Susan Robinson, a physician known for performing abortions later in pregnancy and who worked with providers in Albuquerque, has died. Her death is drawing renewed attention to New Mexico’s role in the national abortion industry and Albuquerque’s connection to one of the country’s most widely known facilities offering the procedure. ​Robinson’s death was confirmed in a public statement by abortion provider Shelly Sella, who worked alongside Robinson providing third-trimester abortion services in both Wichita, Kansas, and Albuquerque, New Mexico. “Dr. Susan Robinson died this morning, less than a year from her cancer diagnosis,” Sella wrote in a public post. “Susan...

In Indiana, a Marion County Superior Court judge issued a permanent injunction March 5 blocking enforcement of Indiana’s abortion ban on the outrageous claim that there is a so-called religious right to kill babies in abortions. The judge blocked the ban for a certified class of people who claim killing a baby in an abortion is an exercise of their religious beliefs. The ruling is prompting sharp criticism from pro-life advocates, who called the decision a perversion of religious freedom protections. Judge Christina R. Klineman ruled that the state’s 2022 abortion law violates Indiana’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act by substantially...

Canada is set to pass a grim milestone in its medically-assisted suicide program with a total of 100,000 citizens projected to be euthanized by the government before its 10th anniversary on June 17. The Great White North’s MAID (Medical Assistance in Dying) program will soon cross the sickly six-figure threshold, according to The National Post. Ottawa’s most recent data shows 15,767 Canadians were euthanized by the state in 2024 — 5.1% of all deaths in the nation that year. Rachel Fournier, who has requested medical assistance in dying, looks out a window at a palliative care center. About 45 Canucks...

Talarico sends a letter to President Biden urging him to lease FEDERAL land, offices, and employees for ABORTION CLINICS, and to ignore/ban state laws. Full letter at link.

Texas Democrat James Talarico once called on the federal government to hire abortionists to kill babies. The leftist Senate hopeful wanted Joe Biden to spend taxpayer dollars to hire abortionists as employees and open abortion businesses on federal property — including in every courthouse and national park — to expand the killing of unborn babies across the nation. In a June 24, 2022, letter to Biden, then-state Rep. Talarico urged “extraordinary steps” to counter pro-life protections enacted after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Among his specific demands were “leasing federal property to abortion clinics on federal lands or...

Former Notre Dame football coach Lou Holtz, a pro-life champion who led the Fighting Irish to the 1988 national college football championship, has passed away. Holtz was a vocal advocate for the pro-life cause. He spoke at the annual spring banquet of Right to Life of Southwest Indiana in Evansville, an event attended by about 1,700 pro-life activists and described as the largest pro-life banquet in the country. He urged the crowd to “fight, fight, fight” for the lives of unborn babies and emphasized that their mission was noble, telling them they must be the hope of the unborn. “One...

Absolutely shocking and ultra-woke comments from the liberal media darling James Talarico, a Texas State Representative, have surfaced as he tries to become the first Democrat in more than 30 years to win in Texas. As The Gateway Pundit’s Jordan Conradson reported, Talarico upset Jasmine Crockett in Tuesday’s Democratic Primary race for US Senate. Talarico had 52% of the votes, scoring a rather large single-digit win over Crockett. Crockett predicted her loss late last night and blamed “cheating,” though she later conceded defeat and endorsed Talarico. Following his primary victory, X accounts dug up some fairly old videos of Talarico...

James Talarico, a Texas lawmaker, won the Democratic race to run for U.S. Senate. As a Democrat, he strongly supports abortion. What has surprised many Texans is not just his position, but the way he defends it. He says the Bible supports his view. Talarico grew up in a Christian Presbyterian church and often talks about his faith. But his explanation of Scripture ignores what the Bible teaches about the value of Life, especially the lives of babies in the womb. Around the time the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, allowing Texas to protect preborn children, Talarico preached a...

A South Korean woman and two doctors have been convicted of murder after a baby delivered by caesarian section was placed in a freezer and left to die. Prosecutors said the child was born alive at 36 weeks before the killing took place. Medical records were later falsified to indicate the baby had been stillborn. The case marks the first time murder charges have been brought in South Korea against a woman over what has been described as a late-term termination, as well as against the doctors involved. The woman, identified only by her surname, Kwon, is in her 20s....

Luxembourg just wrote abortion into its constitution. On March 3, Luxembourg’s Chamber of Deputies voted to add the “freedom” to have an abortion to the country’s highest law. The initiative began when MP Marc Baum of déi Lénk introduced the proposal in 2024, then pushed it through the legislative pipeline in 2025, including review by the State Council. Along the way, lawmakers contorted themselves into knots and deliberately shifted the text from a claimed “right” to a “freedom,” a rhetorical dodge that changes the label while keeping the same moral claim: the state should publicly bless the deliberate destruction of...

