Abortion War Returns to Supreme Court in 2021

/0 Comments/in , /by

For the first time since President Trump’s three Supreme Court nominees were seated, giving the court what is widely regarded as a 6-3 conservative majority, the justices will hear an abortion case.

The case is a bid by the Kentucky attorney to intervene in a lawsuit against a state abortion ban, which the current Democratic governor refuses to defend.

Politico reported “the court’s new conservative supermajority” will be watched for signs of whether it wants to revisit abortion and review cases such as the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision.

The Kentucky case, Cameron v. EMW Women’s Surgical Center, is about the state’s 2018 ban on an abortion procedure in which the unborn infant is dismembered.

The law was signed by Republican Gov. Matt Bevin, but federal courts blocked its implementation and Bevin’s successor, Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear, refuses to defend it. (Read more from “Abortion War Returns to Supreme Court in 2021” HERE)

Arkansas Governor Admits: I Signed Near-Total Abortion Ban as ‘Direct Challenge’ To Roe v. Wade

/1 Comment/in , /by

Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R) declared Sunday that he signed into law one of the country’s most restrictive abortion bills as a direct challenge to Roe v. Wade. . .

Signed into law earlier this month, the Arkansas Unborn Child Protection Act bans all abortions in the state with just one exception — if the controversial procedure would save the life of the mother.

That means abortions on account of rape or incest are not legally permissible under the law. Those circumstances typically account for fewer than 1.5% of all abortions.

Speaking on CNN’s “State of the Union,” the Republican governor admitted the law contradicts current Supreme Court precedent, but expressed hope it will be the impetus that forces the Supreme Court to review abortion rights.

In fact, Hutchinson said the “whole design” of the law was to challenge abortion rights. (Read more from “Arkansas Governor Admits: I Signed Near-Total Abortion Ban as ‘Direct Challenge’ To Roe v. Wade” HERE)

Top Biden Nominee Claims Taxpayer-Funded Abortion Is Necessary For ‘Racial Justice’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden’s nominee for deputy budget director, Shalanda Young, believes that abortion is “a matter of economic and racial justice.”

News of Young’s position on abortion was made public after her nomination was advanced out of the Senate Budget Committee and Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee down party lines last week. . .

Despite having earned general bipartisan support on Capitol Hill, 15 of the 18 Republicans who sit on both committees ultimately voted against advancing Young’s nomination.

According to the New York Post, the Republican senators who voted against Young cited her perspective toward the Hyde Amendment, the law that prohibits federal tax dollars from funding abortions except in cases of rape, incest, or to save the life of the mother.

Young told senators that eliminating the Hyde Amendment is necessary to promote “racial justice.” (Read more from “Top Biden Nominee Claims Taxpayer-Funded Abortion Is Necessary For ‘Racial Justice'” HERE)

Is Biden Going to Force Christian Doctors to Perform Abortions?

/1 Comment/in , /by

Would President Biden force doctors to perform abortions and “sex-reassignment” surgeries against their religious beliefs?

White House press secretary Jen Psaki would not say when asked by a reporter from the Catholic network EWTN on Tuesday.

The reporter noted concerns that “pregnancy discrimination” measures in the Equality Act, which has passed the House, “would force doctors to perform gender transition surgeries and sterilizations, again, even if it violates their conscience.”

“What does the president, President Biden, say about those concerns?” the reporter asked.

“The president’s been a long supporter of Roe v. Wade. It has been his consistent belief that should be law, and he will fight to continue to protect that as being law,” Psaki replied. (Read more from “Is Biden Going to Force Christian Doctors to Perform Abortions?” HERE)

New Bill Would Grant Biological Fathers Veto Power Over Abortion

/1 Comment/in , /by

Tennessee lawmakers have proposed a bill that would enable a biological father to stop a woman from getting an abortion.

Republican state Sen. Mark Pody introduced SB0494 on Feb. 8 that calls for:

As introduced, permits a person to petition a court for an injunction to prohibit a woman who is pregnant with the person’s unborn child from obtaining an abortion; requires the petitioner to execute a voluntary acknowledgement of paternity that is not subject to being rescinded or challenged.

Once the injunction is issued, the court must hold a hearing with both parties within 14 days, The Hill reported. Should the woman violate the injunction and get an abortion, “The court may hold the respondent in civil or criminal contempt and punish the respondent in accordance with the law.”

“The voluntary acknowledgement of paternity may be executed without the signature of the child’s mother,” the bill states. “The voluntary acknowledgement of paternity must be proven by filing a certified copy with the court.” (Read more from “New Bill Would Grant Biological Fathers Veto Power Over Abortion” HERE)

State Passes Bill Banning Nearly All Abortions — and Democrats Throw a Temper Tantrum (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

The South Carolina state legislature passed a major piece of legislation Wednesday banning nearly all abortions in the state — and now the bill is on its way to the governor’s desk to be signed into law.

