Ob-Gyn: No, The Dobbs Decision Does Not Put Women’s Lives In Danger

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .As a board-certified ob-gyn, I’ve delivered more than 5,000 babies and walked alongside thousands of women experiencing difficult pregnancies, including women facing life-threatening complications. Modern medical advances mean we don’t have to choose between the mother and her baby, even in dangerous pregnancies. . .

The use of abortion in the case of a life-threatening pregnancy complication typically involves a dilation and evacuation (D&E) procedure, more commonly referred to as a “dismemberment” abortion. In contrast, true medical care seeks to save both the unborn baby and the mother.

Sometimes, it’s necessary to deliver a baby preterm, and sadly the baby doesn’t always survive. But my goal is always to save both the young unborn child and the mother. If the baby is not able to survive, the compassionate and best thing to do is to deliver the baby in a medically standard way (such as induction or C-section), so the mother is able to hold her child and grieve her loss. That’s the compassion and dignity that the medically unnecessary act of abortion robs a mother.

The American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists affirms: “Ectopic pregnancy is a dangerous condition that requires that the pregnancy end.” As soon as it’s diagnosed, physicians will treat an ectopic pregnancy because the mother’s life is at risk, a routine obstetric procedure that is not jeopardized by Dobbs.

This is lifesaving medical care. It is not an elective abortion. (Read more from “Ob-Gyn: No, the Dobbs Decision Does Not Put Women’s Lives in Danger” HERE)

The Crybaby Leftist Mind

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Modern progressives assume moral and intellectual authority.

Consequently, their supposedly superior ends naturally justify almost any means necessary to achieve them.

Among the elite, the Democrats’ “blue wall” states were once considered a testament to the wisdom of the Electoral College. When that wall crumbled in 2016 to Donald Trump, the Electoral College suddenly was blasted as a relic of our anti-democratic Founders.

The nine-person Supreme Court was once beloved. On issues like abortion, school prayer, same-sex marriage, pornography, and Miranda rights, the left cheered the court as it made the law and ignored legislatures and presidents. . .

Suddenly a narrow constructionist majority has returned matters of abortion to the states. And the once-beloved court is being slandered by leftist insurrectionists as illegitimate. (Read more from “The Crybaby Leftist Mind” HERE)

Governor Won’t Let ‘Tragedy’ of Child Rape Dictate Abortion Access (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD) held firm when pressed to consider a recent “tragedy” involving child rape while conversing about the hot-button issue of abortion access.

South Dakota is one of 13 states with a “trigger” law designed to go into effect once the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, which came to fruition last month. The state’s ban, which was signed into law in 2005, prohibits all abortions except to save the life of the mother.

Focusing on there not being an exception for rape, CNN’s Dana Bash asked Noem on Sunday to “be clear” as to whether South Dakota would “force” the same 10-year-old girl who was recently denied an abortion in Ohio to have a baby.

After some back-and-forth, Noem stood by her state’s position. “I don’t believe a tragic situation should be perpetuated by another tragedy, and so there’s more that we’ve got to do to make sure that we really are living a life that says, ‘Every life is precious.’ Especially innocent lives that have been shattered like that 10-year-old girl,” she said.

Insurance Company Offers Employees Money for Birth, Adoption

/0 Comments/in , /by

While many high-profile companies are offering employees money for abortion tourism in the wake of Roe v. Wade being overturned, a Texas-based insurance company is taking the opposite approach by allocating funds to new parents instead.

Buffer Insurance, a small company headquartered in Southlake, Texas, took a stand for both biological and adoptive parents and mentioned the Supreme Court decision when they announced the new initiative on Facebook.

They shared:

How Buffer responds to Roe v. Wade: Buffer will pay the medical costs for our employees who birth babies [and] provide paid time off for employees to have maternity & paternity leave. Buffer will pay for the medical costs associated with adopting a baby.

Judge Blocks Texas Trigger Law From Going Into Effect, Rules Abortions Can Proceed

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Texas county judge sided with abortion providers and temporarily blocked the enforcement of a pre-Roe v. Wade law Tuesday, allowing clinics to perform abortion procedures in the state.

The Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, allowing a dormant 1925 law that outlawed abortion in Texas to take effect, according to Reuters. However, a Harris County judge halted the enforcement of the law.

With Roe overturned, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton demanded that the 1925 law be put back in place and enforced across the state, Reuters reported.

“Prosecutors may choose to immediately pursue criminal prosecutions based on violations of Texas abortion prohibitions predating Roe that were never repealed by the Texas Legislature,” Paxton said in a statement Friday. “Although these statutes were unenforceable while Roe was on the books, they are still Texas law.”

Fearing prosecution under the 1925 statute, Texas abortion clinics filed a lawsuit Monday pleading for a temporary restraining order to block the application of the preexisting ban. (Read more from “Judge Blocks Texas Trigger Law From Going Into Effect, Rules Abortions Can Proceed” HERE)

VP Harris Gives Chillingly Unclear Interview on Biden Admin Expanding Abortion (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Monday afternoon, Vice President Kamala Harris sat down for an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash. Predictably, they discussed the fallout from the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade with the Dobbs v. Jackson decision.

The Biden administration has been looking to do what it can to expand abortion access despite the Dobbs decision. As the vice president revealed at one point during Monday’s interview, they are “looking at” what Bash described as “financial resources” in the form of a voucher program for women looking to travel to other states to have an abortion if it is not as easily accessible in their home state.

Harris called Bash’s question about the vouchers “a very important point” and explained it had to do with “ensuring women have the ability to actually travel without impairment.”

