New data purportedly show that between July 2023 and September 2023 approximately 81,000 to 89,000 abortions were performed every month. According to their report, these figures are comparable to monthly abortion numbers prior to the Dobbs decision. This spin has been eagerly picked up by a number of mainstream-media outlets including the Associated Press, the Hill, and U.S. News and World Report. Not surprisingly, the same methodological flaws that were present in past #WeCount estimates are present in this current version. Overall, regardless of how the mainstream media spin the current #WeCount abortion estimates, there remains very powerful evidence that recently enacted pro-life laws...

The South Dakota Senate has approved a first-in-the-nation bill designed to inform doctors and medical professionals about the treatments available to pregnant women experiencing health-threatening or life-threatening conditions under abortion restrictions passed at the state level amid what proponents call a barrage of "misinformation" from the abortion industry directly to medical professionals. Pro-abortion organizations have claimed that bans on abortion throughout all nine months of pregnancy prevent women from accessing treatment for miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies. Read more......

A coalition of 16 attorneys general has demanded that YouTube remove information labels attached to videos discussing chemical abortions that they argue are "misleading" to viewers. YouTube added an information panel at the bottom of the video stating that "An abortion is a procedure to end a pregnancy. It uses medicine or surgery to remove the embryo or fetus and placenta from the uterus. The procedure is done by a licensed healthcare professional." Chemical abortions are 'done by' pregnant women themselves. Read more......

In the latest chapter of the abortion battle, the U.S. Supreme Court will consider whether the federal government can require emergency room physicians to perform abortions. The question centers on what constitutes a medical emergency need for an abortion. Lack of clarity on the issue concerns both women and doctors including some in the pro-life community. The Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) requires hospital emergency rooms to provide medical care and stabilization for all patients. The White House wants that measure to include abortion access even in states where the procedure is banned. As the high court hears arguments over the issue, pro-life doctors are...

Would young women be less likely to engage in sexual relations or abort their baby if they first saw colorful images of a child developing in the womb? Lila Rose, founder of Live Action, thinks so – and the highly effective pro-life organization is working tirelessly to make it a reality. "Baby Olivia" is a computer-generated preborn child starring in a stunning three-minute animated video that's being made available to public schools. Despite how abortion radicals might qualify it, the piece is scientifically and factually based. Read more......

It's an odd moment for the anti-abortion movement in South Carolina. Not only is their agenda momentarily stalled in the Legislature, talk of abortion restrictions barely registered during this year's first-in-the-South GOP presidential primary. In contrast to prior years, neither leading candidate — former Gov. Nikki Haley and former President Donald Trump — were eager to talk about the issue, and when they did they spoke only in vague terms. Read more......

Planned Parenthood officials appear to discuss mutilating the bodies of living babies to bypass federal law against partial-birth abortions in previously unseen undercover videos obtained by the pro-life Center for Medical Progress. "The new videos show Planned Parenthood's financial interest in selling the body parts from aborted babies is even bigger than previously discussed and their criminal intent is irrefutably documented," David Daleiden said. "The new footage also shows the barbaric lengths Planned Parenthood will go to in order to cover up their illegal abortion harvesting." Read more......
