Forced Abortion in America is Rising and Abortion Pills are the Weapons www.lifenews.com

EXCERPT:

Thanks to the firm support of the American Rule of Law by President Trump and Congress, crime is trending down across the nation’s cities. While rape (except in Mamdani’s NYC), homicide, and robberies are all falling, one emerging category of heinous crime is on the rise: forced abortion.

These are quiet crimes, happening in the ups and downs of domestic relationships all across America. Often the police don’t get involved until the damage has been done and a baby has been delivered in the toilet. The murder weapon of choice? The abortion pill, Mifepristone.

What happens when the FDA removes safeguards on the dangerous abortion pill? Answer: More people are victimized.

Massachusetts Abortion Law Signed by Gov Healey Largely Ignored by National News www.newsbusters.org

EXCERPT:

On August 10, Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey signed a bill allowing abortion at any point in pregnancy. Abortion advocates call it “closing the gaps” in “abortion rights protections.” Abortion foes call it “abortion until birth,” making it legal to dismember fully formed babies, limb from limb.

The “mainstream” media called it nothing. You couldn’t find that story on ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, or NPR.

What about print? The New York Times noted this bill when it passed the state House in July, and The Washington Post ran an AP dispatch when it passed the state Senate. But I found nothing on the bill-signing.

The AP headline was painfully vague: “Massachusetts is close to giving doctors the final word on whether to perform late abortions.” AP reporter Geoff Mulvihill didn’t emphasize this was an “abortion until birth” bill.

This was AP’s muddled lede:

“Massachusetts is on the way to giving doctors the final say on whether an abortion should be allowed late in pregnancy, a move expected to affect few cases but that supporters say is needed because hospitals are now turning away women they should be serving.”

A person who physically attempts to prevent someone from entering a clinic or medical office could face up to 18 months in prison and a $10,000 fine.

New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill signed legislation Thursday creating new criminal penalties for people who interfere with patients seeking abortions or sex change procedures, while also shielding New Jersey providers from legal action by other states.

The law creates a new offense called “interference with reproductive health care services,” which includes sex change surgeries. A person who physically attempts to prevent someone from entering a clinic or medical office could face up to 18 months in prison and a $10,000 fine.

The bill also prevents state agencies and courts from assisting out-of-state investigations targeting abortions and sex changes in the state, blocking New Jersey officials from taking actions such as arresting someone and issuing subpoenas or search warrants based on out-of-state investigations.

Catholic Church Must Excommunicate Gov. Who Signed Abortion Law thefederalist.com

EXCERPT:

CatholicVote, one of the country’s largest political advocacy groups, has called for Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey to be  excommunicated from the Catholic Church. The Catechism of the Catholic Church says  certain “particularly grave sins” can incur the church’s most severe ecclesiastical penalty. Healey — a baptized Catholic — appears to be the ideal candidate after signing an atrocious abortion law.

On Aug. 10, Healey signed a bill that permits physicians to perform late-term abortions up until birth if, in their sole discretion, they deem killing a full-term child who can survive outside the womb “medically necessary.”

In a statement issued shortly before the act became law, Catholic bishops in Massachusetts called it “a radical measure which is gravely immoral.” Former Planned Parenthood director turned pro-life advocate and Catholic convert Abby Johnson called Healey’s act “barbaric.

The Massachusetts government website claims the “new law ensures patients facing serious pregnancy complications can receive medically appropriate care from trusted providers.” This is simply not true because the new law doesn’t merely strengthen or clarify anything. As a lawyer, Healey certainly knows the language of the statute, with its total lack of restraints, opens the door wide for just about any reason to abort a child a doctor can come up with, including the mother’s feelings.

Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey held a signing ceremony with herself and abortion-supporting women to celebrate the signing of a bill making it legal to murder the unborn up to birth. A law already existed that allowed “late-term abortions” to protect the life of the mother.

Now, a woman or girl need not give any reason to demand doctors murder her unborn child, even if it’s on the day of the child’s scheduled delivery. In the 2024 election, Democrats claimed no one was suggesting legalizing abortions up to birth. Now, 10 states have passed laws allowing abortion up to birth. Massachusetts became the 10th state.

Massachusetts Legalizes Abortion Up to Birth; ‘The Progressive Death Cult Takes Over’
The Bay State joins a list of states with a similarly dark approach to innocent human life. Newsweek: Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey signed legislation on Monday that gives doctors the final say on whether an abortion should be allowed late in pregnancy, making it the 10th state to allow the procedure at any point in pregnancy (Newsweek).

