A group of lawmakers has sent a letter to United States Marshals Service (USMS) Director Ronald Davis and Federal Bureau of Prisons Director Colette Peters following troubling reports that several jailed pro-lifers are being denied necessary healthcare services while they are serving time in prison. The
letter calls attention to the situation of pro-lifers Heather Idoni, 59, and Jean Marshall, 74. Both women have been convicted of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act and “conspiracy against rights” for their involvement in blocking access to the abortion business of notorious abortionist Cesare Santangelo in October 2020.

New Law Allows Pro-Lifers to Enter Abortion Clinics [semi-satire]

| 28 April 2024 | John Semmens
Italy's Senate passed a law which allows regions to permit groups "with a qualified experience supporting motherhood" to have access to women considering abortions at public clinics. Prime
Minister Giorgia Meloni said "allowing those with a pro-life message into abortion clinics is intended to fully inform women. I believe that we must guarantee a free choice and I believe that to make a free choice you need to have all the necessary information." Silvana Agatone, president of the pro-choice association LAIGA, objected to the law saying "these pro-life advocates don't have the medical training or the credentials to give accurate...

Operation Rescue ^
| April 24, 2024 | Anne Reed
Operation Rescue previously reported on pro-lifers incarcerated for their efforts to save innocent children from being violently slaughtered at the hands of abortionists. The
majority of the pro-lifers referenced participated in a rescue in October 2022 at Cesare Santangelo’s Washington Surg-Center. At this late-term killing center, perfectly formed, innocent babies are murdered through the ninth month of pregnancy, and evidence certainly suggests that babies are killed or left to die after being delivered alive. Santangelo readily admitted he would make no efforts to save a child born alive in an undercover investigation conducted by LiveAction in 2012. These convicted pro-lifers...

Mom who aborted baby with Down syndrome says she’s a Christian, so pro-lifers should support her

When Kelly Shannon learned her preborn baby had Down syndrome, she was upset to discover she wouldn’t be able to have an abortion under Alabama law. So
she traveled to Virginia to have the abortion, and believes that her decision was the correct one — so correct, in fact, that she says since she is “a married, white, straight, Christian, grew-up-in-the-church woman,” pro-lifers should listen to her and change their minds about abortion. Shannon spoke with the States Newsroom about learning at 16 weeks by ultrasound that her preborn baby girl had Down syndrome along with a buildup of fluid...

PBS/CNN’s Christiane Amanpour joined CBS’s Stephen Colbert for her second late night comedy show appearance of the week on the Wednesday installment of The Late Show. The duo freaked out over the possibility of a second Donald Trump term and that the rest of the democratic world is similarly freaked out and
over the same issues, such as American pro-lifers allegedly being comparable to Iran and the Taliban. Amanpour informed Colbert that the rest of the world is “watching your election very, very closely because that is really preoccupying them. Having had a collective nervous breakdown the last time.

Former Agent: FBI Taught Agents Pro-Lifers Are More Dangerous Than Islamic Terrorists

| APRIL 05, 2024 | Tristan Justice
The FBI trained personnel on countering extremism with material from the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), according to former special agent turned whistleblower Steve Friend. In an interview with the Tennessee Informer last month, Friend recalled his experience at the FBI Academy in 2014: “We were shown a video that was
produced by the Southern Poverty Law Center.” The film, Friend said, “ranked people who oppose abortion, pro-life activists, as a greater threat than Islamists.” “I don’t know if they still show that,” Friend added, “but that’s what we were shown.” The FBI still relies on SPLC material a...

Two weeks ago, while sidewalk counselling outside of Las Vegas’s largest all-trimester abortuary, I watched a woman climb out of her car with what appeared to be a third-trimester baby bump. “Please
don’t do this, your child’s heart is beating!” I yelled. “Whatever your reason is, I am here to help! I’ll pay your rent! Whatever you need!” I pleaded and pleaded, yet no matter how much I pleaded, no matter how hard I prayed, it didn’t stop her from ignoring me, walking through the doors of the abortuary, and murdering her child. Hours later, she emerged, physically and emotionally...

Chapel Hill, NC — Violent abortion supporters have been dangerously harassing peaceful, pro-life advocates on the sidewalk of Planned Parenthood in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Love Life, along with several other groups and churches, are on the sidewalk almost daily to offer women compassionate support and life-affirming options as they hurry from
their cars, scared and often alone, to the doors of Planned Parenthood Chapel Hill. In 2023, this dangerous clinic sent four women to the hospital in just five months – all for severe hemorrhaging. Operation Rescue, along with other national groups like CEC For Life and Life Legal...

