Hear Planned Parenthood Agree to Take Money to Abort Black Baby

/0 Comments/in , /by

When Justice Clarence Thomas on Tuesday urged the U.S. Supreme Court to act on various abortion-law cases because of the industry’s threat “to achieve eugenic goals,” one pro-life group immediately reached into its archives.

Live Action posted a video in which Planned Parenthood representatives agree to accept a donation to pay for the abortion of a black baby. . .

Among the responses was “absolutely” and, “We would certainly, uh, make sure that that gift was earmarked specifically for that purpose.”

An employee said it was “understandable” when the “donor” on the telephone said, “We just think, you know the – the – the less – the less black kids out there, the better.”

Twitter news aggregator Twitchy wrote: “In reality, Planned Parenthood is continuing founder and eugenicist Margaret Sanger’s mission to abort poor and minority babies in the name of ‘racial betterment.’

Now Disney Wants to Boycott Georgia

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Daily Wire. On Wednesday, CEO of the Walt Disney Co. Bob Iger signaled a pull-out in Georgia over the state’s new “heartbeat” legislation, which bans abortion after unborn babies’ heartbeats are detected (around six-weeks gestation). . .

“I think many people who work for us will not want to work there, and we will have to heed their wishes in that regard. Right now we are watching it very carefully,” the CEO continued.

“I don’t see how it’s practical for us to continue to shoot there” if the law goes into effect, Iger added.

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, a Republican, signed the pro-life bill into law on May 7, ignoring threats of a Hollywood boycott spearheaded by actress Alyssa Milano. In March, some 50 actors signed onto a letter penned by the abortion activist to Georgia House Speaker David Ralston and the governor threatening a boycott. Georgia has become a magnet for Hollywood projects in large part due to the state’s 30% tax rebate for film and TV production.

Undeterred, Kemp praised the legislation as “a declaration that all life has value, that all life matters, and that all life is worthy of protection.” (Read more from “Now Disney Wants to Boycott Georgia” HERE)

WarnerMedia Joins Disney and Netflix in Considering Georgia Retreat over Abortion Law

By Deadline. A day after Disney CEO Bob Iger said it would be “difficult” for the media giant to produce TV shows and films in Georgia given its strict new abortion law, WarnerMedia has said it will also pull out of the law survives legal challenges.

“We operate and produce work in many states and within several countries at any given time and while that doesn’t mean we agree with every position taken by a state or a country and their leaders, we do respect due process,” the company said in a statement provided to Deadline. “We will watch the situation closely and if the new law holds we will reconsider Georgia as the home to any new productions. As is always the case, we will work closely with our production partners and talent to determine how and where to shoot any given project.” (Read more from “WarnerMedia Joins Disney and Netflix in Considering Georgia Retreat over Abortion Law” HERE)

Senator Claims Abortion Activist Threatened to ‘Rape’ His Wife over Alabama Abortion Ban

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Life Site News. The family Republican state senator who vocally supported Alabama’s new law banning almost all abortions says his family has had to endure online threats of violence from pro-abortion advocates outraged by the law, including threats that they were going to break into his house and rape his wife.

Earlier this month, Alabama Republican Gov. Kay Ivey signed into law the Alabama Human Life Protection Act, which criminalizes abortion for any reason other than to “avert (a mother’s) death or to avert serious risk of substantial physical impairment of a major bodily function,” or “if a second physician who is licensed in Alabama as a psychiatrist” diagnoses a “serious mental illness” with a “reasonable medical judgment that she will engage in conduct that could result in her death or the death of her unborn child.” . . .

Over the weekend, Gudger appeared on Alabama Public Television to discuss the fallout from the vote, Breitbart reports, revealing in the process the toll it’s taken on his family.