I am deeply ashamed for my country.

The states that allow abortion are falling below replacement rates for their populations. The 10 states that allow abortion up to birth are doing the worse, with Vermont being the worst of the worst. They have a total fertility rate of 1.27. The TFR needs to be above 2 to meet replacement requirements.

States With Unlimited Abortions Kill So Many Babies They’re Below Replacement Rate www.lifenews.com

EXCERPT:

… The numbers show a fairly uniform correlation between these permissive legal regimes and collapsing birth rates. It’s only logical. Massachusetts’s total fertility rate (TFR) in 2024 was 1.38, more than 33% below replacement-level fertility, with only four states experiencing lower fertility. Of the 10 states with “open seasons” on the unborn, seven are below the current national TFR of 1.62 children per woman. The 10 states have fertility rates between 1.27 (Vermont) and 1.80 (Alaska). None is at replacement level, and all have declined further over the last six years. Overall, the situation offers a bleak picture. It is not that demographers, politicians, and economists are the primary story, philosophizing in their studies about gross national product and “golden eras” going unrealized, it is the personal stories of families not formed and babies never born. Surveys say that the typical woman would like to bear 2.4 children in her lifetime. That is clearly not happening.

Parents Who Demanded Abortion Now Have Custody of Baby Gabriel After Surrogate Risked Everything to Save Him (VIDEOS) www.thegatewaypundit.com

EXCERPT:

The legal battle over Baby Gabriel took a dramatic turn this week when the California couple who repeatedly sought to abort him obtained physical custody of the newborn just hours after his birth in Texas, even as the surrogate who refused their demands continues fighting for parental rights.

Surrogate McKenna West, an Alaska nurse and mother of two, rejected the biological parents’ demands for an abortion after a 20-week diagnosis of hypoplastic left heart syndrome, a serious congenital defect that requires multiple surgeries but is treatable.

West fled to Texas for legal protection and specialized care, giving birth to the boy, whom she named Gabriel, on Wednesday at a Dallas hospital.

EXCERPT:

As a life-or-death battle over a precious unborn child rages on, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton just stepped in to take direct action.

McKenna West, a single mother and nurse in Alaska, was chosen to be a surrogate mother for a couple in California, Nausheen Gilkar and Omar Ahmed.

However, after learning that the baby boy will be born with a serious but treatable heart condition, the couple is trying to force West to abort him against her will.

The New York Post provided some additional background on the high-stakes case:

A surrogate mother is fighting tooth and nail to save the life of the baby she’s carrying amid relentless pressure from his biological parents, who pushed to abort him after he was diagnosed with a heart condition, a lawsuit claims.

McKenna West, an Alaskan nurse and single mom of two, signed on to become a surrogate with Worldwide Surrogacy Specialists in September 2025 to make ends meet.

When she underwent an anatomy scan in her 20th week of pregnancy in April 2026, “Baby Gabriel” was diagnosed with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) — a severe but treatable heart condition, per the lawsuit.

Baby Gabriel’s biological parents, referred to in court papers only as A.B. and C.D., demanded West abort the baby, in accordance with the “abortion on demand” clause of their surrogacy agreement, according to court docs.

Doctors in Alaska refused to perform the abortion — a two-day-long, highly intensive and risky late-term procedure, so the biological parents demanded West travel to Seattle, per court documents.

West, already bonded with the unborn child, was grief-stricken at the prospect.

She was appalled at the idea that doctors would inject Baby Gabriel with “a solution that will stop his heart and then he’ll be literally ripped apart and dismembered as he’s taken from [her] uterus,” when his condition is treatable, according to the suit.

“Every life matters. No woman should be forced to end the life of the baby she is carrying — including me… Baby Gabriel should receive a chance at life,” West told The Post in a statement.

New MA Law Allows Abortion Minutes Before Birth For Any Reason thefederalist.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey signed an abortion bill into law on Aug. 10 that removed the state’s current 24-week ban and legalized abortions up to the point of birth for any reason with a doctor’s “professional judgment.”

When the law takes effect in 90 days, Massachusetts will join 10 other states and the District of Columbia in allowing abortion up to the point of birth.

A press release on the bill, H.B. 5595, stated that it “comes as reproductive rights continue to face unprecedented attacks across the country following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade.” The release framed enabling women to kill 9-month-old unborn babies as heroically “strengthen[ing] protections for patients and providers, ” as “Trump and state legislatures continue to push abortion bans.”

