Gov. Joe Lombardo sides with Planned Parenthood and against his own party.CARSON CITY, Nevada (LifeSiteNews) — A self-professed Catholic and “pro-life” Republican governor signed pro-abortion legislation that codified his predecessor’s executive order and received the backing of Planned Parenthood. Governor Joe Lombardo signed legislation on Tuesday that prohibits prosecution of abortionists in the state who break abortion laws in other states. The law essentially makes Nevada a safe haven for abortionists who want to secretly travel to pro-life states and commit abortions, as long as those are protected under Nevada law. Democratic Governor Steve Sisolak, whom Lombardo defeated in 2022,...

On Sunday, GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley declared that protecting the integrity of women’s sports is the women’s issue of our time. On Monday’s edition of The 11th Hour on MSNBC, host Stephanie Ruhle welcomed two men to proclaim that Haley “should be ashamed of herself” and that the real women’s issue of our time is abortion. Haley also declared that there was a connection between high suicide rates among teenage girls and the movement to allow males to compete against them. After some discussion on how the data does not support that thesis, the conversation moved to the issue...

A 25-year-old woman and her husband received criticism for refusing to abort their son because he does not have arms. She said she loves her son just as he is — “perfect.” According to The Mirror, Mariaan Strauss and her husband Hendrick, from South Africa, explained that they learned during an ultrasound at 13 weeks that their son did not have arms. The doctor advised the parents to abort him. And while the thought of raising a child with different abilities seemed daunting to the couple, they did not want to end his life. Called “selfish” for that decision, the...

Abortion activist and doctor Caitlyn Bernard has been reprimanded by fine and letter by Indiana’s Medical Licensing Board for violating HIPAA by discussing a 10-year-old patient who was sent to her from Ohio for an abortion last July. The story that Bernard shared while at an abortion march with an Indianapolis Star reporter was repeated around the world. The subsequent fallout from Bernard’s loose lips was a media frenzy to identify the child and make sure the rapist was punished. The child’s family was identified shortly after and found to be living with the illegal alien rapist, Gerson Fuentes.MedPage Today...

In the last few weeks, an abortionist has been seen bringing her infant to work at Toledo Women’s Center in Toledo, Ohio. Yes, an abortionist brings her baby to the same place where she destroys other women’s babies. This is quite a stark contrast to other abortion clinics like Planned Parenthood which, as a general rule, don’t even allow children in their waiting rooms. And, why would they? It’s hard to convince a pregnant mother the child in her womb is a non-person if she’s staring at a toddler the whole time she’s in the waiting area. The presence of...

By most standards, 19-year-old Cindy Collins was a naïve college student when she faced an unplanned pregnancy. It was 1973 and she was unaware of anything outside her immediate sphere of daily living. She didn’t know much about the women’s movement or the effort to legalize abortion nationwide through legislation. “All I knew at the time was that I was confused and afraid,” Collins told Live Action News. “Here I was in a relationship with my first boyfriend and just a freshman in college. My roommate suggested I go to Planned Parenthood and they would help me.” A survivor of...

Being a conservative on today’s public college campuses isn’t for the faint of heart. The students who survive the machete-wielding feminists and the professors encouraging the killing of “transphobe[es]” still have to sit through endless hours of leftist indoctrination. And in some cases, pay extra for it! At Michigan State University, it wasn’t enough that conservatives had to listen to their marketing professor’s abortion extremism — they were forced to finance it. In a story that one attorney calls one of the worst instances of classroom abuse he’s seen, a member of the marketing faculty, Amy Wisner, was charging students...

A Nebraska pro-life group has revoked its endorsement of a Republican senator who was responsible for killing the heartbeat law that would have saved thousands of babies from abortions. As LifeNews reported, Nebraska State Senator Merv Riepe has no apologies for killing the pro-life bill even after he co-sponsored it and appeared at a pro-life rally to supoort it. “I don’t answer to them,” Riepe said of the pro-life Republicans throughout the Cornhusker state who are upset he co-sponsored the ban and then sold out women and unborn children by abstaining from voting for it. But pro-life voters care about...

