The American public should be appalled by the radical lurch to the left that the Democratic Party is now taking. On issue after issue, leading Democrats now openly promote positions that liberal Democrats just 10 or 15 years ago once strongly rejected as being too extremely left-wing. This is true in at least six issue areas: abortion/infanticide, healthcare, environmental edicts, taxation, socialism, and anti-Semitism. It may be facile for conservatives to attack the term “socialist,” but more and more Democrats are embracing not just its tenets but the label itself. [snip] For those who missed them, these were the words...

MONTPELIER, February 22, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – Vermont’s Democrat-controlled House of Representatives voted Thursday to pass a bill many pro-lifers are calling the most extreme of its kind, as it leaves elective abortion virtually unregulated through all nine months of pregnancy. Last month, more than 90 House members cosponsored legislation to codify a “fundamental right” to “have an abortion,” like several other states moving to ensure abortion remains legal regardless of a future Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade. “No State or local law enforcement shall prosecute any individual for inducing, performing, or attempting to induce or perform the individual’s...

A week ago yesterday, a New Yorker from Queens, Anthony Hobson, beat and dragged his girlfriend, Jennifer Irigoyen, down a flight of stairs and then stabbed her in the neck, abdomen and torso. He stabbed her in the stomach because he wanted to kill the baby he fathered (some news stories say she was 14 weeks pregnant and others put the figure at 20 weeks). The pregnant woman shouted, “He’s got a knife. He’s going to kill the baby!” Hobson killed both the woman and her baby. He was immediately charged with two crimes, but the charge for killing her...

In America, we are entering a new chapter in the effort to protect life. Many of the old euphemisms obscuring the truth about abortion are fading and, for better or for worse, Americans no longer can avoid the truth. Consider the events of the past few weeks: On Jan. 22, Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York signed a law legalizing abortion for the entire 40 weeks of a woman’s pregnancy — literally up until the moment of full-term delivery. Almost immediately, abortion advocates in Vermont, Rhode Island and Virginia began pushing similar laws. On Jan. 30, Gov. Ralph Northam of...

President Trump was correct and courageous last night in his State of the Union address condemning the New York State Legislature for its newly passed open-ended abortion allowances, as well as Virginia's governor for calmly endorsing the killing of babies after they're born. Many on the left are celebrating their "sophistication," while we, rightfully, are sickened by their lack of humanity and morality. Their "sophistication" has made them a people with no shame. They openly and proudly proclaim that which should not be done, that which people with a sense of embarrassment would hide. ... It is becoming apparent that...

The Virginia House of Delegates proposed a bill legalizing abortion through all nine months. Delegate Kathy Tran (D-Fairfax) confirmed that abortion would be available to the mother even while in natural labor, as long as it was for the reason of “mental health.” The definition of “mental health” is obscure in the bill.So, that’s that, pro-choicers. No more pretending this is about healthcare. No more pretending this is about “reproductive rights.” No more pretending this is about removing a non-human “clump of cells.”  No more “safe, legal and rare” business. No more pretending this is about compassion for the mother...

Virginia House of Delegates member Kathy Tran has spoken out in an attempt to explain the unpopular and radical pro-abortion bill she presented to her colleagues earlier this week. The legislation, she admitted before Subcommittee Chair Todd Gilbert, would allow women to have abortions up until the stage of labor - through all 40 weeks. "I introduced a bill to repeal the medically unnecessary and duly burdensome that Virginia women face when they’re accessing this health care service in consultation with their doctor," Tran said in defense of The Repeal Act. “I was really surprised by the line of questioning...

Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker on Tuesday signed an executive order aimed at ensuring the state is properly enforcing a politically divisive law that allows for the taxpayer funding of abortions — saying he was “concerned” former Gov. Bruce Rauner’s administration wasn’t “making sure that it was enforced for state government employees.” The move prompted one Republican legislator to accuse Pritzker of running a “highly-politicized and left wing administration.” Pritzker signed the executive order at a Planned Parenthood of Illinois office in Chicago, while also commemorating the 46th anniversary of the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling, which effectively legalized abortion...

