Dozens of abortion mills have been shuttered since the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health. So far, 15 states have passed laws prohibiting abortionists from murdering children in the womb.  As pro-life advocates focus their life-saving efforts at the abortion clinics that remain open, abortionists are more desperate than ever to silence them. Consequently, the federal FACE (Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances) Act and its state counterparts are being used to intimidate, bully, and persecute peaceful sidewalk counselors.  We’ve seen a drastic rise in the number of FACE lawsuits and prosecutions over the past year. The FACE Act, enacted in 1994, prohibits

 By Kim Hayes - Posted at Pregnancy Help News: Published October 23, 2023 Miscarriage care in Ohio will be completely unaffected by the outcome of Issue 1. Abortion on demand for all nine months of pregnancy will be allowed if Issue 1 passes. These two facts related to what is on the ballot in Ohio are being conflated by a barrage of confusing, misleading ads in favor of the abortion law, the ads' content repeated and recited as reality. Ohio’s attorney general Dave Yost has addressed the confusion among voters in advance of the November 7 election. Yost is encouraging voters to understand what the proposed ‘reproductive rights’ constitutional amendment will and will not do. After multiple encounters with confused voters including one woman who told Yost that she isn’t too worried about Issue 1, because “we will still have the heartbeat bill,” Yost has issued formal statements and provided complete legal analysis on the Ohio AG website .

 By Lisa Bourne - Posted at The Stream: Published October 6, 2023 While out for a local community festival this summer I encountered this unpleasant advertisement affixed to the sidewalk in the downtown metro area near where I live. Pictured strewn about in the ad were an IUD, a condom, two PrEP HIV pills, and a urine sample cup. Above these items was the claim: EXPERT SEXUAL HEALTH CARE. IT’S WHAT WE DO. Below the items the entity behind the all-caps claim and accompanying distasteful images was named, Planned Parenthood. If there is one thing Planned Parenthood is an expert at, it is marketing sexual activity precisely so that when the tools it pushes to do so fail, it is positioned to provide the supposed remedy, whether that is STD testing, or importantly, abortion. A recent tweet from Planned Parenthood spelled it out succinctly: “When it comes to your abortion, any reason is the right reason.” National Right to Life Committee estimates that Planned Parenthood performs more than

By John Stonestreet and Shane Morris: Published October 3, 2023 Turning further from the Christian heritage of protecting life regresses society to a time when only the powerful mattered. Christians who work in politics to end legalized abortion do so because innocent lives are at stake. That would be enough cause in and of itself. However, abortion isn’t just one of the many issues that we should care about. In many ways, abortion, perhaps more than any other single issue, symbolizes our society’s core beliefs. Simply put, Christian societies do not kill their smallest, most vulnerable members. Pagan societies, on the other hand, do. In a fascinating recent essay published at First Things , Louise Perry argued that the fight over abortion is really about whether we will remain, in any real sense, a Christian society, or we will re-paganize to the beliefs and values of pre-Christian times. Perry, author of the recent book The Case Against the Sexual Revolution , isn’t a Christian, th

Published October 2, 2023 In a victory for the abortion industry over long-standing legal principle, the U.S. Supreme Court this morning declined to reconsider the outrageous judgment won in a San Francisco Court against pro-life heroes of the Center for Medical Progress (CMP), who in their ground-breaking videos exposed Planned Parenthood’s ghoulish and illegal trade in baby body parts. Life Legal petitioned for a writ of certiorari in this case back in May of this year. One point that cannot be overemphasized is that, despite oceans of obfuscation from the pro-abortion mainstream media, the undercover videos from CMP did not just allege anything. Rather, they proved that Planned Parenthood was breaking the law by peddling aborted “fetal tissue” — including whole late-term hearts, livers, brains, and heads — for “valuable consideration.” Abortionists were caught on tape bargaining for maximum advantage in such exchanges. This truth was never seriously disputed in the civil trial t
