For those of us who are active in the pro-life movement, and who know what an unborn baby looks like even at the earliest stages, it is hard to believe that so many people do not know that abortions often leave behind recognizable body parts. People really are uninformed about fetal development, especially in the first trimester. For example, this past May, pro-lifers responded with incredulity when comedian Sarah Silverman called unborn babies “goo.” The next time one of your proabortion friends or family members makes a statement like Silverman’s, direct them to these quotes by three abortion clinic workers...

On Wednesday, October 25th, Womens Med Dayton, Dayton’s remaining abortion facility, had another ambulance call to 911. The patient was a 33-year old female experiencing bleeding from a “complicated procedure.” This facility performs approximately 61 abortions every week in Montgomery County, according the 2022 annual Ohio Abortion Report. You can hear the 911 call here. This facility has a long history of 911 calls for “transportation to Miami Valley Hospital.” The facility was cited in 2015 for providing services without proper consent. This call is another example of lack of best practices by this facility. In early October, the Ohio...

Columbus, OH – When Ohio’s pro-life Governor Mike DeWine appointed Dr. Amy Acton to serve as Executive Director of the Ohio Department of Health, he may not have realized that, as a registered Democrat, Acton and her whole family worked on Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign, and later managed non-profit fundraising grants for Planned Parenthood of Greater Ohio and the NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio Foundation. It was Acton that issued a license to “Women’s Med Dayton” – the alter-ego for Women’s Med Center of Dayton, an abortion facility owned by the notorious late-term abortionist Martin Haskell. Acton revoked the license for...

Dayton, OH – Operation Rescue is seeking help from pro-life supporters in a public campaign to force the resignation or removal of the current Ohio Department of Health Director, Amy Acton, who has prevented a very dangerous late-term abortion facility from losing its facility license through the use of a duplicitous paperwork loophole. Acton, who was appointed by Gov. Mike DeWine in February, licensed the Women’s Med Center of Dayton, a late-term abortion facility, under an assumed name to keep it open despite four years of litigation by the state to terminate its abortion license for dishonesty and failure to...

FULL TITLE: New Ohio Department of Health Director with Ties to Abortion Charities Keeps Discredited Abortion Facility Open Columbus, OH — Earlier this month, after a four-year legal process to terminate the abortion facility license of one of the nation’s most notorious late-term abortion facilities, it finally appeared that the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) would be allowed to uphold the law. But the abortion facility and the new head of the ODH were about to pull a fast one that left many in the state stunned. The situation takes a bit of explanation. In 2015, the ODH began the...

Abortionist Martin Haskell has been ordered to close an abortion clinic by the same judge who ordered a "stay" to keep it open. Stand True Ministries' Bryan Kemper -- who was in the courtroom during the hearing -- told LifeSiteNews that Hamilton County Judge Jerome Metz said the burden of proof was on Haskell's Sharonville, Ohio clinic to show that closing the clinic would cause harm to women.

The recording of the 911 call from an apparently badly botched abortion last week at an abortion clinic is Dayton has been made public and the details are shocking for a woman who was victimized.

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....