Healey posted a picture with an “Abortion is Health Care” sign on her X account with the caption, “No matter what Donald Trump does, we will protect your reproductive freedom.”

A separate post stated that “as long as I’m Governor, abortion will remain safe, legal and accessible in Massachusetts,” changing the Bill Clinton-popularized adage that abortion should be “safe, legal, and rare.”

A poll commissioned by Concerned Women for America (CWA) shows 70% of Americans want mail-order abortion pills to stop. They want the pill to be prescribed by a doctor, under a doctor’s supervision. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche spoke on this issue during his Senate confirmation hearing. He stated, “We [the Department of Justice] are trying to let the FDA do their work so that we can work to protect the lives of the unborn children and, frankly, the states’ laws.”

But the days of toxic empathy may be over. According to a new poll commissioned by Concerned Women for America (CWA), voters are leaning towards common sense — taking a conservative stance on cultural issues as the midterm elections loom.

“The results here clearly show voters are supportive of a socially conservative agenda. For pro-lifers, in particular, the findings that almost 70% of voters agree with reinstating the FDA’s in-person requirement for dispensing the abortion drug, mifepristone, are encouraging,” Matt Carpenter, the director of FRC Action, told The Washington Stand.

Just hours before being sworn in to the Kansas Supreme Court yesterday, Johnson County District Judge Christopher Jayaram struck down Kansas’ Women’s Right to Know Act.

This commonsense informed consent law provided a 24-hour waiting period and ensured that women received information about potential health risks and alternatives to abortion. The law had been in place since 1997 and had broad bipartisan support.

Judge Jayaram will join the Kansas Supreme Court after being selected through the so-called “merit” process currently in place.

The timing of the decision demonstrates the abortion industry’s strategic attacks on commonsense protections for women and babies and complete disregard for human suffering.

Planned Parenthood shuts down three Michigan facilities after $5.6 million loss www.lifesitenews.com

EXCERPT:

Three Planned Parenthood facilities will close in Michigan as the one-year, temporary defunding of abortion vendors took a toll on its profits.

Planned Parenthood of Michigan said that the closures were driven by “$5.6 million in uncompensated and undercompensated care.”

The three closed locations in Lansing, Warren, and Livonia did not commit abortions at their facilities, though they did refer for dangerous chemical abortion drugs. The closure of these facilities further shows that abortion is a moneymaker for Planned Parenthood while some other services are not.

While the one-year defunding of Planned Parenthood expired on July 4 of this year, the effects of it in just 365 days illustrate the importance of extending the cuts. Planned Parenthood also cited its exclusion from Title X “family planning” funds as a reason for its financial losses.

“For decades, federal family planning funding and reimbursement for patient care helped Planned Parenthood expand access across the state,” Paula Greear, CEO of Planned Parenthood of Michigan, stated in a news release.

What was left was a murky, almost milky-white liquid. And she knew something was very, very wrong.”

Staring into the dregs, Catherine’s mind was gripped by panic. “Was he trying to harm me or the baby?” she remembers thinking. “I had no idea what was in the cup at the time. It could have been lighter fluid. I had no idea.” With her marriage on the rocks, the pregnancy had come at an inopportune time. But the idea that they wouldn’t keep the baby never occurred to her. It occurred to her husband Mason, though. And he tried six more times in 38 days to spike her drinks with the abortion drug.

Abortionist Kills Baby Girl in Sex-Selection Abortion, Lies to the Mother www.lifenews.com

EXCERPT:

In her memoir, abortionist Christine Henneberg wrote about a woman who had an abortion because she believed she was carrying a boy and wanted a girl.

Henneberg, who watched the abortion via ultrasound as she committed it, saw that the child was, in fact, a girl—but didn’t tell the woman.

Instead, she allowed the woman to believe she’d aborted a boy instead of the girl she wanted.

The woman was 14 weeks pregnant. When she was on the abortion table, she said, “I didn’t want to be here today, you know.”

Henneberg didn’t stop the abortion and discuss alternatives, or make sure the patient truly wanted the abortion. Instead, Ronnie, the abortion worker assisting Henneberg, said, “It’s okay. Nobody wants to end up here.”

Apparently, a woman saying she doesn’t really want an abortion is business as usual in Henneberg’s abortion facility—no need for more counseling.

The woman having the abortion continued to talk, mentioning the two little boys she had at home.

