Navy and Coast Guard Stop Funding Abortion Travel– www.lifenews.com Source Link Excerpt:
The U.S. Navy and the U.S. Coast Guard are no longer paying for abortion travel.
That’s great news for American taxpayers who don’t want their tax dollars to be reimbursing Navy personnel for travel to kill their babies in abortions.
The Department of the Navy has officially announced that it will no longer provide paid leave or reimburse travel expenses for service members seeking abortions. This policy change aligns with the Department of Defense’s (DoD) recent decision to eliminate travel reimbursements and administrative leave for abortions.
“The policy applies to both active and reserve sailors and Marines who are seeking the services or accompanying a spouse or dependent,” according to the announcement.

Biden’s Attempt to Force State to Kill Babies in Abortions Goes Down in Flames– www.lifenews.com Source Link Excerpt:
The Trump administration has dropped a Biden-era lawsuit that attempted to force Idaho health care practitioners to perform emergency abortions despite the state’s near-total abortion ban. By dropping the lawsuit, the federal government will no longer attempt to usurp the state’s pro-life law and force abortions.
President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a stipulation of dismissal letter Wednesday in an Idaho federal court stating that both parties in the case, the federal government and the State of Idaho, agreed to the dismissal of all the claims brought against Idaho’s abortion law. The agreement effectively cancels the case known as Idaho v. United States and dissolves an injunction blocking the state from fully enforcing its abortion law.
Under the previous administration, the DOJ sued Idaho claiming that its “Defense of Life Act,” which forbids abortion except to save the life of the mother or in cases of rape or incest, violated the federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA). The 1986 EMTALA statute mandates hospitals provide stabilizing treatment at emergency rooms even if patients cannot afford to pay. Biden’s DOJ somehow rationalized that EMTALA’s “stabilizing care” provision included abortions and required doctors to perform them under a broader set of exceptions than just to preserve the life of the mother. Biden argued that its interpretation of EMTALA should prevail over state abortion laws and that abortions must be performed when patients request
Midwife student in Scotland suspended for pro-life social media comment wins case – Standing for Freedom Center– www.standingforfreedom.com Source Link Excerpt:
Sara Spencer, 30, is seeking recognition of her rights to conscientious objection and freedom of speech following her unpleasant experience with National Health Service (NHS) Fife, which suspended her for a comment she made on Facebook.
Spencer, an American citizen residing in Scotland, was only a few months into her training at Edinburgh Napier University in Scotland when her dream turned into a nightmare.
Shortly after beginning her placement at a clinic run by NHS Fife, one of 14 territorial boards in Scotland, Spencer was called in for a meeting with her line manager to be reprimanded.
Spencer told the Daily Mail, “At first I thought maybe I had just said something silly or made some kind of dumb mistake. My mind was racing, thinking what have I done?”
Attorney General Faces Impeachment for Targeting Pro-life Centers– www.dailysignal.com Source Link Excerpt:
The New Jersey attorney general is facing impeachment, in part, for allegedly targeting pregnancy resource centers for investigation because of their pro-life stance and for demanding the names of their staff and donors in the process.
Republicans in the New Jersey Assembly filed articles of impeachment against Attorney General Matthew Platkin on Thursday. They accused him of targeting “certain organizations based upon the political beliefs of the organization, specifically pro-life pregnancy centers.”
The resolution refers to Platkin targeting First Choice Women’s Resource Centers, which has five locations in the state.
Platkin demanded documents and information from First Choice last year, including the names of staff and the identities of its donors. The attorney general brought the investigation under multiple statutes, but most notably under the Consumer Fraud Act, according to Alliance Defending Freedom legal counsel Gabriella McIntyre.
Ohio Lawmakers Push Anti-Ejaculation Bill to Highlight Abortion Debate– www.newsbusters.org Source Link Excerpt:
Ohio’s “pro-choice” lawmakers believe they’re owning the Right by proposing a bill that would ban men from ejaculating during sex without the intent of making babies.
Democrat State Representatives Anita Somani and Tristan Rade are desperately trying to make some kind of gotcha argument against abortion bans by demanding men pay a fine up to $10,000 if they’re caught doing so.
That’s why they introduced “The Conception Begins at Erection Act” this week, attempting to twist the factual pro-life slogan, “life begins at conception” into some kooky radical theory.
Of course, members of the “LGBTQ” alphabet brigade are exempt from this law. Your right to butt hump is still protected!
“The whole entire point of this bill wasn’t to get it passed,” admitted Rade in an interview with ABC 6.
NEW: Ohio lawmakers have proposed a new law that bans men from ejaculating without intent of conception, would fine men up to $10,000 per ejaculation.
The bill was brought forward by Democratic State reps Anita Somani and Tristan Rade.
Instead, it is to “call out the hypocrisy of, particularly, the state legislator when they bring forward the bills to regulate women’s bodies,” he reasoned in some flimsy straw man that compares killing babies to the simple act of jerking off.
“If you’re going to penalize someone for an unwanted pregnancy, why not penalize the person who is also responsible for the pregnancy?” Somani questioned in a statement obtained by the New York Post.
Their attempt at witticism falls short when you read that argument back to them: Murdering your preborn child is justified if you didn’t want it. The father should instead be punished for helping create the life you stole??
But logic is a foreign concept to these adult children who are applauding themselves for wasting the state’s time, money and resources to make an edgy statement.
“This may be considered a waste of money by some people,” admitted Rade. But who cares about those taxpaying commoners simply trying to commute to work without running over potholes, when you can use their money to lecture them!
“We have had far bigger misuse of taxpayer money,” she reasoned. (Like progressives funneling hundreds of thousands of USAID dollars toward transgender operas, DEI musicals overseas and condoms overseas?)
Maybe it should only be illegal for their ilk of kooks to reproduce.
