The video, captured at the Downtown (Near North) Chicago Planned Parenthood, Elizabeth Cohn Morris Clinic shows the young woman collapsed in the doorway, pleading for help after undergoing an abortion. The footage released by Coalition Life, a pro-life sidewalk counseling organization, shows a counselor helping the woman and directing emergency responders to her when they arrive on the scene.

The simple effort of religious sisters sending postcards and Christmas cards can be a lifeline to workers feeling trapped and searching for a way out of the abortion industry. A beautiful, behind-the-scenes project has been taking place during the Christmas season for the past five years. Religious sisters from convents across the country have been sending Christmas cards to abortion centers, letting the staff there know they are prayed for, and that help is available if they’re interested in finding other work. Sr. Christina Nazareth, a Capuchin Sister who lives in a Williamsport, Pennsylvania convent, received a letter from And...

Hundreds of pro-life students from Christendom College prayed outside a Virginia abortion facility as part of the annual “Mega Shield” event. Students from the Front Royal Catholic college traveled an hour and a half to Falls Church, Virginia for the November 15 event. Students in the Shield of Roses Club regularly pray outside the abortion facility on other days as well. The group said more than two hundred students attended – the school’s total enrollment is just around 550. The event is part of the students’ “identity” as Catholics, the club’s president told The College Fix. “Mega Shield is an...

A former abortion clinic worker in the state of Arizona has revealed alarming practices that, according to her, reflect severe ethical and legal negligence within the abortion industry. The former employee reported that medical instruments that were already worn out or had damage, such as small broken pieces, were not completely discarded but instead sent to Mexico and other Latin American countries, even at times when abortion was illegal in most of the region. According to her testimony, the clinics where she followed an informal protocol: any instrument that did not meet US safety standards—whether due to wear, cracks, or...

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A downtown Louisville development committee approved a permit application to demolish the former EMW Women's Surgical Center as a 27-story hotel project begins to take shape. The Downtown Development Review Overlay Committee signed off on the demolition at 136, 138 and 140 West Market Street. EMW closed in 2022 after Roe v. Wade was overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court. The $175 million project planned for 2nd and Market streets in downtown Louisville is set to come complete with a grand ballroom, rooftop pool and street-level restaurant. NuLu-based Zyyo confirmed in July its plans to build...

Pro-life advocates are hailing a growing boycott by construction contractors as a moral stand against New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s push for a new taxpayer-funded abortion facility. Local businesses are refusing bids to build what critics call a “megacomplex” for late-term abortions in the state’s northern part, where most people reside. Grisham’s $10 million taxpayer-funded project to kill more babies, slipped into House Bill 450 as part of a $1.2 billion capital outlay package, aims to construct a second Planned Parenthood center in northern New Mexico following a similar allocation last year for a facility in Las Cruces. The...

The internet is full of questionable content – if you spend any time on social media, you probably see things every day that make you shake your head. But every once in a while, a post lands so hard you can’t just scroll past. Take a Milwaukee abortion clinic’s recent Instagram post in which they offer supporters the opportunity (for a mere $10) to suggest a name for their new – wait for it – suction aspiration machine. You read that correctly. They are holding a naming contest for a machine whose sole purpose is to abort children. Let’s unpack...

Today, Planned Parenthood is closing its Houston, Texas abortion facility that was the biggest abortion center in North America. Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast announced in July that it would close two Houston-area abortion centers, including its 78,000-square-foot Prevention Park facility, once the largest abortion center in the Western Hemisphere. That closing will happen today and hundreds, if not thousands, of pro-life Texans will be on hand to celebrate. The Houston Coalition for Life is hosting two special vigils today. “The events will both honor the lives lost to abortion within the building and celebrate the closure of Planned Parenthood’s Prevention...

A Planned Parenthood facility in Delavan, Wisconsin, has permanently closed its doors, marking a significant moment for pro-life advocates in the state. The closure, effective July 31, was confirmed by Pro-Life Wisconsin, a group dedicated to protecting life from conception. Dan Miller, state director of Pro-Life Wisconsin, announced the closure in a blog post, stating, “Planned Parenthood in Delavan is closed! Yes! It is true! Planned Parenthood in Delavan is CLOSED!” Miller noted that Google Maps lists the facility as permanently closed, and during a visit on September 8, he observed signs posted inside the glass door and office window...

During a botched late-term abortion, a baby was born alive at an abortion facility in Florida. The baby’s mother desperately pleaded with abortion workers to summon help to save her child. She even got her friend to call 911. But the workers were determined that the baby should die. In April 2005, “Angele” aborted her 22-week-old preborn baby. She was in her 30s, divorced, with two children. She didn’t feel she could handle a third child. Angele chose a Florida clinic that has since been shut down, called Orlando Women’s Center. It was also referred to as the EPOC Clinic....

