Abortion Watch

Blurb:

A Georgia woman is facing murder and drug charges after her born-alive baby died shortly after she used illegally obtained drugs in an attempt to end her pregnancy.

Corporate media want Americans to believe that the charges levied against Alexia Zantail Moore are unprecedented, unfair, and all about abortion, since Moore allegedly tried to abort her baby with mail-order misoprostol, a drug often used in combination with mifepristone to initiate chemical abortions.

Pro-lifers are often accused of opposing abortion solely for religious reasons. If you follow Secular Pro-Life on Twitter long enough, you will see tweets from pro-choicers claiming SPL is really a Christian group. Some pro-abortion people say that atheists like me who oppose abortion are closet Christians who have no reason for our views except for our (alleged) faith.

Pro-abortion people have also used this argument to discredit religious pro-lifers. Even when a religious pro-lifer relies solely on secular arguments, they almost invariably hear that they only oppose abortion because their religion tells them to.

Sometimes, though, it is pro-choicers who have religious beliefs that drive them to support abortion. Some people having abortions use their religious beliefs to justify their choices. Many times, these religious beliefs, and the excuses and justifications derived from them, sound absurd.

“Reiki master” and spirit guide claim baby is happy to be aborted

In a 2006 article in The Daily Mail by Natasha Pearlman and Jenny Nisbet called “Abortion: The Legacy,” one woman tells her abortion story and gives a good example of this.

Get the latest pro-life news and information on X (Twitter).

The article isn’t online, but you can read an excerpt here [https://clinicquotes.com/woman-says-her-baby-was-happy-to-be-aborted]. (Note: This link contains a graphic photo.)

The article quotes a British woman who was considering aborting her baby. She wanted advice, but says, “I felt there was no one else to turn to for impartial advice; all my family and friends were emotionally involved.”

So instead of turning to someone she knew, she contacted a woman who referred to herself as a “Reiki master and spiritual healer.”

This woman, like many new age practitioners, claimed to be in contact with a “spirit guide,” — a deceased disembodied spirit that helped her communicate with other spirits.

The women telling her abortion story asks the “Reiki master” to have her spirit guide connect with the spirit of her preborn baby. This is what the “Reiki master” says:

She said she had a very strong sense that the baby wasn’t 100 percent perfect and that he was happy to go to the other side but would be back again soon.

The woman said, “Immediately, I felt enormously relieved because I’d been feeling so guilty.”

Satisfied that her preborn baby was fine with being aborted and would return to her at another time, she booked her abortion appointment in a local hospital.

At the hospital, she says she “couldn’t bear” to look at the ultrasound. However, a nurse told her that her baby was a boy.

She was in her twelfth week of pregnancy, which means she was carrying a ten-week-old preborn child. (This is because length of pregnancy is counted as days from the last menstrual period, about two weeks before conception.)

As you can see from the ultrasound below, her child was already very developed.

 

The baby she aborted had had a beating heart for seven weeks. He had a brain that was giving off waves.   A baby at 12 weeks responds to touch and shows a startle reaction.

This woman’s baby was already right or left-handed. Not only did he have hands and fingers, he even had fingerprints.

In a first-trimester abortion, the powerful suction would have torn the child apart violently, limb from limb.

Despite her belief that her child was okay with being aborted, the abortion was hard for this mother. She says, “[T]he only way I got through the termination was knowing that the spirit of my foetus had forgiven me and that he was going to come back.”

There have been other cases where pregnant people have allegedly communicated with their preborn babies and gotten permission from them to have abortions.

Telling your baby he is loved – before you kill him

Consider the article “Conscious Abortion: Engaging the Fetus in a Compassionate Dialogue” by Claudette Nantel, which appeared in the Journal of Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology and Health [https://www.birthpsychology.com/wp-content/uploads/journal/published_paper/volume-35/issue-2/t4XGTAVq.pdf].

Nantel openly admits the humanity of preborn babies. She defines “fetus,” as “an unborn baby in its mother’s womb, at any time from conception to birth.”

Nantel quotes practitioners who work with pregnant people to help them communicate with their babies before they abort them.

She quotes family doctor G. McGarey suggesting that someone having an abortion should have “a heart-to-heart conversation with her baby in the womb, explaining how this is not a good time for her to raise a child, reassuring them that they are deeply loved.”

Most people don’t kill the people they love, but McGarey tells pregnant people that as long as the baby knows you love them, aborting them is fine.

