Poll Shows 69% of Americans Want Abortions Banned or Limited

A new Marist College poll finds 69% of Americans want abortions banned or limited.

The poll found almost half of Americans support abortion bans and almost 70% of Americans want to ban late-term abortions.

“Nearly 7 in 10 Americans believe abortion should be limited,” Dr. Barbara L. Carvalho, Director of the Marist Poll, said in a statement Wednesday. “After a year of contentious public debate over the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision, the results are comparable to the findings of a Knights of Columbus–Marist Poll conducted last January.”

The poll also found that support for abortion bans and limiting abortion has increased from June 2022 – when the Supreme Court overturned Roe v.

New Marist poll: 91% of Americans affirm pro-life pregnancy centers

New Marist poll: 91% of Americans affirm pro-life pregnancy centers

by Administrator

The January 2023 Knights of Columbus-Marist Poll has revealed that a whopping 91% of Americans support the existence of pregnancy resource centers, which offer resources to women during pregnancy and after their babies are born. These centers have been attacked by abortion advocates who seem to see them as a threat to abortion businesses.

In May 2022, the draft of the Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization was leaked and indicated that the court would overturn Roe v. Wade. This news led to a slew of physical and political attacks against pro-life organizations and churches that continued well after the official decision to end Roe was handed down on June 24.

Maine Gov. Janet Mills Wants to Legalize Abortions Up to Birth

Maine Gov. Janet Mills Wants to Legalize Abortions Up to Birth

Maine Gov. Janet Mills voiced her support Tuesday for legislation to allow viable, late-term unborn babies to be aborted in her state.

The Bangor Daily News reports Mills and state Democrat leaders revealed their plans to expand abortions during a press conference Tuesday, including the late-term abortion bill.

Currently, abortions are legal up to 24 weeks in Maine, but pro-abortion Democrats control the state legislature and they want to expand the life-destroying practice even more in the coming months.

One bill that has Mills’ support would allow unborn babies to be aborted through all nine months of pregnancy if a doctor says the abortion is medically necessary, according to the report.

Trial for sidewalk counselor raided by the FBI set to begin this month

by Administrator

The trial for Mark Houck, a pro-life sidewalk counselor whose home was raided by the FBI last year, will begin on January 24th in Philadelphia, according to a press release from the Thomas More Society.

Last September, FBI agents dressed in tactical gear reportedly raided Houck’s home early in the morning, in front of his wife and children. “He opened the door with hands up, and had AR-15s in his face,” family friend and spokesman Brian Middleton said at the time, which left his children “crying and screaming” and “traumatized.”

Houck maintained a regular presence outside a Planned Parenthood facility in Philadelphia as a sidewalk counselor, and in October of 2021, this led to an altercation with an abortion facility escort.

House Republicans Introduce Resolution Condemning Pro-Abortion Violence at Pregnancy Centers

House Republicans Introduce Resolution Condemning Pro-Abortion Violence at Pregnancy Centers

Months after the Democrat-controlled U.S. House refused to condemn the wave of violence directed at pro-life advocates, the new House Republican leaders introduced a resolution Tuesday to do just that.

U.S. Reps. Chris Smith, R-New Jersey, and Mike Johnson, R-Louisiana, led more than 100 co-sponsors in calling on House lawmakers to pass the resolution, which condemns the violence and urges the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate the violence in the wake of the Dobbs v. Jackson leak and ruling.

“Since there has been ZERO accountability for the leaked opinion and ensuing violence, we are making the position of Congress crystal clear: Violence, property damage and threats MUST be condemned, and these clear violations of federal and state laws MUST be prosecuted,” Johnson wrote on Twitter.

U.S. House to vote on Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act

by Administrator

The U.S. House of Representatives is scheduled to vote Wednesday on HR 26, the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which would secure medical protections for any infant who survives an attempted abortion.

Congresswoman Ann Wagner, the bill’s sponsor, said in a press release, “All children should have the right to receive lifesaving care, especially those who survive an abortion. The Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act will provide commonsense protections for innocent children and their mothers and will ensure all babies receive the essential care they need at an incredibly vulnerable moment. It pains me that this fight has to be fought at all, but medical care for babies should not be a partisan issue.”

