Thanks to medical advancements over the last several decades, preborn babies as young as 21 weeks can now survive outside the womb — and Live Action News has shared many of their amazing stories. Despite this, many neonatal units in the United States aren’t equipped to help families with such micro-preemies, and, what’s worse, many often falsely tell parents that there’s no hope if they do have an infant born so early. A recent article in the Wall Street Journal illustrates two of the potential reasons parents aren’t given the information they need: high costs, and the ‘worry’ that a...

On Sunday, vice presidential nominee and Ohio Senator J.D. Vance (R) joined Margaret Brennan on CBS’s “Face the Nation” for an interview. Predictably, the conversation started with six questions in a row on abortion. While answering those questions, Vance spoke of the contrast between former President Donald Trump’s views on abortion and the view of the Democratic Party. He said, “You have Democrats who have supported abortion right up to the moment of birth — and even beyond the moment — of birth, which is just sick stuff. And I think it’s such a contrast…” Margaret Brennan cut off Vance...

A female Secret Service agent on duty to protect former President Donald Trump at a North Carolina rally Wednesday left her post to breastfeed without permission, RealClearPolitics reported. Soon before Trump's arrival in Asheville, North Carolina, the Secret Service site agent conducted a final sweep of the walking route "and found the agent breast-feeding her child in a room that is supposed to be set aside for important Secret Service official work, i.e. a potential emergency related to the president," the outlet's Susan Crabtree posted Thursday on X. The woman agent, out of the Atlanta Field Office, and two family...

The New York City Department of Health (NYC Health) is solidifying its erroneous stance that preborn babies are not human beings, as it plans to toss a requirement on how their bodies should be handled. According to the New York Post, in a unanimous vote, NYC Health has decided to throw away the requirement that babies aborted at or after 24 weeks (that’s approximately six months of pregnancy) be treated as human beings and sent to funeral homes for a proper burial or cremation. Instead, the abortion facilities can keep the bodies on-premises to do what they please with them....

Documents obtained by CMP show the abortion vendor gave tissue from aborted babies to UC San Diego researchers “in exchange for ownership of the university’s...

Two Alabama moms, Sophie Clark and Nicole Davis, were total strangers when they went in to deliver their babies at Huntsville Hospital on April 10th, but they couldn't pass up the chance to meet after they serendipitously named their babies after the most famous power couple in country music history, Johnny Cash and June Carter. [snip]] The hospital staff then arranged for the moms and babies to meet, and the two families say they plan to stay in touch. [snip] In addition to being named after the country music stars, both of the babies were actually named after their own...

(LifeSiteNews) — On Tuesday, Tennessee Governor Bill Lee signed the ‘Baby Olivia Act’ into law, requiring public schools to show school children a “high-quality, computer-generated animation or high-definition ultrasound” of unborn babies developing in the womb. The law cites Live Action’s computer-animated “Baby Olivia” video depicting fertilization and fetal development from conception as an example of an animation that would meet the law’s requirements, which include the depiction of “the development of the brain, heart, and other vital organs in early fetal development.” Family life curriculum is required by Tennessee law in all counties where the teen birth rate exceeds...

Parents - cherish every day of your infant children

Mass General Brigham announced Tuesday it would no longer report to state welfare agencies when a baby is born with drugs in its system because substance abuse in pregnant mothers “disproportionately affects black people,” Boston.com reports. The change will be rolled out later this month, with Dr. Sarah Wakeman, senior medical director for substance use disorder at Mass General Brigham, arguing the new policy is “based on sound science.”

In an effort to humanize the victims of abortion in the minds of young people, lawmakers in Tennessee, West Virginia, Iowa, and beyond are following in the footsteps of North Dakota with legislation to show high-quality video of unborn babies to children in government schools. Naturally, the abortion lobby is up in arms. Last week, the Tennessee House of Representatives passed the “Baby Olivia Act” requiring public schools to show videos of babies developing in the womb prior to birth. Earlier this month, the West Virginia Senate did as well. And similar legislation has already moved through a key committee...

The Biden administration is preparing to run the 2024 election on abortion. With a miserable economy and failure on every side, that is the one thing still left for the Democrats to run on. But no generation has ever had less use for abortion than this one. After the end of Roe v. Wade, Democrats warned of a decline in abortions, what they failed to mention was that abortions had been declining long before the Supreme Court decision. After Roe v. Wade first came on the scene, abortions shot up all through the 80s and hit a peak in 1990...

Allowing babies to be experimented on with male lactation and putting them at a disadvantage at the beginning of their lives is an injustice.In the name of “equality,” the University of Sussex Hospitals National Health Service (NHS) Trust has stated that pharmacologically induced breast milk produced by men is comparable to milk produced by females. The NHS trust further stated that there are no side effects for infants who are fed through this “breast milk.” However, on top of the hormones taken by males seeking to be “transgender,” these infants are indeed being exposed to side effects through this chemical...

Trillium Health Partners, which operates Credit Valley Hospital where the babies were delivered, shared images of the bundles of joy who were born on the rare date. “Feb. 29, also known as Leap Day, only comes around once every four years, which makes for a very unique birthdate,” the hospital network, which also runs Mississauga Hospital and the Queensway Health Centre, said in a post on social media.

Instances of babies being born with syphilis in Texas are going through the roof, and the antibiotics supply is running low, but fear not, because the mentally ill fat man with a receding hairline and obvious unaddressed inflammation issues who thinks he’s a woman is on the case, offering “expert” health advice. On Thursday, Joe Biden’s Assistant Secretary of Health Richard Levine visited a Dallas-area public hospital and met with administrators Steve Love and Dr. Emily Adhikari to assess the recent explosion in congenital syphilis cases. From a report at The Dallas Morning News:Feds eye Texas as cases of syphilis...

A new study from the National Institutes of Health has found that 10 out of 10 newborn babies greatly prefer female boobs over man boobs. The study, which looked at over 12,000 infants in labor and delivery facilities across the nation, found the results were universal and had no exceptions whatsoever. "In virtually every case, we found that babies much preferred a mother's breastmilk over the artificial drug-induced green fetish fluid squeezed out of the gross male nipple of a trans person," said Dr. Bob Bill, who led the study. "This may indicate a serious transphobia problem in the baby...

Where is the compassion? Where is the outrage? Where is the empathy for five precious children who were brutally slaughtered by abortion? Where is the justice? Why the coverup? Under absolutely no circumstances should the DC Medical Examiner discard the bodies of the five innocent children whose lives were taken in such a barbaric manner. If the DOJ is not going to fulfill its duty to investigate the potential federal crimes committed against these child victims, then Congress should immediately take up its own investigation and demand the preservation of evidence. When they were alive, these babies deserved to be...
