World’s Only Nonuplets Head Home After Celebrating Their First Birthday

by Administrator

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.

Her birth mother chose life, and now she works to help other women do the same

by Administrator

When Diane Ferraro — the first female CEO of pro-life organization Save the Storks — was just five years old, she recalls her adoptive parents telling her she was specially “chosen” to be their daughter.

Ferraro told Live Action News, “Seeing myself through their eyes of love made me proud to be adopted. In the ’60s and ’70s, families kept quiet about adoptions, but my parents were very open about it. I had a wonderful childhood, for which I’m grateful.”

Growing up in a loving environment influenced Ferraro’s pro-life stance and helped to set the course of her pro-life activism years later.

Pro-Life Landlords Sue to Kick Abortion Biz Out of Its Building That Lied to Get Lease

Pro-Life Landlords Sue to Kick Abortion Biz Out of Its Building That Lied to Get Lease

by Administrator

Two Virginia landlords just filed a lawsuit against a new abortion business on their property, saying they were deceived into thinking it was a family medical practice.

Cardinal News reports landlords Chase King and Chadwick King said they “morally oppose” abortions and never would have signed the five-year lease with Bristol Women’s Health if they had known its primary work is aborting unborn babies.

Last week, the Kings filed a lawsuit against the abortion facility, owner Diane Derzis and abortionist Wesley Adams in Bristol Circuit Court, asking a judge to dissolve the lease, according to the report.

They accused the abortion workers of “willfully” hiding the true nature of their business, and said they have “suffered great financial loss and lost business opportunity; been forced to suffer in its reputation and endure humiliation within their business and social circles; [and] been required to endure great mental anguish,” according to the lawsuit.

Father Frank Pavone: “I Will Not be Canceled.” I Will Not Stop Fighting Abortion

by Administrator

Father Frank Pavone says he will not be canceled and will keep fighting to protect babhies from aboritons. This come after millions of pro-life advocates were outraged over the weekend to learn of the Vatican’s decision to dismiss Father Frank Pavone.

In a new statement, Pavone says he still hasn’t officially been informed by the Vatican of his dismissal despite a November letter circulating online confirming it.

Pavone told LifeNews he rejected the idea that there is “no possibility of appeal.”

“Of course there is. I am appealing to the People of God, who are becoming wiser to all that is going on and who will be the judges of whether the work my 50-person team at Priests for Life and I do is worthy of support or not.

Tennessee lawmaker claims abortion is needed to treat ectopic pregnancy — but is it?

by Administrator

Tennessee lawmakers are mobilizing to add exceptions to the state’s trigger law, which protects preborn children from abortion. One senator mentioned the need for abortion exceptions due to medical necessity, specifically in reference to ectopic pregnancy — but an induced abortion and a treatment for ectopic pregnancy are not the same. Induced abortion involves the intentional killing of a child, and is not medically necessary to protect the life of the mother.

State Senator Richard Briggs told WTVF he would support exceptions to save a woman’s life. “It puts me in a difficult position,” Briggs said. “About 1 in 50 to 1 in 100 pregnancies will be tubal pregnancies that can rupture, and that’s one of the leading causes of death in pregnant women: is a ruptured ectopic pregnancy.

Christian doctors sue New Mexico over forced participation in assisted suicide

by Administrator
(Alliance Defending Freedom) Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys representing a Christian doctor and the Christian Medical & Dental Associations sued the state of New Mexico Wednesday for enacting a law that requires doctors to facilitate physician assisted suicide in ways that violate their religious convictions and professional ethics.

The federal lawsuit explains that, despite historic condemnations of assisted suicide, New Mexico enacted the Elizabeth Whitefield End-of-Life Options Act in 2021. The law requires physicians who are conscientious objectors to facilitate suicide by informing patients about assisted suicide and referring patients to physicians and organizations who will participate in ending their lives. If physicians decline to participate based on their religious beliefs or professional ethics, they can face substantial criminal, civil, administrative, and professional liability, including risking losing their medical licenses.

A leading Catholic bishop who is well known for defending life has condemned the Vatican’s decision to dismiss Father Frank Pavone.

Flawed study claims pro-life state laws lead to higher rates of maternal death

Flawed study claims pro-life state laws lead to higher rates of maternal death

by Administrator

A study just published by the Commonwealth Fund, which claims that states that have banned or restricted abortion have higher rates of maternal and infant deaths than states that protect abortion, is flawed. According to Dr. Michael New, Research Associate of Political Science and Social Research at The Catholic University of America and an Associate Scholar at the Charlotte Lozier Institute, the study actually “fails to provide any meaningful evidence that protective pro-life laws lead to worse public health outcomes.” (emphasis added)

“The U.S. Maternal Health Divide: The Limited Maternal Health Services and Worse Outcomes of States Proposing New Abortion Restrictions” correlated groups of data without proving actual causation, yet was cited by multiple media outlets.

