CV NEWS FEED // Abortion advocates claim that the legal “right” to kill a child is all for protecting a woman’s “choice” or her “autonomy.” Many women, however, don’t feel like abortion was their choice.

New York police arrested a man this month after he allegedly drugged a pregnant woman with the abortion pill and killed her unborn baby. The arrest of Dia A. Beshara, 39, of Schaghticoke, New York, adds to growing concerns about forced abortions. In 2021, the Biden administration began allowing the abortion drug mifepristone to be sold through the mail, making it much easier to obtain and, at the same time, more difficult for providers to detect coercion and abuse. The Rensselaer County Sheriff’s Office said Beshara allegedly forced a woman to abort her unborn baby with the abortion drug mifepristone...

Donning a T-shirt with the message “Say NO to child support #ProChoiceMen,” pro-life advocate AJ Hurley trolled the Women’s March on Saturday in Washington, D.C. to expose abortion activists’ hypocrisy.

His stunt was part of Live Action’s new satirical video series #ProChoiceMen.

When Texas intervened to protect vulnerable children against transgender child mutilation, Google was one of the companies to sign a letter warning that preventing child abuse was "against the values of our companies." A recent lawsuit provides a small insight into just what the Big Tech giant’s “values” might be. Recently a former Google employer filed a lawsuit accusing the company of discrimination. “I was fired from my team there in February of 2021 because I raised alarm about a cult within Google, a group called the Fellowship of Friends. The group is well-documented: There are allegations of child abuse,...

So that American taxpayers aren't complicit in human rights abuses, the Biden administration should stop funding the United Nations Population Fund.Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, recently introduced a bill to prohibit funding for the United Nations Population Fund. American funding for the UNFPA has long been controversial due to the organization’s link to coercive abortion and sterilization, especially in China. America’s recent genocide determination against China over its forced sterilizations of Uighur Muslims in Xinjiang makes the effort to cut U.S. funding with the UNFPA even more urgent. Last year, the Trump administration withheld funding for the United Nations Population Fund...

Washington, DC -- The check may have already been in the mail, but the Obama administration announced Tuesday that it is sending $50 million to the UNFPA. That's the UN population agency that has been criticized for promoting abortion and working closely with Chinese population control officials. In China, the enforcement of the coercive one-child rule has resulted in forced abortions, involuntary sterilizations and other human rights abuses. Research from the United States and British governments, along with the group Population Research International, has shown UNFPA officials working side-by-side their Chinese colleagues and going as far as sharing the same...

WASHINGTON, September 19, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The White House has once again denied the controversial United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) financial backing – for the fourth year running, despite assurances from the UNFPA that it is not involved in coercive abortion in China.

US law prohibits the country from contributing to any organization that participates in coercive abortion – a practice widely acknowledged in Communist-ruled China. Despite alleging that they have no participation in this practice – as a...

Democrat leaders want to force doctors and nurses to participate in abortions against their consciences under a new bill introduced Tuesday. The legislation, sponsored by U.S. Rep. Barbara Lee, of California, U.S. Sen. Patty Murray, of Washington state, and U.S. Rep. Chris Pappas, of New Hampshire, would eliminate a new conscience protection rule for medical professionals that the Trump administration finalized earlier this year. The rule protects the religious freedom and conscience rights of medical professionals who object to abortion, assisted suicide and euthanasia. It allows taxpayer funding to be withheld from health care institutions that force medical professionals to...