If the Democratic attorney general of The Garden State wants to shut down your business or scare away your donors, the federal courts cannot help you. That's
the warning issued by a network of pro-life pregnancy centers fighting an allegedly harassing subpoena from New Jersey AG Matthew Platkin, who seeks a wide range of documents going back 10 years, after a federal court ruled Jan. 12 it didn't have jurisdiction to hear their constitutional challenge. First Choice Women's Resource Centers filed an emergency motion for an injunction pending appeal Tuesday to the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, accusing U.S....

(LifeSiteNews) — As the pro-life movement and abortion groups gear up for a series of tough state-level fights in 2024, a new mantra has emerged in the press: pro-life groups hate democracy. Here’s
a sampling of recent headlines: “The Contempt for Democracy Driving the Anti-Abortion Movement,” The Nation “Voters back abortion rights, but some opponents won’t relent. Is the commitment to democracy in question?” The Associated Press “Direct democracy is saving abortion rights. Conservatives want it gone,” The Hill “Protecting Abortion Rights Requires Protecting Democracy as Well,” The New Republic This plays directly into the emerging theme of the Biden-Harris...

The Wednesday edition of ABC’s The View kicked off with a discussion of a recent federal court ruling that left a Texas pro-life law intact which did set well with the assembled quintet as the fearmongering went from accusations that women will die, that doctors will have to violate the Hippocratic Oath,
that women will not be able to get treatment for ectopic pregnancies, to pro-lifers being upset that women are having sex outside of marriage. Whoopi Goldberg began, “So, yesterday a federal court ruled the Biden Administration cannot use a 1986 emergency care law that would require Texas hospitals...

Pro-lifers must work diligently to shift public opinion against abortion, but they neglect the current political reality at their peril.With Tuesday’s relatively easy passage of an Ohio constitutional amendment that effectively bars that state’s legislature from regulating abortion in the state, abortion advocates are now convinced that they not only have the
public on their side but have found political gold. They now view abortion as such a winning issue that they think it can pave the way to enacting a wide range of other leftist goals. They are largely mistaken, as abortion mercifully remains a highly contentious issue in...

founder and president of Created Equal, kicked off the show by reacting to the results of the August 8 referendum, known as Issue 1. Ohioans were asked to vote “Yes” or “No” on raising the threshold to amend the state constitution from a simple 50 percent plus one majority to a 60 percent requirement. The “No” side won by...

Pressed on abortion in a recent interview, Trump blasted his rival, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, for signing a law banning abortions after the baby has a detectable heartbeat. Trump
declared, “I think what he did is a terrible thing and a terrible mistake.” Trump is being honest. There is no reason to doubt that he said what he really believes: that restricting abortion to any meaningful extent is a terrible mistake and that he has no will to fight to protect human life in the womb. Before denouncing DeSantis (and, implicitly, every other Republican governor and state legislator who has...

A Washington, D.C., judge has refused to allow pro-life activists to show photos of aborted, preemie-sized babies as evidence in court, as well as a video wherein a D.C. abortionist allegedly describes how he would allow babies to die if they survived his abortions. Her
refusal pertains to the case of Lauren Handy and four other pro-life activists, who were convicted by a D.C. jury last month of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act when they sought to prevent the abortions of unborn babies by blocking women from a D.C. abortion clinic, the Washington Surgi-Clinic, in...

Pre-born children are still safe in Malta due to the hard work of thousands of Maltese citizens. It
is a moment for celebration and heartfelt gratitude. Since 2021, the pro-life movement in Malta has been fighting to keep abortion out of their nation—the last in the European Union where pre-born children are still protected under law. The Maltese government, under massive pressure from a pro-life coalition of doctors, lawyers, ethicists, judges, and tens of thousands of citizens who signed petitions, recently released a redraft of the abortion amendment to make it clear that the killing of pre-born children is not...

Biden Fails To Acknowledge Potential Coup In Russia, Attacks Pro-Lifers Instead

As armed rebels with the Wagner Group stage a potential coup in Russia, President Joe Biden once again fails to show up on the global stage. According
to sources, Biden has been briefed on the situation in Russia and is “closely monitoring” developments. However, it is worth noting the President has yet to comment— a pattern he demonstrates repeatedly regarding foreign policy issues. Biden has, however, tweeted endlessly about the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, attacking “MAGA Republicans” for restricting “freedoms by dictating the health care decisions a woman can make.” Secretary of State Antony Blinken, on...
