Yesterday, Oregon Governor Tina Kotek declared “Abortion Provider Appreciation Day,” aiming to recognize and honor the work of abortionists in the state. But pro-life Americans are aghast at a day set aside to celebrate killing babies. “Here in Oregon, we understand that abortion is health care, and providers are appreciated and can continue to provide care without interference and intimidation,” Governor Kotek said. From a pro-life perspective, this declaration is deeply concerning. Abortion ends an innocent human life, and thus, celebrating those who do abortions contradicts the fundamental value of protecting life at all stages. Such proclamations may further entrench...

* Pork producers in America have been administering mRNA-based gene therapy to pigs secretly, contaminating pork with self-assembling nanoparticles. * Harrisvaccines pioneered RNA-based livestock vaccines, acquired by Merck Animal Health in 2016, leading to the prevalence of unregulated gene therapy in the livestock sector. * Merck introduced Sequivity, a swine vaccine platform in collaboration with Moderna, without safety testing, raising concerns about consumer health risks. * Companies plan to expand mRNA “vaccines” to avian influenza, cows, and cattle, prompting the need for transparent labeling and stringent regulations to protect public health. * Consumers are advised to avoid pork products possibly...

After an Arizona constitutional amendment allowing abortion past 15 weeks was recently certified, abortion businesses in the state announced they can’t wait to kill preborn children later in pregnancy, with at least one admitting that it is already committing abortions up to about 24 weeks, even though the 15-week law is still in effect until overturned by the courts. Dr. Atsuko Koyama, an abortionist at Camelback Family Planning in Phoenix, told The Copper Courier that her facility is now committing abortions up to the point of “fetal viability” because they are “confident” the current law restricting abortions after 15 weeks...

Planned Parenthood has been providing “viable nonanomalous” babies killed in “elective abortions” to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) for experimentation, according to a new report. Published by The Center for Medical Progress (CMP), the emails detail a “Research Plan” that documents the harvesting of babies for experimentation on their bodies. The plan was submitted to and approved by UCSD’s Institutional Review Board (IRB) in 2018. The heavily redacted communications were obtained by the group via open records request. According to the records reported by CMP, researchers unveiled plans in their submission to “collect tissues from fetuses ranging from...

The nation’s biggest abortion business has been shown once again to be selling the body parts of aborted babies. The latest expose’ of the Planned Parenthood abortion giant comes via never- before-seen documents released under a California public records request. They show Planned Parenthood selling 23-week-old aborted babies to a university for dubious research, Newly revealed documents show Planned Parenthood supplying UC San Diego with aborted babies parts from unborn babies killed in elective abortions , including viable babies up to 23 weeks. The agreements suggest the use of fetal material for research projects in exchange for potential intellectual property...

President Joe Biden on Wednesday awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to former Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards at a private ceremony, the White House said. Richards, the daughter of the late Texas Gov. Ann Richards, left the reproductive health care organization in 2018 after leading it for 12 years. Earlier this year, Richards revealed she was battling glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer – the same that killed Biden’s son Beau. Biden posted on X that it was his "honor" to award Cecile Richards the Medal of Freedom, and shared a photo of him, first lady Jill Biden,...

Modern-day grave robbers in Texas have seized unclaimed bodies belonging to veterans and sold their limbs for profit without the consent or knowledge from their grieving family members. Victor Carl Honey, 58, a dedicated Army veteran, who struggled with mental illness, died in September 2022 of heart failure. Honey was among the 2,350 people whose remains were sent to the body donation program at the University of North Texas Health Science Center in Fort-Worth. However, a month after his death, the Dallas County Medical Examiner's Officer deemed Honey's body 'unclaimed' after they said phones for relatives were disconnected even though...

In the course of Kamala Harris’s charge for reproductive freedom, we’ve heard a lot about the 14 states that have banned access to abortion and the 27 others that have restrictions based on gestational duration. But we’ve heard little to nothing about the nine states and the District of Columbia that allow abortion no matter what the age of the fetus. This basically means up until the moment of birth.

Attitudes on abortion are deeply entrenched and have motivated voters across the American political landscape for decades. But in a post-Roe world, with abortion access sharply limited or at stake in several states, voters who want to protect abortion rights are increasingly energized. Although the economy remains the No. 1 issue for voters, a growing share of voters in swing states now say abortion is central to their decision this fall, according to New York Times/Siena College polls earlier this month. This represents an increase since May, when President Joe Biden was still the Democratic presidential nominee. And by a...

