Abortion activists in South Carolina have been caught on an undercover video taking a 15-year-old girl to an abortion center for a secret abortion. Undercover footage released by the pro-life group Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust exposes a multi-state abortion fund secretly transporting a minor for an abortion two hours away, despite the parent’s clear disapproval. The video, captured by an undercover journalist posing as a 15-year-old girl, shows interactions with abortion activists with the Palmetto State Abortion Fund. The footage documents the operation from pickup at the Myrtle Beach Mall to a Planned Parenthood clinic in Charleston that was...

MADISON, Wis. (WMTV) - Wisconsin Republicans are circulating a bill that would require doctors prescribing at-home abortion pills to also give their patients catch kits, medical waste bags and instructions on how to return the medical waste afterwards. “Anytime we’re pushing back against the abortion industry, there’s gonna be pushback,” State Rep. Lindee Brill, R-Sheboygan Falls, one of the bill’s sponsors, said. Brill said she’s worried at-home abortion pills are contaminating Wisconsin’s waterways. The proposal is part of a nationwide push by Students for Life Action to promote the Clean Water for All Life Act, including in Wisconsin. “There’s two...

A judge heard lawyers’ arguments Monday in a years-long lawsuit brought by a Jewish woman against Kentucky’s near-total abortion ban. A ruling could happen soon. Jessica Kalb has been waiting over three years for a court to decide if Kentucky law, including its ban on abortion, violates her religious freedom and puts her at risk of criminal prosecution if, as a patient pursuing in vitro fertilization, she eventually discards any frozen embryos that she doesn’t need. Kalb launched this lawsuit when she was 32 years old, just a few months after the U.S. Supreme Court’s Republican-appointed justices overturned Roe v....

A week after The Catholic Register in Canada revealed that pro-life advocate Alissa Golob went undercover while 22 weeks pregnant to test whether late-term abortions were accessible in Canada without medical justification, the national response continues to intensify, with a new twist: a fourth hidden-camera video that Golob says she is legally barred from releasing. Golob, co-founder of RightNow, posed as an undecided pregnant woman in abortion facilities in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, and Calgary in 2023. The Nov. 19 Register story detailed her conversations with clinic counselors and physicians who told her late-term abortions could be arranged at nearby hospitals,...

AUSTIN, TEXAS (KFOX14/CBS4) — Abortion providers and physicians from several states are warning about the impact of a new Texas law that will allow private citizens to sue anyone who distributes abortion medication. The law, House Bill 7, will allow private citizens to sue anyone who manufactures or distributes abortion drugs to or from Texas, including out-of-state physicians who use telehealth. The civil suits, if successful, would allow plaintiffs to be awarded a minimum of $100,000 against those who prescribe, mail, or distribute abortion pills to Texans. If the plaintiff is not directly related to the fetus, they would only...

A reckoning is inevitable. Blasphemers who pass themselves off as clergy have been given more than enough rope to hang themselves with. Consider Rebecca Todd Peters. Via Brave: Rebecca Todd Peters is a feminist Christian social ethicist, ordained Presbyterian minister (PCUSA), and Professor of Religious Studies at Elon University, where she also founded and directs the Poverty and Social Justice Program. Her scholarship centers on globalization, economic and environmental justice, and reproductive justice. “Reproductive justice” is Liberalese for killing babies as a political cause. The unholy minister has hands-on experience. Hear her preach: “I felt God’s presence with me as...

he U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit ruled Monday that two nonprofit pro-life pregnancy centers in New York and a nonprofit network of affiliated centers, all represented by Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys, are free to tell women about the life-saving potential of using progesterone for abortion pill reversal while their lawsuit continues. Last year, New York Attorney General Letitia James sued 11 faith-based, life-affirming pregnancy centers in state court in an effort to silence their speech about counteracting the effects of the abortion drug mifepristone using supplemental progesterone, a treatment commonly known as “abortion-pill reversal.” Her enforcement action...

The simple effort of religious sisters sending postcards and Christmas cards can be a lifeline to workers feeling trapped and searching for a way out of the abortion industry. A beautiful, behind-the-scenes project has been taking place during the Christmas season for the past five years. Religious sisters from convents across the country have been sending Christmas cards to abortion centers, letting the staff there know they are prayed for, and that help is available if they’re interested in finding other work. Sr. Christina Nazareth, a Capuchin Sister who lives in a Williamsport, Pennsylvania convent, received a letter from And...

Hundreds of pro-life students from Christendom College prayed outside a Virginia abortion facility as part of the annual “Mega Shield” event. Students from the Front Royal Catholic college traveled an hour and a half to Falls Church, Virginia for the November 15 event. Students in the Shield of Roses Club regularly pray outside the abortion facility on other days as well. The group said more than two hundred students attended – the school’s total enrollment is just around 550. The event is part of the students’ “identity” as Catholics, the club’s president told The College Fix. “Mega Shield is an...

Buried in a recent study published by researchers with the Guttmacher Institute (Planned Parenthood's former research arm and "special affiliate") is the real reason why reports indicate a huge spike in abortions since the end of Roe v. Wade in June of 2022: mail-order abortion. Key Takeaways: * The Guttmacher Institute notes that telehealth abortion with the ability to mail abortion pills to abortion seekers has contributed to the increased abortion numbers since the end of Roe v. Wade. * In 2023 and 2024, Guttmacher and #WeCount reported increased abortion numbers overall, with the abortion pill comprising about 63% of...