Idaho Supreme Court Confirms There’s No Right to Abortion

Idaho Supreme Court Confirms There’s No Right to Abortion

In Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the Supreme Court held in June that the U.S. Constitution “does not confer a right to abortion” and, therefore, abortion advocates will be challenging pro-life laws in state courts under state constitutions.

On Thursday, the Idaho Supreme Court upheld that state’s ban on abortion, holding that “we cannot read a fundamental right to abortion into the text of the Idaho Constitution.” (On the same day, the South Carolina Supreme Court came to the opposite conclusion about that state’s constitution.)

Idaho first made abortion a crime in 1864, when it was still a territory, and enacted many laws protecting the unborn since then, including new abortions bans in 2020 and 2021.

Viral Story Claimed Woman Needed Abortion to Save Her Life, But the Claim Was False

The lies about pro-life laws putting women’s lives at risk are being exposed in a court case in Malta this month.

The small European country protects unborn babies by banning elective abortions, and has one of the lowest maternal mortality rates in the world, according to the Times of Malta.

Last year, however, Malta became the target of international news outrage after an American woman who was visiting the country accused its doctors of putting her life at risk by refusing to abort her unborn baby when she suffered pregnancy complications. The woman, Andrea Prudente, a United States citizen, traveled to Spain for an abortion and later sued Malta for allegedly jeopardizing her life.

When Jase-James McCready Rogers was born prematurely weighing only 1 pound, doctors told his parents that his chance of survival was only about 5 percent.

But the Lancashire, England boy did survive and overcame many obstacles in the months after his birth. This week, he celebrated his third birthday, The Blackpool Gazette reports.

“Jase still has his difficulties and we always knew that he would, like any child born so premature. But when you think what he has been through, he’s doing really well,” his mother, Leah Rogers, told the newspaper.

In early January 2020, Rogers said she began to experience symptoms of miscarrying and rushed to the hospital.

Tallahassee mother Hope Chinchak wants to create a better world for people with Down syndrome.

Almost four years ago, she and her husband created Our City Beautiful, an organization to raise awareness and support for people with Down syndrome – like their two sonsaccording to Fox 13 News.

“Down syndrome is the most commonly reoccurring genetic anomaly among people,” Chinchak told the news outlet. “It occurs roughly in one in every 700 births throughout the United States.”

A few months ago, the organization celebrated a victory when the state legislature approved one of their projects: specialty license plates that celebrate the value of people with Down syndrome.

Former Pussycat Dolls Singer Deeply Regrets Her Abortions: I Ask for Forgiveness From God

Former Pussycat Dolls lead singer Kaya Jones opened up about her abortions for the first time this week, sharing about the forgiveness that she found in God after suffering a “train of trauma.”

Jones, the lead singer of the Pussycat Dolls from 2003 to 2004, began speaking out against abortion several years ago. This week on Christine Yeargin’s “Speak Out” podcast, sponsored by Students for Life, she explained why: She had three herself and she deeply regrets them.

“You will regret it your whole life,” she said of her three abortions. “Even if I become a mother tomorrow, and I’m happily married and all is well, I’m still going to regret the three children I did not have.”

Democrats’ Omnibus Bill Gives Planned Parenthood 6 Million After It Killed 383,000 Babies

Democrats’ Omnibus Bill Gives Planned Parenthood $286 Million After It Killed 383,000 Babies

by Administrator

The massive full-year government funding bill that Democrats have proposed contains a huge gift of taxpayer funds for the nation’s largest abortion business.

The bill still must be passed by the House and Senate and signed by Joe Biden, but the expectation is that a measure will eventually get to his desk over Republican objections and that the Planned Parenthood funding will remain intact.

As pro-life Congressman Dan Bishop pointed out on Twitter, the bill contains over $296 million for the abortion giant.

That is a huge chunk of change for an abortion business that is already raking in the dough hand over fist.

Most Americans are worried these days about inflation, their life savings, crime, open borders and education. But for some, the issue of abortion looms large.

“Hysteria” is the only word that accurately describes what some champions of abortion are saying. Why the sky hasn’t fallen is a mystery. Here are some examples.

During a conference this fall, Vice President Kamala Harris opened her remarks at the Nate Holden Performing Arts Center in Los Angeles by noting “when I’m traveling around the country, one of the feelings that I hear most is fear. It’s fear.” She later said, “there’s a lot of fear.”