Nurse sues to halt abortions at VA hospitals after supervisor orders her to participate

by Administrator

In September, the Biden administration mandated that abortions be committed at Veterans Affairs (VA) hospitals — approving abortions for pregnant veterans and their dependents in hospitals on federal property, even in pro-life states where preborn children are protected. But a new lawsuit is seeking to have that rule overturned.

Stephanie Carter is an Army veteran, and a nurse practitioner at the Olin E. Teague Veterans’ Center in Temple, Texas. On Tuesday, news broke that she is suing the Department of Veterans Affairs over the abortion mandate, arguing that it violates her beliefs. The current rule does not allow for religious exemptions, according to Carter, who said her supervisor refused her request to opt out of handling and distributing abortion pills.

The spate of vandalism targeting pro-life pregnancy centers continued over the weekend in Michigan.

Early Saturday morning, someone vandalized Pregnancy Aid Detroit in Eastpointe and a local pro-life leader’s home in Grosse Pointe Woods, the Detroit Free Press reports.

Approximately 50 pro-life pregnancy resource centers have been set on fire, vandalized and threatened since May, and at least as many more pro-life organizations and churches have been targets of pro-abortion violence in response to the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade.

Over the weekend, the name “Jane’s Revenge,” a violent pro-abortion group, was spray-painted on an exterior wall of Pregnancy Aid Detroit along with the words “liars” and “fake clinic,” according to the report.

BRIGHT, Ind. (CNS) — As dusk turned into darkness Nov. 25, the day after Thanksgiving, colorful Christmas lights began illuminating 19 acres on the campus of St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross Parish in Bright.

The 100,000-plus lights weren’t there just to light up the night sky. The purpose of the “Bright Lights” display is to let the light of Christ shine in the souls of the people who view it.

“So many people follow secular Christmas, and Christmas lights are secular Christmas,” Father Jonathan Meyer told The Criterion, the newspaper of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis.

“People who don’t believe in Jesus will spend thousands of dollars decorating their yards with lights.

LOS ANGELES (CNS) — Our Lady of Guadalupe “always leads us to Jesus, who will show us the way to find peace,” Archbishop José H. Gomez of Los Angeles said Dec. 4.

“Jesus will show us the way to the true happiness and love in our lives,” he told thousands of the faithful gathered for an annual outdoor Mass at East Los Angeles College’s Weingart Stadium.

“True conversion is to change the way in which we live,” Archbishop Gomez said in Spanish during his bilingual homily. “Let’s ask our Mother Mary to help us discover what are those small things we need to change in our lives.”

Baby born at just 23 weeks celebrates first birthday: ‘It’s been the best year of my life’

by Administrator

(Right to Life UK) A baby born a week before the abortion limit in the UK and thought to have only 24 hours to live has just celebrated his first birthday.

Baby Hector was born in Scotland last November at the Royal Hospital for Children and Young People in Edinburgh, when his mum was just 23 weeks pregnant. His mum and dad, Marie Clare and Angus, had lost a baby during pregnancy three years before so this pregnancy was considered high risk.

Marie Clare said, “When I went to hospital with sharp pains doctors told me I was in labour”.

Amazing New Video Shows Development of Unborn Baby in the Womb

One of the top pro-life organizations in the United States has released a video focusing on the beauty and humanity of an unborn baby as he grows in his mother’s womb.

In “Along for the Ride,” Live Action uses “state-of-the-art technology” to demonstrate an unborn baby’s journey through different stages of growth, ability, and size. The video comes as pro-life groups seek to combat efforts to dehumanize the unborn, as abortion advocates insist that a baby is not truly a person until he or she leaves the womb.

“Pregnancy is a truly magical time for a family,” Live Action Founder and President Lila Rose shared in a news release.

Virginia Bill Would Ban Abortions, Confirm Life Begins at Conception

Virginia Bill Would Ban Abortions, Confirm Life Begins at Conception

Virginia Delegate Marie March wants lawmakers to take action in January to protect unborn babies from abortion in their state.

Last week, she pre-filed state House Bill 1395 to ensure that Virginia law recognizes human rights begin when life does, at conception, according to the pro-abortion blog Jezebel.

“… life begins at conception and each person is accorded the same rights and protections guaranteed to all persons by the Constitution of the United States, the Constitution of Virginia, and the laws of the Commonwealth beginning at the moment of conception,” the bill summary states.

March’s bill also would repeal state laws that allow unborn babies to be killed in abortions.

More and more elected officials in New Mexico are taking action to protect unborn babies amid growing concerns about their state becoming a destination spot for abortions.

On Thursday, the Lea County Commissioners voted unanimously to pass a Sanctuary City for the Unborn ordinance – the first county in the nation to do so, said Mark Lee Dickson, director of Right to Life of East Texas and founder of the Sanctuary City for the Unborn movement. More than 60 cities also have passed ordinances.

The “Ordinance Requiring Compliance of Federal Laws Governing Abortion” passed in a 5-0 vote after several local residents and commissioners spoke about the community’s expressed desire to take a stand against abortion.