The number of women seeking permanent birth control — via tubal ligation — has increased more than 50% following the Supreme Court’s 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson case, which overturned Roe v. Wade, the landmark legislation that protected abortion access. Researchers examined the number of tubal ligations — commonly known as "getting your tubes tied" — performed at four academic medical centers in New York, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Tennessee, before and after Roe v. Wade was overturned. They recorded the findings in a study published in the journal Contraception. In the year after Roe v. Wade’s overturn, researchers recorded a 51%...

With scrutiny mounting over the risksof the abortion drug mifepristone, the abortion industry is increasingly pivoting to an alternative: misoprostol-only abortion. This shift is being framed as a safe and effective option. But as an OBGYN, I am compelled to clarify what the evidence actually shows. Misoprostol-only abortion is not a medical advancement. It is an inferior, failure-prone protocol promoted for its supposed convenience rather than its safety and effectiveness. To start, misoprostol was never FDA-approved for abortion. The drug was developed to prevent gastric ulcers. In obstetric care, it can be used under careful evaluation and monitoring by a...

The Planned Parenthood abortion business has closed three more centers. Pro-life advocates hailed the shutdown of three Planned Parenthood facilities in Wisconsin as a significant blow to the abortion industry. The closures push the national tally of Planned Parenthood closures this year to 48 and underscore the impact of federal funding restrictions aimed at protecting taxpayers from subsidizing elective abortions and the abortion industry. The centers in Portage, West Bend and Wisconsin Rapids — all part of Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin’s network — have ceased operations. None of the locations did abortions on site but all of them arrange for...

Planned Parenthood shooting suspect Robert Dear dies in custody by: Jacob Factor Nov 25, 2025 DENVER (KDVR) — Robert Dear, the man accused of killing three people at a Colorado Springs Planned Parenthood clinic nearly ten years ago has died in federal custody. One police officer and two civilians were killed in the shooting at the clinic on Nov. 27, 2015.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate lookup lists Dear as deceased and a...

A woman in South Carolina has been charged with attempted murder and child endangerment for allegedly leaving her baby to die after a chemical abortion using misoprostol failed to end the infant's life in the early third trimester. Key Takeaways: * Twenty-year-old Jocelyn Byrum gave birth to a baby at 27 weeks after taking misoprostol. * Byrum's baby was born alive, and police discovered she did not call for help or offer any assistance to the premature infant. * The federal Born Alive Infants Protection Act protects babies born alive after an attempted abortion, ensuring they are legally viewed as...

A mother who felt pressured by her husband to take the abortion pill at nine weeks into her pregnancy says a Las Vegas pregnancy center helped save her child's life after she experienced regret. During a press call on Monday, nurse Jessica Williams said she was preparing to divorce her husband in 2022 during a period she described as "one of the hardest seasons of [her] life." While she and her husband were separated, Williams met another man and became pregnant with his child. Williams said her husband demanded that she have an abortion so they could attempt to reconcile...

President Donald Trump and his administration are preparing to officially classify state-funded abortion, gender transition procedures for minors, and a host of other left-wing policies as human rights violations. In its next annual Country Reports on Human Rights Practices, the U.S. State Department will update what qualifies as a human rights violation, according to The Daily Signal. State Department officials will now record other nations’ gender transition procedures for children, government-funded abortions or abortion drugs and the annual number of abortions committed, arrests or “official investigations or warnings” targeting free speech or laws targeting “hate speech,” affirmative actions and diversity...

Twenty-nine Republican lawmakers have backed a bill introduced Thursday morning to end taxpayer-funded abortion travel for illegal immigrants. Led by Reps. Mark Harris (R-N.C.) and Mary Miller (R-Ill.), the legislation builds on efforts dating back to the first Trump administration, when policies were enacted to block unaccompanied minors in federal custody from accessing abortions. However, a press release from the sponsors highlights how the issue continued into the Biden era. In 2021, the administration rolled out the Unaccompanied Children Program Foundation Rule, which mandated that the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) provide “access to medical care, including transportation across state...

A pro-life advocate has sued a woman who physically and verbally assaulted her while she was having conversations about abortion on the streets of New York City. The lawsuit comes after Manhattan’s district attorney failed to prosecute the attacker. According to the complaint, Savannah Craven Antao was discussing pro-life issues with passersby and recording interviews with them in Harlem April 3 when Brianna Rivers approached her and held a conversation for about 20 minutes. The complaint alleges that when Antao brought up a point that Rivers had made earlier in their conversation, Rivers suddenly punched Antao in the face twice—...

In a pro-life win for children and families, Prince Albert II has rejected a proposed bill that would have legalized ending a pre-born child’s life on demand up to 12 weeks while expanding existing exceptions. The decision, delivered ahead of Monaco’s National Day, halts the bill because the prince holds final constitutional authority over legislation, according to the Monaco Tribune. Under the current law, updated in 2019, abortion in Monaco remains illegal in nearly all circumstances. Exceptions are cases posing a serious risk to the mother’s life or health, fetal conditions deemed “incompatible with life,” or pregnancies resulting from rape...
