  • The Church must stop chasing Planned Parenthood

    Christian Post ^ | May 20, 2025 | Peter Demos
    The pro-life movement is losing the long game. Not because our arguments lack truth or our data lacks integrity, but because we are fighting on the wrong battlefield. For decades, we have reacted to Planned Parenthood’s every move, attacking abortion procedure by procedure, law by law and statistic by statistic. And yet, abortion remains embedded in our culture, now more accessible than ever through telehealth, mail-order pills and blue-state shield laws. The question must be asked: have Christians conceded the moral high ground? Planned Parenthood understands something the Church has forgotten — the real battle is cultural. It is spiritual....

    I work at a supermarket part-time over the weekend for supplemental income.Last weekend, I assisted a customer who was at least 75 years old.I could not help but notice the shirt she was wearing:Of course, being the vile, fascist, misogynistic non-leftist that the media portrays me to be, I was cordial and polite to her, as I am to all customers in my store. And to be fair, she was cordial to me - but no doubt she would stuff a tampon in my mouth if she knew how I vote...I can't help but shake my head and laugh about...

    The Times of India is reporting that a 13-year-old rape victim, granted permission to abort her 33 week old baby, gave birth Saturday night to a girl. “The hospital staff are monitoring both the young mother and the newborn, who will remain under observation for a week,” B Division police station’s police inspector Sudhir Rane told The Times of India. As of the time this story is being written, there is no further information how healthy the baby and her mother are. On May 6th, a special POCSO [Protection of Children from Sexual Offences] court rejected her application to abort...

    Apparently, a high volume abortion facility in Illinois has a big, dirty problem. This same abortion business is well known for a high number of abortion-related medical emergencies that have sent at least four women to the hospital in March and April alone. But the Hope Clinic’s latest woes may be part of a nationwide pattern of grisly consequences when conducting the high-volume extermination of unborn children. Pro-life activists reported interacting with a representative from Embrich Plumbing outside the Hope Clinic for Women in Granite City, Illinois, on the morning of May 3, 2025. The plumber opened a nearby manhole...

    A 74-year-old grandmother who was arrested for holding a sign outside an abortion clinic in Glasgow, Scotland, does not regret her actions and warns about the assault on free speech. Rose Docherty was the first to be charged under the Abortion Services (Safe Access Zones) Act, which bars people from protesting or holding vigils within 656 feet of 30 facilities that offer abortion services, Fox News reported on Saturday. The outlet noted the law says the zone could be extended if lawmakers deem the action appropriate. She spoke to BBC Scotland’s Scotcast this week. Docherty is pushing back against officials’...

    A Michigan judge struck down several abortion-related laws last week, including a 24-hour waiting period, mandatory informed consent requirements, and a law prohibiting non-physicians from committing abortions. Judge Sima Patel ruled that all three laws are now unconstitutional given the state’s adoption of an amendment that declared abortion to be a constitutional “right.” Following the amendment’s passage, Northland Family Planning Centers and a group called Medical Students for Choice filed a lawsuit calling for the overturning of the laws. In 2024, Patel placed a preliminary injunction on each of the laws. At that time, she said a 24-hour waiting period...

    Despite common claims that later abortions are a work of fiction, “clinical recommendations” published by a pro-abortion group are encouraging the use of the abortion pill for third-trimester abortions up to nearly 28 weeks gestation. These recommendations follow other studies which suggest the drug regimen was being tested well into the second trimester of pregnancy. Live Action News has previously covered horrific incidents of the abortion pill ending the lives of babies well into the 30th week of pregnancy. “Treatment Choice”? The authors of the “Society of Family Planning Clinical Recommendation: Medication abortion between 14 0/7 and 27 6/7 weeks...

    The Florida Fifth District Court of Appeal ruled Wednesday that a state law allowing minors to get abortions without parental consent is unconstitutional. The three-judge panel said that a Florida judicial-waiver law violates parents’ Fourteenth Amendment rights to due process. The ruling was the result of a situation in which a 17-year-old girl sought to undergo an abortion without her parents’ consent. In its decision, the court cited the U.S. Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade as well as the Florida Supreme Court’s 2024 ruling that a privacy clause in the Florida Constitution does not guarantee a right to...

