Republicans most trust Dr. Ben Carson and Mike Huckabee to handle the issue of abortion, according to a recent CNN poll. However, a series of statements from Carson’s campaign, and from Dr. Carson himself, have led to questions about the clarity of his pro-life views about when life begins, how RU-486 works, and his views on experimenting with aborted fetal tissue, among other issues.
On Tuesday, the Carson campaign defended his decision to refer women to abortionists if the child suffered from fetal deformities.
“Referring it on does not mean he is advocating it,” campaign spokesman Doug Watts told Politico. “He’s advocating they are getting qualified medical supervision. He has always believed that the battle over abortion had to be waged in the hearts and minds of Americans, that you cannot legislate morality. But he also believes we’re winning the debate.”
Carson told the Baltimore Sun in 1992, “As a physician who does not believe in abortion, when faced with a patient who has severe medical problems, I would refer someone for an abortion.”
“I would never advocate it’s illegal for a person to get an abortion,” the doctor said at the time. “I think in the long run we do a lot of harm when we bludgeon people.” (Read more from “Ben Carson’s Campaign Admits He Referred Women to Abortionists” HERE)

After Paraguay’s recent decision to deny an abortion to a 10-year-old who was raped by her stepfather, Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee was asked by CNN host Dana Bash how he would respond as fellow Republicans say that policy is “too extreme.”
The former Arkansas governor acknowledged during his “State of the Union” interview Sunday that what happened to the girl is “horrible” and a “terrible tragedy,” but then made a strong argument for allowing the child to be born.
“Does it solve a problem by taking the life of an innocent child?” he asked, adding later: “When I think about one horror, I also think about the possibilities that exist, and I just don’t want to think that somehow we discounted a human life … Let’s not compound the tragedy by taking yet another life.”
Huckabee added that well-known Pastor James Robison was conceived as a result of a rape, and that his mother “begged” doctors in the 1940s to give her an abortion — but they refused. Now Robison heads a Christian relief organization Life Outreach International which cares for “hundreds of thousands of people across the world,” Huckabee said, adding that none of that would have happened if Robison was aborted.