The bill, known as the “South Carolina Fetal Heartbeat and Protection from Abortion Act,” passed the state House by a vote of 79 to 35 Wednesday afternoon, according to the Associated Press. Late last month, the state Senate voted 30 to 13 in favor of the proposal.

Under the legislation, doctors are required to perform ultrasounds on pregnant mothers seeking an abortion to check if the baby has a heartbeat. Should a heartbeat be detected, the abortion is outlawed except for in rare cases where the pregnancy was caused by rape or incest or the mother’s life is in danger. . .

The State reported that nearly every Democratic member of the House walked out of the chamber as the bill was taken up for debate on Wednesday. Only a few Democrats remained in the chamber for the debate.

One lawmaker, Rep. Jonathan Hill, even stormed out of the building while tossing his amendments to the proposal up in the air. As he left, Republican House Speaker Jay Lucas reportedly said, “If you want to engage in such childish behavior the sergeants will make sure you’re not here with us.”

Lawmakers Introducing Bill Protecting Children With Down Syndrome From Extermination

/0 Comments/in , /by

Members of Congress will be reintroducing a ban on abortion based on a prenatal diagnosis of Down syndrome on Friday, the same day as the virtual March for Life.

The legislation being introduced by Rep. Ron Estes, R-Kan., and Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., would permit relatives of aborted children killed based on a Down syndrome diagnosis to bring civil action against the abortion performers. The bill specifies that the mother of the child cannot be prosecuted.

Children with Down syndrome are being targeted and exterminated at alarming rates. In the United States, 67 percent of babies with a Down syndrome diagnosis are aborted. In European countries, it’s worse. A disturbing 98 percent of babies with this diagnosis are aborted in Denmark and nearly 100 percent in Iceland. . .

If passed, the upcoming bill, endorsed by Susan B. Anthony List, National Right to Life, and National Pro-Life Alliance, will help curtail the genocidal annihilation of some of the least powerful people among us.

‘Catholic’ Biden Marks Roe V. Wade Anniversary With Pledge to Make Abortion Available for ‘Everyone’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden, who calls himself Catholic, marked the 48th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision that brought legal abortion to all of America with a pledge that he will make sure that “everyone” who wants it has access to the procedure of killing their preborn children.

“In the past four years, reproductive health, including the right to choose, has been under relentless and extreme attack. We are deeply committed to making sure everyone has access to care — including reproductive health care — regardless of income, race, zip code, health insurance status, or immigration status,” said Biden via a White House Press Office statement that was attributed to both Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

“The Biden-Harris Administration is committed to codifying Roe v. Wade and appointing judges that respect foundational precedents like Roe. We are also committed to ensuring that we work to eliminate maternal and infant health disparities, increase access to contraception, and support families economically so that all parents can raise their families with dignity. This commitment extends to our critical work on health outcomes around the world,” the statement continued.

“As the Biden-Harris Administration begins in this critical moment, now is the time to rededicate ourselves to ensuring that all individuals have access to the health care they need,” the statement concluded.

Disturbing: Pro-Abortion Protesters Storm Pro-Life Mass in Ohio (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

A group of pro-abortion activists … stormed St. Joseph Cathedral in downtown Columbus, Ohio, and disrupted a pro-life Mass that was being celebrated at the time.

During Mass, which was celebrated by local Bishop Robert J. Brennan, eight activists rushed into the Cathedral and then paraded around the pews before reaching the altar, displaying posters with messages that read: “Fund abortion, not cops,” and, “Abortion on demand, end Hyde now.”

The Hyde Amendment is a legislative provision barring the use of federal funds to pay for abortion, with the exception of certain cases like incest or rape. Pro-abortion President Joe Biden had long supported the Hyde Amendment, but in 2019 changed his position to appease radical pro-abortion voters.

The mostly female group inside St. Joseph Cathedral chanted, “Two, four, six, eight, this Church teaches hate,” as they marched around the church before scuffling with police and security, who were trying to escort the protestors out.

Biden to Reverse Policy Preventing Taxpayer Dollars From Funding Abortions Abroad

/1 Comment/in , /by

President Biden is set to allow federal funds to be used for abortions abroad, by rolling back the Mexico City Policy renewed by the Trump administration, Dr. Anthony Fauci said.

“It will be our policy to support women’s and girls’ sexual and reproductive health and reproductive rights in the United States, as well as globally,” Fauci said during remarks to the World Health Organization. “To that end, President Biden will be revoking the Mexico City Policy in the coming days, as part of his broader commitment to protect women’s health and advance gender equality at home and around the world.”
