Graham Allen Shreds Alyssa Milano After She Quotes the Bible to Justify Abortion

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Monday, [Alyssa] Milano posted a bizarre tweet in which she expressed her love for God, claimed that scientific facts “override” her personal beliefs, and then quoted the Bible–all to advocate abortion.

“Show me the place in the Bible, chick, where it says anything about Jesus being pro-murdering children,” demanded “Rant Nation” host Graham Allen on Tuesday. “You immoral, illogical, confused, disrespectful, soulless people!”

“Our future generations will look back on us as immoral savages for even having this conversation in the first place because baby lives matter,” he continued. “And it’s immoral Hollywood elitists like you [Alyssa Milano] that disregard the very foundation of what America, Jesus, Christianity, and everything stands for in the first place. Abortion is murder. Shut your mouth and actually do something that contributes to society….”

House Democrats Have Repeatedly Blocked Anti-Infanticide Vote. Republicans Just Made the Next Play to Force Their Hands

/0 Comments/in , /by

House Republicans officially launched their effort to force a vote on a high-profile anti-infanticide bill Tuesday, while calling for a national effort to pressure Democrats to their side.

House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., introduced what’s known as a discharge petition on the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act to force members of the lower chamber to show the American people where they stand on the issue of infanticide.

Previously, House Democrats have blocked over two dozen Republican efforts to bring the bill to the floor. A discharge petition is an end run around the majority party’s power to dictate the floor schedule and bring a bill up for debate and a vote without leadership’s consent.

The key challenge to this strategy is that collecting 218 signatures will mean courting 21 Democrats, when only three of the party’s current House members broke ranks for a pro-life vote last session.

However, Scalise says that he was ready for this challenge.

“We need to get to 218, so it’s going to take a national effort,” Scalise said at a Tuesday morning press conference. “But the country’s watching.”

“People say it should be easy to get 218 signatures,” the minority whip continued. “Frankly, it should be easy to get all 435 members of Congress to sign this, but it’s not. In fact, It’s going to be hard. We know it’s an uphill battle.”

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., pointed out that a successful petition would eliminate the ability of House members to “hide behind Democratic leadership” on the issue because “whoever was holding the gavel denied the ability for the bill to come up.”

While more staunch pro-abortion members of Congress from safely Democratic districts would have little problem voting against the bill politically, a floor vote on the issue would put members from more moderate districts — especially those that flipped to blue in November — in a much tougher position.

Tuesday morning, Rep. Mark Green, R-Tenn., announced that he would sign the petition and urged his Democratic colleagues to break with their party and join him.

“Now, more than ever, the American people need clarification – where exactly does the Democratic party stand on the issue of abortion? Are they really comfortable letting already born infants die?” reads a statement from Green’s office. “This is not a trifling matter.”

Pro-life activists also attended Monday’s press conference and similarly urged House members to get the bill to the floor while excoriating Democratic leaders for blocking it.

“Shame on Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats for repeatedly refusing to allow a vote on this compassionate, common-ground bill,” reads a statement from Susan B. Anthony List President Marjorie Dannenfelser.

“Democratic Party leaders have doubled down on extremism,” Dannenfelser added. “Their agenda is radically out of step even within their own rank and file … the American people deserve to know where their representatives stand on infanticide.” (For more from the author of “House Democrats Have Repeatedly Blocked Anti-Infanticide Vote.

Stephen Baldwin Calls out Brother Alec for ‘Spirit of Hate’ Over Abortion Boycott

/0 Comments/in , /by

Actor Stephen Baldwin called out his brother Alec Baldwin for having a “spirit of hate” after the Saturday Night Live star signing a letter threatening to boycott the state of Georgia if Gov. Brian Kemp (R) signed a bill restricting abortion into law.

“avoided tweets like this long as I could,” Stephen Baldwin said in a social media post Monday. “Love will ultimately wins Jesus [Loves], but for so long I’ve sat back & trusted God as my own family members have perpetrated the spirit of hate … through abortion Mockery & blindness. #sad #Alec #hates #pray.”

. . .

Indeed, Alec Baldwin was one of many Hollywood stars who signed Alyssa Milano’s letter threatening a boycott of Georgia over H.B. 481, the “Heartbeat bill,” which would ban abortion after about six weeks, or after a heartbeat is detected in a fetus.

Planned Parenthood Just Had a Disappointing Supreme Court Win

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to issue a writ of certiorari to hear an appeal from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit to dismiss a key abortion-related case. The writ to dismiss the underlying lawsuit was sought by David Daleiden’s group, the Center for Medical Progress.

The Hill reports:

The Center for Medical Progress had requested the Supreme Court toss out Planned Parenthood’s claims that they committed federal conspiracy and wiretapping violations. Planned Parenthood also claims that the Center for Medical Progress violated California law by fraudulently gaining access to its facilities. …

The Center for Medical Progress, led by activist David Daleiden, had argued it was exercising its First Amendment rights in making the videos. The group also claimed that the Planned Parenthood lawsuit was in violation of California “anti-SLAPP” laws, which prevent strategic legal action aimed at silencing individuals or groups.