Nevada's Joe Lombardo on Tuesday became one of the first Republican governors to enshrine protections for out-of-state abortion patients and in-state providers, adding the western swing state to the list of those passing new laws to solidify their status as safe havens for people seeking abortions. The legislation codifies an existing executive order from former Gov. Steve Sisolak last year — who lost reelection to Lombardo — that bars state agencies from assisting in out-of-state investigations that could lead to the prosecution of abortion patients who travel to Nevada. It also ensures medical boards and commissions that oversee medical licenses...

Washington D.C., May 30, 2023 / 15:50 pm Baltimore police are searching for a man who is accused of attacking and beating two elderly pro-life activists who were praying outside of a Baltimore Planned Parenthood abortion clinic on May 26. According to witnesses cited in the police report, the unidentified suspect attacked a 73-year-old man and an 80-year-old man after engaging in a "debate" with one of the pro-life activists about abortion. The report, citing video surveillance of the alleged assault, states that the suspect was talking to the 80-year-old man, turned away from him and then turned back and...

A controversial abortionist who spent years killing babies and has been accused of using his own sperm to inseminate women has died in a plane crash. Morris Wortman was a prominent abortionist in the Rochester, New York area for a couple decades in the 80s and 90s. He killed countless babies during that time and feuded with pro-life advocates on a national level. More recently, according to local news reports, “Wortman has been accused by number of people of using his own sperm to inseminate women who came to him in the 1980s for fertility treatment — a practice often...

Stop by your local post office and you might just see a poster of Rodrigo “Timochenko” Londono hanging next to the Most Wanted posters of bank robbers and fugitives. The State Department is offering a $5 million reward for information about the Communist terrorist leader. But all the State Department had to do was ask Secretary of State Kerry. Obama did the wave with the Cuban dictator and Kerry met with Timochenko , the leader of FARC, a Marxist terrorist organization that appears on his own department’s list of foreign terrorist organizations a little above Al Qaeda. Timochenko is a...

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — More than 70 California law enforcement agencies are violating state law by sharing automated license plate reader (ALPR) data with out-of-state agencies, putting out-of-state abortion seekers at risk, according to a trio of civil rights groups. The Electronic Frontier Foundation and the American Civil Liberties Union chapters for both Northern and Southern California sent letters to 71 agencies — including the Folsom Police Department — giving them a June 15 deadline to stop sharing license plate data with states that criminalize abortion. On Friday, the Twitter account for Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office, which was not listed in...

Oregon Senate Republicans began a walkout on May 3, ultimately stalling floor sessions in response to far-left legislation that would allow minors to have abortions and access transgender drugs and procedures without parental consent in the state. Republican Senate Minority Leader Tim Knopp said in an update this week that boycotters will not return until the session’s last day, “when they intended to pass ‘bipartisan’ budgets and bills,” on June 25, the Seattle Times reported.

Abortion activists have moved into the realm of trying to make killing unborn babies seem funny. Some are blatant about it, such as Princeton University senior Jenni Lawson. She named her musical comedy, “To All the Babies I’ve Killed Before: A Love/Hate Letter to Storytelling,” according to Campus Reform. The student performance took place April 21 and 22 on campus. The play “investigate[s] the challenges of being heard and cultivating self-empowerment as a queer, cognitively-disabled (ADHD) woman in artistic spaces that traditionally center archaic, western, patriarchal narratives grounded in firm structures of storytelling and comedy,” the program states. But throughout...

As part of its month-long focus on adolescent health, the Biden administration is promoting a document that tells Planned Parenthood and other taxpayer-funded family planning offices how to talk to minors about sex without their parents overhearing, and how to secretly deliver birth control to adolescents without parental knowledge or consent. Federally-funded guidelines instruct adults to pause before discussing sex with minors and to ask, “Are you alone in the room?” These instructions specify tactics to follow “if you’re really having a hard time getting a parent” to leave the room during the sex talk. They suggest children as young...