County Bans Christmas Decorations in Employee’s Homes

County Bans Christmas Decorations in Employee’s Homes

by Administrator

The most outrageous offender of this year’s Christmas and Hanukkah season and Becket’s 2022 Ebenezer Award winner is King County, Washington, for banning holiday decorations in employee video backgrounds. In a memo sent last month, the county’s Department of Human Resources told employees that they should not display nativity sets, menorahs and other religious holiday displays because they could be offensive to their colleagues.

The announcement, entitled “Guidelines for Holiday Decorations for King County Employees,” told county employees that religious symbols could not appear in their video backgrounds. While images of snowflakes, wreaths, and pine trees are still permissible, the grinch-like King County HR department has made it its mission to erase religious emblems from the online workplace this holiday season.

The multi-billion-dollar tech corporation Microsoft has been complaining about a workforce shortage while at the same time promoting the killing of unborn babies in abortions.

In a column at The Christian Post, financial economist Jerry Bowyer exposed the company’s contradictions after he participated in the annual shareholders meeting recently. Microsoft is one of dozens of companies that began offering abortion “benefits” (travel, lodging, meal expenses, etc.) in response to the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade.

“It’s good that Microsoft recognizes that we have a demographic crisis,” said Bowyer, the president of Bowyer Research. “It’s not so good that they’ll pay for the expenses of people who abort their children.

Every day, 2.4 million people tune in to watch Dr. Phil give mental health advice. Described as the top mental health show on TV, it is widely trusted by many Americans because Dr. Phil examines some of our society’s difficult issues.

Abortion is among the most difficult issues, which might be why the show addressed it twice this fall. To Dr. Phil’s credit, he generated a legitimate, straightforward debate; unfortunately, he also did a disservice to millions of suffering women when he dismissed their after-abortion grief.

“There is absolutely no evidence for any post-abortion syndrome,” Dr. Phil told Live Action’s Lila Rose.

Since 1973, Guttmacher has recorded 12.2 million more abortions than the CDC

Since 1973, Guttmacher has recorded 12.2 million more abortions than the CDC

by Administrator

Since 1973, the Guttmacher Institute has counted 12.2 million more abortions beyond the published totals reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), creating a significant abortion data disparity. The data reveals that between 1973 and 2020, over 60 million abortions have been reported by Planned Parenthood’s former “special affiliate” while nearly 47.8 million were reported by the CDC.

This discrepancy is due to a failure by Congress to mandate comprehensive federal reporting of abortion data from all abortion providers in every state. Currently, as things stand, each state decides whether or not to mandate the reporting of abortion numbers and even abortion-related injuries.

The world is flat. People are property. Tobacco is harmless.

Like many other long-held but misguided beliefs, over time these ideas were proven wrong. Consequently, people and societies function differently, in light of what we’ve come to know to be true.

Let’s consider another strongly held belief: preborn life is an insignificant clump of cells, mere tissue possessing no inherent dignity.

This belief was held by early advocates for abortion who regarded the origin of human life to be an unsolvable mystery. Denying the humanity and personhood of the fetus was foundational in the January 22, 1973, Roe v. Wade decision.

Live Action ridiculed pro-abortion corporations for claiming to be pro-woman while subtly pressuring them to abort their unborn babies in a new satire video this week.

In the wake of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, dozens of major companies like Disney, Amazon and Dick’s Sporting Goods began offering abortion “benefits” to prove how “woke” and pro-woman they are, Live Action president and founder Lila Rose said.

“Women in the workplace are being lied to by their employers, who are claiming female empowerment by offering to pay a mother to end the life of her child, which in fact is the most demeaning and degrading thing to happen to someone,” Rose said in a press release.

Nine siblings have set a world record as the largest number of babies to be born together and survive.

And after more than a year in the hospital, the Mali nonuplets finally were deemed well enough to go home this week, the TODAY show reports.

The 19-month-old siblings and their parents, Halima Cissé and Abdelkader Arby, are from the western African country of Mali, but they spent nearly two years in Casablanca, Morocco at a hospital that specializes in high-risk pregnancies and premature babies, according to the report.

When their parents traveled to Morocco before the babies’ birth, they said both they and their doctors had thought they were pregnant with seven babies.