Another practitioner, M. Axness, says women having abortions should communicate with the baby:

through prayer, imagination, art, letter, dance, song—a level of communication with the newly arrived being in their wombs through which they explain to the baby that it isn’t the right time for him or her to come and that it is necessary to separate.

While belief in telepathy isn’t exactly a religious belief, it is another belief and claim that science can ’t prove. It is, for this reason, quasi-religious.

Asking babies to consent to their abortions

HH Watkins has women with unwanted pregnancies ask the baby to consent to their abortion. The child, according to Watkins and Nantel, will then telepathically communicate to the mother that they agree to be aborted.

She instructs pregnant people to connect with their preborn babies, get their permission for the abortion, and then abort without guilt, knowing that their babies consented to be killed.

This process, Watkins says, leads the aborting person to have “a deeper sense of self, more respect for life, and positive feelings about a better-timed future pregnancy through the process of dialogue with their baby.”

Unsurprisingly, in all but one case, every time Watkins did this exercise with a pregnant person, the pregnant person “heard” their baby give permission for the abortion. Clearly, these people hear what they want to hear.

What about the one exception? Well, the woman had the abortion, anyway.

After getting the “answer,” of no, the woman says to her baby, “You don’t mean that?”

The thought that a child might not agree to be dismembered or poisoned was shocking to her.

Watkins recalls what the pregnant woman did next:

[She] continued the process of weeping and talking to the fetus at home until there was only silence in response. She concluded the fetus accepted her intended surgical intervention…

The surgical intervention was accomplished without complication, healing was rapid, and the client felt little or no remorse. She knew at all levels she had made the appropriate decision for herself.

Lives sacrificed to convey a message

Nantel gives another example of a woman who allegedly got her babies’ permission for abortions. This woman had three abortions. With the first, she didn’t attempt to communicate with the baby because, she says “I was much more centered on myself and my life circumstances than on the baby.”

She claimed to have had an “intimate relationship” with the other two babies, who agreed to be aborted.

The woman explains:

I never felt I was doing them harm. Just before the abortion for each of them, I asked the lady who showed me the ultrasound screen to give me five minutes alone with the baby before the intervention.

I spoke to each of them in a fluid, soft manner, more like saying, ‘Thank you, see you later…’ The ultrasound screen conversations were way of recognizing the relationship, expressing my gratitude…

It was so clear for me that these two children had not come to me saying, ‘Let me be born.’

She came to believe that her babies intended to teach her a life lesson through the pregnancy and subsequent abortions.

These babies helped me, and I acted on what they helped me with. I honored them. And they had a tremendous healing effect on the guilt and angst which I carried a long time during and after my first abortion.

The babies, she says, were “beings who were my equals, partners in learning.”

The universe sacrificing others on one’s behalf

I ran into this kind of thinking in a writing group I attended a few years ago. A woman at the meeting believed that everything in the universe worked for her benefit.

In keeping with the religious concept (often known as “manifesting,”) if one wants something, they just need to ask the universe for it. If they really believe that the universe will deliver, it will. If it doesn’t, of course, the person doesn’t have enough faith.

This woman told the group that she had done this, and several months later, her husband died. This, she said, was an answer from the universe, because it set her free to pursue her writing career full-time.

I wasn’t sure what was more shocking- the incredible self-centeredness of someone who believes the universe kills people for her benefit, or that the others in attendance were nodding in agreement. I left the group as quickly as I could and never went back.

The writer’s view was in keeping with the belief that the entire universe revolved around her and her alone.

(She did say that after her husband’s death, she communicated with his spirit, and he told her he was at peace with dying to promote her career. I guess that lets her sleep at night.)

Woman “channels her highest self” and determines her baby chose to be aborted

The last story comes from Anna Runkle, a Planned Parenthood worker who counsels women in abortion clinics. Her book In Good Conscience: A Practical, Emotional, and Spiritual Guide to Deciding Whether to Have an Abortion was written to help pregnant people decide whether to have abortions.

In the book, she tells the stories of several women. Once was a 40-year-old woman named Claudia.