Henneberg writes:

From my secluded, light-filled perch between the woman’s legs, I glanced up at Ronnie. A silent sigh passed between us. We both knew this was the best way to get a woman through these 10 minutes: get her talking about the kids she already has.

“These 10 minutes” refers to the time it takes to commit a suction aspiration abortion.

These abortion providers seem to find it easy to discuss pregnant women’s other children as they kill the babies in their wombs.

When Donald Trump’s pick to run the Justice Department promised to take action against the dark forces behind the abortion pill explosion, he probably didn’t expect to start anytime soon. That all changed Thursday when Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) pulled back the curtain on a sinister underground network trying to pump mifepristone into all 50 states. Plan C, an under-the-radar organization that’s coaching people to break the law, has been a one-stop shop, helping women (and predatory men) get their hands on a drug that seriously hurts almost 11% of the moms who take it. This criminal operation, Hawley demanded, needs to stop.

Although most Americans have never heard of Plan C, the group has been around since 2015, quietly devising ways to bypass the law and, in their words, “normalize[e] the self-directed option of abortion pills by mail.” On their website, they proudly admit, “We envision a near future in which the ability to end a pregnancy is in the hands of the person who seeks it.” Notice that they say “person,” not “woman,” suggesting that they’re quite fine offering their services to men who are looking for a stealthy way to poison or coerce their significant others.

Virginia’s “Reproductive Freedom Act” would decriminalize statutory rape by giving girls under 18 the legal “right” to consent.

Nessel, also denied the state’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit brought by Alliance Defending Freedom on behalf of Right to Life of Michigan and the Pregnancy Resource Center Grand Rapids. The court’s preliminary injunction grants immediate legal protection to these faith-based ministries, allowing them to maintain pro-life hiring standards and operational integrity as the constitutional challenge moves forward.

This ruling is an answer to prayer, but it should also serve as a wake-up call. It reveals a pattern where the state leverages unrelated laws, in this case employment law, to control Christian ministries and undermine religious liberty.

This July, hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars flooded back to abortion businesses after Congress failed to extend a defunding provision for Planned Parenthood.

President Donald Trump championed multiple funding roadblocks for abortion providers in 2025, and rescinded Hyde Amendment violations instituted by the Biden administration. His efforts culminated in a year-long ban on Medicaid reimbursements for abortion providers. Congress passed this as part of the One Big Beautiful Bill, and signed into law July 4, 2025.

Congress had multiple opportunities to extend the ban over the last year, including a proposed amendment to Reconciliation Package 2.0, but they failed. So America’s largest abortion chain, Planned Parenthood, celebrated returned taxpayer funding on July 5 in its social media and friendly news coverage. Alongside grants, this federal funding historically accounts for more than 40 percent of Planned Parenthood’s annual revenue. One organization official described the expiration as “immediate operational relief,” though insufficient to recoup the year of lost income.

Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., is asking the Trump Administration’s legal enforcement arm to formally investigate abortion drug dealer marketplace Plan C for flouting the law by advertising the shipment of mifepristone to states where it is banned.

Hawley previously introduced legislation to ban the popular and dangerous abortion drug and give survivors a legal remedy against foreign abortion pill makers. Successfully curbing the illicit shipping of those pills into states where they are banned requires more, including intervention from the Department of Justice in the form of a criminal investigation, he wrote in a criminal referral on Monday.

“At the center of the effort is an entity called Plan C, a left-wing dark-money operation that styles itself a ‘public health information campaign’ but functions, in practice, as the referral and logistics hub for shipping abortion drugs into states whose laws prohibit it,” Hawley wrote in his letter to Attorney General nominee Todd Blanche.

More than a dozen states ban mifepristone for chemical abortions. Yet, websites like Plan C enable anyone with Internet access, even people in pro-life states, to order abortion pills to their door in less than a minute.

(LifeSiteNews) — Dutch hospitals will start to commit abortions on demand up to 24 weeks of pregnancy, up from the previous limit of 22 weeks.

While the abortion law in the Netherlands broadly allows abortions up to 24 weeks (defined as the legal age of “viability”), hospitals generally only committed abortions until the 22nd week because babies 22 weeks or older can now often survive with neonatal care.

The Dutch newspaper AD reported that the Dutch Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology (NVOG) and hospitals have agreed on a new protocol in which hospitals will commit abortions between 22 and 24 weeks on demand, despite many babies being able to survive outside of the womb at that age.

As Brussels Signal reports, the change was made to prevent women from traveling abroad for an abortion.
