State Bill Would Allow Residents to Manufacture Unlimited Embryos and Destroy Them All

/0 Comments/in , /by

Assisted reproductive technology is marred with ethical and moral controversy, but under a new bill that could be passed by the Illinois House of Representatives as soon as next month, procedures such as the serial manufacturing and destruction of embryos could become “fundamental rights” for residents of the state.

Margaret Croke, the freshman state representative for Illinois’s 12th district, first introduced HB 5779 in August with the intent of debating it in the legislative veto session scheduled for November. Croke wrote in her September newsletter about using the bill to enshrine abortion and assisted reproductive technology (ART), such as serial embryo creation and destruction, as “fundamental rights” for all Illinoisans. . .

The Democrat’s legislation, specifically, seeks to amend the state’s “Reproductive Health Act,” a law granting residents on-demand abortions, to add ART to the list of “fundamental rights” all adults in the state can demand.

That technology, according to the bill text, includes in vitro fertilization, gamete intrafallopian transfer, zygote intrafallopian transfer, embryo biopsy, preimplantation genetic diagnosis (which often yields incorrect results and leads to premature disposal of viable embryos), embryo freezing (which reduces the chance of an embryo surviving), problematic procedures such as supplying egg and sperm (which preys on young adults strapped for cash), and supplying embryos.

Woke Pentagon to Pay Travel Costs for Service Members to Get Abortions

/0 Comments/in , /by

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin issued a memo calling for the Pentagon to create travel allowances for service members to travel for so-called “reproductive health care” that is unavailable in their areas, which means that soldiers’ abortion-related travel would be funded by hard-working American taxpayers.

The memo calls for the DOD to “Establish travel and transportation allowances for Service members and their dependents, as appropriate and consistent with applicable federal law and operational requirements, and as necessary amend any applicable travel regulations, to facilitate official travel to access noncovered reproductive health care that is unavailable within the local area of a Service member’s permanent duty station.” . . .

The move is a response to a U.S. Supreme Court decision earlier this year that returned to the states the authority to determine how to handle the issue of abortion and whether to ban the practice. Some states have banned most abortions. (Read more from “Woke Pentagon to Pay Travel Costs for Service Members to Get Abortions” HERE)

Biden Tells DNC He’ll Sign Legislation Legalizing Abortion All the Way up to Birth (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

In a last-ditch attempt to distract midterm voters from Democrats’ disastrous legacy, President Joe Biden vowed to sign a bill that would legalize abortion through all nine months of pregnancy, something a majority of Republican and Democrat voters disagree with.

In a speech at a Democratic National Committee event on Tuesday, Biden promised that if Democrats keep their grip on Congress come Nov. 8., he will codify Roe v. Wade in January on what would be the decision’s 50th anniversary.

“Together will restore the right to choose for every woman and every state in America. So vote. You gotta get out the vote. We can do this if we vote, folks,” Biden said.

As for the Supreme Court’s Dobbs v. Jackson decision, Biden falsely stated it caused “women all across the country, starting in my house” to lose “a fundamental right.” Biden’s wife is far beyond child-bearing age and is a legal resident of a state that allows abortion through most of pregnancy. Dobbs did not outlaw abortion, but returned legislating on abortion to the states.

Stacey Abrams Elicits Fierce Backlash After Suggesting Abortion a Fix for Inflation Struggles

/0 Comments/in , /by

Georgia Democrat Stacey Abrams, who is running for governor, said during a television appearance Wednesday that more abortion access was a solution to combatting the nation’s crippling inflation rate, a remark that prompted widespread backlash from Republicans.

Abrams was asked on MSNBC’s Morning Joe:

While abortion is an issue, it nowhere reaches the level of interest of voters in terms of the cost of gas, food, bread, milk, things like that. What can a governor, what could you do as governor to alleviate the concerns of Georgia voters about those livability, daily, hourly issues they’re confronted with?

