Planned Parenthood Is Outraged a New Netflix Movie Depicts Unborn Baby as Human Life

/0 Comments/in , /by

Planned Parenthood is outraged that “Blonde,” a new movie based on the life of Marilyn Monroe, dared show that an unborn human baby is in fact a life. . .

The movie shows Monroe — who is played by Ana de Armas — having two forced abortions that later haunted her. In one scene, one of the unborn children is shown speaking with Monroe.

“You won’t hurt me this time, will you?” the unborn child asks Monroe. . .

“As film and TV shapes many people’s understanding of sexual and reproductive health, it’s critical these depictions accurately portray women’s real decisions and experiences,” said Caren Spruch of Planned Parenthood Federation of America.

“While abortion is safe, essential health care, anti-abortion zealots have long contributed to abortion stigma by using medically inaccurate descriptions of fetuses and pregnancy. Andrew Dominik’s new film, ‘Blonde,’ bolsters their message with a CGI-talking fetus, depicted to look like a fully formed baby,” she complained.

Yikes: Democrat Candidate Endorses Abortion up Until Birth While Airing Footage of Her Son Being Born

/0 Comments/in , /by

Childbirth is no short of a miracle that demands celebration and awe. But for Democrat candidate Katie Darling, who is challenging Minority Whip Steve Scalise for Louisiana’s 1st Congressional District, giving birth was a great opportunity to peddle the demise of unborn babies in a campaign advertisement.

The ad starts with footage of the pregnant Darling navigating chores as she longingly awaits the arrival of her newest child. The baby is a boy who Darling says will join his older sister as a helper around the family’s farm.

Mere seconds into the ad, Darling’s seemingly perfect world is suddenly clouded when she remembers that babies in Louisiana have a strong chance at life outside of the womb thanks to the state’s near-total abortion ban.

“These days I worry about storms that are stronger and more frequent because of climate change, about our kids’ underperforming public schools, and about Louisiana’s new abortion ban, one of the strictest and most severe in the country,” Darling says in a voiceover.

Court Allows Arizona’s Near-Total Abortion Ban to Go Into Effect

/0 Comments/in , /by

Arizona’s Pima County Superior Court lifted an injunction Friday that had prevented enforcement of a state ban on abortion unless necessary to save a mother’s life, allowing the law to go into effect.

The court declared the state measure, now called Arizona Criminal Code § 13-3603, unconstitutional within weeks of the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision. After Roe v. Wade’s June reversal, Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich motioned the Pima County Superior Court to remove the decades-old injunction against enforcing the statute. . .

Arizona already passed a law restricting abortion after 15 weeks gestation earlier this year. The measure said it did not affect § 13-3603’s validity.

The court rejected plaintiff Planned Parenthood Arizona’s request for a modified injunction allowing licensed doctors to be exempt from § 13-3603. The organization said Friday the ruling was “sending Arizonans back 150 years” and its lawyers were mulling next steps.

Abortion Landscape: Pregnancy Centers See Uptick in Calls Since Dobbs; Doctors Weigh In on Fetal Pain

/0 Comments/in , /by

Since the Supreme Court decided on the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case in June, effectively overturning Roe v. Wade, the landscape of abortion in the United States has shifted as pregnancy centers receive more calls and the conversation changes.

States have moved to restrict abortion or increase access to the procedure. California’s Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom even took out advertisements in Republican-led states, telling women how to get an abortion in California.

Jessica Warner of Heartbeat International told The Daily Wire that pregnancy centers have seen a change since the Dobbs decision.

“According to an informal poll we conducted at the end of July, we found that 66% of centers have seen an increase in calls since the Dobbs decision,” she said over email. “Option Line, our 24/7 national pregnancy helpline, has not seen a significant increase or decrease in contacts who are at risk for abortion, however we have noted a slight increase in those who seem to be on the fence about abortion.”

Warner said they think there has not been more of an uptick “due to the censorship we have seen from Big Tech. Google has banned the [sic] our ability to advertise Abortion Pill Reversal since September of 2021, following the Texas Heartbeat Bill being put into law.” (Read more from “Abortion Landscape: Pregnancy Centers See Uptick in Calls Since Dobbs; Doctors Weigh In on Fetal Pain” HERE)

Abortion Giant Planned Parenthood Stealth Edits Fetal Heartbeat Fact Sheet

/0 Comments/in , /by

Abortion giant Planned Parenthood reportedly issued a stealth-edit of its fact sheet on fetal development to alter language appearing to support the idea that fetuses indeed have a heartbeat after six weeks in the womb.

Though it’s difficult to pinpoint exactly when Planned Parenthood edited the language, Fox News noted that the organization’s website said that babies have a heartbeat at six weeks as early as July 25 of this year. Life News also noted the change on August 22.

“A very basic beating heart and circulatory system develop,” the original fact-sheet said in its “what happens during week 5-6” section.

