Dr. Trevor Hayes, an obstetrician at St. Luke’s Hospital in Kilkenny, spoke at the All-Ireland Rally for Life where about 10,000 pro-lifers peacefully marched in support of life, Kilkenny Now reports. “Abortion is not life-saving. It’s life-ending. It’s not health care, and no amount of spin can make it health care,” Hayes told the crowd. “He is obsessing with abortion,” Hayes said. “It’s a procedure that helps no one and takes the life of a child. Instead he is trying to bully good men and women to get involved in abortion against their conscience.”

Gillibrand admitted to Martha Raddatz today on This Week, “We all knew,” Obama was not being honest when he told Americans they could keep their insurance. Raddatz: Do you feel misled by Obama? Gillibrand: He should have been more specific… Raddatz: So were you misled? http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2013/11/wow-ny-senator-admits-we-all-knew-obama-was-lying-about-o-care-video/ Gillibrand: No, we all knew. The whole point of the plan is to cover things people need.

...Leading up to the vote, national pro-life organization the Susan B. Anthony List (SBA List) conducted a poll that found 77 percent of Rhode Island voters oppose allowing abortion up until birth. According to the survey, 73 percent oppose late-term abortions, including 63 percent of Democrats, 77 percent of independents, and 89 percent of Republicans. The poll also found 80 percent of Rhode Island women voters are opposed to abortion up until birth as are 62 percent of self-described “pro-choice” voters. “It is extremely disappointing to see Rhode Island lawmakers cave to pressure from the abortion lobby to pass this...

As an Irishman, I’m embarrassed at the treatment of the President of the United States on his recent visit to Ireland. His shabby reception in Ireland contrasts sharply with the red carpet treatment in London. Media reports that the Leo Varadkar (the Irish Prime Minister/Taoiseach) refused to meet at the Trump resort at Doonbeg. The hostile media is having a field day with this. Vox reported President Trump will meet the Irish prime minister -- at the airport. Trump reportedly wanted to go to his golf course in Ireland. The Irish government said no. So they’re meeting at the airport...

The University of Alabama gave back a philanthropist’s $26.5 million donation and took his name off the law school Friday, a week after he called on students to boycott the institution over the state’s new abortion ban. Hugh F. Culverhouse Jr., a 70-year-old Florida real estate investor, said he has no doubt the board of trustees acted in response to his remarks, and he complained that the state of Alabama is only reinforcing its reputation as “the land of the backward,” full of “hicks.” University officials emphatically denied the decision had anything to do with Culverhouse’s stand on the abortion...

Street artist Sabo refashioned a photo of pop star Miley Cyrus licking a cake that read “abortion is healthcare,” replacing the cake with a bloody, aborted baby. “This is in response to Miley licking an “ABORTION IS HEALTHCARE” cake which those on the Right found as tasteless and disrespectful as I’m sure the Left will find my version,” Sabo told Breitbart News of his repurposed political art, which popped up this week around the city of Los Angeles.

The left flank of the Democratic Party is ramping up efforts to target and isolate pro-life Democrats, as the party base mobilizes over restrictive new abortion laws being passed in states across the country. While the party once tolerated both pro-life and pro-choice Democrats inside the tent, those with pro-life views are being told they aren’t welcome anymore. The shift comes as the policy debate becomes increasingly polarized. Conservative Alabama passed a virtual ban on abortions last month — and some Democratic presidential candidates have openly supported the right of a woman to terminate a late-term pregnancy. “As a party,...

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration said Wednesday it is ending medical research by government scientists using human fetal tissue, a victory for abortion foes that comes despite impassioned pleas from scientists that some health problems can't be studied any other way. Research using fetal tissue that otherwise would be discarded has been funded by the government, under leadership of both political parties, for decades — and has led to life-saving advances including development of vaccines for rubella and rabies, and drugs for the HIV virus. Officials said government-sponsored research by universities will be allowed to continue, subject to additional scrutiny....

Do Democrats want children to die? They oppose legislation to prevent them from being killed. They pass legislation that seeks ways to ensure their death. They make outlandish and ridiculously stupid claims as justification to do so. And when presented with evidence to the contrary they flinch. Recently I found myself in a conversation with perhaps the single most influential person not currently in elective office in New York City. We were discussing the impact of the six or seven states that have adopted “heartbeat bills” and Alabama’s recently passed nearly 100% abortion ban. This person’s observation specifically: “If Republicans...

