Supreme Court May Allow Mothers to Kill Babies for Being Disabled or a Girl

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Friday, the Supreme Court delayed its consideration of a Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals decision that struck down two Indiana abortion statutes. The first banned abortions that take place as a result of the child’s race, sex, or disability. The second mandates that the remains of unborn children be buried or cremated.

This decision comes hard on the heels on the failure of a Republican-controlled federal government to take any action towards limiting abortion in the United States. Even Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider, escaped unscathed, maintaining their government funding.

The Seventh Circuit’s rejection is even more frustrating considering the role abortion has played in legitimizing eugenics in both the United States and Europe. Such a resurgence is most notable in the plight of people with Down Syndrome.

In Iceland, for example, every single mother with an unborn baby diagnosed with Down decided to end the pregnancy. Only two to three babies with Down are born in the country every year. The small island nation is far from alone in this regard. In Denmark, 98 percent of women choose abortion when they discover their child has Down Syndrome, and the issue is replicated at somewhat lower levels across Europe.

In the United States, a smaller number of unborn babies diagnosed with Down are aborted compared to these countries, but our numbers are still unforgivably high. The best estimates claim abortion after prenatal diagnosis has reduced the total U.S. Down population by around 30 percent, a staggering amount.

Disgraceful: Seven House Republicans Vote for Democrat Bill Funding Abortions Overseas

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Thursday, the Democratic majority in the House of Representatives voted to fund the government and end the partial government shutdown without funding a border wall and with funding for abortions overseas. Seven House Republicans joined the Democrats to vote for that bill.

Those seven Republicans are:

Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Penn.

Rep. Will Hurd, R-Texas

Rep. John Katko, R-N.Y.

Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y.

Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y.

Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich.

Rep. Greg Walden, R-Ore.

Here’s why this vote was inexcusable from a pro-life perspective.

The Democrats added language into their funding bill that would repeal the Mexico City Policy, which requires foreign nongovernmental organizations to certify that they will not perform or promote abortions before receiving U.S. aid. As one of his first acts as president, President Donald Trump reinstated the policy after President Barack Obama had ended it. The policy keeps U.S. taxpayers from paying for abortions overseas, and Democrats want it to end.

The Democratic bill also increased spending by an additional $5 million for the United Nations Population Fund, which supports coercive abortions and involuntary sterilization in China.

Pro-life groups came out in strong opposition to the bill.

“A strong majority of Americans oppose taxpayer funding of abortion,” said Susan B. Anthony List President Marjorie Dannenfelser. She added that reversing the Mexico City policy would make “taxpayers complicit in the exportation of abortion and destruction of countless unborn children around the world. This is unconscionable and we oppose the bill in the strongest terms.”

The House bill passed 241 – 190 and now heads to the Senate, where Sen. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has promised any bill that President Trump does not support is dead on arrival. So it remains to be seen if the final compromise bill that funds the government includes these morally bankrupt abortion policies.

There’s an important point to be made about those seven House Republicans who voted for the Democrat bill. This is why the Democratic Party is so successful at defeating conservative policies while the Republican party is dysfunctional. Even in the minority, Democrats were uniformly opposed to Trump’s immigration policies. Even after he won the 2016 election, not one “moderate” Democrat crossed party lines to support the wall or increased border security — even though Democrats once supported those policies. But Republicans can’t even rally around the conservative parts of Trump’s agenda completely.

It’s disgraceful. (For more from the author of “Disgraceful: Seven House Republicans Vote for Democrat Bill Funding Abortions Overseas” please click HERE)

Disturbing: Abortion Killed 42 Million People in 2018

/0 Comments/in , /by

More human beings died in abortions than any other cause of death in 2018, a new report indicates.

A heartbreaking reminder about the prevalence of abortion, statistics compiled by Worldometers indicate that there were nearly 42 million abortions world-wide in 2018. The independent site collects data from governments and other reputable organizations and then reports the data, along with estimates and projections, based on those numbers. . .

Worldometers estimates about 59 million deaths world-wide in 2018, but that number does not include unborn babies’ abortion deaths. Unborn babies are not recognized as human beings even though biology indicates that they are unique, living human beings from the moment of conception and they die brutal, violent deaths in abortions.