Abrams replied:

Let’s be clear. Having children is why you’re worried about your price for gas. It’s why you’re concerned about how much food costs. For women this is not a reductive issue. You can’t divorce being forced to carry an unwanted pregnancy from the economic realities of having a child.

Huh? Boston Globe Contributor Says She Had Her First Abortion at Age 11 Despite Never Being Pregnant

/0 Comments/in , /by

A contributor for the Boston Globe said in a recent article that she had her first abortion at the age of 11, despite having never been pregnant.

“I had my first abortion when I was 11 years old, and another five or six between the ages of 12 and 21. I have Vascular Ehlers-Danlos, an extremely rare genetic connective tissue disorder, one symptom of which is frequent and potentially fatal bleeding. The abortions were my treatment,” wrote Lora-Ellen McKinney.

“I have never been pregnant.”

. . .“Were I a young girl in most of the United States today, there would likely not be a pediatric gynecologist to treat my unusual, specific, and critical medical needs,” McKinney alleges. “Nor would I be allowed the procedures required to keep my challenged uterus healthy. This is because my treatments as dictated by doctors have now been politicized and miscast as something they are not.” . . .

Despite McKinney’s insistence that she would have simply died had she needed the procedure currently in the wake of Roe v. Wade being overturned, the overturning of Roe does not ban such procedures, according to The New York Times. (Read more from “Huh?

Yahoo! Finance: We Could Ease Diaper Shortage if Pregnancy Centers Would Quit Convincing Women to Keep Their Babies

/0 Comments/in , /by

Yahoo! Finance not only thinks that killing off babies in the womb is a solution for diaper poverty in the U.S. but also says Americans’ nappy woes should be blamed on pregnancy centers.

With the headline “America is facing a diaper crisis, and the anti-abortion movement is making it worse,” the article’s author, Senior Editor Sandra Salathe, alleges that “Roughly one-third of U.S. families are unable to afford diapers necessary to keep their babies dry and clean.”

Salathe neglects to mention that diaper prices, among other baby items such as formula, have been severely impacted by climbing inflation and the ongoing supply chain crisis under President Joe Biden. Instead, she says that pregnancy centers are somehow responsible for the “physical,” “mental,” and “economic” stress that families endure trying to keep their babies diapered.

“The coronavirus pandemic has played a heavy role in this crisis, and as households seek help from nonprofit organizations, anti-abortion centers (AACs) may be misrepresenting the extent of their services,” Salathe writes.

Using information fed to her by the leftist, pro-abortion activist group Equity Forward, Salathe amplifies claims that Heartbeat International, a Christian network of pro-life resource organizations, and the more than 3,000 lifesaving pregnancy centers in the U.S. are using their donations and public funding to pay for the upkeep of their services instead of helping vulnerable members of their community.

University of Pittsburgh’s Organ Harvester Spotted at Planned Parenthood After Denying Experiments on Aborted Babies

/0 Comments/in , /by

New footage and photographs from pro-life investigative journalists show a Center for Organ Recovery and Education (CORE) vehicle — a harvesting and tissue procurement company that supplies organs and tissue to the University of Pittsburgh for research — working at a Planned Parenthood facility in the city.

According to a report from the Center for Medical Progress, the CORE vehicle was spotted at the Pittsburgh abortion facility and caught on camera by affiliates of 40 Days for Life. A man wearing an identification badge was seen bringing what appeared to be “specimen bags from the Planned Parenthood abortion clinic and storing them in a cooler inside the CORE vehicle,” which was parked by the abortion mill’s “bubble zone” sidewalk entrance.

The University of Pittsburgh has been previously exposed for using aborted baby body parts for its grisly experiments, “including experiments grafting aborted baby scalps onto mice,” as The Federalist has reported. This study, titled “Development of humanized mouse and rat models with full-thickness human skin and autologous immune cells,” was funded by taxpayers through Anthony Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases under the National Institutes of Health.

