phrase to highlight a new report about Latino women in the 26 states that ban or soon likely will ban abortions.

The research, which comes from the pro-abortion National Partnership for Women & Families and the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Justice, found that more than 6.5 million Latino women of childbearing age live in these states.

Premature Baby Born at 27 Weeks is Now a Thriving 2-Year-Old

Premature Baby Born at 27 Weeks is Now a Thriving 2-Year-Old

An extremely premature baby born in Tasmania at just 27 weeks and weighing 540g had to battle a string of medical issues and three bouts of sepsis but is now a thriving two year old.

When Hadrian was born in Hobart, in Tasmania, Australia, the odds were stacked against him from the beginning. His mum, Nikola, had to have an emergency caesarean section over three months before her due date.

“I had a spinal anaesthetic so I was awake for the procedure”, she said. “He was so tiny; I briefly saw him then they whizzed him away. I was so worried about the outcome as he was born so early, all I could do was hope that he would be OK”.

Georgia Abortions Drop 57% as Abortion Ban Saves 2,500 Unborn Babies

Georgia Abortions Drop 57% as Abortion Ban Saves 2,500 Unborn Babies

Brand-new data has revealed that, from April to August of this year, abortions plummeted 57% in Georgia. That’s 2,500 babies who will see their first birthday because of the Dobbs decision and GLA’s Heartbeat Bill going into effect.

That’s 2,500 babies who Stacey Abrams, Jen Jordan, Raphael Warnock, and pro-abortion candidates would prefer be brutally aborted.

2,500 babies who would be murdered without Georgia’s Heartbeat Bill.

2,500 babies who are safe so long as pro-life candidates like Brian Kemp, Herschel Walker, and Chris Carr win today.

On Election Day, we have to understand what is truly at stake when we cast our votes.

Texas Heartbeat Law Saved 5,000-10,000 Babies From Abortions in First 6 Months

Texas Heartbeat Law Saved 5,000-10,000 Babies From Abortions in First 6 Months

On September 1, 2021, the Texas Heartbeat Act took effect.[i] This legislation protects preborn children in Texas after a heartbeat is able to be detected, which science has proven can happen as early as the sixth week of gestation.[ii]  This marked the first instance since the Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that a law protecting preborn children well before viability was implemented.

The impact of this law has been disputed.[iii] However, an analysis of newly published Texas birth data shows that between March 2022 and July 2022, the number of births in Texas increased by more than 5,000 as compared to identical time periods from previous years.

15-Year-Old Bravely Rejected Abortion After Rape, She Has No Regrets Years Later

15-Year-Old Bravely Rejected Abortion After Rape, She Has No Regrets Years Later

Ayala was still in elementary school when a relative living with her family began sexually abusing her.

She was raped for the first time at age 11 and became pregnant at age 15. But despite the abuse, the fear and panic, and an unsupportive family, Ayala realized that she could not abort her unborn baby.

“Our children are not responsible for the crimes of their fathers and are completely innocent, unique human beings from the moment of conception,” she told The Federalist in a new interview. “They’re deserving of the right to life just like anyone else.”

The now 19-year-old is a pro-life advocate with Students for Life and the Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising (PAAU).

Woman Who Survived Abortion Confirms: “Abortion is Not Health Care”

Woman Who Survived Abortion Confirms: “Abortion is Not Health Care”

As Americans prepare to vote for politicians and ballot measures that will affect the future of millions of unborn babies, two women who survived abortions want to remind voters that their lives matter, too.

Speaking with The Epoch Times, Jennifer Milbourn and Robin Sertell said their lives were just as valuable in the womb, and certainly no less so because of their biological mothers’ “choice.”

“I really desperately want to see a world where nobody ever has to go through what I went through again,” Sertell said, noting how the abortion caused permanent physical and mental trauma.

Milbourn, who was adopted, told the news outlet that she still struggles with trauma and feelings of rejection because of her biological mother’s decision.

Poll: Public favors pro-life lawmakers over lawmakers who favor unrestricted abortion

Poll: Public favors pro-life lawmakers over lawmakers who favor unrestricted abortion

by Administrator

(NRLC.org) A new poll for National Right to Life conducted by The McLaughlin Group finds that a pro-life candidate who would allow abortion in cases of rape, incest, and to save the mother’s life would beat a candidate favoring unlimited abortion for any reason.

In the poll of 1,000 voters taken September 16-22, 2022, respondents were asked to choose between a pro-life candidate who would allow abortion in cases of the life of the mother, rape, or incest and who opposed taxpayer funding of abortion, and a candidate who would allow unlimited abortion for any reason paid for with tax dollars – an extreme position advocated by the Democratic party platform.

A unique human life begins to exist at fertilization, despite claims to the contrary

by Administrator

Live Action founder and president Lila Rose appeared on two episodes of The Dr. Phil Show this fall — and in episode one, Dr. Phil went head to head with Rose, insisting she was wrong about when life begins. Dr. Phil claimed that there is no scientific consensus on when a new human life begins, but the evidence — dating back to the 1800s — says otherwise.

