Pro-Life News

The media already mostly ignores anti-assisted-suicide voices in its biased reporting on that issue. Now, Physicians for Reproductive Health — an organization of pro-abortion medical and non-medical activists — is pushing the media to ban all pro-life voices from its reporting on abortion. This call to the media to ban pro-life voices from the discourse — as if media’s reporting isn’t already overwhelmingly weighted to the pro-choice side — is not only profoundly anti-democratic, but it would heighten already too-hot community tensions.

As Democratic politicians continue to claim that crisis pregnancy centers harm women through lies and coercion, one woman has credited such an organization with saving her life. The targeting of pregnancy centers does not sit well with Gina Marie, a mother who has been helped greatly by a pro-life pregnancy center. She came across a blog post stating that pregnancy centers are "fake" and encouraged people to vandalize them, as many have been vandalized in the months leading up to and after the Supreme Court's ruling.

After a months-long legal back-and-forth, Michigan voters will get to decide whether the state should preserve the right to a legal abortion this November. It’s a double-whammy loss for abortion foes. Polling shows strong support for the ballot measure, which after the overturn of Roe v. Wade would prevent legislators from passing an outright abortion ban in the swing state. It’s also likely to drive turnout among Democrats, who may show up to the ballot box just to support the amendment. Read more......

Lindsey Graham’s anti-abortion legislation once unified the Republican Party. The 15-week abortion ban he pitched had the exact opposite effect. The South Carolina senator chose a uniquely tense moment to unveil his party’s first bill limiting abortion access since this summer’s watershed reversal of Roe v. Wade. It was designed as a nod to anti-abortion activists who have never felt more emboldened. Yet Graham’s bill also attempted to skate past a Republican Party that’s divided over whether Congress should even be legislating on abortion after the Supreme Court struck down a nationwide right to terminate pregnancies.

Democrats’ attacks on pregnancy centers and clinics reveal just how wicked their motives are when you consider how millions of women facing unplanned pregnancies are served every year by these community-based, nonprofit organizations. The National Institute of Family & Life Advocates (NIFLA) estimates that U.S. pregnancy centers provide more than $267 million worth of free essential support services including medical services (pregnancy testing, ultrasound, and STI testing), parenting classes, maternity clothes, baby clothes, formula, and diapers.

April Becker doesn't want to talk about abortion. As Democrats seek to make the November elections a referendum on Republican efforts to restrict abortion rights, the GOP nominee challenging Democratic Rep. Susie Lee in a competitive House district in Nevada is pursuing a highly unusual strategy: arguing that Congress doesn't have the power to regulate abortion. Becker's campaign website describes her as "pro-life, with exceptions for rape, incest, and the life of the mother." But she told NBC News that she would "absolutely not" vote for a federal abortion ban because she believes "that would be unconstitutional." Read more...  ...

Abortion laws in South Carolina almost certainly won’t get more restrictive, after Republicans in the General Assembly could not agree on a total ban on the procedure during a special legislative session. South Carolina was for decades at the forefront of more restrictive abortion laws that challenged Roe v. Wade even before the landmark case was overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court this summer. The state requires ultrasounds, parental consent and 24-hour waiting periods before abortions. But when faced with the real-world consequences of bans that have played out in the other states, some Republicans in South Carolina paused at the brink. Read more......
