Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D, Gay, WI) was named on a list recovered from the vehicle of a man suspected of killing a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband and injuring another lawmaker and his wife. Baldwin is one of nearly 70 names who reportedly appear on the list.

NEW YORK — A clump of cells became no longer viable earlier this week at the age of 67. The clump, which had been birthed by Democrat uterus-owner and former Texas governor Ann Richards, was in its 205th trimester. It presided over nearly 333,000 terminations of unwanted clumps of cells like itself during a 12-year stint as president of a philanthropic organization 3% dedicated to ripping apart clumps of cells and selling the remains.

With just days to go before the election, Democratic vice presidential candidate and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is doubling down on pro-abortion rhetoric and signaling support for late-term abortions. In a Wednesday appearance on CBS News, Walz was asked if he and Vice President Kamala Harris would support “any limits on abortion, including limiting third-trimester abortions.” The Democratic governor replied, “Look, the vice president’s been very clear, making sure that we restore the right of Roe v. Wade, making sure that women and their health care providers — because these services are health care — making sure those decisions are...

I became Executive Director of Miami Right to Life in June 1989—a small but well-funded and incredibly organized group affiliated with Florida Right to Life. I was in my 20s, and it was my first foray into pro-life advocacy. On Thursday, September 14, 1989, I was alone at the office when I received an anonymous call from a labor and delivery nurse at Miami’s Baptist Hospital. She began the conversation by emphatically stating, “I’m pro-choice, but what I witnessed last night was wrong.” She went on to explain that she had seen a live birth during an abortion attempt, that...

Warren Hern is every bit as intense as you would expect of someone who has been threatened with death for most of his career. One of the few American physicians who performs late-term abortions, the 86-year-old has perhaps more than any other doctor been on the front lines of the war over reproductive rights. He has been shot at, spat at, cursed and harassed. He has been protected by federal and local law enforcement. He will not sit with his back to the door of a restaurant. Hern has lived in perpetual fear of assassination by political terrorists. That is...

When the Dobbs ruling overturned Roe v. Wade, we knew the abortion industry would not go away quietly without a fight. As you know, after our amicus brief was cited by the U.S. Supreme Court in overturning Roe, Liberty Counsel has been fighting the abortion industry’s attempts to make killing an unborn child a “right” in state constitutions across the country. Beyond barbaric … Now, the abortion industry is going for a bigger prize — federal legislation to force every state to wipe away all abortion restrictions. The bill even goes so far as to overturn the federal ban on...

Senate Democrats have pushed forward with a radical pro-abortion bill that would force states to legalize taxpayer-funded abortions up to birth. Forbes reports Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer filed cloture Thursday to advance the misnamed Women’s Health Protection Act, saying “a woman’s right to choose is a fundamental right.” He plans to hold a vote Feb. 28. Democrat leaders and many mainstream news outlets portray the bill as an effort to simply “codify the right to an abortion” in the U.S. in response to the likelihood that the Supreme Court will overturn Roe v. Wade later this year. But pro-life...

A Queens mother has been charged with two counts of murder for the brutal deaths of her two six-week-old twins, whose bodies were found stabbed to death in her apartment Thursday - one with a knife sticking out of his head. Danezja Kilpatrick, 23, was charged less than 24 hours after officers with the New York Police Department discovered the six-week-old twins, a boy and a girl, inside the Woodside Houses on 51st Street and 32nd Avenue. Police first found the infant boy - Dakota Bentley - inside a bedroom crib with a knife sticking out of his head, the...

Americans should be outraged their government participates in the wide-scale human trafficking operation that created a market for harvesting the organs of murdered infants.This article contains disturbing information about human dismemberment.Last week, legal accountability group Judicial Watch dropped a bombshell: a nearly 600-page report proving the U.S. government has been buying and trafficking “fresh” aborted baby body parts. These body parts, purchased by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to “humanize” mice and test biologic drugs in scientific experiments, came from babies up to 24-weeks-old gestation, just weeks from being born.While Americans may be used to hearing pro-lifers beat the...

Many in the media argue that there’s no such thing as late-term abortion. But a new report confirms that thousands of unborn babies – at or past 21 weeks gestation – are destroyed in abortion each year. On November 27, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) published its latest annual Abortion Surveillance report detailing U.S. abortion data for the years 2017 and 2018. That data revealed that 1 percent of reported abortions in 2018 were performed at or after 21 weeks gestation. While 1 percent might sound small, that figure translates to thousands of late-term abortions. And, as...

