Excerpt:

Robert Bredt, medical director of the Texas Medical Board (TMB), the state agency responsible for ensuring ethical standards and quality care in medicine, was forced out after the discovery of a blatantly unethical conflict of interest.

After it was made public that Bredt worked for a Planned Parenthood-affiliated lab while fulfilling his role as the Texas Medical Board Director, Operation Rescue’s legal counsel, State Rep. Briscoe Cain (R-TX) demanded the “immediate termination” of Bredt. Following a December 30 letter, 62-year-old Bredt escaped being fired by submitting retirement paperwork on January 7.

Bredt had been employed in this public capacity since 2012, earning $185,000 annually. According to his resumé, he was working for Planned Parenthood South Texas in 2011 — even before he began fulfilling his public role with the state licensing board.

NRL News Today, in our pursuit of keeping pro-lifers up to date on the never-ending pro-abortion offensive against the true and the noble, has written or reposted innumerable stories about the war on pro-life pregnancy centers.

Sometimes Democrats—and they are all Democrats — pretend there is “cause” for suing, defunding, harassing problem pregnancy centers, but almost all of the time the excuses are awfully thin gruel.

Erin Hawley describes herself as a wife, mom of three, senior counsel at Alliance Defending Freedom, and a law professor at Regent University School of Law. She is a powerful litigator and a gifted writer. She is married to Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley.

Mrs. Hawley wrote a piece that appeared today in World magazine under the headline, “The harassment of pro-life pregnancy centers must stop.”

Pro-Life Groups Challenge New York Law Forcing Them to Hire Abortion Advocates– www.lifenews.com

Excerpt:

Last week, the U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously ruled to reinstate a legal challenge brought by several pro-life organizations against a New York law that undermines their First Amendment rights to employ people who agree with their religious beliefs and mission. The Second Circuit reversed a district court’s 2020 dismissal of the case and sent it back to the lower court with instructions to adjudicate the challenge under a more recent 2023 precedent that may give their First Amendment claims merit.

In CompassCare v. Hochul, the case centers around New York Labor Law Section 203-e, which remains effect, and prohibits employers from engaging in “discrimination based on an employee’s or a dependent’s reproductive health decision making.” CompassCare, a pro-life pregnancy care center, the National Institute of Family and Life Advocates (NIFLA), a nationwide association of pro-life pregnancy care centers, and First Bible Baptist Church brought the case to protect their ability to employ only like-minded people who will not take part in abortion themselves. The organizations seek an injunction to render the law unconstitutional by contending the law infringes on their First Amendment freedoms of expressive association. They argue the law forces them to employ and associate with those who do not share the organizations’ beliefs regarding abortion, contraception, and sexual morality.

Babies murdered in Planned Parenthood Clinics whose bodies manage to survive the slaughter intact are being sold to a University that is conducting “experiments” on the murdered child’s body. The report came from The Center for Medical Progress (CMP).

They learned of this program through emails obtained through a FOIA request that reveals a “Research Plan” to find and harvest the babies needed for these experiments. The plan was formally approved in 2018 by the University of California San Diego, who would purchase the dead children from Planned Parenthood.

Excerpt:

Planned Parenthood has been providing “viable nonanomalous” babies killed in “elective abortions” to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) for experimentation, according to a new report.

Published by The Center for Medical Progress (CMP), the emails detail a “Research Plan” that documents the harvesting of babies for experimentation on their bodies. The plan was submitted to and approved by UCSD’s Institutional Review Board (IRB) in 2018. The heavily redacted communications were obtained by the group via open records request.

According to the records reported by CMP, researchers unveiled plans in their submission to “collect tissues from fetuses ranging from 4 to 23 weeks gestational age from subjects undergoing elective surgical pregnancy termination at Planned Parenthood in San Diego.” The researchers further noted that patients with “viable nonanomalous … fetuses” would partake in the analysis.

Planned Parenthood will gather “evidence of fetal heart activity by ultrasound immediately prior to the dilation and evacuation procedure,” the submitted plan reads. The abortion provider aimed to harvest babies from “up to 2,500 patients,” according to the plan.

As noted by CMP, the “majority of healthy infants born at 23 weeks can survive with modern medical care.”