After Dobbs, the maternal mortality rate is down– www.washingtonexaminer.com Source Link Excerpt:
The public has been sold the lie that abortion keeps women safe and, by extension, reduces maternal mortality rates. We’ve been told lack of access to so-called reproductive care will kill women. During the 2024 election season, the Harris-Walz campaign pointed to President Donald Trump as a threat to women based on abortion. The data tell a different story.
Abortion lies, not abortion bans, have caused harm to women, and the maternal mortality rate is actually decreasing. Data published this month by the National Center for Health Statistics show the 2023 maternal mortality rate in the United States was “18.6 deaths per 100,000 live births.” This is a total of 669 deaths. In 2022, the rate was 22.3, which resulted in a total of 817 deaths.
Sadly, the U.S. has the highest rate of maternal deaths among developed nations. In the United Kingdom, for example, the maternal mortality rate for 2021-2023 was 12.67 per 100,000 live births. There is much work to be done to reduce our rate even further. However, a decrease is worth mentioning during a time when fearmongering is so prevalent.
The Hyde Amendment bars taxpayer dollars from being used to fund elective abortions domestically and the Mexico City Policy prohibits federal funding for international organizations that advance abortion abroad, such as International Planned Parenthood and United Nations Population Fund.
The Hyde Amendment, first enacted in 1976, is an annual legislative provision included in federal spending bills to prevent American taxpayer dollars from directly funding abortions except in the rare cases of rape, incest, or to save the mother’s life. According to a 2016 report by the Charlotte Lozier Institute, the amendment is estimated to have saved more than 2 million lives by its 40th anniversary. President Trump’s memorandum stated that the Biden administration circumvented this “longstanding commonsense policy” with two executive orders of his own that categorized abortion as “health care” making abortion facilities eligible for federal aid, and then “imposed a whole-of-government effort” to embed taxpayer dollars into funding elective abortion.
Chip Roy Files Bill to Repeal FACE Law Biden Used to Put Pro-Life Americans in Prison– www.lifenews.com Source Link Excerpt:
As pro-life activists await pardons from President Donald Trump, a key Republican member of Congress is introducing legislation targeting the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act.
Republican Texas Rep. Chip Roy introduced a bill Tuesday to repeal the FACE Act, which “prohibits threats of force, obstruction and property damage intended to interfere with reproductive health care services.”
“Now that we have a Republican trifecta in the House, Senate, and White House, Congress should move quickly to repeal this law and ensure that no future president can weaponize it against pro-lifers ever again,” Roy said in a statement.
“Free Americans should never live in fear of their government targeting them because of their beliefs,” Roy has said. “Yet, Biden’s Department of Justice has brazenly weaponized the FACE Act against normal, everyday Americans across the political spectrum, simply because they are pro-life.”
“Our Constitution separates power between the federal government and the states for a reason, and we ignore that safeguard at our own peril,” he added. “The FACE Act is an unconstitutional federal takeover of state police powers; it must be repealed.”
Pro-Life Accounts Restored on Facebook and Instagram Days After Letter From Attorneys– www.lifenews.com Source Link Excerpt:
Last week, Meta restored wrongfully suspended Facebook and Instagram accounts for pro-life news site LifeNews.com, LifeNews CEO and editor Steven Ertelt, and potential adoptive mom Abby Covington.
The move came days after Alliance Defending Freedom sent a letter to Meta calling on the social media giant to reverse its deeply flawed decisions to ban the accounts for weaponizing its standards against “human exploitation” and “child sexual exploitation.”
Meta’s restoration of the specific accounts also comes in the immediate wake of CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s announcement of major changes at the company—including a badly needed series of improvements and clarifications to its content moderation policies. In both his video announcement on Meta, and his appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience later in the week, Zuckerberg critiqued his company’s overly broad content moderation standards that have opened the door for vast censorship of political and religious views like those expressed by Ertelt and Covington. Those policies are in large part responsible for Meta’s low 15% of a possible 100% tally on ADF’s 2024 Viewpoint Diversity Score Business Index, which measures corporate respect for free speech and religious liberty.
Ron DeSantis to headline March for Life after defeat of Florida abortion amendment– www.lifesitenews.com Source Link Excerpt:
The March for Life Education & Defense Fund has announced the speaking lineup for the 52nd annual March for Life in the nation’s capital, which will be headlined by Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, all speaking under the theme “Life: Why We March.”
“Our goal this year is to remind and reignite everyone – politicians, legislators, families, and women – in the truth that every life, unborn and born, has inherent dignity, meaning, and value, and as such is always worth fighting for,” the organization said in its press release. “Our speakers will serve as witnesses to emphasizes [sic] the joy and beauty of life, and the dedication of the pro-life movement.”
From his time in Congress through his governorship, DeSantis has established a consistently pro-life record, most recently by leading the charge to defeat a proposed amendment that would have declared abortion a “right” in the Florida Constitution, overcoming more than $40 million in spending by out-of-state activists.
Texas Medical Board Director Removed After Being Exposed as Planned Parenthood Employee– www.lifenews.com Source Link 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.

Pro-Life Groups Challenge New York Law Forcing Them to Hire Abortion Advocates– www.lifenews.com Source Link 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.
Planned Parenthood Sold ‘Viable’ Fetuses For Experiments– thefederalist.com Source Link 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 Source Link 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.”

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

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.

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.

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.

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.”

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.