Claudia explained how her preborn baby, whom she named Rose, communicated with her from the womb and told her having an abortion was okay:

I got into the car and sat there and [the baby] spoke to me. She says, ‘I am looking forward to having you be my mother, but I want you to know this is your decision and whatever decision you make is perfectly fine with me. If you choose not to continue this pregnancy, I will be waiting.’1

Claudia says, “I sat in the car and cried for about an hour, feeling very grateful and very sad at the same time.”2

She had her abortion, and about a month later, had a session with her “ministers.” She explains that “[i]n my practice, we channel our higher selves.”

While “channeling her higher self” (whatever that means) she got the following “message” from her aborted baby:

[T]he message that I received during this counseling was very similar to the reassurance that my child Rose had given me in the car. Ever since then, I have felt a full heart relationship with this being…the relationship has given me great comfort and has been a source of joy for me…

I also believe that souls choose to be born or to live a certain amount of time in the womb and then depart, or they choose to be aborted…

Given my agreement with my child, who is eternal, I did nothing other than delay her return to the earth by agreement with her.3

Clauda’s religious belief, which she holds onto despite a complete lack of evidence for it, is that her baby chose to be aborted and will return to live in the future. She even claims she has a “relationship” with the baby she had killed.

The level of religious delusion and cognitive dissonance here, and in the other examples, is astounding.

I am an atheist. As such, I don’t believe religious claims without evidence. I admit I don’t know everything. I may be wrong about the nonexistence of the soul and life after death.

But I am extremely doubtful that all these babies consented to their abortions.

Religious beliefs sometimes inspire people to do good and noble things. Other times, they act as excuses to justify atrocities. We’ve seen that with the 9/11 terrorists and with various religious wars throughout history. I would consider this another example.

The Trump administration Department of Justice says women and babies whose lives and safety are threatened by popular abortion pills should have to wait until after U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s review of the popular abortion drug mifepristone to get relief.

The DOJ is redirecting its demands for a court-mandated pause on abortion pill lawsuits from the landmark Louisiana v. FDA case to take aim at Texas and Florida for challenging the FDA’s 2000 approval of mifepristone and subsequent expansions. It is under the Biden administration’s 2023 radical mifepristone permissions that anyone in any state can order mail-order pregnancy-ending pills and complete at-home abortions without medical oversight.

Blurb:

An Indiana trial court made a deeply troubling decision that abortion may be part of the right to religious exercise under Indiana’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act (“RFRA”). The March 5 decision reveals several problems with our current legal system, our understanding of what religion is, and how far we have come from the culture of the American founding era.

The lawsuit was filed by a couple of anonymous plaintiffs and a group called “Hoosier Jews for Choice,” who all allege that the Indiana law — which makes it a crime for doctors in the state to perform abortions in most cases — violates the plaintiffs’ religious exercise rights under the state’s RFRA.

At the outset, there are simply narrative problems left unchallenged by the court. For example, one of the plaintiffs “believes that, at least prior to viability, a fetus is a part of the body of the mother.” This is factually incorrect and is not a religious belief at all. Whether one calls an unborn child a “fetus” or a “zygote” or an “embryo,” it is scientifically not a part of the mother’s body up until some arbitrary point in time, such as “viability,” when it becomes something other than part of the mother’s body. From the moment of conception, the unborn child has DNA distinct from that of its mother. Religion does not entitle people to their own set of facts in this way.

Further, this argument leads to a disturbing slippery slope. There is no rational reason to proclaim that a “pre-viable” baby before a certain age is “a part of the body of the mother” and then becomes its own person separate from the mother at a later stage of pregnancy. This is completely arbitrary. If the court accepts this claim as a legitimate religious belief, I see no good reason why a different “religious” individual could not claim a religious belief that a nursing infant still attached to and dependent on his mother is also “a part of the body of the mother.” Is there a potential religious exercise right to kill a nursing newborn?

The Texas Medical Board has finally released rules for a law called the Life of the Mother Act (Senate Bill 31). This policy clarifies existing Pro-Life protections and makes sure doctors understand they can give life-saving care to a mother without breaking Texas’ Pro-Life laws. The law also requires ongoing education for physicians and their advising attorneys.

For years, the Texas Medical Board didn’t give clear guidance on Pro-Life laws, which is unusual for them, leaving doctors unsure how to handle complicated situations. The Life of the Mother Act fixes that.

For decades, the abortion industry has lied to America.

They’ve told us that abortion is healthcare, that abortion is about women’s rights, that the unborn are not human, and that abortion drugs are perfectly safe.