A Colorado ballot initiative aimed at banning late-term abortions in most circumstances has an uncertain future, with a recent poll labeling its fate “too close to call.” Colorado voters will vote on Proposition 115, which if approved will ban abortions after 22 weeks’ gestation except in the event of a life-threatening medical emergency for the mother. In a report released earlier this month, the American Politics Research Lab at the University of Colorado, Boulder found that 45% of voters opposed Proposition 115, while 41% said they supported it, and 14% were unsure. The report labeled the likely success or failure...

PART TWO OF A TWO-PART OPERATION RESCUE SPECIAL REPORT A new survey of abortion facilities in the U.S. has revealed a new, disturbing industry-wide trend that shows that overall in 2019, surgical abortion facilities have expanded into the late-term abortion market, where lucrative multi-day procedures can reap quick profits. The survey also found the following: * There are 710 abortion facilities in the U.S., comprised of 464 surgical and 245 medical abortion clinics. * The percentage of surgical abortion facilities that self-impose abortion limits at 13 weeks or earlier dropped from 46% in 2018 to 31% in 2019, meaning more...

Noemi worked at Tampa Women’s Health abortion facility until a late-term abortion she took part in changed everything. She appeared in a webcast sponsored by the pro-life group And Then There Were None and shared the story of the incident that led her to question her work in the abortion industry. Founded by Abby Johnson, whose own pro-life conversion was featured in the book and movie Unplanned, And Then There Were None helps abortion workers leave the industry. Noemi is one of those workers. A pregnant woman who did not want an abortion came to the facility at which she...

The book Abortion Care was written to educate future abortion workers. It gives training and advice to those who want to work in abortion facilities. One subject it covers is late term abortion. The book mentions several studies on the reasons why women get late abortions, and pulls examples from various studies. The examples are from women’s abortions that took place between 15 and 23 weeks. Here are some of the reasons, in women’s own words. One woman said she didn’t feel pregnant or miss a period, so she learned of her pregnancy late: I thought I wouldn’t have my...

Three years ago, Erika Christensen flew to Colorado and spent $10,000 to abort her unborn son at 32 weeks of pregnancy. Now, she is an abortion activist who pushed her home state of New York to legalize abortions up to birth earlier this year. And this fall, she hopes to stop Colorado from passing a measure to protect viable, late-term unborn babies from abortion. Christensen recently spoke to the Canon City Daily Record about her abortion at one of the last late-term abortion practices in the country, Warren Hern’s abortion business in Boulder, Colorado. She said she was about 16...

It was a partnership Planned Parenthood’s former president once bragged she was “proud” of. “Proud,” apparently, of cutting into tiny baby bodies when their hearts are still beating. “Proud,” it turns out, of putting women through riskier abortion procedures to get better, more valuable baby organs. And “proud,” most of all, that her medical directors were negotiating higher prices for the little livers, limbs, and brains her business was harvesting. Four years later, pride is the last thing anyone felt at the courtroom where the gory details of Planned Parenthood’s baby butcher ring came tumbling out. While the country’s abortion...

FULL TITLE: 77% of Americans Want to Protect Babies Who Survive Abortions, Nancy Pelosi Has Blocked a Vote 80 Times Today, pro-life Republican leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives will hold a hearing on the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, legislation to protect some of the most vulnerable of all Americans — babies who survive abortions. This year, states like New York and Illinois have pushed a radical expansion of abortion on demand through birth, even going so far as to repeal state laws banning gruesome partial-birth abortions and strip away existing protections for babies born alive. In Virginia,...

Aging late-term abortionist LeRoy Carhart does not shy away from the fact that he is killing babies. But he tries to legitimize his life-destroying career with words like “care” and “compassion.” He even offers to allow women to cuddle with their dead baby and take their footprints before he disposes of their body. A brochure on Carhart’s website provides details about his late-term abortion practice in Bethesda, Maryland. He touts himself as a specialist in “second and third trimester abortion care,” and advertises abortions after 28 weeks – long past the point when an unborn baby is viable. “Abortion is...

Beto O’Rourke recently argued that, while unborn life has value, abortion is still a “decision for the woman.” It’s also a decision that becomes increasingly difficult to defend when described in detail – something the media rarely do. On August 26, the Democratic presidential candidate expressed his support for abortion – even up until the day before birth. O’Rourke made his comments during a town hall Q&A held at the College of Charleston in South Carolina. The first question that evening came from a 29-year-old man who was curious about the former Texas representative’s abortion stance. “Someone asked you specifically...
