Former 911 Responder Shares Horror Stories Of Mail-Order Abortions

/3 Comments/in , /by

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

/3 Comments/in , /by

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)

Trump Administration Reviews $88M in Pandemic Loans to Abortion Giant Planned Parenthood

/1 Comment/in , /by

The Small Business Administration (SBA) is probing whether affiliates of abortion giant Planned Parenthood illegally received $88 million in Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“At the height of the pandemic, affiliates of Planned Parenthood took $88 million in taxpayer dollars to fund their abortion-on-demand agenda—and the Biden administration made sure they got nearly every cent forgiven, even after the first Trump administration protested,” SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler told The Daily Signal.

“Six years later, the Trump SBA holds the same conviction: Planned Parenthood Federation of America was never eligible to receive a dime in pandemic-era relief from taxpayers,” she added.

The SBA’s review comes the week of the March for Life, where thousands of pro-life advocates travel to Washington, DC, to advocate for the unborn.

According to The Daily Signal’s Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell, the SBA sent letters to 38 affiliates of Planned Parenthood Federation of America asking them to prove they were eligible for the millions they obtained in COVID-era relief. The report notes that the Biden administration also forgave 34 loans to Planned Parenthood affiliates under the PPP program.

‘Federal Dollars Should Not Pay for Abortion, Period’: Sen. Cassidy Doubles Down on Hyde, Abortion Pill Restrictions

/0 Comments/in , /by

Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) is pushing back against what he sees as growing uncertainty in Washington over abortion policy, rejecting any flexibility on federal abortion funding and warning against loosening long-standing pro-life protections.

“Federal dollars should not pay for abortion, period,” Cassidy told Blaze News.

Cassidy made the remarks in response to questions from Rebeka Zeljko of Blaze News following a Senate hearing that examined chemical abortion and federal health policy.

President Donald Trump said pro-life advocates may need to be “flexible” on the Hyde Amendment, a decades-old provision that prevents taxpayer dollars from being used to pay for most abortions.

For many conservatives, Hyde has long been viewed as one of the final federal safeguards limiting government involvement in abortion.

Report: Dept. of Veterans Affairs Orders End to Abortions, Abortion Counseling at Facilities

/1 Comment/in , /by

In a sweeping reversal to the Biden administration’s pro-abortion agenda, the Trump administration has barred the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) from aborting the unborn babies of veterans and their dependents.

The restriction follows a memo from Joshua Craddock, deputy assistant attorney general of the Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) on December 18 to the VA stating that the department is not allowed to perform abortions under any provision of the law, the Hill reported.

The memo revoked a Biden-era OLC opinion that allowed the VA to provide abortions and abortion counseling to pregnant veterans and their dependents. The pro-abortion Biden administration promulgated a rule in September 2022 allowing veterans and covered dependents to obtain taxpayer-funded abortions in cases of rape and incest and to protect the life or health of the pregnant woman, as well as abortion counseling. The Biden administration issued the rule in response to the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision, which overturned Roe v. Wade, a 1973 ruling that had invented a constitutional right to abortion.

Screenshots purportedly obtained by the outlet of a separate internal VA memo, dated December 22 and sent to the leaders of the department’s 18 regional integrated service networks, states that the agency “must comply” with the OLC’s memo and that the VA will no longer provide abortions or abortion counseling “effective immediately.”

The internal memo also notes that nothing about the VA’s policy “prohibit[s] providing care to pregnant women in life-threatening circumstances, including treatment for ectopic pregnancies or miscarriages.” (Read more from “Report: Dept. of Veterans Affairs Orders End to Abortions, Abortion Counseling at Facilities” HERE)

Surgeon Allegedly Shoved Crushed Abortion Pills Into Pregnant Girlfriend’s Mouth While She Slept

/0 Comments/in , /by

An Ohio surgeon is accused of stuffing crushed abortion pills into his girlfriend’s mouth while she slept after he learned she was pregnant — killing her [baby].

Hassan-James Abbas, a 32-year-old surgical resident at the University of Toledo, was able to easily obtain the abortion-inducing pills under his estranged wife’s name from from a telemedicine doctor, according to officials.

He then forced the medication into his girlfriend’s mouth last year, according to officials.

“He got on top of me and put his fingers in my mouth,” his girlfriend told WTOL 11.

“I laid there and I went back and forth in my head [wondering] if he was gonna kill me,” she added.

“That was my biggest thought, that he was going to kill me.” (Read more from “Surgeon Allegedly Shoved Crushed Abortion Pills Into Pregnant Girlfriend’s Mouth While She Slept” HERE)

New Law Lets Texans Sue Out-Of-State Dealers For Trafficking Abortion Drugs

/0 Comments/in , /by

A new law designed to combat Democrat laws shielding abortion drug traffickers who take advantage of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s radically expanded mail-order mifepristone allowances went into effect on Thursday in Texas.