 

Rep. Chip Roy urges colleagues to axe Clinton law used to toss peaceful pro-lifers in prison– www.theblaze.com

Excerpt:

 

Texas Rep. Chip Roy (R) is urging his colleagues to vote before year end or in early January on the repeal of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act. While Republicans might have enough votes — and will have a trifecta as of January — it is unclear whether they have the requisite will.

“We’re after the election now, so I feel like we ought to put it out there this year. Go ahead and vote on it,” Roy
told the Daily Signal, “so that more Americans can’t get persecuted.”

The FACE Act, ratified by President Bill Clinton in 1994, is supposed to protect access to churches and abortion facilities but has been
weaponized by the Biden Department of Justice to lock up peaceful pro-life protesters, such as Paulette Harlow, 75; Jean Marshall, 74; Joan Bell, 76; John Hinshaw, 69; Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising director of activism Lauren Handy; and 89-year-old concentration camp survivor Eva Edl.

According to the legal organization Alliance Defending Freedom, “the DOJ brought at least 26 charges against pro-life individuals under the FACE Act in 2022. What were the total number of charges against abortion activists who obstructed or vandalized pro-life pregnancy centers in the wake of the Dobbs decision that year? Zero.”

‘Free Americans should never live in fear of their government targeting them because of their beliefs.’

Chicago’s Incoming Top Prosecutor Vowed To Target Pro-Lifers Amid Rampant Crime– dailycaller.com

Excerpt:

The incoming top prosecutor for Chicago will set up a special office to target pro-life demonstrators while the city continues to reel from crime.

Eileen Burke, former Cook County assistant state attorney and judge in the First District Appellate Court, will replace Kim Foxx as Cook County state attorney, winning 60.82% of the vote, according to the unofficial tally. One of her flagship policies is the creation of a “Choice Protection Unit” that would specifically target pro-life activists with potential prosecution, according to her campaign platform. Pro-life demonstrators have long faced prosecution from federal and state authorities for protesting near abortion clinics.

“Illinois has had a 70% increase in out-of-state visitors coming to our state for abortion services. Inevitably, we will also see an increase in Anti-Choice protesters attempting to interfere with that right,” Burke’s campaign website reads. “In order to do that and fulfill the mission of the Cook County State’s Attorney’s office to protect victims and uphold the laws of the State of Illinois, Eileen O’Neill Burke will create the office’s first CHOICE PROTECTION UNIT (CPU).”

The office also plans to train its prosecutors to defend hospitals sued by pro-life organizations for malpractice, according to her campaign website.

Chip Roy Says Republicans Should Repeal FACE Law Biden Used to Put Pro-Life Americans in Prison– www.lifenews.com

Excerpt:

Congressman Chip Roy said Congress should vote by the end of the year to repeal the law used by the Biden Department of Justice to throw pro-lifers in prison.

“Obviously, we need to move the bill forward, and it would be critical because of what we’re seeing with respect to the persecution of Americans being put in jail,” the Texas Republican told The Daily Signal.

Roy introduced a bill on Sept. 19, 2023, to repeal the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act of 1994, which “prohibits threats of force, obstruction and property damage intended to interfere with reproductive health care services.” Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, introduced a Senate version of the bill the next month.

Critics have accused the Biden administration’s DOJ of weaponizing the FACE Act against pro-lifers while failing to charge pro-abortion vandals for the hundreds of attacks on pro-life pregnancy help centers since the leak of the draft Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade in May 2022.

 

An episode of NBC’s “Law & Order” portrayed Pro-Life activists as being dangerous terrorist bombers who are trying to hunt down and kill IVF doctors. The episode, “The Meaning of Life,” offers other Pro-Unborn-Murder-Killer tropes, while allowing for a scintilla of pro-life counter through their largely DNC-CCP activist characters.

Last night, NBC’s Law & Order portrayed pro-lifers as terrorist bombers who target IVF (in-vitro fertilization) practitioners.

In the episode, “The Meaning of Life,” on Thursday, an IVF doctor named Sarah Heartwood (Erica Sweany) is left in an irreversible coma after receiving a bomb-laden package.

Heartwood’s husband is a well-known atheist author. Law enforcement initially suspects the bomber is a Muslim plumber who attacked her husband at a book lecture. When the plumber provides an alibi, NYPD next arrests a black man who delivered the package. Of course, neither the Muslim nor the black man are the killer. The real killer turns out to be a “random white guy,” in the words of one of the detectives. Surprise!