But consider the stories survivors of this deadly drug shared last week during a press conference on Capitol Hill hosted by Senator Josh Hawley:

“I was [in a] medically induced coma for a month… Eventually, the damage was so extensive that doctors had no choice but to perform a partial hysterectomy… I was scared and pressured by my boyfriend to end my child’s life. In that process, I almost lost my life as well.” -Shanyce Thomas

The Trump administration is probing thirteen states that allegedly force insurance providers to cover abortion.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) Office of Civil Rights (OCR) sent letters Wednesday notifying states with abortion coverage mandates of the investigation and requesting information about how their policies are being implemented, according to an HHS official.

“We are concerned about this because it means that thousands of people and employers, including religious employers, churches, but also employers who may be private citizens, but who object to abortion and would prefer that their health plans not cover it, are also coerced into purchasing a plan that covers abortion are not free in the marketplace to purchase abortion-free coverage,” the official said.

A group of House Republicans aims to use environmental restrictions to curb the use of the abortion pill mifepristone, which anti-abortion advocates say contaminates the water supply with human remains from at-home abortions.

Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL) introduced a new bill Wednesday with nine GOP cosponsors that would do away with telehealth access to abortion medications and require in-person screening before a doctor could dispense the pills.

The bill would also require patients undergoing a medication abortion at home to use a catch-kit to collect the fetal remains and other pregnancy tissue, including the placenta and blood clots, to be disposed of as medical waste by the prescribing medical team.

Miller’s bill, the “Clean Water for All Life Act,” is being championed by the anti-abortion advocacy group Students for Life of America, which has advanced the argument that the proliferation of medication abortion in recent years has tainted the drinking water supply with human fetal remains and endocrine-disrupting chemicals.

Americans’ support for abortion without restrictions peaked shortly after the Dobbs ruling in 2022 at 29%. Since then, support has been slowly eroding. Now, the number is down to 23%, a low not seen since 2019.

New Poll: Support for Unlimited Abortion Falls to Lowest Levels Since 2019 – lifenews.com

The latest national survey by Pew Research Center reveals the percentage of Americans who believe abortion should be “legal in all cases” fell to its lowest point since 2019 – peaking at 29% after Dobbs in 2022 and dropping 6 points to 23% early this year. Overall, 76% of Americans believe there should be some limits on abortion.

The American Trends Panel survey of more than 8,500 respondents was conducted in January and released this week.

SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser commented:

“Outside of the Democratic Party elite, abortion on demand any time for any reason is a repellent, fringe position. The latest national poll shows it’s even less popular now than when then-Virginia Governor Ralph Northam came out for infanticide.

The Safe Haven expansion brings Wisconsin in line with many other states and provides additional time for parents in crisis to safely and legally surrender a newborn at designated Safe Haven locations.

Abortion polling is notoriously deceptive and known to strategically skew and misrepresent public opinion to favor abortion activists’ radical agendas. Pew Research Center’s latest survey appears to be no different.

In its 2026 American Trends Panel analysis, Pew uses its January 2026 survey of more than 8,500 U.S. adults to assert that a majority of Americans, 60 percent, “continue to say abortion should be legal in all or most cases.”

Pew suggests that number means states’ attempts to use the post-Dobbs v. Jackson era to outlaw or limit abortion are unpopular and out of touch. The research center’s write-up of its newly retrieved data even notes, in bold, that “In recent years, the public has become more likely to say obtaining an abortion in their area would be difficult.”

A Planned Parenthood official falsely asserted that the abortion pill is “safer than many over-the-counter medications — including Tylenol.”

Never mind that that claim has been repeatedly refuted.

a fundraising email responding to legislation introduced by pro-life Senator Josh Hawley and his bill to take the dangerous abortion drug off the market, Sarah Taylor-Nanista, executive director of Planned Parenthood Votes Colorado, defended the drug’s safety.

“This bill is built on false claims that the medication is ‘inherently dangerous,’ despite decades of scientific evidence showing that mifepristone is safer than many over-the-counter medications — including Tylenol,” Taylor-Nanista wrote.

Normally, drug dealers go to jail. But in Washington, the state’s own Department of Corrections (DOC) could become the cheapest dealer on the block. Its poison of choice? Deadly chemical abortion pills.

In February, the Washington state legislature approved legislation that would allow its DOC to sell its stockpile of abortion pills below cost, and last week, the state’s House speaker signed the legislation — Democrat Gov. Bob Ferguson is soon expected to sign the bill into law.

