Same-Sex Couple Sues Surrogate who Refused to Abort Their 2-year-old Son Over a Minor Birth Defect

A same-sex male couple in Canada has sued a surrogate mother who believes she is being punished because she refused a request to abort the baby after doctors detected a cleft lip and a possible heart defect.

In a suit filed in Ontario Superior Court in May, the parents allege the surrogate mother failed to keep them informed about the baby’s health, put the baby at risk, caused them emotional distress and violated their confidentiality, The National Post reported.

The outlet, which reviewed the claim but withheld the identities of the mother and the couple, reported that the lawsuit came two years after the couple asked her to terminate the pregnancy at 22 weeks — a request she refused.

The lawsuit does not cite her refusal as a reason for the suit, but the mother and the surrogacy agency both say the relationship with the couple deteriorated after she decided to continue the pregnancy.

“That’s when everything changed … they wanted a termination,” Sally Rhoads-Heinrich, owner of Surrogacy in Canada Online, told the outlet. “What I find most difficult in this is they are suing the woman who brought their son to them. How is their son going to feel someday if he learns that?” (Read more from “Same-Sex Couple Sues Surrogate who Refused to Abort Their 2-year-old Son Over a Minor Birth Defect” HERE)

Army Officer Sentenced to 12 Years for Secretly Drugging Pregnant Soldier with Abortion Pills

An Army officer who secretly drugged a pregnant junior enlisted soldier with abortion pills has been sentenced to 12 years behind bars, Army officials said.

Capt. Brandon Jones-Adams, 34, pleaded guilty to several offenses, including intentionally killing an unborn child, domestic violence, fraternization and conduct unbecoming of an officer, Military.com reported on July 3. He was sentenced during a military trial at Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) in Washington.

Officials said Jones-Adams admitted to covertly putting abortion drugs in the soldier’s drink. Investigators concluded he ordered the abortion drug mifepristone online using a fake name after trying multiple times to obtain the drug from other sources, per the report.

Jones-Adams and the victim met in November 2024 and had a consensual relationship while assigned to the same battalion, which included a nine-month stint in South Korea. The soldier became pregnant in May 2025, according to the report.

Jones-Adams poured the victim a drink on August 21, 2025, at his home in Puyallup, Washington. After she finished the drink, she noticed a residue in the cup and suspected he had drugged her, according to the report. Shortly after, she began having severe cramping and went to the emergency room at JBLM. While at the hospital, she told medical staff she was concerned she had been drugged.

Parents Of Aborted Child Say Baby Was Born Alive, Trafficked For Organ Harvesting

A couple says their five-month-old infant was delivered alive at an abortion clinic in New Jersey — then trafficked for fetal organ harvesting. They named the little girl Clementine.

Their allegations are detailed in the Center for Medical Progress’ new documentary, “What Happened to Clementine?” Filmmakers interviewed Tommy Kearns, Clementine’s father, and Clementine’s mother, who has chosen to remain anonymous.

Clementine’s parents are wondering: Where is their child?

Kearns told the Daily Caller: “If Clementine’s scalp is growing on the back of a lab rat, then the question is not scientific. It is about our child. How long is her hair? What color is her hair? She is not a tissue sample, she is a person.”

Kearns added that he’s “looking at this as a kidnapping.”

“I want to know where her body is. Any experiments that they are doing to her are illegal and need to be stopped.”

Supreme Court Restores Access to Abortion Pill Mifepristone through Telehealth, Mail and Pharmacies

The Supreme Court on Monday restored broad access to the abortion pill mifepristone, blocking a lower-court ruling that had threatened to upend one of the main ways abortions are provided across the nation.

The order signed by Justice Samuel Alito temporarily allows women seeking abortions to obtain the pill at pharmacies or through the mail, without an in-person visit to a doctor.

Those practices had been permitted for several years until a federal appeals court imposed new restrictions last week.

The latest order will remain in effect for another week while both sides respond and the high court considers the issue more fully. (Read more from “Supreme Court Restores Access to Abortion Pill Mifepristone through Telehealth, Mail and Pharmacies” HERE)

‘I’m Killing My Child On Thursday’: Famous Actress Begged For Forgiveness In 1991 Diary Entry

In her new memoir, “Married… with Children,” actress Christina Applegate describes an abortion she had in 1991 as “murder.” . . .