Pope Francis said Saturday that abortion can never be condoned, even when the fetus is gravely sick or likely to die, and urged doctors and priests to support families to carry such pregnancies to term. Speaking to a Vatican-sponsored anti-abortion conference, Francis said the opposition to abortion isn’t a religious issue but a human one. “Is it licit to throw away a life to resolve a problem?” he asked. “Is it licit to hire a hitman to resolve a problem?” […] His comments come as the abortion debate is again making headlines in the U.S. with state initiatives seeking to...

The Clown Show Continues More from Kaitlin Bennett's visit to the circus in Austin, Texas. ***VIDEO IS 7 MINUTES LONG*** In this one protesters says it's okay to kill a child UP TO THREE YEARS!!

David Daleiden Journalists David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt, who exposed suspect dealings at taxpayer-funded abortion mill Planned Parenthood via undercover videos, were denied a request to halt criminal prosecution, a press release from The Thomas More Society said on Friday. Ocasio-Cortez: There'd Be 'As Many Planned Parenthood Clinics' As Post Offices If Male Politicians Could Get Pregnant (See video in link at source) Last month, the California Supreme Court issued a stay in the high-profile case based on "political bias and selective prosecution." But now the case is moving forward. Daleiden and Merritt were hit with 15 felony charges in...

Joe Biden would support Congress enshrining abortion rights into federal law “should it become necessary,” his presidential campaign said Tuesday, following several other Democratic candidates in promising to take that step if elected president. The hot-button issue has shot to the forefront of the Democratic primary following a spate of new Republican-backed state laws curbing access to abortion. With all the two dozen Democratic White House hopefuls supportive of abortion rights, the debate in the party has centered on how aggressive they should be if the Supreme Court were to eventually overturn legalized abortion nationwide. Biden released a video on...

“Keep abortion safe and legal” people chanted at a “Stop The Abortion Ban” rally at the Massachusetts State House in Boston at noon today. Hundreds of women and some men attended to protest restrictions passed in recent months by the states of Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi and Ohio.

HUNTINGTON - Reproductive rights advocates were set to rally Monday against anti-abortion laws that have been gaining ground around the U.S. Dr. Eve Krief, a pediatrician in Huntington, is pro-choice and says she believes in safe, affordable reproductive health care for women. She says the recent laws in Alabama and Missouri left her in shock. Even though there are no proposals in New York to restrict abortions, Krief and others say they feel their reproductive rights are being attacked. But not everyone agrees. Pastor Joni Lupus, president of March for Life New York, and her husband Jim held a fundraiser...

President Donald Trump’s only major Republican primary challenger said Saturday that the recent spate of abortion laws being passed in states like Alabama has him feeling “terrible,” and declared that abortion is a decision the government should not come anywhere near. At a campaign stop in Exeter, New Hampshire, former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld told a crowd of voters he’s “the most pro-choice person you’re ever going to meet.” “The way I look at it, it’s kind of a power issue,” Weld said. “And who wants a lot of big, fat, white guys who live in Washington 700 miles away...

The woman behind the film says she wouldn’t write it today. When Diablo Cody set out to write her first screenplay more than a decade ago, she said her inspiration came from one question: “What’s a story that’s never been told?” With that, the 2007 Oscar-winning film “Juno” was born — a coming-of-age comedy chronicling the ups and downs in the life of a 16-year-old girl who gets pregnant unexpectedly and decides to give her baby up for adoption. ... For Cody though, who has been vocal about being an abortion rights advocate, having her breakout movie be associated with...

FULL TITLE: 'These are the idiots making decisions for WOMEN in America': Rihanna slams Alabama lawmakers as celebrities share their own abortion stories in a backlash against state's near-total ban Rihanna has called the Alabama state senators who voted in favor of a near-total ban on abortions in the state 'idiots', as celebrities continue to vent outrage at the law.

Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold announced Thursday that her staff was banned from traveling to Alabama after the state signed into law the toughest abortion law in the nation. "I’m calling for a boycott of Alabama," Griswold wrote in a tweet. "Until Alabama allows for safe & legal access to health care for women, I will not authorize spending of state resources on travel to Alabama. I call on other state and local leaders in CO and across the country to join me in this boycott."

As the Trump administration is set to unveil its latest iteration of immigration reform, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi slammed the proposal for more merit-based immigration as "condescending" and signaled that Democrats would not support legislation that does not include a pathway to citizenship. A senior administration official told CBS News that the president's proposal aims to alter the composition of incoming legal immigrants, with a focus on increasing the share of highly skilled immigrants. The plan also calls for improving physical border security. "They say family is without merit -- are they saying most of the people that come to...