    Talk to the average critic of the evangelical church—perhaps someone who has “deconstructed” and now resents their religious upbringing—and one of the first complaints they have is that Christians are too political. Especially since 2016, it has become common to smear conservative Christians for being more interested in “making America great again” than in making disciples. This perception of evangelicals (that their churches are too political) is so strong that sociologist Christian Smith cited it in his recent book, Why Religion Went Obsolete as one of the main reasons for the long-term decline in church attendance. Here’s the irony: Evangelical...

    [AG] Merrick B. Garland is the public face of the government’s unprecedented effort to identify, arrest, and prosecute those connected to the Jan. 6, 2021 protest at the Capitol. But the person handling the day-to-day management of the one of the largest and most politically freighted efforts in the history of American law enforcement has largely flown under the radar: Matthew Graves, the U.S. attorney for [DC]. [snip] The political nature of the [Jan6] prosecutions is illustrated by the long partisan history of Graves and his wife, Fatima Goss Graves. According to documents on file with the U.S. Senate, Matthew...

    Adriana Smith was 9 weeks pregnant when she sought medical treatment for severe headaches. Medical providers gave her medication but didn’t realize Smith had multiple blood clots in her brain until it was too late. Smith was declared brain dead about 3 months ago. A Georgia hospital has been keeping her on life support since, and her son is now about 21 weeks. Doctors are hoping to get him to 32 weeks. These situations are rare, but not entirely unprecedented. One systematic review found that, in 35 cases of maternal brain death, 77% of neonates were born alive and 85%...

    Louisiana’s attorney general is investigating a second case involving New York doctor Margaret Carpenter after she allegedly prescribed and mailed abortion medication to another woman in the state, this time located in the city of Shreveport. The Shreveport woman was 20 weeks pregnant when she took the abortion medication and subsequently went into labor, Attorney General Liz Murrill said during a testimony for an anti-abortion bill in the state’s House Civil Law and Procedure Committee on Monday. “She and her boyfriend, after she gave birth, took the baby, wrapped it in a towel, and threw it in a garbage can,”...

    José Mujica, a member of a Marxist rebel group that terrorized Uruguay in the 1960s and 1970s who later became a mainstream politician and one of his country’s most venerated presidents, died May 13 at his home in Rincón de Cerro, in the rural outskirts of Montevideo. He was 89. Uruguayan President Yamandú Orsi, a protégé of the former leader, announced the death. Mr. Mujica said in April 2024 that he had been diagnosed with esophageal cancer and that any treatment with chemotherapy and surgery would be complicated by an autoimmune disease he also had. Mr. Mujica, widely known as...

    Planned Parenthood’s most recent annual report, which revealed a record-breaking 400k abortions for 2023-24, also shows a significant increase in spending on programs related to sex education. According to Planned Parenthood’s 2023-24 annual report, spending on sex education programs was up more than 10% (approximately $6 million) from the prior year’s reporting, with yearly increases since 2021-22. This equates to almost $60 million spent for the year and raises Planned Parenthood’s spending on sex education by $166 million since 2021-22.

    Alaska’s indigenous women and their unborn babies are increasingly vulnerable to abortion, according to the latest comprehensive data from the state. For decades, the abortion industry and its allies have worked to make the killing of pre-born babies more palatable among Alaska Native communities. Well-funded leftist groups like Planned Parenthood, Native Movement and others now employ activist tactics and community organizing to increase abortion accessibility and change cultural perceptions, especially among the youth. Last year, a total of 1,224 unborn babies were killed in Alaska through abortion, up slightly from 1,222 the year before. While the annual total has remained...

    CV NEWS FEED // Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. said Wednesday that he has ordered a top-down review of the abortion drug mifepristone in light of “alarming” research showing the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved pill does far more harm to women than previously reported. The latest research is “alarming,” Kennedy said during a hearing before the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee. “And clearly it indicates at the very least the [FDA] label should be changed.” “I’ve asked Marty Makary, who’s the director of the FDA, to do a complete review and to report...