“It’s been tough dealing with the balancing of my wife and my children being attacked,” Gudger told host Don Dailey. “I obviously don’t like that part. No one should be attacked or threatened with harm for a difference of opinion. But overall, I’m doing well, besides that.” He elaborated that “people have contacted my 15-year-old son on Snapchat and social media,” while “my wife had been contacted that they were going to break into our house and rape and do other things to her.” (Read more from “Senator Claims Abortion Activist Threatened to ‘Rape’ His Wife over Abortion Ban” HERE)

Louisiana Lawmakers Approve Strict Abortion Limit, Dem. Governor Says He Will Sign It

By NPR. The Louisiana House approved a strict new abortion law barring the procedure once a heartbeat is detectable, a point before many women may realize they are pregnant.

By a vote of 79-23, the lawmakers banned abortions as early as six weeks of pregnancy. Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards said in a statement that he “ran for governor as a pro-life candidate,” and intended to sign the abortion ban.

“As I prepare to sign this bill, I call on the overwhelming bipartisan majority of legislators who voted for it to join me in continuing to build a better Louisiana that cares for the least among us and provides more opportunity for everyone,” he said.

More than a dozen Democratic lawmakers approved the bill, along with all of the Republicans. (Read more from “Louisiana Lawmakers Approve Strict Abortion Limit, Dem. Governor Says He Will Sign It” HERE)

2020 Candidate DEFENDS Late-Term Abortions, Claims They’re ‘Hypothetical’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The 2020 Democratic presidential candidates thus far have all taken a position supporting abortion without limit. At the federal level, abortion is legal in the United States up to nine months of pregnancy. While some states have enacted prohibitions on abortion — including restricting the procedure after a certain point in pregnancy — other states permit abortions without exception.

Mayor Pete Buttigieg called abortion a “national right” and an “American freedom” during the recent Fox News Presidential Town hall. Host Chris Wallace asked Buttigieg, “[D]o you believe — at any point in pregnancy — whether it’s at six weeks or eight weeks or 24 weeks or whenever — that there should be any limit on a woman’s right to have an abortion?”

Buttigieg responded, “I trust women to draw the line when it’s their own bodies.” He then proceeded to downplay the number of late-term abortions done annually, first calling them “hypothetical,” and then when Wallace corrected him, downplaying and inaccurately representing the percentage of late-term abortions among all abortions in the United States. . .

Buttigieg then suggested that late-term abortions were “hypothetical.” . . .

But according to the most recent data reported to the CDC in 2015, abortions committed at 21 weeks gestation or greater represent approximately 1.3 percent of all reported abortions. This 1.3% statistic is also quoted by Guttmacher, which gathers more comprehensive abortion data. The fact is, abortionists control the abortion data on later abortions and only a small number of states even require abortion data by gestation. And therefore, these numbers are not definitive.

Watch: Pro-Lifer Demolishes Common Pro-Abortion Talking Point from Feminist

/0 Comments/in , /by

During a speaking engagement for her “Lies Feminist Tell” campus tour at Miami University of Oxford, Students for Life of America president Kristan Hawkins broke down the severely flawed and oft-repeated talking point from pro-abortion activists regarding pro-lifers allegedly only caring about children in the womb. . .

“An unborn fetus, that cannot live outside the mother, what right do you have to tell me to carry it to term?” [an audience member] asked. “If it’s an unplanned pregnancy, and odds are, that if it goes into the foster care system, it will face severe neglect and abuse.” . . .

“You just said that, if you knew that for 100% certainty, that the child you’re birthing is going to have a lifetime of suffering, that it would be better for the child, for you to kill, to end the life of the child, than for the child to suffer. So, instead of attempting to try to solve the suffering of the child, you’ve just eliminated the potential sufferer. Right?” Hawkins again reiterated.

“My question was, how do we end that suffering to make bringing a child that is unwanted into this world justifiable,” the feminist said.