The university denied these accusations under oath before the Pennsylvania House of Representatives during a 2021 hearing. “The Pitt Biospecimen CORE does not obtain tissue from Planned Parenthood or any other source other than UPMC facilities,” said Dr. Jeremy Rich, the UPMC Hillman Cancer Center’s deputy director of research, during the sworn testimony.

Texts Between Hershel Walker’s Abortion Accuser and His Wife Revealed

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Georgia Republican Senate hopeful Herschel Walker confirmed he knows the identity of the woman who claims the Republican paid for her abortion while the[y] were dating more than a decade ago, after the woman texted with his wife, Julie Walker, on Friday.

The text message was the first time the woman, who is the mother of one of his four children, mentioned to him or his wife directly that she had had an abortion, Walker told NBC News. It marks the latest twist in a controversy in which Walker, who has fashioned himself as a pro-life candidate and critic of absentee fathers, that has rocked his campaign this week. Walker has denied paying for the woman’s abortion since her story claiming as much went public.

“The first I knew about any of this was when some reporter asked me about an abortion. And I’m like, ‘No, that’s a lie.’ And then I was asked if I paid for an abortion, and I said No. I did not pay for an abortion,” Walker told the outlet. “I’m not saying she did or didn’t have one. I’m saying I don’t know anything about that.”

“Did you know Herschel paid for my abortion the first time? Or that he told me it wasn’t the ‘right time’ to have [current child]?” the woman wrote in the 9:54 a.m. text message to Julie Walker. . .

“This message makes me incredibly sad. You know I have continually tried to bridge a better relationship between you and Herschel putting [the child] first,” Julie Walker said. “I witness everyday Herschel pray for you and [child] and everyone in our family.” (Read more from “Texts Between Hershel Walker’s Abortion Accuser and His Wife Revealed” HERE)

Disturbed Dem Declares: ‘It Is a Fallacy That We Know Exactly When a Pregnancy Starts’ (VIDEO))

/0 Comments/in , /by

Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams claimed on Sunday that “it is a fallacy we know exactly when a pregnancy starts.”

Abrams has vehemently opposed Georgia’s “heartbeat” law banning abortions after six weeks or when a fetal heartbeat can be detected. Appearing on “Fox News Sunday,” Abrams was asked what she would consider an acceptable limit for abortion restrictions. But Abrams not only deflected, she refused to accept any “arbitrary” limits on abortion, saying that the point of viability itself is a decision made by a doctor.

“What I’ve always said is that abortion is a medical decision that should be made by a doctor and the woman, and that the point of viability, as determined by a doctor, should always take into consideration the life and health of the woman,” Abrams said. “That should be the standard. But the arbitrary standards of timelines ignore the medical reality that it is a fallacy we know exactly when a pregnancy starts, that we know exactly where we are in the system – I mean in the term.”

“What doctors will tell you is that they need to make decisions based on the woman they are treating,” she continued. “And what women will tell you is that they need the right to make the medical decisions that can save their lives and save their ability to control their bodies and their futures.”

Confused VP Harris Claims People Don’t Need to ‘Abandon Their Faith’ to Support Abortion

/0 Comments/in , /by

Americans don’t need to abandon their faith to support abortion rights in the U.S., Vice President Kamala Harris argued Wednesday.

Harris made the statement while speaking at an abortion rights conference in Connecticut, joining a panel discussion alongside Planned Parenthood president Alexis McGill Johnson and Rep. Jahana Hayes, D-Conn. Hayes pressed Harris to explain how a person might still support abortion rights even if their religious beliefs declare it immoral.

“What would you say to someone who understands why abortion should be a personal decision between a pregnant person and whomever else they decide to include in the conversation, but believes they can’t reconcile it with their faith?” Hayes asked, reading a question from the audience.

“That’s such an important point to raise,” Harris responded. “It is her choice and it should be her choice to make, if she chooses a consultation with a loved one, with a healthcare provider, with her faith leader.” (Read more from “Confused VP Harris Claims People Don’t Need to ‘Abandon Their Faith’ to Support Abortion” HERE)