The abortion number is incomprehensible, but each of those 42 million abortions represents a living human being whose life was violently destroyed in their mother’s womb. Each unborn baby already had their own unique DNA, making them distinct from their mother. That DNA indicated if the child was a boy or girl, their eye and hair color, their height, possible genetic disorders and other disabilities, and much more. In most cases, the unborn babies’ hearts are beating when they are aborted, too. . .

An estimated 60 million unborn babies have been killed in abortions in the U.S. since Roe v. Wade in 1973. (Read more from “Disturbing: Abortion Killed 42 Million People in 2018” HERE)

Pro-Lifers Save Two Babies by Singing Christmas Carols Outside Abortion Centers

/0 Comments/in , /by

Pro-life advocates singing Christmas carols outside abortion facilities saved at least two lives from abortion this past weekend.

In Wood Dale, Illinois, a woman left the abortion facility where pro-life carolers were signing and came to tell them she and her boyfriend decided to keep their baby.

Similarly in Orange, California, a woman who had been moved by the caroling came out of the Planned Parenthood there, telling pro-lifers she had decided to keep her child.

Pro-lifers were able to get the Illinois couple to a local pregnancy center and give them a gift of baby booties for their child, according the Pro-Life Action League, and the California woman was also directed to a local pregnancy center and given a baby sweater for her child on the way. . .

“The fifth annual Peace in the Womb caroling day was a great success,” Pro-Life Action League Assistant Communications Director Matthew Yonke told LifeSiteNews. “With 96 locations nationwide, we brought the message of Christmas hope to abortion facilities from New York to California and all points between.” (Read more from “Pro-Lifers Save Two Babies by Singing Christmas Carols Outside Abortion Centers” HERE)

‘Pro-Life’ John Kasich Vetoes Bill Banning Abortions on Babies With Heartbeats

/0 Comments/in , /by

Today, outgoing Ohio Gov. John Kasich vetoed for the second time a bill that would have prevented babies with beating hearts from being aborted. . .

“As governor, I have worked hard to strengthen Ohio’s protections for the sanctity of human life, and I have a deep respect for my fellow members of the pro-life community and their ongoing efforts in defense of unborn life,” said Kasich. “However, the central provision of Sub. H.B. 258, that an abortion cannot be performed if a heartbeat has been detected in the unborn child, is contrary to the Supreme Court of the United States’ current rulings on abortion.” . . .

On the same day he vetoed the bill, which would have made Ohio the safest state in the country for pre-born children, Kasich signed a ban on dismemberment abortions. The move is reminiscent of his veto of the 2016 heartbeat bill, which he did the same time he signed a 20-week abortion ban into law. . .

“History will judge leaders by what they did or did not do in difficult, inconvenient, yet life saving moments,” said Pastor Rodney Lord of Marietta. Lord leads a coalition of pastors and leaders in southeast Ohio and has a daily radio spot with an audience of 150,000.

“Speaker Smith, Senate President Obhof, and our state legislators have an opportunity to do something significant, meaningful, and life-saving,” said Lori Viars of Warren County Right To Life. (Read more from “‘Pro-Life’ John Kasich Vetoes Bill Banning Abortions on Babies With Heartbeats” HERE)

China Forcibly Aborts Third Child; Forced Abortion Continues Under Its Two-Child Policy

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Life Site News. The Chinese Government, operating under the Two-Child Policy, has forcibly aborted a woman’s third child, according to NPR and Radio Free Europe reports.

The woman, an ethnic Kazakh, was a widow with two children, living in the Xinjiang region. She married a Kazakh citizen, living in Kazakhstan, across the border. She was told that, in order to cancel her Chinese citizenship to become a citizen of Kazakhstan, she would need to return to China.

On this return trip, Chinese cadres invited her to the hospital for a “health check-up.” They discovered that she was pregnant and demanded an abortion, because this third pregnancy violated the Two-Child policy – even though she told them, “my husband is a Kazakh citizen and I am carrying a Kazakh citizen.” . . .

