In a previous report, Live Action News documented a clinical trial which is recruiting children and adult women for late-term abortions from 13-22 weeks in the West African nation of Burkina Faso. Now, the abortion industry is targeting Latin American women in Colombia for a clinical trial dispensing the abortion pill from 13 to 18 weeks gestation. Both trials are sponsored by Gynuity Health Projects, which has been working to expand abortion. Currently, the abortion pill is only approved for abortion up to 10 weeks of pregnancy. The Colombia study, which has not yet begun to recruit, seeks to “evaluate...

Legislation announced on Thursday aimed at curbing the spread of online child sexual abuse imagery would take the extraordinary step of removing legal protections for tech companies that fail to police the illegal content. A separate, international initiative that was also announced takes a softer approach, getting the industry to voluntarily embrace standards for combating the material. The two measures come as tech companies continue to detect an explosion of abusive content on their platforms, and amid complaints that neither Congress nor the companies have been aggressive enough in stopping its spread. An investigation last year by The New York...

By any stretch of the imagination, the FOX news town hall for President Trump was a stunning success. That this comes as some sort of surprise to some is the question. Only those who have remained deliberately unaware could have been surprised. The 45th president was in his fine form for his roughly 58 minutes or so on screen. Those who thought that the team of Brett Baier and Martha MacCallum would somehow 'take the president down' were sadly mistaken. Indeed, some out there thought Martha might have a Meghan Kelly moment. First of all, that moment may have helped...

EAST SUSSEX, England, March 3, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – A biological male in the United Kingdom pleaded guilty to assault after an attempted robbery last month, but he will not spend time in prison because a judge couldn’t determine whether to send the “transgender woman” to a male or female facility. Leila Le Fey, (also known as Layla Le Fey, Adam Hodgson, and Marcus Smith) pleaded guilty after threatening a man with a claw hammer in the course of attempting to steal wine from a Budgens store, the Daily Mail reported. It was only the latest of more than 50 offenses...

Service is intended to send strong message to once-a-decade Lambeth conferenceLGBT+ campaigners will hold a church service led by two high-profile married lesbian priests on the eve of the Lambeth conference, a once-a-decade assembly of Anglican bishops from around the world that is expected to be dominated by conflicts over sexuality and marriage. The move is likely to rile conservative bishops who maintain that homosexuality is a sin. An “inclusive” eucharist at a church in Canterbury will be presided over by the Rt Rev Mary Glasspool, the assistant bishop in New York. The preacher will be the Rev Canon Mpho...

The loan from the Vatican comes to honor the 850th anniversary of his martyrdom.Canterbury Cathedral is preparing to celebrate the 850th anniversary of the martyrdom of St. Thomas Becket, one of England’s most revered medieval saints.

The Guardian reports that the garment is a religious vestment known as a tunicle, an article of clothing similar in style to a dalmatic, which was...

China has condemned a Fox News presenter's 'arrogance', 'prejudice' and 'ignorance' after he said Beijing should apologise over the coronavirus outbreak, which has killed more than 3,300 people worldwide. Jesse Watters, who hosted an American talk show, made the comments half-jokingly as he said 'I'd like to just ask the Chinese for a formal apology'. He continued: 'This coronavirus originated in China, and I have not heard one word from the Chinese. A simple "I'm sorry" would do. It would go a long way.'

This story is developing The Department of Justice was ordered Thursday by Judge Reggie B. Walton to turn over a copy of the unredacted former Special Counsel Robert Mueller report. The judge accused Attorney General William Barr of misrepresenting the findings of the report before it was submitted last year to Congress. Walton, a federal district court judge in Washington D.C. who was appointed by President George W. Bush, questioned Barr’s public comments and ‘credibility’ about the report before Mueller released his findings. “The inconsistencies between Attorney General Barr’s statements, made at a time when the public did not have...

It’s always important to keep things in proper perspective. That is particularly important as the nation grapples with the fallout from the novel coronavirus, which has infected 100 Americans and killed six people. Sadly, more people died last night from the tornadoes that ripped through Tennessee. But just so you know, the yearly flu has already infected at least 32 million Americans, caused 310,000 hospitalizations and 18,000 deaths. The left’s delusional reaction to the coronavirus is more of a public threat than the virus itself. Seriously, friends, let’s just look at how the left has responded to this crisis.

The United States Catholic Conference of Bishops on Wednesday urged "people of faith" to pray that the Supreme Court upholds a Louisiana law regulating abortion. "The Catholic Church encourages all people of faith to pray about the outcome to this very important case," USCCB Secretariat of Pro-Life Activities Kat Talalas wrote in a statement. "We also ask all to pray for the women who are compelled to seek abortion: that they may find alternatives that value their health and well-being, and the lives of their precious children." The case, June Medical Services v. Russo was argued before the court Wednesday...

Ventilators in short supply. Intensive care beds already overflowing. Some health workers buying their own face masks or hoods. And if cases of the deadly coronavirus surge in anything like the numbers some experts have predicted, doctors say they would have to consider denying lifesaving care to the frailest patients to prioritize those with better chances of surviving. “If we haven’t got ventilatory support to offer them, it’s going to end in death,” said Dr. George Priestley, an intensive care doctor and anesthesiologist in Yorkshire in northern England. “I don’t want to be alarmist. I just want someone to pay...