Lone Star legislators passed House Bill 7 in September to create a punishment mechanism for illegal interstate abortion pill transactions and the dangerous and deadly consequences they hold for women and their unborn children.

Under the new statute, private citizens are permitted to sue out-of-state mifepristone prescribers, manufacturers, and distributors, such as pharmacies, for “an amount of not less than $100,000” for each violation of the state’s ban on abortion pills. Enforcement is modeled after Texas’ successful 2021 heartbeat bill, which virtually eliminated abortion in the state by granting anyone outside of the government to bring a civil action against anyone who performs or aids and abets ending a life in the womb.

Abortion activists have already dubbed the law a “dangerous” “attack” fueled by “fearmongering and intimidation.” Media such as the Houston Chronicle and The Guardian joined the dogpile with articles framing the law as a “bounty hunter” scheme.

“Abortion pill underground” coordinators, such as the Massachusetts Medication Abortion Access Project (MAP), have also committed in print and online to continue their drug smuggling schemes regardless of potential consequences.

Fairfax County Schools Double Down After Whistleblower Exposes Secret Student Abortions

/0 Comments/in , /by

Back in August, a Fairfax County, VA teacher blew the whistle on her district helping girls get abortions without parental knowledge or consent.

As Townhall reported at the time, the district denied knowing anything about the abortions until recently, despite the whistleblower teacher making officials aware of them on multiple prior occasions.

Fairfax County Public School teachers have been helping students obtain abortions without the knowledge and consent of their parents, according to a whistleblower who recently exposed the scandal.

Now, the school district is claiming they just learned of the matter, even though the whistleblower, Centrevile High School teacher Zenaida Perez, had brought it to their attention on multiple occasions.

It’s a scandal and possibly criminal.

Now, the Fairfax Schools have published what amounts to a “Mean Girls” style burn book.

RFK Jr. Says FDA Is Investigating Dangerous Abortion Pill After Revealing Biden Admin ‘Twisted The Data’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. confirmed in a Senate Finance Committee hearing Thursday that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is actively reviewing the drug responsible for more than half of the nation’s abortions.

“We’re getting data in all the time, new data that we’re reviewing,” Kennedy told Republican Sen. James Lankford. “And we know that during the Biden administration, they actually twisted the data to bury one of the safety signals with a very high safety signal, around 11 percent.”

Kennedy not only committed to ensuring “that that doesn’t happen anymore,” but also said “we’re producing … science and gold standard science on that.”

Kennedy affirmed in a later exchange with Montana Sen. Steve Daines that he was unsure of the type of studies FDA Commissioner Marty Makary and his agency are pursuing, but that they are “progressing” and “ongoing.”

“I know I talked to Marty Makary about it yesterday, and he said those studies are progressing and that they’re ongoing,” Kennedy said. (Read more from “RFK Jr. Says FDA Is Investigating Dangerous Abortion Pill After Revealing Biden Admin ‘Twisted The Data’” HERE)

Study Links Abortion to Higher Risk of Psychiatric Hospitalization

/13 Comments/in , /by

A recent study published in the Journal of Psychiatric Research has found that women who undergo induced abortion face more than twice the risk of psychiatric hospitalization compared to women who give birth.

The study, conducted in Quebec, Canada, analyzed more than 1.2 million pregnancies over a period of up to 17 years. Researchers reported that, per 10,000 person-years, 104 women who had abortions were hospitalized for mental health issues—including psychiatric disorders, substance abuse, and suicide attempts—compared to 42 women who gave birth.

The data also showed that women who had multiple abortions were at greater risk of hospitalization than those experiencing their first abortion. The likelihood of psychiatric hospitalization was highest within the first five years following an abortion. Researchers noted that women with preexisting mental health conditions were more vulnerable, and the study adjusted its findings to account for this factor.

The Quebec study is not the first to suggest a connection between abortion and subsequent mental health challenges. A 2023 study using Medicaid data similarly reported that women who had a first-pregnancy abortion were at higher risk of needing mental health treatment, particularly inpatient care, than those who carried to term.

Separate research has also highlighted medical risks associated with abortion procedures. Reports indicate that more than 10 percent of women who take the chemical abortion drug mifepristone experience serious adverse events, such as hemorrhaging or sepsis. Pro-life groups and some medical organizations have argued that the risks of mifepristone are underreported by both the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the drug’s manufacturer, Danco Laboratories.