“As pro-lifers and as Americans, we care about the children in foster care, we care about children who are being neglected, who are living on the streets with their parents,” said Hawkins, adding, “I actually don’t believe anyone in this room, regardless if you’re pro-life or pro-choice, thinks that childcare should be suffering in foster care, or children should live through hunger and homelessness.” (Read more from “Watch: Pro-Lifer Demolishes Common Pro-Abortion Talking Point from Feminist” HERE)

PRO-LIFE WIN: Another State Passes Major Abortion Ban

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Friday, Missouri Gov. Mike Parson, a Republican, signed into law one of the most pro-life laws in the nation, outlawing abortion at eight weeks, save an exception for the life or risk of major physical harm to the mother. The legislation does not include an exception for rape or incest, and sex- , ability- , and race-selective abortions are also banned outright.

The law is set to go into effect on August 28, though pro-abortion organizations are expected to challenge its constitutionality. As noted byFox News, the Missouri law was crafted to stand up to legal challenges, not provoke a showdown over Roe v. Wade: “If the eight-week ban is struck down, the bill includes a ladder of less-restrictive time limits at 14, 18 or 20 weeks.” . . .

Responding to criticism over the lack of exceptions for abortion post-eight weeks, Gov. Parson argued that two months is enough time to decide to get an abortion, even in tough cases.

“Is it a terrible thing that happens in those situations? Yes it is,” the Republican acknowledged, according to Fox. “But the reality of it is bad things do happen sometimes. But you have two months to decide what you’re going to do with that issue, and I believe in two months you can make a decision.” . . .

Democrats have responded to sweeping pro-life legislation with their own proposed bill: the euphemistically-named “Women’s Health Protection Act,” or WHPA. The bill, sponsored by Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Rep. Judy Chu (D-CA), would block and upend vital pro-life legislation, such as so-called “heartbeat bills” — which protect unborn babies with a detectable heartbeat from abortion — waiting periods, and mandates on ultrasounds, among other abortion restrictions, as reported by The Daily Wire on Friday.

Christians Prepared for a U.S. Civil War, Say Leaders

/0 Comments/in , /by

Prominent figures on the Christian right in the US ranging from religious magazines to authors to elected politicians have warned that the fight over abortion rights could lead to a new civil war. . .

Republican lawmakers such as Ohio’s Candice Keller have openly speculated that the divide over abortion rights might lead to civil war. Last month, Keller drew explicit comparisons with the antebellum situation over slavery, telling the Guardian: “Whether this ever leads to a tragedy, like it did before with our civil war, I can’t say.”

Earlier this month, the Guardian revealed that the Washington state republican legislator Matt Shea had also speculated about civil war, and the “Balkanization” of America, predicting that Christians would retreat to “zones of freedom” such as the inland Pacific north-west, where Shea is campaigning for a new state to break away from Washington.

Asked on a podcast if the two halves of the country could remain together, Shea said: “I don’t think we can, again, because you have half that want to follow the Lord and righteousness and half that don’t, and I don’t know how that can stand.” . . .

In the past year, Charisma magazine, the leading media voice of Pentecostal and charismatic Christians, has run at least half a dozen articles contemplating the possibility of an imminent civil war in America. One recent article profiles pastor, broadcaster and author Michael L Brown, who blames a “coming civil war” on “militant abortionists”.

Judge Blocks ‘Heartbeat’ Abortion Law

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A federal judge has temporarily blocked a Mississippi law that bans abortions once a fetal heartbeat can be detected, usually at the sixth or seventh week of pregnancy.

The law was scheduled to go into effect July 1.

“Here we go again,” wrote U.S. District Judge Carlton W. Reeves, an Obama-era appointee, in his opinion. “Mississippi has passed another law banning abortions prior to viability.” . . .

Reeves continued:

This Court previously found the 15-week ban to be an unconstitutional violation of substantive due process because the Supreme Court has repeatedly held that women have the right to choose an abortion prior to viability, and a fetus is not viable at 15 weeks lmp. If a fetus is not viable at 15 weeks lmp, it is not viable at 6 weeks lmp.

