FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Washington D.C. – Just months after securing an $18 million judgment against Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue, news broke that Cecile Richards is suffering from terminal brain cancer. Jesus exhorted his followers to “love our enemies” and “pray for those who persecute us.” With that sentiment, Operation Rescue is asking all followers of Jesus to pray for the healing and salvation of Planned Parenthood’s former chief executive. When the groundbreaking Center for Medical Progress (CMP) videos hit the news in 2015, revealing Planned Parenthood’s illegal sale of baby body parts, Cecile Richards was President of Planned...

The University of California-San Francisco is using organs from aborted babies in a federally-funded study. On Tuesday, The Daily Wire reported that researchers at the university harvested genitalia — including “gonads” — for experiments. A subsequent analysis from The Daily Wire showed that UCSF’s Bixby Center for Global Reproductive Health supports several programs that have collectively trained thousands of medical students across the United States to perform abortions. Pro-Life San Francisco — which has investigated many of UCSF’s ties to the abortion industry through public records requests — discovered that a May 2021 study at the university experimented upon second-trimester...

Biden made the announcement Tuesday, calling Harris a “fearless fighter for the little guy, and one of the country’s...

(CNSNews.com) - Rep. Ilhan Omar (D.-Minn.) gave a speech on the House floor citing what she called the “hypocrisy” of “religious fundamentalists,” who are seeking to prohibit or restrict abortion. “Religious fundamentalists are currently trying to manipulate the State laws in order to impose their beliefs on an entire society, all with complete disregard for voices and the rights of American women,” she said in this speech that was delivered on May 22. “This isn't about religious morality or conviction,” she said, “because we have seen time and time again those who talk about their faith and want to push...

Abortion Rights Group Withdraws Roberts Ad By JESSE J. HOLLAND, Associated Press Writer 6 minutes ago After a week of protests by conservatives, an abortion rights group said Thursday night it is withdrawing a television advertisement linking Supreme Court nominee John Roberts to violent anti-abortion activists. "We regret that many people have misconstrued our recent advertisement about Mr. Roberts' record," said Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America. "Unfortunately, the debate over that advertisement has become a distraction from the serious discussion we hoped to have with the American public," she said in a letter Thursday to Sen. Arlen Specter...

A protester arrested by District of Columbia police for holding a jar containing a human fetus was found not guilty of breaking a centuries-old law meant to deal with health issues that could arise if a dead body was not properly disposed of. D.C. Magistrate Judge J. Dennis Doyle acquitted Jeff White, saying that his grasp of the jar in front of a Planned Parenthood abortuary was too fleeting to conclusively demonstrate that he was breaking a century-old statute prohibiting the display of a dead body or a part of a dead body. "It just doesn't do it beyond a...

Patricia Pokriots fabricated a story about a baby being thrown out of a car in order to cover her pregnancy from a disapproving family. In an age where it not only common place for women to have an abortion for selfish, cosmetic, or other unjustifiable and immoral reasons she not only carried through with the pregnancy but went to great lengths to ensure it would be cared for by a loving family. Was this baby thrown from a car?

As we prepare to celebrate next week’s gala Inauguration Day festivities in Washington, D.C., conservatives need to remember some grim realities. For the past four years we have had both a Republican president and GOP majorities in Congress, yet we have not significantly reduced the number of deaths by abortion in this country. In fact, in the 32 years since 1973, when Roe v. Wade became the law of the land, more than 45.5 million unborn children in America have been sacrificed to the gods of selfishness, hedonism and personal convenience. That comes out to well over 4,000 infanticides per...

CHICAGO -- Some see easy access to emergency contraception as a way to drastically reduce teen pregnancy, already on the decline since the early 1990s. Others worry that its long-term effects on young women are unknown or argue that the drug, also known as the "morning after pill," encourages teens to have sex. Ultimately, it will be up to Food and Drug Administration officials to decide: Should older teens be able to buy emergency contraception over the counter? Earlier this year, the FDA denied one drug company's request to sell its brand of emergency contraception to anyone. Now that company,...

MARTIN HASKELL, George Tiller, and Warren Hern have several things in common. All three are abortionists who specialize in late abortions. Haskell's name is closely linked with the partial-birth abortion method. Tiller and Hern may be the only two abortionists in the United States who openly advertise their willingness to perform third-trimester abortions. Finally, all three men have opened their checkbooks to support Senator John Kerry's bid to be president of the United States. Their contributions to Kerry's campaign total $7,000. That is not a vast sum compared with the millions being spent by liberal groups to attack President Bush....

A Hermantown church's display of crosses didn't sit well Wednesday with an unidentified driver. Broken crosses littered the tire track-covered lawn of Gethsemane Covenant Church, 4479 Ugstad Road, on Thursday morning as volunteers surveyed damage to the "Cemetery of Innocence," a display of 400 three-foot crosses each representing 10 abortions. More than 80 of the white PVC pipe crosses were knocked down or damaged, and some will have to be replaced. Lives represented by the crosses equal the number of abortions performed each day, said Jim Tuttle, Duluth branch manager of St. Paul-based Pro-Life Action Ministries, the group that manages...