Dr. Phil told Rose, “The scientific community does not have a consensus about when human life begins” and that the “body of scientific literature” points to different moments in development at which different scientists believe life officially begins.

Tudor Dixon: Parents Have The Right to Know if Their Daughter Wants an Abortion

Tudor Dixon: Parents Have The Right to Know if Their Daughter Wants an Abortion

Michigan gubernatorial candidate Tudor Dixon defended parents’ right to be involved when their underage daughter wants an abortion this week as pro-abortion groups push to strip away that right.

Polls show a close race between Dixon, a pro-life Republican, and Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, a pro-abortion Democrat who recently vetoed funding to help pregnant and parenting mothers.

Speaking with FOX 2 Detroit, Dixon accused Whitmer of hiding her radical pro-abortion stance and running deceptive ads about abortion to “scare” people into voting for her.

Dixon said the current governor will not talk about how Proposal 3, a proposed state constitutional amendment, would get rid of parental involvement laws and common-sense safety regulations for abortion practitioners.

Abortion Activists Using Creepy Unmarked Van to Distribute Dangerous Abortion Pills

Abortion Activists Using Creepy Unmarked Van to Distribute Dangerous Abortion Pills

A new abortion start-up is driving an unmarked van around Colorado distributing dangerous abortion pills to women in parking lots.

Although it may sound creepy and disturbing to most people, Just The Pill’s work is being highlighted in national news outlets such as NPR and Ms. Magazine.

According to NPR for Northern Colorado, the new abortion group is driving a “non-descript mobile clinic,” or “van,” along the Colorado border, handing out abortion pills for $350.

“It doesn’t have any signage on it,” Dr. Julie Amaon, medical director for the group, told NPR. “We’re not trying to tell people what we’re doing to keep patients safe because we know that even in more protected states like Colorado, there are still lots of people that don’t agree with what we’re doing.”

FDA Slams Feminists for Giving Women Abortion Pills Who Aren’t Pregnant, Putting Their Lives at Risk

FDA Slams Feminists for Giving Women Abortion Pills Who Aren’t Pregnant, Putting Their Lives at Risk

The FDA just told pro-abortion groups that they are putting women’s lives in danger by providing abortion drugs before they are pregnant.

Politico reports the federal agency spoke out against the new “advanced provision” abortion pill practice last week after Choix, Aid Access and other pro-abortion groups began advertising pills to keep at home in case a woman gets pregnant.

Although the FDA did not mention any enforcement actions, the agency did warn that the abortion drug mifepristone is not approved for advance provision and the groups that are selling it in advance are putting women’s lives at risk, according to the report.

Mike Pence: “Democrats Support Abortion Up to the Moment of Birth.” So Vote Pro-Life

Mike Pence: “Democrats Support Abortion Up to the Moment of Birth.” So Vote Pro-Life

Former Vice President Mike Pence slammed the Democratic Party for its radical pro-abortion position Saturday, saying its leaders want to force taxpayers to pay for aborting unborn babies up to birth.

Speaking with Breitbart News, Pence, a pro-life Republican, said he believes Americans will reject Democrats at the ballot box in November, in part, because their abortion agenda is so extreme.

“It’s not just that the Democrats support abortion up to the moment of birth. They support taxpayer funding of abortion up to the moment of birth,” he said.

In recent weeks, Republican candidates have been gaining ground in the polls leading up to the midterm elections, and experts predict they will regain control of the U.S.

New Study Shows Women Who End First Pregnancy in Abortion Have 53% More Miscarriages

New Study Shows Women Who End First Pregnancy in Abortion Have 53% More Miscarriages

Researchers analyzing 17 years of comprehensive Medicaid claims data have discovered that women whose first pregnancy ends in abortion are likely to have more pregnancies, more abortions, and more miscarriages than women whose first pregnancy ends in a live birth.

In a recent CBS News interview, former Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards promoted abortion as a benefit to women in pursuing goals, such as “when they want to have their children, does it help them finish education, (or) pursue a career.”  Congressman Donald Norcross (D-NJ) wrote earlier this year that women who had abortions “often went on to have a child by choice when they were more financially secure, therefore improving outcomes for the mother and the child.”

Canadian Bill Would Allow Doctors to Euthanize Patients Without Their Consent

Canadian Bill Would Allow Doctors to Euthanize Patients Without Their Consent

Senator Pamela Wallin, who strongly supports euthanasia, known as Medical Aid in Dying (MAiD) in Canada, introduced Bill S-248: An Act to amend the Criminal Code (medical assistance in dying), to permit involuntary euthanasia (MAiD) by advanced directive when a person is not capable of consenting to be killed.

The purpose of S-248 is to amend the Criminal Code to

(a) permit an individual whose death is not reasonably foreseeable to enter into a written arrangement to receive medical assistance in dying on a specified day if they lose the capacity to consent to receiving medical assistance in dying prior to that day; and

(b) permit an individual who has been diagnosed with a serious and incurable illness, disease or disability to make a written declaration to waive the requirement for final consent when receiving medical assistance in dying if they lose the capacity to consent to receive medical assistance in dying, are suffering from symptoms outlined in the written declaration and have met all other relevant safeguards outlined in the Criminal Code.
