    A former Gig Harbor nurse practitioner has pleaded guilty to sneaking pills into his girlfriend last year in an attempt to cause her to miscarry and to trying to silence her from speaking to authorities. David Benjamin Coots, 43, pleaded guilty to second-degree assault, tampering with a witness and fourth-degree assault. He wore a blue dress shirt with a tie as Superior Court Judge Pro Tempore James Orlando sentenced him to one year and a day in prison, which the defense and prosecutors agreed to recommend. He also was ordered to have no contact with the victim for 10 years....

    An evangelical global pro-life organization has urged Christians, especially Catholics, to work together across denominations to further the pro-life movement and more effectively protect unborn lives from abortion. PassionLife remarked in a July 9 news release that denominations’ “respective theological differences” should not hamper their “joint effort and impact.” Instead, Christians, regardless of their beliefs, should work together as “collaborating co-belligerents,” the organization said. PassionLife works around the globe as a mission partner for local churches and organizations, especially those in areas where abortion rates are extremely high. The organization offers training in Christian pro-life teaching, evangelization, and pro-life counseling...
  • Missouri Secretary of State: Voters are owed ‘common-sense approach to protecting life’ after misleading abortion amendment

    In the wake of a radical abortion amendment to the Missouri state constitution that passed with vague and emotional messaging, Secretary of State Denny Hoskins is advocating for a new amendment that would “correct course” and improve pro-life protections. Many who voted “yes” on the pro-abortion Amendment 3 in 2024 “believed they were supporting limited access to abortion in rare or tragic cases,” Hoskins wrote in a July 10 op-ed for the Missouri Times. “Instead, they enacted one of the most extreme and ambiguous abortion policies in the nation, written directly into our state’s most foundational and sacrosanct legal document.”...
  • Reports: Misoprostol-only abortions poised as backup regime if mifepristone is restricted

    according to a July 7 article in Ms. Magazine. Although the single-drug abortion regime is touted about as “safe and effective” as the two-drug regime, evidence indicates misoprostol-only abortions have “much higher failure rates and complications for women,” the Charlotte Lozier Institute reports. The potential shift in pro-abortion advocates’ approach would introduce a complex new battleground territory for the pro-life movement. Misoprostol is generally less expensive than mifepristone and does not require a prescription, although its legal usage for abortion varies depending on state law. “Notably, none of the media sources promoting misoprostol abortion seem willing to give or direct...

    A federal court has upheld West Virginia’s abortion, ruling the state can continue protecting babies. On Tuesday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit rejected a bid by GenBioPro—the generic manufacturer of the abortion drug—to federalize the regulation of prescription drugs, including the abortion drug mifepristone. Then-West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, now governor, assisted by Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys, asked a federal district court in February 2023 to uphold the state’s Unborn Child Protection Act against a preemption challenge. In August 2023, the court partially dismissed the lawsuit challenging the law, and GenBioPro appealed the case to...

    A Massachusetts district judge extended a temporary restraining order Friday blocking the enforcement of a new provision that would cut Medicaid funding to certain Planned Parenthood health centers. Obama-appointed federal Judge Indira Talwani ruled that a provision of the Reconciliation Act, which would prevent Medicaid reimbursements to organizations providing abortions and meeting certain financial criteria, including receiving over $800,000 in Medicaid reimbursements in 2023, could not be enforced. The ruling specifically impacts the Planned Parenthood Federation of America and its affiliates, including the Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts and Planned Parenthood Association of Utah. “Defendants, their agents, employees, appointees, successors,...

    The landmark Supreme Court decision in U.S. v. Skrmetti not only allowed states to protect children from predatory “transgender” medical interventions, but also stands as a massive rebuke of the medical “expert” class that kept insisting that mutilating children was good for them.As Justice Clarence Thomas said in a concurring opinion, “There are several problems with appealing and deferring to the authority of the expert class,” including that they absurdly claim that young children are capable of informed consent and that the alleged “evidence” for the “transition” interventions was “questionable” at best and the expert class “allowed ideology to influence...

    Not The Bee ^ | July 08, 2025 | Dr. Jones
    Well, it certainly hasn't taken long for leftist judges to ignore the stern scolding from the United States Supreme Court and get back to the important business of standing in the way of everything President Donald Trump does, as a federal judge just blocked the defunding of Planned Parenthood in the "Big, Beautiful Bill." It was less than two weeks ago that SCOTUS handed down a ruling that said federal judges handing down nationwide injunctions "likely" constituted an overreach of their authority. That apparently didn't matter to a district court judge in Massachusetts, who, as reported by Just the News,...

    From Caleb Lines’ latest sermon: Mary gets to choose and Mary chooses to carry the Messiah. Mary says, let it be in the story, which means that Mary is afforded a choice that so many people in our society today are no longer afforded. The biblical call is to increased compassion, and yet people often abuse and misuse the Bible, take it out of context, to bend it to mean what they want it to mean. And I don’t think that is a fair use of the Bible. With the overturn of Roe v. Wade two and a half years...

