A pro-life group is warning Senators that a proposed government funding bill could "blacklist" pro-life groups while funding promoters of abortion. In an Oct. 30 letter to senators, March for Life Action warned that language in a mini omnibus (minibus) funding bill, H.R. 2740, "would prop up the abortion industry and overseas promoting of abortion with federal funds" and would set up a "vehicle to harass pro-life recipients" of U.S. foreign assistance.

The National Abortion Federation (NAF) has announced that its new president and CEO is Katherine Ragsdale, a lesbian Episcopal "priest" and longtime abortion activist. "Abortion providers are some of my personal heroes and modern-day saints," Ragsdale said when the news was announced. She had been NAF's interim president and CEO since September 2018. In 2011, she "married" another female Episcopal "priest," Mally Lloyd. It is unclear if they are still together; Ragsdale's bio on NAF's website makes no mention of Lloyd. Read more......

Trump announced new regulations through the Department of Health and Human Services that will more effectively enforce existing federal laws that protect the conscience rights of healthcare providers.

A Christian college has refused to allow a display of crosses that honor and represent abortion victims, saying such a display would be "divisive." Rocky Mountain College told the campus group Young Americans for Freedom it could not put up the cross display. Emily Kokot, treasurer and secretary for the group said that they really didn't think the cross display would be a problem.

A new bill sponsored by two Republican Ohio lawmakers would completely end the practice of abortion in the state — a sweeping measure one local abortion rights advocate said "would strip every person who can get pregnant of their bodily autonomy." State Reps. Ron Hood and Candice Keller are the lead sponsors of House Bill 413, which, among other provisions, seeks to legally recognize unborn fetuses as people, according to a news release from the Right to Life Action Coalition of Ohio. Anyone who performs an abortion, according to the release, would be "subject to already existing murder statutes." Read more...  ...

Several pro-life organizations announced Monday that they are filing a lawsuit against New York Democrat Gov. Andrew Cuomo for signing a new law they say will force them to employ workers who oppose their religious values and pro-life mission. Senate Bill S660 forbids employers from engaging in "discrimination" or "retaliatory personnel action" against employees on the basis of their "reproductive health decision making," or from requiring them to sign any "document which purports to deny an employee the right to make their own reproductive health care decisions." It contains no religious exemption. Read more......