The fact that forced abortion continues under China’s Two-Child Policy is further documented in the Population Control section of the 2018 Congressional-Executive Commission on China (CECC) Report, which states that regulations “include provisions that require couples to be married to have children and limit them to bearing two children…Officials reportedly continued to enforce compliance with family planning policies using methods including heavy fines, job termination, detention, and abortion.” (Read more from “China Forcibly Aborts Third Child; Forced Abortion Continues Under Its Two-Child Policy” HERE)

‘They Ordered Me to Get an Abortion’: A Chinese Woman’s Ordeal in Xinjiang

By NPR. When the 37-year-old Chinese woman stepped over China’s border into Kazakhstan last July, she felt free. . .

Then she met the man who changed her life. Like her, he was an ethnic Kazakh. Unlike her, he was a citizen of Kazakhstan, from across the border. . .

The couple’s life together as husband and wife was established. The only thing left for the woman to do was to complete the paperwork to cancel Chinese citizenship for her and her children, so that they could become Kazakh citizens. For this, she had to return to her hometown in China. . .

“I thought they wanted to interrogate me again,” she says. “But they took me to the hospital instead. They administered another health check, and then they told me I was pregnant.” . . .

She was six weeks along. Before she could share the news with her husband, local authorities returned to her house the next day. “They ordered me to get an abortion,” she says. . .

“The police and local officials came and took me and my brother to a government building,” the woman says. “They made my brother sign a document saying that if I don’t get an abortion, he would suffer the consequences. I knew this meant he’d be detained in a camp. I’d do anything to protect my brother, so I agreed to the abortion.” (Read more from “‘They Ordered Me to Get an Abortion’: A Chinese Woman’s Ordeal in Xinjiang” HERE)

U.S. Takes a Stand Against Global Compact on Refugees, Promotion of Abortion at the United Nations

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Townhall. The United States took a lonely stand Monday against the United Nation’s General Assembly in a vote on the Global Compact on Refugees and on concerns about language related to abortion.

Hungary was the only country to join the United States in voting against an annual resolution on the work of the U.N. refugee agency which included approval of the compact on refugees. The resolution was approved with 181 countries voting in favor and three abstaining.

The U.S. explained its opposition to the compact, arguing that it represents “an effort by the United Nations to advance global governance at the expense of the sovereign right of States to manage their immigration systems in accordance with their national laws, policies, and interests.”

Reuters noted on Monday that the U.S. also “unsuccessfully tried to remove two paragraphs from a General Assembly resolution on preventing violence and sexual harassment of women and girls. It was the only country to vote against the language, while 131 countries voted to keep it in the resolution and 31 abstained.” (Read more from “U.S. Takes a Stand Against Global Compact on Refugees, Promotion of Abortion at the United Nations” HERE)

US Left Isolated at UN Over Stance on Abortion and Refugees

By The Guardian. The United States has found itself isolated at the 193-member United Nations general assembly over Washington’s concerns about the promotion of abortion and a voluntary plan to address the global refugee crisis.

Only Hungary backed the United States and voted against an annual resolution on the work of the UN refugee agency, while 181 countries voted in favor and three abstained. The resolution has generally been approved by consensus for more than 60 years. . .

The US also failed in a campaign – which started last month during negotiations on several draft resolutions in the general assembly human rights committee – against references to “sexual and reproductive health” and “sexual and reproductive health-care services”.

It has said the language has “accumulated connotations that suggest the promotion of abortion or a right to abortion that are unacceptable to our administration”.

On Monday, Washington unsuccessfully tried to remove two paragraphs from a general assembly resolution on preventing violence and sexual harassment of women and girls. It was the only country to vote against the language, while 131 countries voted to keep it in the resolution and 31 abstained.

Planned Parenthood Admits Unborn Are Babies — in Preschool Sex Ed

/0 Comments/in , /by

By National Review. The nation’s largest abortion provider described an unborn human being as both a “pregnancy” and as a “baby.” The only difference was in the audience: The former was the term used for women seeking an abortion, while the latter was for preschoolers.