The edited section now says the following: “A part of the embryo starts to show cardiac activity. It sounds like a heartbeat on an ultrasound, but it’s not a fully-formed heart — it’s the earliest stage of the heart developing.”

Planned Parenthood’s new fact sheet appears to conflict with the National Library of Medicine, which says that five-week-old fetuses have a “brain, spinal cord, and heart” that begins to develop, which then “beats at a regular rhythm” around six weeks.

Dems Reportedly Dumping Big Bucks Into Disturbing Abortion-Related Advertising

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democrats have funneled a massive amount of money into advertising that references the issue of abortion, pouring more than an estimated $124 million this year into TV ads that refer to the topic, according to the Associated Press.

Leftists are outraged that the U.S. Supreme Court returned to the states the authority to decide how to regulate the issue of abortion. A high court opinion released earlier this year declared, “The Constitution does not prohibit the citizens of each State from regulating or prohibiting abortion. Roe and Casey arrogated that authority. We now overrule those decisions and return that authority to the people and their elected representatives.”

AP — which noted that the estimated spending amounts are connected to an AP analysis of data supplied by AdImpact — reported that following the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, about a third of TV ad spending from Democrats and their allies has pertained to abortion. . .

Democrats’ massive outlays for abortion-related TV ads this year through September 18 exceed the GOP’s national spending for ads pertaining to the economy, crime, and immigration, according to the outlet.

Pro-Life Democrat Says Party Pressured Him to Suspend Campaign for Pro-Abortion Opponent

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Democratic candidate for North Dakota’s only open House seat suspended his campaign on Sunday after pressure from his party to step aside for a pro-abortion candidate.

Mark Haugen, a pro-life Democrat, shared his resignation announcement on Twitter. He told local outlets that he “doesn’t see a viable path forward to winning the race” for North Dakota’s seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. A pro-abortion candidate, former Miss America Cara Mund, recently entered the race last month.

“When the Supreme Court decision came out, that further kind of solidified that there may be some issues here with my candidacy. I’ve been pro-life since the 1990s. I never hid it. I ran for the Legislature in 1996,” Haugen told local outlet KFYR. He added that he received several phone calls from Democrats asking him to consider pulling out of the race, especially after Mund announced her candidacy in recent weeks.

KFYR noted that Mund is running as a pro-abortion Independent and must submit 1,000 signatures to the Secretary of State’s office to qualify for the November ballot. (Read more from “Pro-Life Democrat Says Party Pressured Him to Suspend Campaign for Pro-Abortion Opponent” HERE)

Catholic Nancy Pelosi Declares It Is ‘Sinful’ to Restrict Abortion

/0 Comments/in , /by

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi asserted last week that restricting abortion is “sinful,” another clear indication she has broken from the teachings of the Catholic church.

Speaking at a “reproductive health roundtable discussion” on Aug. 26, Pelosi claimed that restricting abortion rights is a “sinful” assault on women.

“The fact that this is such an assault on women of color and women — lower income families is just sinful. It’s sinful,” Pelosi said.

“It‘s wrong that they would be able to say to women what they think women should be doing with their lives and their bodies,” she added. “But it’s sinful, the injustice of it all.”

Earlier in the event, Pelosi said that “extreme MAGA Republicans” have been “emboldened by the radical Supreme Court.” She accused such people of “inflicting unimaginable pain on women and their families.” Pelosi even claimed that “American women are not as free as their mothers and their grandmothers were.” (Read more from “Catholic Nancy Pelosi Declares It Is ‘Sinful’ to Restrict Abortion” HERE)

‘Straight Pride’ Marchers, LGBTQ Counter-Protesters Clash Outside Abortion Clinic

/0 Comments/in , /by

A march celebrating “straight pride” outside of an abortion clinic in California devolved into violence as participants clashed with more than 200 pro-LGBTQ and pro-choice counter-protesters, according to a report.

The National Straight Pride Coalition, which organized the event, held for the fourth consecutive year in Modesto on Saturday, described its cause as backing heterosexuality, the “natural nuclear family,” Western civilization, Caucasians, Christianity and nationalism.

The handful of straight pride demonstrators was joined by members of the far-right group Proud Boys outside of a Planned Parenthood building ahead of the rally’s start — and were met by counter-protesters draped in rainbow flags and waving signs reading “Fascists not welcome here,” the Modesto Bee reported.

Police officers separated the rally-goers from the opponents across the street, but physical conflict ensued when a Proud Boy attempted to bypass the cops, and counter-protesters retaliated by chucking water bottles, the Bee reported. . .

The Modesto Police Department warned on Facebook around 11:17 a.m. local time, that there was “an unlawful assembly of demonstrators along McHenry Avenue” and warned people to stand clear of the area.

“It is as if the president of the Jewish Anti-Defamation League declared itself in favor of the holocaust,” wrote Tommaso Scandroglio, in a piece for La Nuova Bussola Quotidiana. (Read more from “Vatican Chief Praises Italy’s Law Legalizing Abortion as a ‘Pillar of Society’” HERE)