If enacted, the legislation would let the DOC essentially give away its abortion pills (more than 155,000 doses worth) at as low a price it wants, setting it up to become what one Republican state senator described as the “free-abortion-pill provider for the entire country.”

A new national survey released by the Pew Research Center underscores that Americans remain deeply divided on abortion and far from united behind the abortion industry’s push for unlimited abortion.

“Despite efforts to portray abortion as a settled issue, Americans remain deeply conflicted about abortion and continue to recognize the humanity of the unborn child,” said Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life. “Only a small minority of Americans support abortion without limits. Millions believe that unborn children deserve legal protection.”

Reports surfaced last week that the University of Oregon will begin offering the abortion pill to students directly from its on-campus health center in the fall of 2026. The college became the latest in a succession of universities that have recently begun offering the drug on campus, which experts say poses extreme physical and mental health dangers to women and increases the chances of them being coerced into aborting their babies.

As reported by Live Action on Monday, the University of Oregon’s University Health Services (UHS) has decided to begin supplying the chemical abortion regimen of mifepristone and misoprostol to students on campus after an extended pressure campaign conducted by a coalition of leftist student organizations, including the Young Democratic Socialists of America. During an interview, UHS Director Margaret Trout admitted that the university initially did not want to offer the abortion pill because UHS was not able to carry out surgical abortions if the chemical abortion failed.

Abortion clinics are shutting down across the U.S., but it’s not because Americans have repented of their child-sacrificing ways, it’s because they’ve gotten more efficient at it. Now, mothers can order death pills online that will murder their unborn baby, leaving them with having to flush the corpse out of their system a little each time they go to the bathroom. Those death pills are now the number one cause of preborn infant death in America today, and the number one choice for women of choice when they choose to murder their own child.

Abortion Pill Now Accounts for Most U.S. Abortions. Hawley Wants It Off the Market. – RedState

For many pro-life advocates, the question since the fall of Roe v. Wade has been simple. If abortion pills now drive the majority of abortions in America, when would Washington finally confront the drug itself.

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) says that moment has arrived.

Hawley introduced legislation this week to revoke Food and Drug Administration approval for mifepristone, the abortion drug that has rapidly become the center of the post-Roe abortion debate. The bill would force a direct confrontation between Congress and the federal agency that approved the drug more than two decades ago.

Medication abortion now accounts for roughly 63 percent of abortions nationwide, according to data cited in reporting on the legislation.

What once represented a smaller share of procedures has quietly become the dominant method, reshaping the abortion debate and fueling growing frustration among pro-life advocates who argue Washington has been slow to respond to the shift.

One in seven Christian Colleges and Universities have formed some form of association with abortion providers such as Planned Parenthood. 725 institutions were surveyed, with 114 found to have abortion industry connects.

The Institute for Pro-Life Advancement recently released its latest findings examining 725 Christian-affiliated colleges and universities, flagging 114 institutions that have some sort of tie to abortion providers, such as listing Planned Parenthood as a student health resource or maintaining referral relationships with abortion providers.

“More than one in seven Christian colleges and universities maintain some type of relationship with Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry,” stated the 32-page report.

Published in January, it cites 10 schools in particular that have “completely forsaken their Christian values in terms of abortion”: American University, Duke University, Dickinson College, Macalester College, Rhodes College, Emory University, Hope College, Southern Methodist University, Augsburg University, and Otterbein University.

Planned Parenthood is running a “sex education program” for teens between the ages of 14 and 19 in the LBTQ and gender-bending spectrum. The program’s stated goal is this, “IN·clued will address health disparities affecting LGBTQ+ youth, who are disproportionately impacted by unintended pregnancies.” The program both encourages sexual expression and encourages abortion as a solution to “unintended pregnancies.” It is, in effect, a marketing program to find new customers in new “un-serviced” markets.

Planned Parenthood Wants Kids Hooked on Sex to Sell More Abortions – lifenews.com

Planned Parenthood rears its ugly head once again in its so-called “sex education,” and this time it is targeting teens in Delaware high schools. Planned Parenthood of Delaware announced that it would begin offering its “IN·clued” sex education, a program other Planned Parenthood affiliates have implemented to teach teens how to engage in homosexual acts “safely” and that affirms gender confusion.

