Washington, D.C. – Live Action, one of the nation’s leading human rights organizations, and Thomas More Society released a statement in response to a cease-and-desist letter sent from pro-abortion legal group Amplify Legal, which is affiliated with parent organization Abortion in America, which is a project of George Soros’ Hopewell Fund.
The letter, which was posted online, argued that Live Action News published “false and defamatory” articles about 13 clients, all individuals who chose to publicly share their abortion stories. It demands that Live Action remove all related published material and immediately retract statements where abortion is described as “killing” preborn children.
Live Action’s full response, issued through Thomas More Society, includes the following excerpt:
“Live Action will not cease reporting on abortion. It will not desist from expressing the view—shared by tens of millions of Americans and by the pro-life movement your clients have made careers of publicly opposing—that abortion takes the life of a living human being and is accurately described as “killing.” Live Action will not delete its archive, will not retract protected opinion, and will not submit its future coverage of public figures, public lawsuits, public convention speeches, and public political campaigns to your pre-clearance.”
Live Action Founder and President Lila Rose released the following statement on the letter:
“Abortion is an act of killing. It deliberately ends the life of a living human child. That is the truth abortion activists want to forbid anyone from saying out loud. They want abortion placed beyond moral judgment, even when the child targeted is disabled or has received a difficult diagnosis. They know that controlling the language is essential to making abortion easier to accept, because people intuitively understand that abortion kills a child and that every baby deserves a chance at life. Those children are human beings. Their lives have dignity, and they have a right to live. Americans have every right to say that openly and forcefully, without fear of being dragged into court for refusing to adopt the deceptive language preferred by abortion activists.
Live Action exists to fight for the right of every child to live, born and preborn. Our journalism gives a voice to children in the womb who cannot speak for themselves and reports the truth about abortion and the abortion industry. We will not be pressured into using language that hides what abortion does or makes the killing of a preborn child easier to accept. We are fighting for a culture and legal system that respects every human life and refuses to treat the sick, disabled, or unborn as disposable. Legal threats against our First Amendment right to speak will not change that mission. Threats will not stop us from calling abortion what it is or from fighting for the right of every child to live. We will keep fighting, and we will win.”
Thomas More Society’s EVP and Head of Litigation, Peter Breen said:
“Amplify Legal’s ‘demand letter’ is a meritless threat aimed at silencing Live Action’s pro-life speech, not winning a lawsuit. The abortion advocacy group behind this letter could not cite a single case supporting its brazen attempt to prevent pro-life advocates from calling abortion what it is—‘killing’—and even the US Supreme Court has used the term in the context of abortion. We’re proud to defend Live Action’s reporting and its right to speak freely and clearly on the most contentious social issue of our time.” Author

So what are they doing to the "clump of cells"?
If it weren’t killing something, it wouldn’t be abortion and the left wouldn’t be fighting for it.
Live Action should send a cease and desist order to Amplify Legal demanding they stop using Reproductive Rights where no reproduction is expected to occur and Women’s Healthcare where one of the patients is required to die.

ABORTION IS MURDER
I ❤️ those pics, keep them coming.
“Hope Well” and should be renamed to Hope HELL!
Abortion is killing. By definition
My leftist associates enjoy telling me what words to use
That’s fascist. They’ll never admit it.
Joe Rogan was on about Ilan Omar. He said she sounds fascist. Rogan said most people think fascists are from the right wing. Then he said ‘it’s not only that. It’s the left too”
No, Rogan. Fascism is not from conservatives. It is a leftist ideology
That kind of sneak propaganda doesn’t get by me. It seeps into young people. It’s a non proven premise.
The only people who sympathize with the women who are chronically tormented and depressed by their decision to kill their pre born children are the pro-life people. The pro abortion activists laugh at them.
“Hope Well” and should be renamed to Hope HELL!
In very successful abortion there is a least one death.
They can’t call a baby a baby. They can’t call killing killing. What did you expect from people who can’t even say what a “woman” is?
“When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.”
“The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.”
“The question is,” said Humpty Dumpty, “which is to be master — that’s all.”
― Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking Glass
A young woman said to us she was pregnant, boyfriend. She said I can’t have a baby now. I said, you’ve got one. She had the abortion. Her family, blue bloods, old money, MDs, supported it too
Yes her choice was prior to the pregnancy. Maybe the widespread denial of that logical fact is a part of the widespread stupidity.
She married the guy. Divorced. Now she’s waiting tables at 65+.
It’s bloody murder blokes
Do morticians call it death, death? No, it’s “rest.”
Does the mafia call killing, killing? I bet not! Of course abortionists and their advocates don’t want to get literal. It’s indelicate. (Translation: it’s bad for business!)
OK, killing’s out. Call it MURDERING.