“Well, yesterday I found out I was 6 1/2 weeks pregnant … I love this being … I always felt that if I ever got pregnant when I knew it was the wrong time, I wouldn’t have any problem having an abortion. ‘Oh, whatever. It isn’t even a baby yet.’ That’s bullshit. This creature’s incredible — makes me feel whole, safe,” Applegate says, reading from a diary entry she made at the time, according to NewsBusters. The site reviewed an audio version of Applegate’s memoir, “You with the Sad Eyes.”

“I’m fucking pregnant, and I’m killing my child on Thursday. I’m thinking, ‘Where the fuck can I go to recuperate from murder?’ His family will hate me when they find out that I killed their family member because they don’t believe in it. But I can’t have this baby because I have work to do to entertain this fucking world. Besides, I can’t now.”

Most women who abort their babies rationalize the decision by, as Applegate describes, claiming “it isn’t even a baby yet.” Applegate was fully aware that abortion is the taking of a life. She still sacrificed her child to her career ambitions. (Read more from “‘I’m Killing My Child On Thursday’: Famous Actress Begged For Forgiveness In 1991 Diary Entry” HERE)

Lisa Murkowski Joins Democrats, Votes for Abortion in VA Facilities

The U.S. Senate squashed an effort Wednesday by Democratic lawmakers to overturn the Department of Veterans Affairs’ ban on abortions or abortion counseling for VA patients.

In a 50-48 vote, the Senate rejected a proposal by Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, to reinstate VA coverage of abortions. . .

The VA finalized a rule Dec. 31 that prohibits the procedure at VA medical centers unless the veteran’s life is at risk. The new policy overturned a policy implemented in September 2022 that allowed the VA to provide the procedure or cover the cost in cases of rape, incest or endangerment of the life or health of the mother. . .

Between September 2022 and August 2025, the VA had covered or provided abortions to roughly 100 veterans and 40 CHAMPVA patients, according to data provided by the VA.

Blumenthal’s proposal would have opened debate on whether to repeal the VA’s ban. The vote fell nearly unanimously along party lines, with 50 Republicans voting no and two Republicans, Sen. Susan Collins of Maine and Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, joining 46 Democrats voting yes. (Read more from “Lisa Murkowski Joins Democrats, Votes for Abortion in VA Facilities” HERE)

Trump DOJ Demands Pause On Another Lawsuit Challenging FDA’s Abortion Pill Permissions

The Trump administration Department of Justice says women and babies whose lives and safety are threatened by popular abortion pills should have to wait until after U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s review of the popular abortion drug mifepristone to get relief.

The DOJ is redirecting its demands for a court-mandated pause on abortion pill lawsuits from the landmark Louisiana v. FDA case to take aim at Texas and Florida for challenging the FDA’s 2000 approval of mifepristone and subsequent expansions. It is under the Biden administration’s 2023 radical mifepristone permissions that anyone in any state can order mail-order pregnancy-ending pills and complete at-home abortions without medical oversight.

In its memorandum filed on Friday, the DOJ demanded the court “stay this litigation pending the outcome of FDA’s review” or dismiss the complaint altogether.

“Florida and Texas (Plaintiffs) threaten to short-circuit the agency’s orderly review and study of the safety risks of mifepristone,” the memo claims. “They would have this Court set aside the 2000 approval of mifepristone and subsequent actions modifying the conditions of use (including the REMS) and approving generic equivalents — all without the benefit of FDA’s new review of the mifepristone REMS. And if FDA ultimately decides to change course, judicial relief may prove equally unnecessary and disruptive.” (REMS stands for Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies.)

Both U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and FDA Commissioner Marty Makary pledged to review safety concerns surrounding the most popular abortion drug on the market, including one analysis that found more than one in 10 women who take mifepristone suffer a serious adverse event such as hemorrhage or infection.