Facing a $100 million revenue shortfall largely due to federal Medicaid reimbursement cuts, Planned Parenthood Mar Monte, the largest affiliate of the national abortion business, has begun selling Botox injections and other cosmetic procedures to generate new income. The affiliate, which serves Northern California and Nevada, is introducing the services amid significant financial pressures. It closed five abortion clinics and laid off nearly 15% of its staff in 2025 after losing substantial Medicaid funding following a July spending bill under President Trump. Stacy Cross, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Mar Monte, said of the funding gap, “We’ll never fill...

Louisville, KY—The recent lawsuit filed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton against Aid Access and its operators further validates the urgency facing Kentucky. The Texas Attorney General has taken legal action against Aid Access GmbH, Aid Access B.V., and associated individuals operating an international abortion-by-mail enterprise that allegedly ships abortion-inducing drugs into Texas in direct defiance of state law. Kentucky is confronting similar aggressive and intentional targeting. Kentucky Right to Life has spoken out, and we will continue to highlight entities such as Aid Access, ABUZZ, Safe Choice, and AbortionFinder who actively market abortion-inducing drugs to Kentucky girls and women...

What to know about the nature, the mindset, the over-riding presumptions that power the pro-abortionist? In many cases, of course, their bottom line—an abiding contempt for unborn babies (second only for their hatred of us) — is shockingly clear. But if that scorn is obvious to us, isn’t that animosity towards the little one even more self-evident to them? How can they not see what they are doing, and to whom? Let’s take a moment to explore the mechanisms they use to shield themselves from the cruelty on display, what they are doing to hapless unborn babies. There is a...

A fire station in Rapid City, South Dakota, has opened the state’s first Safe Haven Baby Box. Communities in South Dakota have discussed bringing baby boxes to the state for years — a push that increased after the body of baby Gabriel was found at a Sioux Falls recycling center in 2024, KELO reported. “That same week after baby Gabriel was found there was another phone call that came into Safe Haven looking for a box in South Dakota. So, there was a second baby where the mother was looking to surrender the baby and there was no box for...

Former first lady Michelle Obama is coming under some criticism today for urging new moms to put their children aside and pursue a career. Obama urged working mothers to pursue their passions outside the home, assuring them that their children would not be “broken” by the decision, while criticizing society for opposing abortion without providing adequate support for new mothers. Never mind that tons of government programs, private charities, as well as thousands of churches and pregnancy centers provide a whole host of resources for pregnant and parenting moms. In a recent podcast episode of “IMO with Michelle Obama &...

A 25-year-old man from Spring, Texas is jailed without bond, charged with aggravated assault after authorities say he secretly gave abortion medication to a pregnant woman against her will, causing the death of their unborn child. Jon Rueben Gabriel Demeter faces a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon causing serious bodily injury — family violence. Authorities indicated possible additional or enhanced charges pending further evidence processing. The child, named Presley Mae by her mother, was stillborn at a hospital in The Woodlands. The woman told authorities she believed the father of her baby had administered a drug to...

American advocates for youth gender medicine have insisted for years that overwhelming evidence favors providing gender dysphoric youth with puberty blockers, hormones and, in the case of biological females, surgery to remove their breasts. It didn’t matter that the number of kids showing up at gender clinics had soared and that they were more likely to have complex mental health conditions than those who had come to clinics in years earlier, complicating diagnosis. ... The reason these advocates were able to make such strong statements is that for years, the most important professional medical and mental health organizations in the...

Vermont has agreed to a policy change that allows Christian foster parents to care for children without being forced to endorse gender ideology. The state’s decision comes after a lawsuit essentially forcing it to back down from revocation of foster-care licenses for families holding traditional religious beliefs on sex and gender. The decision made it difficult for Christian foster parents to adopt children while staying true to Christian and normal biological views that boys and girls are different. The settlement in Wuoti v. Winters and a related case finalized today comes after the Department for Children and Families (DCF) revised...

Atlanta, GA — After months of public drama among the employees and higher-ups of Planned Parenthood Southeast, six former PPSE employees recently filed discrimination charges against the affiliate, submitting the charges to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). One filing submitted by Jessica Swanson, PPSE’s former Director of Education, alleges she was fired by the new interim CEO, Mairo Akposé, in retaliation for voicing concerns about Akposé. Before being suddenly promoted to CEO, Akposé was the Human Resources Director. Swanson alleges that she first complained about Akposé in her HR role when Akposé failed to refer to the current...

A Texas man has died after he and his ex-wife reportedly worked together to plan and carry out his suicide. Joseph Cheffo was found dead in his Odessa home on February 13. Though assisted suicide is illegal in Texas, authorities allege that his ex-wife and primary caretaker, Sarah Regmund, helped facilitate his death after being in contact with Final Exit Network. Investigators say a copy of Final Exit by Derek Humphry was found near his bed. The book, written for the terminally ill, goes beyond arguing for “the right to die.” It provides instructions. In one disturbing line, it states:...