In another major pro-life victory, Planned Parenthood said it will shut down its clinics in Louisiana Sept. 30 after losing access to federal funding under President Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill.” While Planned Parenthood is barred from performing abortions in Louisiana, the organization has been a key player in directing patients to receive out-of-state abortions, The Hill reported. Pro-life advocates praised the shutdown as a decisive blow to the abortion industry’s influence in the state. Gov. Jeff Landry, a Republican, said on X that he has “fought hard as Attorney General and now as Governor to rid our state of...

An abortion business in New Hampshire has been accused of attempting to groom and indoctrinate young girls by promoting its business using American Girl Dolls, which have long been marketed to girls 12 and under. While it is unclear if the American Girl company approved the use of its dolls in this manner, its own TikTok account shows it has shifted some of its marketing to young adults — many of whom grew up with the dolls and remain fans. Key Takeaways: * Lovering Health Center, a New Hampshire abortion business, used American Girl Dolls in a recent Facebook post...

Dozens of abortion clinics are shutting down — not just in states with bans, but in places where abortion remains fully legal, AP News reported June 17. Since the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision in 2022, at least 105 clinics have closed nationwide, according to the report. Strikingly, 65 of those closures happened in states without new abortion limits. While pro-abortion activists scramble to adapt, pro-life leaders see the trend as confirmation that the abortion industry is increasingly unsustainable. From waning donations to rising logistical costs, clinics are facing mounting challenges. “We’re all collectively struggling,” Ramsie Monk, who works with clinics...

The Satanic Temple plans to open an abortion center in Maine on June 14, 2025, named “The President’s Yuge Most Beautiful Tremendous Satanic Abortion Clinic” in a mocking nod to President Donald Trump’s birthday. “We hope he receives this clinic’s distinguished title as the magnificent, regal birthday present it is intended to be,” said Satanic Temple executive director Erin Helian in a press release. The facility, part of the temple’s TST Health network, will sell dangerous abortion-inducing drugs by mail and instruct women to perform a “Satanic Abortion Ritual” involving chants that pro-life advocates denounce as evil and morally repugnant....

Zack and Lindsay Knotts have filed a federal lawsuit against the city of Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, following Zack’s arrest during a pro-life demonstration outside the Northeast Ohio Women’s Center on December 28, 2024. The case stems from an incident in which Zack was arrested for using a battery-powered megaphone to share his pro-life message from a public sidewalk. According to the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), which represents him, the megaphone was quieter than surrounding traffic, while abortion clinic escorts allegedly used whistles and kazoos in an attempt to drown out Zack’s megaphone. Despite this, the ACLJ stated,...

Today, Thomas More Society attorneys on behalf of Choose Life Marketing, filed a reply in support of their motion to dismiss in the U.S. District Court for Massachusetts, against a meritless lawsuit brought by abortion provider Four Women Health Services. Four Women Health Services argues the marketing services provided by Choose Life Marketing for Abundant Hope, a pro-life pregnancy center and co-defendant in the case, “mislead” women seeking abortions, simply because Choose Life Marketing employs standard marketing practices to better help Abundant Hope offer alternatives to abortion, such as parenting support, adoption resources, and material assistance. “Massachusetts’ abortion businesses, backed...

A ruling from the state Supreme Court in Missouri is allowing, at least for now, a shutdown of abortion business that do not meet minimum medical facility requirements. "We're going to take a moment to celebrate, because this effectively shuts down abortion clinics in the state of Missouri for the time being," said Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey, during an interview with Tony Perkins on "Washington Watch." The dispute is over the business operations meeting the state requirements for medical facilities. "What the Supreme Court said was that the lower court did not apply the proper standard: The lower court...

Conservative and pro-life groups are again asking the Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate five fetuses found near a Washington, D.C. clinic in 2022 now that President Donald Trump is back in office. Nine organizations sent a letter Tuesday to U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro sounding the alarm about pro-life activists’ discovery of the bodies in containers from the Washington Surgi-Clinic. Some of the babies discovered were so large that they brought suspicion of illegal partial-birth or post-birth abortions, and the Biden administration only prosecuted those who protested at the clinic in 2020. “In 2022, pro-life activists in Washington, D.C.,...

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...

CV NEWS FEED // Prosecutors dropped charges May 9 against an Ohio pro-life advocate who was arrested in December for providing a Christian witness with a megaphone outside an abortion facility. CatholicVote previously reported that Zack Knotts was on a public sidewalk outside a Cuyahoga Falls abortion facility and using a megaphone to advocate for the unborn and to tell women entering the facility, “There’s hope in the Gospel of Jesus Christ for all of you.” Police then approached Knotts and ordered him to go with them, later telling him that they had received complaints of “disorderly conduct” that caused...