10 States Have Ballot Measures for Abortions Up to Birth. Please Vote No– www.lifenews.com

Excerpt:

Abortion is “on the ballot this November.” In ten statesextreme abortion measures will be put before voters. Last month, a panel of pro-life experts discussed the threat of these state ballot initiatives and amendments that, if passed, would expand abortion “rights’’ and even add abortion as a protected right in many state constitutions.  

The panel was put together by the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and co-hosted by the House Values Action Team. It featured four abortionists-turned-pro-life OBGYNs who shared their stories and expertise to debunk the numerous lies being spun about these proposals and to help Christians spread pro-life truth during this critical election season.

Democrats are panicking over recent polling data indicating Kamala Harris is not only deeply unpopular with American men, broadly speaking, but increasingly with young male voters.

The Harris boosters at Planned Parenthood Action recently posted then quickly deleted a meme that unintentionally illustrated the alienating approach that might be causing Democrats’ retention problems with young men.

The PPA posted the “Girl Explaining” meme, which features a disheveled young woman with an exposed midriff yelling into the face of an exhausted and ostensibly apathetic young man at a concert.

The Biden administration on October 21 proposed making over-the-counter contraception free for everyone who has commercial health insurance.

According to an article in Roll Call, President Joe Biden stated, “Today, my Administration is taking a major step to expand contraception coverage under the Affordable Care Act. This new action would help ensure that millions of women with private health insurance can access the no-cost contraception they need.”

The article explains that the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Labor and Treasury jointly proposed the rule, which would “require insurance plans to cover OTC contraceptives at no cost and without a prescription for individuals with commercial insurance plans.”

The article continues, “Health plans would also be required to tell beneficiaries about the policy and would expand their required coverag

 

Hurricane Helene Disrupted Abortion Care in the South– www.scientificamerican.com

Excerpt:

CLIMATEWIRE | ASHEVILLE, North Carolina — North Carolina’s only abortion provider west of Charlotte has been closed since Hurricane Helene because it lacks potable water.

The monthlong closure of the Asheville Planned Parenthood has forced patients to travel hours for care. It has also strained other abortion clinics in North Carolina, which have seen increases in appointments over the last two years as neighboring states have limited or banned procedures following the overturning of Roe v. Wade by the Supreme Court.

“This is a very harmful loss of access for patients in North Carolina and also surrounding states and region,” said Julia Walker, a spokesperson for Planned Parenthood South Atlantic. “But this would not have been such a harmful and impactful storm if we had laws that allowed more access for people to obtain care.”

Kamala Harris told a reporter that any hope any American would have to get a religious exemption from having to perform an abortion if their work “required it” should be tossed into the dustbin of history.

Harris told an MSM reporter, in response to their question about religious exemptions, “I don’t think we should be making concessions when we’re talking about a fundamental freedom to make decisions about your own body.”

Excerpt:

What a ghoul. Seriously. This woman makes me sick. Somehow, her tongue doesn’t get twisted when she’s talking about abortion:

REPORTER: What concessions would be on the table? Religious exemptions, for example? Is that something that you would consider?

HARRIS: I don’t think we should be making concessions when we’re talking about a fundamental freedom to make decisions about your own body.

REPORTER: To Republicans like, for example, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, who would back something like this on a democratic agenda if, in fact, Republicans control Congress. Would you offer them an olive branch or is that off the table? Is that not an option for you.

HARRIS: I’m not going to engage in hypotheticals because we can go on with a variety of scenarios. Let’s start with the fundamental fact. A basic freedom has been taken from the women of America, the freedom to make decisions about their own body. And that cannot be negotiable, which is that we need to put back in the protections of Roe v. Wade, and that is it.

The First Amendment Must Take a Back Seat to the ‘Fundamental Freedom’ of Unlimited Abortion– townhall.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

In an interview with NBC News on Tuesday, Vice President Kamala Harris lamented America’s divisive politics, arguing that her desire to ‘turn the page’ is really about “closing the page” — whatever that means — on “an era that suggests Americans are divided.”  It’s true that Americans are divided.  Figures in both major political parties and across the political spectrum bear some responsibility for that reality, including both her and her opponent.  Part of the polarization and acrimony is stoked and fueled for cynical purposes.  But a lot of it is simply a reflection of profound differences on policies and values.  Voters have divergent views on what they want the country to look like, what sort of leaders they want to wield power, and what our priorities should be.  Part of the genius of our founding is that America’s system of government was designed to push many important decisions on such matters down to the state and local level, allowing people to shape their communities in alignment with their values.  This allows those disaffected by what’s happening around them to either seek and make change close to home, or have an option to resettle in a community that may be a better fit.