Biden’s HHS Unveils Website Directing Underage Women to Resources to Obtain an Abortion

/0 Comments/in , /by

Following the Supreme Court’s historic ruling overturning Roe v. Wade, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services launched a website to direct Americans to abortion and contraceptive services, including for minors.

The HHS’ website, ReproductiveRights.gov, gives visitors insight on surgical and medication abortions. Now that the issue of abortion was returned to the states, the laws pertaining to abortion vary depending on where a woman seeking an abortion lives.

“Following the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, access to abortion will depend on the state you live in even more than before,” the government website states. It then dives into the different types of abortion and how to obtain each kind.

“Medication abortion has been approved by the FDA since 2000 as a safe and effective option. Federal regulation permits medication abortion to be dispensed by telehealth and sent by mail via certified prescribers and pharmacies, in addition to in-person dispensing in clinics, medical offices, and hospitals,” the website states, and directs visitors to utilize the website AbortionFinder.org.

AbortionFinder.org helps women, including those 15 and younger, locate an abortion provider close to where they live. In addition, it helps women determine if they should obtain abortion pills via “telehealth,” meaning the patient does not meet with a doctor in-person to obtain or administer the pills.

Gubernatorial Candidate Chris Kurka Compares Dunleavy and Pierce to Pontious Pilot: Declares Them Unfit for Service

/0 Comments/in , /by

In the same week the U.S. Supreme Court announced its watershed decision to overturn Roe vs. Wade, and to give the issue back to states to decide for themselves, Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy issued a statement in which he washed his hands of any executive power, authority, or commitment to use his position to stop the killing of preborn children in Alaska.

Likewise in a statement released to the Alaska Watchman, Gubernatorial Candidate Charlie Pierce refused to make any commitment to defend the pre-born, or to state that the practice abortion is even wrong.

When asked to weigh-in concerning his opponents’ abortion statements, pro-life champion and Gubernatorial Candidate Christopher Kurka said, “What further proof is needed for Alaskans to realize Dunleavy and Pierce are not conservatives? They are both spineless cowards. SCOTUS just told them ‘You decide the legality of abortion in your own state’ and they retreated from the field before the fight against the murderous left in this state has even begun!”

Presenting copies of an “Alaska Right to Life, PAC Personhood Candidate Pledge,” signed by Governor Dunleavy on February 23, 2012, and on June 17, 2014; Kurka said, “Mike Dunleavy refuses to stop state funding for abortion and is a Liar, Oath Breaker, and Coward who must be stripped of the honor of serving a second term as Alaska’s Governor.”

According to the Pledge, which is routinely given to candidates seeking the Alaska Right to Life Endorsement and the support of Pro-life Voters, the document specifically spells-out that the petitioning candidate promises to, “affirm my support for a Human Life Amendment to the Alaska Constitution and other legislation and actions that would support these principals.”

To drive his point home for pro-life voters who may remain undecided on who to vote for, Kurka made a historical comparison to another governor stating:

“Community leaders and legal elites once asked a Roman Governor to make a difficult moral decision; to either defend the life of an innocent man, or release a murderous man from prison, and turn the innocent man over to the mob to be murdered. Though he knew it was wrong to turn the man over, he ignored his conscience and his duty to govern justly, literally washing his hands of the matter, he told the mob ‘You decide.’ As potential Governors of Alaska, both Dunleavy and Pierce have already communicated they will follow the example set by Governor Pilot so many years ago.”

According to Kurka, “A vote for the Kurka/Hueper ticket is a vote for Life. If you want more broken promises and death vote for Charlie and Mike.

Judge Blocks State’s Abortion Ban From Going Into Effect

/0 Comments/in , /by

Orleans Parish Civil District Judge Robin Giarrusso granted a temporary restraining order Monday that blocks Louisiana’s abortion ban from going into effect after the U.S. Supreme Court’s Friday decision that sent abortion lawmaking back to state legislatures.

Hope Medical Group for Women, an abortion clinic in Shreveport, Louisiana, filed a petition after the SCOTUS decision activated the state’s “trigger law,” making abortion illegal in the state, reported KPLC.

The Center for Reproductive Rights (CRR) worked with Boies Schiller Flexner LLP and Ellie Schilling to represent the abortion clinic, according to the outlet.

Giarrusso granted a temporary restraining order of the enforcement of the abortion ban allowing Lousiana clinics to continue performing abortions without fear of violating the state law banning abortion, KPLC reported.

More Than 2 Dozen States to Restrict Abortions

/0 Comments/in , /by

Thirteen states in the country are poised to enact immediate abortion bans and at least 13 more could quickly follow suit after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade on Friday, leaving abortion rights up to the states to decide.

At least 13 states in the country have so-called “trigger laws” banning most abortions that will take effect immediately or within weeks of Roe v. Wade being overturned.

According to the Guttmacher Institute, a pro-abortion rights research group, those states are Arkansas, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Wyoming, which just passed its trigger law in April.

There are also five additional states – Alabama, Arizona, Michigan, West Virginia and Wisconsin – that still have an abortion ban on the books from before Roe v. Wade that will go into effect now that the 1973 landmark law is overturned.

The Democratic governors of Michigan and Wisconsin have pushed back against those laws: Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer filed a lawsuit in April asking the Michigan Supreme Court to stop enforcement of the state’s 1931 abortion ban, and Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers has called for the repeal of an 1849 state law that makes abortion a felony. (Read more from “More Than 2 Dozen States to Restrict Abortions” HERE)
