Today, Live Action unveiled a cutting-edge political advertisement campaign to encourage the people of Ohio to vote against Issue 1 on November 7th. Lila Rose, founder and president of Live Action, released the following statement: “Ohio voters will soon make a decision of whether to add expansive language to their state constitution that will target preborn children for death and leave women in dangerous and vulnerable situations to be pressured and coerced into abortions. If passed, Issue 1 in Ohio will open the floodgates to abortion up until the moment of birth, and strip the rights of parents to know...

Author and historian Garry Wills is accusing the Catholic Church of being wishy-washy on abortion. Instead, he says, those who stubbornly advocate for life belong to a “cult of the fetus.” His words are misleading – at best. Here’s why.

They yelled at him to "stay out of Portland b*tch!" These...

Anti-abortion activist Tayler Hansen painted the phrase “Baby Lives Matter” on the street outside two women’s health clinics in Charlotte, N.C., this week. The first one was painted outside of a Planned Parenthood facility, and the other was painted on the street near a clinic called “A Preferred Women’s Health Center”.

It appears that way, at least for their largest affiliate, Planned Parenthood of Greater New York (PPGNY). The woke mob is trying to take down PPGNY CEO Laura McQuade, whom they accuse of having a “Trumpian leadership style,” in a story that's only been covered by a handful of online outlets. An open letter to the PPGNY Board of Directors signed by 300 current and former staff members on June 18 alleges...
