Abortion Watch

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

“As someone who’s been deceived by big abortion, I’m here to say that young people like me, young, scared moms and dads, deserve the truth. And the truth is, the abortion pill is not simple, and the abortion pill is not safe.” – Rebekah Hagan

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.

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.

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.”

Abortion Free New Mexico is commending investigative reporting by the New Mexico Sentinel after the outlet published an undercover video report showing how a New Mexico abortion clinic allegedly assists Texas residents — including minors — in circumventing Texas abortion restrictions.

The investigation raises new questions about cross-state abortion access, oversight, and the role New Mexico clinics play in serving patients from states with abortion bans.

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.

The University of Oregon’s Health Services will reportedly begin dispensing dangerous abortion pills to students this year following persistent pro-abortion activism. Oregon Right to Life has condemned the efforts to get university providers to prescribe the drugs as “deeply irresponsible.”

The University of Oregon (UO) student news site The Daily Emerald reported Monday that the institution’s University Health Services (UHS) would begin prescribing the drugs to students in the fall semester after a coalition of student groups, including the Young Democratic Socialists of America (YDSA), reportedly gathered over 2,300 petition signatures and 200 survey responses.

Activists have lobbied for abortion pills on campus for years, with a 2024 effort failing to move forward.

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.

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.

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.”