British Veteran Convicted Of Thought Crimes For Praying In Front Of Abortion Clinic– www.louderwithcrowder.com

England has so-called “buffer zones” that make it illegal to engage in politically incorrect thoughts. This is why a British veteran has been convicted of thought crimes for praying in front of an abortion clinic.

Warning: This may invoke rage.

The behavior of these thought police is disgusting and one day they might just realize they were standing on the wrong side of history.

This cost him over $11,000 and the worst part is that he claimed to be “praying for [his] son.” And the fact that he cannot even do that is unreal, especially considering he probably had no say in whether his child lived or died.

Excerpt:

With an ongoing border crisis, wars in the Middle East and Europe, a precarious economy, and only a little over two weeks until the 2024 presidential election, the Biden-Harris administration continues to prioritize efforts toward expanding free contraceptives.

Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), also referred to as Obamacare, birth control pills are already free for those with private health insurance and a prescription from their doctor. However, a new proposal by the Departments of Health and Human Services (HHS), Labor, and the Treasury that was announced by the White House on Monday would remove the need for a prescription. ABC News reported that “the new rule would expand that coverage, allowing millions of people on private health insurance to pick up free condoms, birth control pills, or ‘morning after’ pills from local storefronts without a prescription.”

 

Thousands of Babies are Killed in Late-Term Abortions Every Year– www.lifenews.com

Excerpt:

Secular Pro-Life regularly shares citations and statistics concerning later abortion, including the many reasons the topic is worth its own discussion. When we bring this up, pro-choice people will often counter with, “Later abortion is only 1% of all abortions performed.”

Of course 1% of approximately one million abortions a year is still an alarmingly large number, but it’s also not clear that the 1% stat is true in the first place.

Even some abortion advocates are questioning this statistic. On X, the abortion rights account RHAvote recently shared:

The claim that “Only 1% of abortions happen after 21wks” is a junk stat based on a misreading of CDC data. And tragically has led to a kind of stigmatizing conventional wisdom that banning later abortion isn’t that bad because it doesn’t affect that many people.

Left-Wing Dark Money And Unions Team Up To Enshrine Abortion In Florida’s Constitution– dailycaller.com

Excerpt:

As election day approaches and polls narrow, out-of-state groups are pouring tens of millions into Florida to enshrine abortion as a right in the state’s constitution.

Massive Democratic-aligned dark money networks, the Soros family, D.C.-based liberal advocacy groups and public-sector unions have rallied behind Floridians Protecting Freedom (FPF), spending millions to support the group’s effort to repeal Florida’s prohibition on abortion after fetal heartbeats are typically detected, campaign finance records show. FPF is the primary group supporting an initiative on November’s ballot to amend the state’s constitution by creating a constitutional right to terminate one’s pregnancy.

To be added to the state’s constitution, the amendment would need to attract 60% support on election day. A poll in June found that 69% of voters supported that amendment, though an October poll recently found that just 60% of voters reported supporting the abortion initiative, according to the Tallahassee Democrat.

“Now, just barely reaching the 60% it needs to pass, it looks like the fate of abortion in Florida will come down to turnout on Election Day,” University of North Florida political science professor Michael Binder told the Tallahassee Democrat.

Liz Cheney Tells Anti-Abortion Conservatives to Support Kamala Harris – newsweek

Excerpt:

Republican Liz Cheney has called on anti-abortion voters to support Vice President Kamala Harris, despite her liberal stance on abortion rights.

The former Wyoming representative, who has been campaigning alongside the Democratic presidential nominee this election, said the issue needed “compassion” and that former President Donald Trump would not be able to handle it.

Speaking in Wisconsin with Harris on Monday, Cheney said: “I’m pro-life, and I have been very troubled, deeply troubled by what I have watched happen in so many states since Dobbs.

“I have been troubled by the extent to which you have women who—as the vice president said—in some cases have died, who can’t get medical treatment that they need because providers are worried about criminal liability.”

Cheney continued: “Even if you are pro-life, as I am, I do not believe, for example, that the state of Texas ought to have the right, as they’re currently suing to do, to get access to women’s medical records.