The denial of a writ of certiorari confirms that Planned Parenthood’s suit against the Center for Medical Progress (CMP) in the Ninth Circuit will proceed in full. As CBS News states, “Planned Parenthood’s lawsuit alleges that CMP engaged in wire and mail fraud, committed illegal secret recording and trespassing. The pro-abortion rights group is accusing CMP of lying to the IRS and the state of California in order to illegally get tax-exempt status. It also says that CMP set up a fake health care firm and used fake IDs to register at a private medical conferences on reproductive health.” (Read more from “Planned Parenthood Just Had a Disappointing Supreme Court Win” HERE)

‘Unplanned’ Star Obliterates Alyssa Milano on Pro-Life Bill

/0 Comments/in , /by

Ashley Bratcher, star of the recently-released anti-abortion movie “Unplanned,” wrote a response to actress Alyssa Milano after Milano suggested that Hollywood might boycott Georgia over a bill banning abortion after a fetal heartbeat is detected, according to Deadline Hollywood.

Bratcher, who plays former Planned Parenthood executive turned pro-life advocate Abby Johnson in the movie, was nearly aborted herself and resides in Georgia, so she has some strong feelings on the topic.

“Well Alyssa, let me make something very clear to you,” Milano wrote. “In Georgia, we care just as much about being pro-life as being pro-film. We don’t believe in putting a price tag on the value of a human life. Our brave leaders have stepped up to say enough is enough, we will no longer sit idly by as innocent lives are taken by the thousands each day.” . . .

Milano attacked the bill as “the most anti-woman bill of its kind in the country” in a guest column for Deadline Hollywood, and suggested that if the bill passes, Georgia could lose some of the many film and television projects that boost its economy.

“To Georgia’s leaders: You have worked hard to showcase your state and bring in filming projects that have had a multiplier impact on your state’s economy, but these projects are not a given,” Milano wrote. “I urge you to think hard before making Georgia a state that is not welcoming of women. I urge you to defeat HB 481 and continue to be “The Hollywood of the South.” (Read more from “‘Unplanned’ Star Obliterates Alyssa Milano on Pro-Life Bill” HERE)

Senate Passes Bill to Ban Most Abortions Once Fetal Heartbeat Is Detected

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Georgia Senate passed legislation Friday to ban abortion on most babies once a fetal heartbeat can be detected, albeit with more exceptions than the version originally introduced in the state House.

House Bill 481’s original language states that “no abortion is authorized or shall be performed if the unborn child has been determined to have a human heartbeat,” except to save a mother from death or “serious risk of substantial and irreversible physical impairment of a major bodily function,” or if the pregnancy has been deemed “medically futile” (i.e., the child would die shortly after birth). The bill specifies that mental or emotional conditions do not qualify.

Earlier this month, Georgia Right to Life president Ricardo Davis called the measure, which was introduced alongside a trigger bill to automatically ban most abortions once Roe v. Wade is overturned, a “hopeful step toward the ultimate goal of adopting a ‘personhood’ amendment to the state constitution that will protect all innocent human life from fertilization through natural death.”

The measure passed the House 93-73 earlier this month, and a version passed the Senate on a 34-18, party-line vote Friday. The vote followed four hours of contentious debate, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

“I applaud the members who supported the heartbeat bill’s passage for protecting the vulnerable and giving a voice to those who cannot yet speak for themselves,” Republican Gov. Brian Kemp said. But despite Kemp’s campaign-trail pledge to enact the “toughest abortion laws in the country,” the Senate version is notably weaker than both the original House version and the heartbeat laws of other states.

The Next Big Challenge to Roe v. Wade Is Brewing

/0 Comments/in , /by

Now that Donald Trump’s nominees have shifted the makeup of the Supreme Court, we’re starting to see what the next legal challenges to Roe v. Wade might look like.

Last week, federal judges blocked two Kentucky pro-life bills: one banning abortion based on sex, race, or a disability diagnosis (otherwise known as eugenics) and the other a heartbeat law. Also last week, a federal judge blocked an Ohio law banning dilation and evacuation (D&E) abortion procedures. Indiana’s eugenics abortion ban was blocked by a federal judge and is still waiting to hear back from the Supreme Court.

Meanwhile, other states are passing and considering new pro-life legislation at an impressive pace. Mississippi recently enacted a heartbeat law, banning most abortions after the fetal heartbeat can be detected, at about six weeks of pregnancy. Iowa put one in place last May. One is working its way through the Georgia legislature, along with others in Tennessee and Missouri. Utah’s governor recently signed a bill banning abortion based on a Down syndrome diagnosis, while a similar Arkansas measure is working its way up in Little Rock. A dilation and evacuation ban bill is being deliberated in North Dakota.