HOUSTON, Aug. 8— Newly-released undercover footage, which Planned Parenthood sought to block for eight years, shows the organization’s Houston, TX branch describing delivering late-term fetuses intact and alive and mutilating the bodies afterwards to cover up violations of the federal partial-birth abortion law, in conversations about selling fetal body parts. In the footage of two conversations filmed at the National Abortion Federation’s 2015 commercial trade show, undercover reporters posing as laboratory wholesalers speak with Dr. Ann Schutt-Aine, the Chief Medical Officer of Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast, and Tram Nguyen, RN, the branch’s Vice President of Abortion Access. In the first...

The Biden administration is telling emergency room doctors they must perform emergency abortions when necessary to save a pregnant woman’s health. That's following last week's 6-3 Supreme Court ruling that failed to settle a legal dispute over whether state abortion bans override the federal law that requires hospitals to stabilize patients. The Health and Human Services agency

CV NEWS FEED // The federal government is investigating the University of Pittsburgh (“Pitt”) over allegations that it unlawfully obtained parts and tissues of aborted children for experiments. The Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) Office of Inspector General (OIG) is reportedly conducting the investigation. The mounting accusations against Pitt appear to stem from a collection of emails. The Daily Wire reported Thursday that they were “obtained as part of a public records request from Judicial Watch and the Center for Medical Progress (CMP).” “[Pitt] has been a center for some of the most barbaric experiments, government funded experiments,...

A Wisconsin judge has ruled that an 1849 law does not actually protect preborn children from abortion, setting up a potential challenge in the state Supreme Court. Dane County Circuit Judge Diane Schlipper ruled that the 174-year-old law applies to feticide (an act of homicide against a fetus committed by someone other than the child’s mother), but not abortion (initiated by the child’s mother). The statute is worded: Any person, other than the mother, who intentionally destroys the life of an unborn child is guilty of a Class H felony. Yet Schlipper said that this wording referred to someone attacking...

Maine state Senate Democrats blocked a proposed amendment on Tuesday to a late-term abortion bill that would have placed a four-year moratorium on the trafficking of fetal remains leftover from late-term abortions, the Maine Wire reported.

Medical residents from other states are receiving instruction at the University of New Mexico Center for Reproductive Health in response to the U.S. Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision. One way that the U.S. Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision, which overturned Roe v. Wade last year, has impacted abortion care across the U.S. is in medical training. Obstetrics and gynecology students studying in states where abortion is banned can no longer receive integrated abortion care training into their years of study. Dr. Jody Steinauer, director of the University of California-San Francisco Bixby Center ... said that OB-GYN medical students now have to travel...

Russia today boasted its missile strikes were 'right on target' in a sickening Telegram post made just hours after Vladimir Putin unleashed a barrage of rockets on Ukrainian homes. More than 20 cruise missiles and two drones were fired at cities and towns across Ukraine that were miles away from the front lines, killing at least 23 civilians including a mother and her two-year-old daughter as they slept inside their homes. Families were blown to pieces, with many victims buried amongst the rubble of their homes, as Russia's missiles thundered through the air and smashed into residential buildings. Five hours...

What's the celebration all about in Minnesota? Did the Vikings win? Twins add a shortstop? The Wild on the road to the Stanley Cup? The answer is not about sports or a drop in crime rates in Minneapolis. The answer is a celebration about abortion, or "reproductive rights" as they call it these days. After Roe was overturned, we knew that states would decide the issue on their own. And so they did. Elections have consequences as we see in a 34-33 party-line vote. And in Minnesota they had a huge celebration to go with it. Not one Democrat had...

The Minnesota state senate passed an abortion rights bill that guarantees a right to an abortion up to the time of birth. The bill, known as the Protect Reproductive Options (PRO) Act, passed by a vote of 34-33 and now goes to Gov. Bill Walz’s desk. He has indicated he will sign it. H.F. 1, authored by Sen. Jennifer McEwen, would create a “fundamental right” to abortion and would allow abortions for any reason, even late in pregnancy. Since a fetus can feel pain as young as 20 weeks into gestation and no later than 28-30 weeks, some states have...
