A month ago, my husband and I went away for a weekend break. The hotel we were staying in had organised an Easter egg hunt for the excited junior guests, and watching the delight on one little girl's face caused a familiar, terrible cascade of emotion. A torrent of grief and regret, which I struggled to hide. It was the little girl's age that provoked it. She was seven, as I discovered when she told the receptionist while we waited to check in behind her family. The same age my daughter would be now — had I not had the...

CV NEWS FEED // Florida legislators are working to expand current Safe Haven policy in hopes of lowering the number of abortions in the state. All states have a Safe Haven policy that allows for a mother to anonymously surrender her newborn up for adoption at participating hospitals and EMS and fire stations.

In Florida, the newborn can be surrendered up to seven days after birth. The new legislation would expand the current Safe Haven...

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. believes abortion — even the murder of a full-term baby — should be a decision made by the mother. The presidential hopeful does not believe anyone should be able to step in and stop the murder of a full-term baby, making the remark during an interview with podcaster Sage Steele. Kennedy said he believes that the government should not be involved in determining if and when a woman can have an abortion. “We should leave it to the woman. We shouldn’t have government involved,” he said. “Even if it’s full-term?” she asked. “Even...

Like many states, pro-abortion legislators in Minnesota are working to make abortion until birth a constitutional right. Pro-life advocates are fighting back with an ad, and CBS Minnesota published an article claiming the ad was “misleading.” Yet the article then went on to affirm that the points made in the ad were, in fact, accurate. The ad was published by Minnesota Citizens Concerned For Life (MCCL), and said that the state has the most extreme pro-abortion laws in the country. “That claim is misleading,” CBS Minnesota said, before immediately admitting, “It is true that Minnesota has one of the most...

A judge last week overturned a portion of a North Carolina law regulating abortion pill distribution in the state. U.S. District Judge Catherine Eagles gave a partial victory to Dr. Amy Brant, the abortionist who had sued the state, and who argued that its regulations go above and beyond the guidance of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In her ruling, Eagles overturned the portion of the law mandating that mifepristone be prescribed only by doctors and only in person, as well as a requirement that patients have an in-person follow-up appointment. Eagles allowed other portions of the law to...

New York Attorney General Letitia James on Monday filed a lawsuit against multiple pregnancy resource centers and a pro-life group over what the prosecutor alleged were misleading statements about abortion pill reversal. James said in the filing that the defendants — the group Heartbeat International and 11 crisis pregnancy centers affiliated with the nonprofit — have engaged in “repeated and persistent misleading and/or false claims” regarding the medical procedure of abortion pill reversal. The abortion pill is a two-step procedure in which a pregnant woman first ingests the drug mifepristone, which cuts off the unborn baby’s supply of the hormone...

A federal judge has struck down an Indiana law which had prohibited health care providers from giving information to minors about how to obtain an abortion out-of-state without parental consent. Known as the “aid-or-assist statute,” the law protected minors from being coerced into abortions, especially without parental consent. The legislation was challenged by Planned Parenthood Great Northwest, Hawaii, Alaska, Indiana, Kentucky Inc. (PPGNHAIK) in a push for more abortion — even if minors are at risk. U.S. District Court Judge Sarah Barker sided with PPGNHAIK, saying that the law would violate the First Amendment if enforced against the health care...

Planned Parenthood South Atlantic and the state of South Carolina were in court last week arguing a lawsuit over the state’s Fetal Heartbeat and Protection from Abortion Act and its definition of a “fetal heartbeat.” The lawsuit, filed by Planned Parenthood and Taylor Shelton, a South Carolina woman, is asking Circuit Judge Daniel Coble to interpret the law’s definition of “fetal heartbeat” to mean the formation status of the heart at nine weeks post-fertilization, rather than six, and to block the law until a ruling is issued. The South Carolina law states that “fetal heartbeat means cardiac activity, or the...

A transgender abortion activist who vandalized a pregnancy resource center (PRC) was found guilty of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act.

Lawmakers in Louisiana are considering a bill that would hit back against abortion coercion via chemical abortions, and abortion advocates are angry about it. Senate Bill 276 was introduced by State Senator Thomas Pressly in honor of his sister, Catherine Herring, whose husband, Mason Herring, slipped abortion pills into her drink without her consent. Their child survived, though she was born premature, uses a feeding tube to eat, and requires multiple therapies. “She is a special needs child,” Catherine said. “Every day is a struggle for her. This impacts us on a daily basis, even now.” Mason was sentenced to...

For pregnant mothers, the number one cause of death is homicide. Research has found that homicide, frequently committed by a husband or partner, took more pregnant mothers’ lives than any other cause. These crimes often destroy the lives of the mothers’ unborn babies as well, and a mother’s refusal to have an abortion frequently is a factor. And that’s what happened in Wisconsin, where a man has bene charged with first-degree intentional homicide after confessing that he shot and killed his girlfriend because she told him she was pregnant and wanted to keep the baby. According to police, 23-year-old Logan...

Planned Parenthood’s 2022-2023 annual report, released mid-April 2024, reveals a lot about the abortion giant by what it does not say. “Where are the abortion pill numbers?” asks American Life League national director Katie Brown. “That’s the question that should be on every American’s mind.” Guttmacher Institute research published on March 19, 2024, reveals that there were approximately 642,700 self-managed pill abortions reported in 2023. The Planned Parenthood-founded research and policy organization tracks abortion data through surveys distributed to abortion vendors. “Because Planned Parenthood spends a whopping $700 million of our United States tax dollars,” stated Brown, “every American has...

Less than 1% of American Catholics agree with all three of the Catholic Church's teachings on the sanctity of life issues, showing the widespread existence of what some call "cafeteria Catholics" in the United States, according to an analysis. Researcher Ryan Burge, an associate professor of political science at Eastern Illinois University who publishes articles on a Substack called "Graphs About Religion," shared data Thursday about the beliefs of Catholics in the U.S., focusing on their views on abortion, capital punishment and euthanasia. Burge attributed the motivation to conduct the research to comments made by Cardinal Wilton Gregory of the...

Despite outrage from pro-choice advocates over abortion bans in some states following the Supreme Court ruling that determined the Constitution doesn't contain a right to abortion, the U.S. remains one of only eight countries that still allow abortion up to birth. The Charlotte Lozier Institute, the research arm of the pro-life advocacy group Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, released a report last week titled “Gestational Limits on Abortion in the United States Compared to International Norms.” The report, an update of findings previously published in 2014, lists the U.S. as one of just eight nations that permit abortions well into...