Planned Parenthood used the b-word in a November 14 video for parents. The three-minute animated film — “How Do I Talk With My Kid About Where Babies Come From?” — has gone largely unnoticed by the media, even though an earlier video for parents about gender made headlines recently. This one proved just as newsworthy, if only because of Planned Parenthood’s discrepancy.

At the film’s beginning, a female narrator recommends that parents “keep it simple and direct” with younger children. A parent might say that a “baby grows in a parent’s belly and comes out their vagina.” Or, if that’s not enough information for little ones, parents can add that “if sperm and egg meet, they can grow into a baby.”

But while the narrator was ready and willing to mention birth — and even birth-control — in the video meant for children’s education, she didn’t mention the issue of abortion.

Online, in its resources for pregnant women, Planned Parenthood calls abortion the “ending of a pregnancy.” But for children, abortion would be the ending of a “baby” if they learn, as Planned Parenthood instructs, that it is a baby that grows inside their mother’s belly.

Planned Parenthood Urges Holiday ‘Presents’ for Mike Pence

By Breitbart. Abortion vendor Planned Parenthood, which considers Mike Pence to be among its most fervent enemies, has released a list of suggested holiday presents for the pro-life vice president.

Among the items on the list is the ever-popular “donation to the Planned Parenthood Action Fund in Pence’s Name.”

Donations to America’s largest abortion provider in Pence’s name have been trendy among abortion rights advocates since Pence was governor of Indiana. The practice, however, reached its peak in November 2017, when actress Mila Kunis told Conan O’Brien, while appearing on his talk show, she donates to Planned Parenthood in Pence’s name to protest his pro-life policies.

Watch: Mom Sings Creepy Lullaby Her Baby ‘Gave’ Before She Aborted It During ‘Blessing’ for Clinic

/0 Comments/in , /by

A mother in Ohio claims she saw a vision of her baby singing her a lullaby moments before aborting it. She recently sang that “lullaby” while speaking at a “blessing” of an abortion clinic.

“In Columbus, Ohio, that image of a mother soothing her child through song was flipped on its head at a shocking pro-abortion rally,” reports LifeNews. “One mother at the rally recounted her abortion by singing a lullaby she said her baby sent to her while she was in the waiting room preparing to kill the child.”

The event billed itself as a “blessing” of Your Choice Healthcare, a non-surgical abortion clinic in Columbus, OH. Along with the mother’s creepy serenading, other women speakers spoke of their positive experiences with abortion. And just to up the event’s blasphemy quotient to 11, several clergy members called upon the Almighty to “bless” the clinic and protect its submission. . .

Pro-life advocates who witnessed the performance recalled the haunting experience of hearing a mother turn a song about love into an anthem for murder. “Watching this mother sing the lullaby to those gathered is haunting. This tune became the music of murder for one baby, and those assembled celebrated in hopes it would become the same for countless other children,” pro-life advocate Mark Harrington, President of Created Equal, told LifeNews.

The event was sponsored by the so-called Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice as a closing ceremony counterpoint to the 40 Days for Life campaign where “pro-life advocates pray outside abortion facilities worldwide and offer practical pregnancy help and support for women,” according to LifeNews.

Abortion Rates in the U.S. Have Significantly Decreased

/1 Comment/in , /by

Abortion rates are the lowest they’ve been in a decade, according to a report from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Abortions that were reported from 2006 to 2015 in participating areas fell 24 percent, from 842,855 to 638,169. . .

Rachel Jones, the principal research scientist for the Guttmacher Institute, told The Washington Post, that she believes the decline can be attributed to more widespread contraceptive use as well as less access to abortion.

“Analyses have suggested that improved contraceptive use played a role in the long-term declines. In some states, decreased access to abortion services contributed, as well,” she commented.

Chuck Donovan, president of the Charlotte Lozier Institute, the research arm of the pro-life Susan B. Anthony List, argued that the decline may be due to an increase in women deciding to carry unintended pregnancies to term as well as more prevalent pro-life views.

“A higher percentage of women today decide to carry an unexpected pregnancy to term,” he said, “teenagers are less sexually active and with fewer partners, pro-life views are more prevalent among the rising generation than they were 40 years ago.” (Read more from “Abortion Rates in the U.S. Have Significantly Decreased” HERE)
