Federal Court Stops Planned Parenthood Lawsuit Against Women Finding Abortion Alternatives

Federal Court Stops Planned Parenthood Lawsuit Against Women Finding Abortion Alternatives

The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals has just thrown out Planned Parenthood’s lawsuit against a pro-life South Dakota law in the wake of the Supreme Court’s ruling in Dobbs, vacating a preliminary injunction that had prevented the law from going into effect.

We and several other ACLJ attorneys have been representing Governor Kristi Noem and the state of South Dakota in this case, filing the State Appellant’s Brief.

As we’ve previously explained:

Like so many abortion cases, this one started with Planned Parenthood challenging a state statute regulating abortion. While the case has been in court since May 2011, the litigation now focuses on one particular requirement: that women considering abortion first visit a pregnancy health center (PHC) before consenting to abortion.

FBI Reportedly Purges Conservatives as Biden Admin Targets Pro-Life Advocates

FBI Reportedly Purges Conservatives as Biden Admin Targets Pro-Life Advocates

The FBI’s targeting of pro-life advocates made headlines last week.

As LifeNews has reported, Joe Biden’s Justice Department clearly targeted a pro-life man and his family with a shocking home raid as an act of persecution. Mark Houck became a victim of such targeting after more than 20 heavily-armed federal agents stormed his home at dawn on September 23 — frightening his family, pointing guns at his head, and then arresting him in front of his wife and seven young children.

Biden’s FBI has raided the home of the well-known pro-life advocate and arrested him on a bogus charge that had already been thrown out of court.

Leftist Who Killed Republican Teen Cayler Ellingson Now Charged With Felony Murder

Leftist Who Killed Republican Teen Cayler Ellingson Now Charged With Felony Murder

The liberal man who admitting killing Republican teenager Cayler Ellingson with with vehicle has finally been charged with felony murder.

As LifeNews reported, 41-year-old Shannon Brandt ran over Cayler Ellingson with his car following a political dispute in their small North Dakota town. Brandt admitted that he killed Ellingson because of his conservative views.

The killing has prompted national outrage as conservative Americans blamed Joe Biden for his recent fiery speech, where he called conservative Americans “MAGA extremists.”

It also sparked a backlash as the Democrat county attorney in charge of the case merely charged Brandt with vehicular homicide and he was already out on bail after an arrest and appearance in court.

Ohio Supreme Court Dismisses Request to Block Heartbeat Law Saving Babies From Abortion

Ohio Supreme Court Dismisses Request to Block Heartbeat Law Saving Babies From Abortion

This morning the Ohio Supreme Court acceded to a request by pro-abortion forces to dismiss the challenge to Ohio’s Heartbeat law brought in June “paving the way for a Hamilton County judge to rule on a request to temporarily block the law while it is sorted out in court,” Laura Hancock reported.

Preterm Cleveland, among others, asked the state’s highest court to dismiss the case, arguing that the Ohio Supreme Court case was taking too long to get a decision.

“The Supreme Court’s dismissal means that the judge over the Hamilton County case can proceed with the matter in his courtroom,” Hancock reported.

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.

 Million Ad Campaign Slams Democrats for Failing to Protect Supreme Court Justices

$10 Million Ad Campaign Slams Democrats for Failing to Protect Supreme Court Justices

The Judicial Crisis Network (JCN) launched a $10 million advertising campaign Thursday highlighting what the group views as Democrats’ failure to protect Supreme Court justices amid unlawful protests, threats and an assassination attempt, according to a release shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The first ad attacks Attorney General Merrick Garland for refusing to enforce a federal law banning the picketing of judges’ residences in order to influence them, highlighting the attempted assassination of Justice Brett Kavanaugh. The majority of Americans view the protests outside justices homes as a threat to democracy and think Garland should enforce the law prohibiting them, JCN polling found.

Indiana parental consent law goes into effect after five years of court delays

Indiana parental consent law goes into effect after five years of court delays

On Monday, July 18, the Supreme Court issued an order allowing Indiana to enforce its parental consent law, which requires minors to have either parental/guardian consent or a judicial bypass prior to obtaining an abortion. The law was passed in 2017 but had been blocked by lower courts, which found it unconstitutional under then-current legal precedents. But since the Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, Indiana asked the lower courts to lift the stay.

The case was before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, which said it could not act until it received formal notice of the Supreme Court’s ruling, called a judgment, which normally would have been issued on July 25.

Supreme Court overturns Roe in anticipated Dobbs decision

Supreme Court overturns Roe in anticipated Dobbs decision

WASHINGTON (CNS) — In a 6-3 decision June 24, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned its nearly 50-year-old decision in Roe v. Wade that legalized abortion in this country.

The court’s 213-page ruling in Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization was not totally unexpected due to the leak of an opinion draft a month earlier. The ruling emphasizes that there is no constitutional right to abortion in the United States.

The Dobbs case focused on an abortion clinic in Mississippi opposed to the state’s law banning abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy.

The court’s reversal of its longstanding abortion ruling brings abortion policy decisions to the state level.

Conservative Leader Blasts Joe Biden for Allowing Protests at Supreme Court Justices’ Homes

Conservative Leader Blasts Joe Biden for Allowing Protests at Supreme Court Justices’ Homes

The president of a public-interest law firm claimed Monday morning that the Biden administration encouraged “illegal” protests against Supreme Court justices.

“You’ve had the Biden White House encourage and condone illegal activity outside of’ the homes of justices,” Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, said on “Fox and Friends First.” “It makes the justices unsafe, obviously. They’ve got children.”

“You have the left talking about riots if unborn human beings might have more right to life protections,” Fitton said. “In the attack on pregnancy centers, let’s be clear what the centers do, they help women who are pregnant.”

Abortion activists plan to shut down the Supreme Court over ‘Roe’ decision

Abortion activists plan to shut down the Supreme Court over ‘Roe’ decision

Within the next month, the U.S. Supreme Court is expected to issue its ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which not only will determine if Mississippi’s 15-week abortion restriction can stand, but whether Roe v. Wade will be kept in place. A leaked draft opinion showed that Roe was going to be overturned, and this quickly resulted in near-riotous behavior from abortion activists. The latest example is a group planning on blockading the Supreme Court in June.

A group called #ShutDownDC has organized a #ShutDownSCOTUS event to take place on June 13, one of the days the Supreme Court is expected to release decisions this month.

Biologist Confirms Unborn Babies are Human Beings, Have Heartbeat 22 Days After Conception

Biologist Confirms Unborn Babies are Human Beings, Have Heartbeat 22 Days After Conception

The amazing, complex development of an unborn baby at the earliest stages of pregnancy often gets buried in the abortion debate.

But it is amazing, and scientists know so much more about unborn babies than they did in 1973 when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Roe v. Wade.

A recent CBN News article highlighted some of these findings as the high court appears likely to overturn Roe this summer and allow states to protect unborn babies again.

“Some in the pro-choice crowd say a person’s life doesn’t actually begin until he or she is outside the womb, but the science shows an unborn baby at 15 weeks gestation is a living, breathing human being with unique DNA who can already feel pain,” author Andrea Morris wrote.