    NEW YORK, July 4 (C-Fam) UN human rights officials took over the 59th session of the UN Human Rights Council to promote divisive social policies, including advocating for “gender-affirming care” services for migrants and criticizing countries that do not support pride marches, LGBT-friendly curricula in schools, and the killing of the unborn. Held from June 28 to July 9th in Geneva, Switzerland, this year’s UN Human Rights Council session convened member states, UN agencies, and accredited civil society organizations to engage with UN special rapporteurs’ latest reports.

    A Missouri judge ruled Thursday that the state cannot enforce several laws regarding abortion — including a law restricting most abortions, a 72-hour waiting period, and a law requiring abortion facilities to meet special licensing requirements. With the ruling, abortions — which had largely been paused — are set to resume in the state. The state Supreme Court had lifted the judge’s previous injunction. Key Takeaways: * Circuit Court Judge Jerri Zhang’s ruling blocked state enforcement of a waiting period law and laws meant to ensure that abortion facilities meet specific licensing requirements. * Her ruling re-imposes a preliminary injunction...

    The abortion pill is the only life-ending drug that does not require consultation or any assurance of accurate identifying information. In fact, for a drug that is intended to end a pregnancy, distributors do not even have to confirm pregnancy at all. Anyone not looking through the rose-colored glasses handed out by the abortion lobby can see this lack of regulation for what it clearly is: a recipe for rampant abuse. Several women have already come forward, sharing how their partner ordered the pill and drugged them, forcing abortions. Victims of sex trafficking have also come forward, recounting how they...

    FIRST ON FOX: As Planned Parenthood sues the Trump administration for provisions of the "big, beautiful bill" defunding abortion providers, pro-life medical groups are urging Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to reexamine the FDA’s broad approval of abortion drugs. In a letter obtained by Fox News Digital, six anti-abortion medical organizations, representing approximately 30,000 medical professionals, urge Kennedy and FDA Commissioner Martin Makary to reinstate safety guards on the abortion pill mifepristone that have been removed since it was first approved in 2000. According to the Guttmacher Institute, medication abortion accounts for 63% of all U.S....

    A paramedic who secretly gave a pregnant woman an abortion drug, killing their unborn child, has been jailed for 10 years and six months. Stephen Doohan, who was a clinical team leader with the Scottish Ambulance Service (SAS), administered the drug after he found out the woman was pregnant with his baby. The woman, who did not know Doohan was married when they were in a relationship, suffered a miscarriage after the 33-year-old crushed pills into a syringe and injected her as she lay in bed at his Edinburgh home in 2023. Doohan pleaded guilty to assault, sexual assault and...

    The Washington Stand ^ | July 5, 2025 | Ellie Gardey Holmes
    Abortion advocates must feel latent embarrassment over how abortion has resulted in a smaller minority population in the United States because of the disproportionate killing of unborn African American and Hispanic children. Such shame can be clearly seen in a book set to be released next month by a radically pro-abortionist professor at the University of Kentucky, Carol Mason. In her book, Mason spins up a fever dream that can only be interpreted as pure projection: She claims that the pro-life movement is fueled by racism and white supremacy. The pro-life movement, Mason posits in her book, is tied to...

    Surgeon faces murder charge as abortion remains in legal gray area A doctor has been arrested and charged with murder after the termination of a pregnancy at nine months last year, underscoring persistent legal uncertainties as lawmakers continue to struggle with abortion regulation. Judge Park Jeong-ho at the Seoul Central District Court issued arrest warrants on Saturday for the surgeon, identified only by his last name Shim, and the clinic’s head, surnamed Yoon, over their alleged roles in the death of a baby believed to have been born alive and then left to die through willful neglect. This arrest follows...

    A federal judge in Boston on Monday blocked the portion of the One Big Beautiful Bill that President Trump signs that defunds Planned Parenthood. U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani, an Obama appointee, issued the temporary nationwide restraining order days after the Supreme Court issued a ruling putting limits on the nationwide injunctions that rouge liberal judges can issue. “The true design of the Defund Provision is simply to express disapproval of, attack, and punish Planned Parenthood, which plays a particularly prominent role in the public debate over abortion,” Planned Parenthood argued in its lawsuit against the defunding measure. A leading...

    Recent information from July 7, 2025, indicates that Planned Parenthood has sued the current Trump administration over a new law in the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" that would strip Medicaid funding from its health centers. Planned Parenthood argues this provision is unconstitutional and specifically targets them to punish them for their association with abortion services, even though federal law prohibits using these funds for abortion procedures. Planned Parenthood has stated that this measure could lead to the closure of nearly 200 clinics nationwide. An Obama-appointed judge, Judge Indira Talwani, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts...

    An anti-abortion Rally for Life is taking place in Dublin city center today, calling for the Government to establish an “urgent task force” on what organizers call “spiraling abortion rates”. Around 2,000 people attended the event, which began at 1:30 pm at Parnell Square. The demonstration traveled down O’Connell Street and is to conclude with speeches at Custom House Quay. The rally, according to organizers, is hoped to “kickstart a national campaign” to bring about reform to abortion laws, which were changed in 2019 after a 2018 referendum was passed by 66.4% to 33.6%. …