Abortion Activist Likens Laws Restricting Procedure to ‘Forced Breeding of Enslaved Black Women’

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Breitbart. The vice president of government affairs for Our Own Voice, National Black Women’s Reproductive Justice, said at a protest on Tuesday at the U.S. Supreme Court that banning or restricting abortion is a throwback to “breeding” black slaves.

“Black women coined the term reproductive justice 25 years ago,” Jessica Pickney said, adding that the goal of getting that justice was to “dismantle reproductive oppression.”

“Reproduction oppression looks like forced breeding of enslaved black women,” Pickney said.

The protest, organized by pro-abortion and left-wing organizations like Planned Parenthood, NARAL, the Women’s March, and MoveOn.org was in response to several states recently crafting and passing legislation to protect the unborn and, eventually, sending a court battle over abortion back to the high court where the 1973 Roe v. Wade made abortion on demand the law of the land. . .

“It is no coincidence that the parts of this country with the worst maternal maternity rates, the highest incidence of voter suppression and overall troublesome health outcomes for black women are the same states that wish to eliminate our access to abortion care,” Pickney said.

Democrats Cancel Fundraiser for Their Own Congressman Because of His Anti-Abortion Views

By Washington Examiner. The head of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee canceled a fundraiser for a anti-abortion-rights Democrat who has served in Congress for more than a decade after progressive complaints.

Rep. Sheri Bustos, chairwoman of the DCCC, canceled a $1,000-per-person fundraiser for fellow Illinois Rep. Daniel Lipinski. Lipinski, who opposes abortion, is facing a primary challenge from a progressive pro-abortion Democrat.

Although she didn’t directly say why she is backing out of the event, Bustos released a statement that tied the decision to the controversy surrounding the strict abortion laws being enacted in Republican-led states.

“I’m proud to have a 100 percent pro-choice voting record and I’m deeply alarmed by the rapidly escalating attacks on women’s access to reproductive care in several states,” Bustos said.

2020 Dem Wants to Create a Federal Office Dedicated to Expanding Abortion Rights

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Cory Booker, N.J., seized on the national abortion debate Tuesday, unveiling an expansive abortion rights plan as part of his campaign platform that would involve the creation of a White House office dedicated to abortion.

“On Day One, I will create a White House Office of Reproductive Freedom, charged with coordinating and affirmatively advancing abortion rights and access to reproductive health care across my Administration,” Booker pledged in a statement Tuesday, “addressing all barriers to full reproductive autonomy, such as access to health care, including maternal and infant health, quality, affordable child care, and comprehensive paid family leave.”

Booker’s sweeping “reproductive rights” plan would also reverse the pro-life executive orders from President Donald Trump that bar federal funds from assisting organizations that promote or facilitate abortions; end the Hyde Amendment, which bars federal funds from being used to procure abortions; and once again force employer health plans to cover the cost of contraception.

“It has never been more important to stand in solidarity and join the fight to ensure that all women have access to reproductive health care and abortion rights,” Booker’s statement concluded. “These far-right attacks on women’s rights must be understood as an attack on all of our rights.”

The announcement of Booker’s abortion plan comes in the wake of a national discussion over pro-life laws in Ohio, Georgia, and Alabama, which either restrict abortion to the first few weeks of pregnancy or outlaw the process altogether.

In addition to the proposal, Booker also wrote “An Open Letter to Men on Abortion” last week for GQ, in which he wrote: “Men, it’s on us to listen, to speak out, and to take action. Not because women are our mothers, sisters, wives or friends — but because women are people. And all people deserve to control their own bodies.”

Abortion has become a major discussion point in the 2020 Democratic primary, and that discussion has mainly been a contest of who can move the furthest to the Left on the issue. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., tried to use Christianity to justify abortion, Joe Biden has now flip-flopped on the Hyde Amendment, and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) wants to hamstring states’ abilities to pass pro-life laws.
