Popular Republican journalist Jonah Goldberg angered his base Wednesday by claiming people can be conservative and support abortion. Goldberg is a senior editor at the National Review and a New York Times bestselling author. On Twitter Wednesday, he made the comment about fellow conservative journalist Tomi Lahren who has been openly critical of pro-lifers. “Honestly, I think you can support abortion and still be a conservative. I just have a problem when you’re stupid about it or use left wing arguments for it — or both,” Goldberg wrote in the post, linking to one of Lahren’s recent comments. Goldberg continued...

“Comedians” are making jokes about getting your abortions now, before Donald Trump’s latest Supreme Court appointment takes the right away. A new series of emojis indicate that a woman won’t have sex with a man who supports said nominee. Headlines declare, “There’s a Special Place in Hell for Women Who Gut Abortion Rights...But wait.... ... Who are we and who do we want to be? People who let the Court determine things we really should be talking about on a more intimate level, or people known for stepping up to the plate when life gets hard? Friends who just returned...

Multiple news outlets are reporting that Robert Latimer has submitted a letter to the Minister of Justice seeking a pardon or a new trial following his conviction for the murder of his daughter Tracy in 1993. Latimer has been free on parole since 2010. Contrary to some media reports, Latimer has been able to travel outside Canada since 2015, according to the Globe and Mail. Disability rights activists are concerned that the pardon request is a “symptom and effect of the continuing devaluation of disabled people” as shown by the legalization of assisted suicide and euthanasia in 2016, according to...

Friday, The View’s Hot Topics table, devolved into a shouting match between Republican hosts Meghan McCain and Tara Setmayer. The Never Trump, CNN commentator was a fill-in host for the day, and used the opportunity to air her grievances against Republicans who supported the President as part of a “cult.” McCain took issue with Setmayer’s rhetoric and the two sparred, as some of the liberal hosts chimed in to support Setmayer. Host Joy Behar led the segment by explaining Trump’s visit to the UK and his recorded interview with the British tabloid The Sun, where he derided Prime Minister Theresa...

Like you’re surprised? Planned Parenthood of New York City — claiming Big Apple residents “have more sex than anyone else in America. (Woo! We did it!)” — wants to “make sure that everyone has access to the sexual and reproductive health care services they need.” To that end, the organization launched a fundraising campaign this week aimed at millennials — and it broadcasts its intent in no uncertain terms: “Protect our freedom to f***.” ‘Proud to provide abortion services’ Planned Parenthood of New York City noted that in addition to being “proud to provide abortion services,” donations “will go toward...

Yesterday we posted about uber-ambitious New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who is furiously trying to out-promise a fellow pro-abortion Democrat running for governor in his commitment to extending , amplifying, and expanding abortion. Cuomo holds a press conference Monday warning state Senate Republicans to immediately reconvene to pass the “Reproductive Health Act” which is even more radical than Roe. If not, he threatened, voters will send Senate Republicans packing. (The state Assembly is safely in the hands of pro-abortion Democrats.) Tuesday gubernatorial rival Cynthia Nixon does Cuomo one better at her rally. Waving a coat hanger (these people are nothing...

According to Lauren Sandler, opinion columnist for Huffington Post, conservative’s “source document for understanding the rights of Americans is not the Constitution, but the New Testament.” She believes they use this document to force women to submit to their husbands and have babies. Trump’s Supreme Court pick Brett Kavanaugh, although not a evangelical Christian, is a “thriving alumnus of President George W. Bush’s administration, the same administration that “best understood the vigorous political power of cultural conservatives.” He, and other conservative Christians in politics are demanding that “their beliefs be honored as the rule of law.” Sandler claims that “the...

In the days leading up to the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion in America, pro-choice advocates claimed hundreds of thousands of women had died from illegal abortions. Because of this, several lawmakers voted to decriminalize abortion prior to Roe, and even today, some lawmakers are hesitant to outlaw it because of this lie. These statistics were invented by the same people who would profit from the procedure’s legalization. False Claim #1: 5,000-10,000 women died annual from illegal abortion before Roe. FACT: These statistics were made up. The real number was a mere fraction of this. Abortionist Bernard...

A disturbing video has surfaced on social media over the weekend that depicts two men wearing white lab coats playing with what appears to be aborted babies. The two men, whose faces cannot be seen in the video, each pick up a body and begin to make them “dance” together as if they were dolls. “It is obvious these babies’ bodies are not models or dolls,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “This kind of sick gallows humor is revolting to most people and shows a gross disregard for human life.” Once the bodies are tossed back into a metal...

OTTAWA, July 11, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) — A Canadian Jesuit who has fasted and prayed on Parliament Hill for nearly 30 years to end abortion has blasted his order for being silent on “the worldwide genocide of the preborn” for the same length of time. Fr. Tony Van Hee, who will be 83 in September, also issued a heartfelt plea in a February letter to Jesuit superior general Fr. Arturo Sosa Abascal that the Jesuits make ending abortion a top priority. It was his personal response to Abascal’s request for proposals by January 2019 for new “universal apostolic preferences” to...