This “sex education program” targets teens ages 14-19 who are struggling with same-sex attraction and/or gender confusion. Instead of helping these teens overcome these struggles and encouraging them to live healthy and virtuous lives, Planned Parenthood unsurprisingly leads these teens down a path of destruction and affirms the confusion.

To add to the confusion and nonsensical nature of this program, Planned Parenthood of Delaware’s education and community outreach coordinator said that “IN·clued will address health disparities affecting LGBTQ+ youth, who are disproportionately impacted by unintended pregnancies.” While this statement makes us scratch ours heads in bewilderment, Planned Parenthood always means business. In other words, it just wants money in its pockets.

We know from examples like this one that Planned Parenthood’s true purp

ose for indoctrinating young people in school is to gain future “clients.” Through promotion of birth control, gender hormones, and yes, even abortion for those “unintended pregnancies,” these teens receive the propaganda early on that Planned Parenthood will be there to “help” them.

This isn’t the first disturbing tactic from Planned Parenthood of Delaware to corrupt the minds of impressionable teens in recent years. As STOPP reported in August 2024, this same affiliate developed an explicit sex education video series in American Sign Language and attempted to implement the series into every deaf middle and high school throughout the country. While STOPP and its supporters wrote to all these deaf schools and asked them to reject Planned Parenthood’s offer, we did not hear from a single school’s administration about this.

However, we will not give up, for Christ is our guide and hope. We encourage our supporters in Delaware to inform their family and friends about this new LGBTQ+ sex ed program that Planned Parenthood is attempting to indoctrinate your teenager with. Next, we ask that you raise awareness within your school district and provide reasons why this program and Planned Parenthood should not be allowed in your child/grandchild’s school. (STOPP can help with this. Please contact us at [email protected].)

Lastly, and most importantly, pray for wisdom, strength, and protection for today’s youth, who are so heavily infiltrated with these messages, and for the end of Planned Parenthood’s destruction.

James Talarico, a Texas lawmaker, won the Democratic race to run for U.S. Senate. As a Democrat, he strongly supports abortion. What has surprised many Texans is not just his position, but the way he defends it. He says the Bible supports his view.

Talarico grew up in a Christian Presbyterian church and often talks about his faith. But his explanation of Scripture ignores what the Bible teaches about the value of Life, especially the lives of babies in the womb.

Around the time the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, allowing Texas to protect preborn children, Talarico preached a sermon that focused almost entirely on abortion.

Virginia is well on its way to enshrining abortion up until birth into its state constitution. An amendment, sponsored by mother-of-two State Senator Jennifer Boysko, advanced through the Virginia Senate and would make abortion a “fundamental right.” Virginian voters can expect to vote on the measure this fall.

The pro-life movement has a sacred duty to make voters aware of the radical nature of this amendment and the tangible harm that mothers and their unborn children will face if the referendum passes.

A 25-year-old man from Spring, Texas is jailed without bond, charged with aggravated assault after authorities say he secretly gave abortion medication to a pregnant woman against her will, causing the death of their unborn child.

Jon Rueben Gabriel Demeter faces a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon causing serious bodily injury — family violence. Authorities indicated possible additional or enhanced charges pending further evidence processing.

The child, named Presley Mae by her mother, was stillborn at a hospital in The Woodlands.

Abortion bans will expose women giving birth to “44 to 70 times higher than the mortality risk from abortion,” according to a new study from the University of Maryland and Brown University.

The lead author, Maria Steenland, an assistant professor at the University of Maryland’s School of Public Health, claims, “Our new analysis shows that it is far more dangerous to be pregnant than to have an abortion, and this gap in mortality risk is even larger than previously recognized.”

But what is the new evidence their analysis is based on?

The state of New York is actively engaging in a rebellion.

I’m not just talking about its refusal to enforce federal immigration law, harboring and exporting violent illegal aliens to other states like Jose Ibarra, who was freed on cashless bail by the Empire State before he traveled to Georgia and killed 22-year-old nursing student Laken Riley.

I’m talking about a refusal to follow the Constitution in a way that threatens to turn these United States into nation-states and warring entities, like the city-states of ancient Greece.

In one of their publications, the pro-abortion group NARAL states:

“Eggs and sperm are alive; so are bacteria and all plants and animals. Of course, embryos and fetuses are alive. That doesn’t mean, though, that abortion should be illegal or that it constitutes murder. The Supreme Court has said…that legal personhood begins with birth.”