Despite Promise To Be Pro-Life ‘Ally,’ Trump Admin Won’t Regulate Abortion Drug Endangering Women

It is well established that mifepristone, the popular abortion drug, is deadly to unborn babies and dangerous to women — especially those who take it without medical oversight. Confidence that the Trump administration will do anything to curb the harms wrought by the Biden administration’s radical expansion of mail-order abortion drugs, however, is dwindling.

New polling from Cygnal suggests that 32 percent of Republican voters are unmotivated to show up for the midterms “if Republican leaders weaken or abandon pro-life policies.” Trump, who fears impeachment if the GOP loses control of Congress come November, can’t afford to be shunned by the pro-life base that played a pivotal role in electing and reelecting him. Yet, he has deliberately avoided addressing mifepristone and the Biden-era mail-order scheme that has contributed to the deadly drug’s popularity.

Trump’s silence is unsurprising given his history of blaming pro-life issues for Republicans’ political losses. What is surprising to the pro-life organizations and GOP legislators is that their demands that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration at least restore the mifepristone safeguards present during the first Trump administration have yet to manifest in any measurable action.

Pro-lifers believe this stalling is deliberate. SBA List Pro-Life America and Live Action’s Lila Rose used an anonymously-sourced article claiming the FDA head was “Slow Walking a Long-Awaited Abortion Pill Safety Study” to call for FDA Commissioner Marty Makary’s firing. The FDA called the accusation “baseless.”

Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., told The Federalist in a phone call that he also believes, after conversations with Makary, that the FDA’s “safety study thing is just a dead end.” (Read more from “Despite Promise To Be Pro-Life ‘Ally,’ Trump Admin Won’t Regulate Abortion Drug Endangering Women” HERE)

Former 911 Responder Shares Horror Stories Of Mail-Order Abortions

When the phone rings at 2:00 a.m., the voice on the other end is rarely calm. As a former 911 dispatcher, I spent years trained to be the steady anchor in someone’s darkest hour. But nothing in my emergency services career prepared me for the harrowing calls I field now on an abortion pill help line.

I speak every day with women and girls in moments of fear, pain, and confusion — often in the middle of the night, when no one else is willing to answer the phone. Over the past year, I have noticed a troubling pattern that should concern anyone who cares about women’s health, parental responsibility, and basic medical ethics.

The number of calls from women related to chemical abortions is increasing, as is the confusion. Women ask whether the amount of blood they’re losing is normal. They aren’t sure if they took the pills correctly, or at the right time, or in the right dose. Many don’t know how many weeks pregnant they are. They were told this would be simple, private, and empowering. In reality, it is often chaotic and isolating. . .

“Jenny” was 17 years old when she told the boy she’d known since she was 12 that she was pregnant. His response was blunt: get an abortion. When she told him she couldn’t afford the pills, he suggested she drink rubbing alcohol. When she refused, he blocked her number.

Jenny turned to her mother. Still a minor and financially dependent, she hoped for protection or guidance. Instead, she was told they couldn’t afford a baby. Her mother ordered abortion drugs online. (Read more from “Former 911 Responder Shares Horror Stories Of Mail-Order Abortions” HERE)

JD Vance Addresses ‘Elephant In The Room’ At March For Life

Vice President JD Vance responded to the “elephant in the room” at the March for Life on Friday, concerns that not enough political progress is being made on the pro-life issue.

While the Trump administration has implemented policies that restrict taxpayer funding for abortion and pardoned pro-life activists targeted by the Biden administration, pro-life activists are still waiting on some of their biggest asks, like reinstating restrictions on the abortion pill.

“I want you to know that I hear you, and that I understand there will inevitably be debates within this movement,” Vance said. “We love each other, and we’re going to have open conversations about how best to use our political system to advance life, how prudential we must be in the cause of advancing human life. I think these are good, honest and natural debates. And frankly, they’re not just good for all of you. They help keep people like me honest, and that’s an important thing.”

Vance urged pro-lifers to remember the progress that has already been made in the last decade, namely the reversal of Roe v. Wade.

“I look at this crowd and I see young people for whom Dobbs is the only world they’ve ever known,” Vance said. (Read more from “JD Vance Addresses ‘Elephant In The Room’ At March For Life” HERE)