And, naturally, whenever a new pro-life bill becomes law, the abortion industry mounts a new legal offensive. When you’ve got multiple legal challenges in different circuits, you increase the chance that there’s going to be disagreement among the courts and therefore increase the likelihood that the issue will be taken up by the Supreme Court.

Between the number of heartbeat laws, anti-eugenics abortion bills, and D&E bans, the real question is which issue will get the chance to chip away at Roe v. Wade first.

With Justice Brett Kavanaugh now sitting in the seat vacated by Justice Anthony Kennedy, the unborn Americans’ odds at the Supreme Court are better than they’ve been in decades, though some serious pro-life concerns about Chief Justice John Roberts are now cropping up.

At National Review, David French makes the argument that now is the time to bombard the judicial branch with legal challenges to Roe v. Wade like these: “it’s time to throw down the gauntlet, declare to the world (and to the Court) that the era of incrementalism is over, and show that the people are ready to embrace life.”

The number of new laws passing may well signal that bombardment is under way. (For more from the author of “The Next Big Challenge to Roe v. Wade Is Brewing” please click HERE)

SHOCK VIDEO: Abortion Advocate Beats 85-Year-Old Man After Stealing His Pro-Life Sign

/0 Comments/in , /by

An elderly man at a peaceful pro-life prayer vigil outside a San Francisco-based Planned Parenthood abortion clinic was physically assaulted by an abortion advocate this month on two separate occasions, one of which was captured in disturbing video footage.

he man, aged 85, had his pro-life banner in support of the 40 Days for Life campaign stolen by an unidentified male abortion advocate. When the pro-lifer attempted to get his property back from the activist, he was severely beaten and threatened.

The video footage shows the thief, when first approached by the pro-lifer, throwing his bicycle at the 85-year-old, knocking him down to the ground. Then, while he’s on the pavement, the Planned Parenthood supporter continuously kicks him in the legs and back and shouts, “Old man, stay on the ground. Stay on the ground, old man, unless you wanna get hurt.”

Footage of two attacks — both this attack on the elderly man, and one attack on another pro-lifer that occurred just two days prior — was likely captured by surveillance cameras outside the Planned Parenthood facility. But the abortion giant reportedly will not cooperate in this regard with authorities, noted Life News.

According to the pro-life outlet, the same perpetrator “threw a sign, table and pro-life literature into the street” during a pro-life vigil with the San Francisco 40 Days for Life campaign two days before the attack. “He knocked two men to the ground during that incident as well, including the same elderly pro-lifer he attacked again on Thursday.”

U.S. Governor Introduces Bill to Let Non-Doctors Commit Abortions

/0 Comments/in , /by

The ability to commit abortions should be expanded from actual doctors to physician assistants and some types of nurses, according to a proposal introduced Thursday by Maine Gov. Janet Mills.

“Every woman in Maine should be able to access reproductive health care when and where she needs it, regardless of her ZIP code,” Mills declared, according to a WMTW report. “Allowing advanced nurse practitioners and physician assistants to perform medication-administered abortions, which are already permitted in other states, will ensure Maine women, especially in rural areas of our state, can access reproductive health care services.”

Democrat state House Speaker Sarah Gideon, who is sponsoring the bill, agreed, claiming that women in rural parts of the state “have been disproportionately harmed, where the sheer logistics of arranging for travel, taking time off work and securing child care create an often insurmountable barrier to accessing the full range of family planning services.”

Mills pushed for a similar measure last year as state Attorney General, and pro-abortion organizations like Planned Parenthood and the ACLU have tried to force the state to allow nurse practitioners and licensed midwives to commit abortions since at least 2017.

Beto’s Rocky Rollout: O’Rourke Drawing Crowds and Cash, but Stumbles out of the Gate

By Fox News. Beto O’Rourke raised a whopping $6.1 million in his first 24 hours as a presidential candidate, while drawing big crowds — and a herd of reporters — as he campaigned across Iowa and Wisconsin after launching his 2020 bid.

But despite riding a wave of media fanfare, the former three-term congressman from Texas has stumbled out of the gate with a string of apologies and clarifications.

While the fundraising and large crowds show the charismatic contender is a force to be reckoned with in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination, the series of missteps amount to signs that O’Rourke’s nascent campaign may need some fine-tuning — and fast.

In one widely covered gaffe, O’Rourke apologized for joking at several events on Thursday and Friday that his wife Amy had been raising the couple’s three children “sometimes with my help.”

Discussing the comments – amid concern they spotlighted gender stereotypes – O’Rourke promised, “not only will I not say that again, but I’ll be more thoughtful going forward in the way that I talk about our marriage.” (Read more from “Beto’s Rocky Rollout: O’Rourke Drawing Crowds and Cash, but Stumbles out of the Gate” HERE)