A new abortion clinic opened next door to a children’s day care facility Monday in Columbus, Ohio, sparking outrage in the neighborhood. The new abortion business, Your Choices Healthcare on Karl Road, is operated by the same group that ran Founders Women’s Health Center, an abortion facility on Broad Street, WOSU Radio News reports. Founders closed at the end of June for unknown reasons after 45 years in business. It aborted unborn babies up to 17 weeks of pregnancy. The new abortion facility will abort unborn babies up to 10 weeks for a price of $525 or more. One of...

It has been two days since Brett Kavanaugh’s promotion and lefty media have already been ravenous in their desire to do as much damage as possible to his character. Monday morning’s Huffpo piece attacked Kavanaugh’s image as a good father to two young girls as a “shameless” ruse to distract from his anti-women conservatism. Huffington Post began by stating that Brett Kavanaugh “is apparently a very good girls’ basketball coach, an attentive father to two young daughters, and a man who has actually hired women more than a few times to work with him." However, according to the article, this...

Planned Parenthood launched a huge new advertising campaign this week to oppose President Donald Trump’s nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court. Hoping to lobby enough U.S. Senators to oppose his nominee, Judge Brett Kavanaugh, the abortion chain is running the ad in all 50 states, the Washington Examiner reports. “Tell your Senators, ‘Oppose Brett Kavanaugh and protect our constitutional right to abortion,’” the ad says. The ad includes a clip of Trump’s statements about the Supreme Court during a 2016 presidential debate in Las Vegas. Trump said if he appoints two or three justices to the high court, Roe v....

Jacinta, former abortion worker: “I see people who repeatedly get pregnant because they don’t use contraception. I don’t think that they don’t use contraception deliberately, it’s just something in their makeup or mental attitude that is preventing them from using it at all, or using it properly. There are a lot of different reasons why people don’t use contraception properly, reasons not always recognized by the people themselves.” Leslie Cannold The Abortion Myth (Middletown, Connecticut: Wesleyan University Press, 1998) 91

Cecile Richards has announced she is stepping down as CEO of Planned Parenthood after more than a decade as the recognizable face of the abortion giant. The amount of pain women have experienced under her directive, not to mention the 3 million unborn babies aborted, is severe, to put it mildly. But there is another dimension to the abortion industry rarely discussed: The women who work in abortion clinics but who no longer want to be there. And Then There Were None is a non-profit organization that exists just for these women, and some of their stories are as horrifying...

Helen Bayley was a member of the local League of Women Voters in New York, and she became active in the pro-choice movement after being forced to have two psychiatrists pronounce her mentally unstable in order to have an abortion. (In the 1960s, in some states, a woman had to claim mental illness in order to be granted and abortion) From the book Before Roe: “I’m going to kill my kids,” I raged. I said I’ll go berserk. I felt that way. I felt like a tigress. I felt I was clawing my way out of a thicket.” The book...

There is a lot of speculation right now about what abortion laws would look like if the U.S. Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade. And while abortion activists are fear-mongering with images of coat hangers and talk of back alley abortions, legal scholars say abortions will still be legal in most of the United States if Roe is overturned. “We think there are 22 states likely to ban abortion without Roe,” Amy Myrick, an attorney at the Center for Reproductive Rights, told the Las Vegas Sun. “The threat level is very high now.” Abortion activists are worried and pro-lifers are...

Charlotte, NC – Even though Diamond Renee Williams died in 2016, it is still extremely emotional for her mother, Shakira, to talk about it. It was January 23 of that year, one day after supporters of abortion around the nation celebrated 43 years of Roe v. Wade and so-called “safe and legal” abortion on demand. But it’s doubtful that eighteen-year old Diamond Williams had the politics of abortion on her mind as she and her mom reported to the Carolina Center for Women, an abortion facility on Wendover Road in Charlotte, North Carolina, for a scheduled six-week surgical abortion. Diamond,...

Within hours of Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy’s retirement announcement last month, Emily Hauser was standing at a drugstore counter asking a pharmacist for two packages of Plan B. At age 53, she didn’t need the emergency contraception pills — in fact, she wasn’t sure who would, or when. But Hauser bought them anyway. A mother of two, she’s worried her teenagers won’t be able to access Plan B if Roe v. Wade, the decision that protects a woman’s right to abortion, gets overturned after Kennedy leaves the Supreme Court. It’s a big fear for Hauser, though she feels a...

Hungary’s pro-family culture has resulted in a rising fertility rate for married women which is “winding back the clock” on demographic decline — a trend once deemed irreversible in Europe and used by globalists to justify mass migration from the third world. “The country is not just experiencing a fertility spike; Hungary is winding back the clock on much of the fertility and family-structure transition that demographers have long considered inevitable,” writes the author of “Is Hungary Experiencing a Policy-Induced Baby Boom?” from the Institute for Family Studies website. “That’s unusual,” author Lyman Stone wrote, “as most countries around the...