<p>One World Trade Center in New York City, NY — the centerpiece of the World Trade Center complex — was illuminated with pink lighting to celebrate the Empire State’s passage of legislation designating abortion a “fundamental right.”</p>

The New York Senate passed a radical pro-abortion bill Tuesday that would allow unborn babies to be aborted for basically any reason up to birth. Metro reports the bill passed after abortion activists pushed it for more than a decade in New York. Until now, it failed to pass the state Senate because of Republican lawmakers, but the November election put pro-abortion Democrats in control of both houses. The vote was 38-24. A New York Public Radio reporter said she heard a voice shout, “May almighty God have mercy on this state!” in the Senate soon after the vote. The...

On the 46th anniversary of the landmark Roe v. Wade decision, Governor JB Pritzker took executive action making Illinois the most progressive state in the nation for women's reproductive rights. "On the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, I'm proud to declare under my administration, the State of Illinois will be the most progressive state in the nation when it comes to guaranteeing the right to choose for every single woman," said Governor JB Pritzker. "Thanks to the courageous advocates across our state, HB 40 is the law of the land. I was proud to stand with you in that fight,...

November 16, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – Eight months ago, the pro-life organization Live Action uploaded a three-minute video clip of a young woman giving an extraordinarily powerful testimony about being raped and becoming pregnant. Jennifer Christie explained to the Iowa legislature that she’d been brutally raped while on a business trip, her bruised body flung into a stairwell after the attack.  Despite the horrors she’d endured, she was not speaking for crime victims, she said. Rather, she was speaking for the 32,000 women who become pregnant after rape—and the 75% of those women “who give our children life.” Christie was representing Save...

Democratic pollster Celinda Lake said … that women are more likely to oppose abortion rights than men. “Women are much less likely to be pro-choice," Lake, who is the president of Lake Research, told Hill TV's Joe Concha on "What America's Thinking." "Women are more religious than men, and so women are slightly less pro-choice than men," she continued.

“Vote NO on #Kavanaugh Or else we’re coming for you,” Planned Parenthood warned senators on Thursday. In a tweet, Planned Parenthood Action issued the threat regarding the upcoming Senate vote on Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh: Roses are red Violets are blue Vote NO on #Kavanaugh Or else we’re coming for you

As malignant as were the campaigns against Supreme Court nominees Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas, even they didn’t face accusations as vile and unrelenting as the unsubstantiated charges against Brett Kavanaugh. Adding to the injustice is that the frenzy surrounding his nomination isn’t really about him. It’s about Roe v. Wade. The 1973 Supreme Court decision upended the laws of all 50 states on behalf of a constitutional right to abortion the Constitution somehow neglects to mention. Since then, the advocates of a living Constitution posit that while our Founding document is infinitely malleable, this one ruling is fixed and...

Video (2:43:) of Chelly's scripted dissertation, if you can stomach it. More personality deficiencies, and ultimately a less convincing liar than Hilly! She was born with congenital Liarrhea, but she hasn't mastered lying like all three of her parents did! HA! 8O)

On the Thursday edition of MSNBC's The Beat, host Ari Melber showed a pre-recorded interview with liberal actress Alyssa Milano in which they discussed her recent activism against U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and her support for abortion rights. Melber also repeated the flawed polling which suggests most Americans support Roe v. Wade, and brought up Milano's invoking The Handmaid's Tale about a fictional American society that oppresses women. After beginning the segment by recalling the case of an underage illegal immigrant who was delayed from getting an abortion while in detention and Milano's recent video depicting the story,...

The former president of Planned Parenthood told a crowd of impressionable young college students Thursday that abortion is essential to gender equality. The Cornell Daily Sun reports Gloria Feldt, who led the abortion chain in the 1990s and early 2000s, spoke at Cornell University during an event sponsored by Cornell Hillel. The title of her talk was “3 Truths About Sex, Power and Leadership.” Like many pro-abortion feminists, Feldt claimed that abortion (women’s legal ability to kill their unborn babies) is empowering for women as they compete with men for power. “Sex is about power, more than anything else,” Feldt...

Protestant leader Franklin Graham called out an Oregon business Tuesday for creating an ice cream flavor to celebrate the legalized killing of unborn babies. Graham, the son of the late evangelist Billy Graham, said abortion activists are “absolutely frantic” about President Donald Trump appointing a second conservative justice to the U.S. Supreme Court. “They’re holding rallies and pulling out all the stops in a campaign to try to stop Judge [Brett] Kavanaugh from being confirmed to the Supreme Court,” he wrote on Facebook. “NARAL Oregon is even partnering with a Portland ice-cream parlor for a pro-abortion themed ice cream flavor—’Rocky...