By now, most of us have heard about the Center for Medical Progresses’ (“CMP’s”) explosive revelations of the backroom butchery of Planned Parenthood over the last several weeks. These committed pro-life activists made a series of undercover videos of interviews with Planned Parenthood employees and corporate representatives of companies involved in the multi-billion dollar dead baby parts trade, shocking the nation.
Among other things, CMP’s videos show – in gruesome detail – how Planned Parenthood has actively marketed baby parts to corporations like StemExpress who pay top dollar, depending on how complete the aborted body is and the “freshness” of the pre-born infant’s organs. This enormously lucrative market has grown exponentially since 1993 when President Bill Clinton reversed the Reagan ban on the trade of fetal body parts. Its existence brings to mind Thomas Jefferson’s warning: “I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that his justice cannot sleep forever.”
Over fifty leading American universities are involved in purchasing and studying murdered baby parts. These institutions of supposedly “higher” learning include Harvard, Yale, MIT, Stanford and others. Some researchers are actually implanting baby’s organs – like livers – into rodents and re-growing them. And our federal government is part of the Frankenstein act, buying tens of millions of dollars of baby parts from abortion mills like Planned Parenthood.
One of CMP’s videos suggests – as have a number of prior activists’ exposés – that some of the body parts that are bought and sold within this multi-billion dollar industry are actually cut from babies that have been born alive in failed abortions, but then murdered.
Until CMP started publishing its explicit videos, most of the nation was ignorant of the horrors perpetrated within its borders by the baby-killing abortion industry. In fact, even though Planned Parenthood aborts over 300,000 babies per year – far more than any other U.S. group – it had a fairly positive reputation among many Americans. But now that the word is out about what Planned Parenthood is doing behind closed doors, attitudes are changing.
I recently interviewed an investigative journalist who suggested that even her radical, pro-abortion feminist friends are mortified by what the CMP videos have revealed. Other leftists have also abandoned their defense of Planned Parenthood’s gruesome and indefensible treatment of the pre-born and their bodies.
America now sits in the unenviable position of not only being fully informed of the slaughter of innocents within its borders – closing in on 60,000,000 dead as I write this article – but also now being fully informed of the grotesque, multi-billion dollar industry that has grown up around the buying and selling of babies’ corpses and body parts.
If you think what Nazi Germany did was horrible, this is every bit as bad, and in some ways worse. Not only does the American genocide exceed the Nazi death camp toll, any American who spends any time reading the news should now be aware of what is going on with the blessing and complicity of the federal government. No one should be ignorant. There are no longer any walls around the American death camps.
By the way, if anyone reading this is thinking that abortion is no big deal, that the fetus being killed is just a blob of flesh, is not conscience, or feels no pain, let me disabuse you of that abortionist lie: unborn babies, particularly in the first several months of life, feel pain more intensely than we do. Why? Because they have not developed pain inhibitors. Listen to the Director for Human Dignity at the Family Research Council explain this horrible reality:
Perhaps the best way to consider what really happens with legal abortion is to think about your arms, legs, and other appendages being ripped off one by one. And then try to conceive of the pain associated with such horror and multiply it. If you could really imagine such terror, you would still only get a fraction of what Planned Parenthood’s babies are subject to.
Abortion and the trade of fetal parts is morally repugnant and must be stopped. And the multi-billion dollar industry that has grown up around it must be exposed and banned.
But how do we do this? Planned Parenthood receives most of its funding from the federal government (over 40%) and corporate sources (over 25%). You would think that given the recent publicity surrounding Planned Parenthood’s body harvesting and its central role in the trade of baby parts that politicians and corporate sponsors would run as fast as they could from this bloody organization. But precisely the opposite has happened.
Republicans-in-name-only, chiefly Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, stopped a Planned Parenthood defunding bill that was attached to must-pass legislation. Later, he allowed a defunding vote when it was a stand-alone bill and had absolutely no chance of surviving a presidential veto. Yet, even with this charade, the U.S. Senate couldn’t muster the votes on cloture to get the measure through to the floor for an up or down vote.
Corporate America has had an even worse reaction. Although three major companies (Ford, Xerox, and Coca Cola) demanded that Planned Parenthood “de-list” them as corporate sponsors (they formerly matched employee donations to Planned Parenthood but apparently no longer do), other corporations doubled down.
According to the magazine Fortune, corporate donations to Planned Parenthood in the wake of the horrific videos have actually increased. Fortune could not identify any corporate donors who had pulled the plug. In fact, a number of corporations publicly endorsed Planned Parenthood despite the exposure of its barbaric practices.
It is imperative that We the People act where we can. An effective start would be to stop – TODAY – purchasing any product, or having any account, with any corporate entity that helps fund Planned Parenthood. Pro-life Alaskans should also write the corporate boards of the donor companies, and the management of their branch offices in Alaska. To help in this task, go HERE for a listing of companies that donate to Planned Parenthood as well as HERE for a sample letter that you can send those companies.
Finally, we must have a position of NO compromise when it comes to our political candidates and elected leaders. If any politician supports Planned Parenthood and/or abortion, you should NEVER vote for them, no matter their opponent.
It is critical that we act now. The future of our nation, our state, and our children – born and unborn -depend on it.

Several dozen major corporations are responsible for funding Planned Parenthood with hundreds of millions of dollars. Those donations fund 100% of over one-quarter of Planned Parenthood’s operations, operations that include killing over 300,000 pre-born babies per year.
Horrendously, parts from these babies are then fed into a multibillion dollar American industry that directly profits from the murder of the unborn. Read more about this HERE.
We encourage you to stop purchasing goods and services from any corporation that is helping fund Planned Parenthood. We also encourage you to write a letter or email to, or even call, the corporate office of each of these corporations and explain why you will no longer spend money their way.
For your convenience, we have included a list of the offending corporations HERE – along with their contact information – that are helping to directly fund Planned Parenthood’s operations.
Finally, we have created a form letter HERE that you are free to use in lodging your complaint against Planned Parenthood-supporting companies.
Thank you for your fight for life. And may God Bless your efforts.

Today, comedian Rosie O’Donnell said “women’s rights“ are under attack in America and that politicians are undoing all the advances abortion activists have made. The Hill reports that O’Donnell told Jenny Hutt on SiriusXM’s radio program that she believes there is a war on women. She said, “Bigger than any specific people, there is a war on women that is happening in this country. Women fought for equality in this country, and right now, politically, it’s being taken away from us.”
Then, unbelievably, O’Donnell said she would like to do this to pro-lifers: “I’d like to take my period blood I no longer have and write, ‘you’re all assh—s.’ I’d like to smear it all over some people’s faces.”
Additionally, during the interview with Hutt, she said that London Marathoner Kiran Ganhi’s decision to run without a tampon while menstruating is a critical demonstration for women’s rights.
Although O’Donnell didn’t mention the Planned Parenthood scandal specifically, it is likely she is referring to pro-life Senate Republicans who tried to defund the abortion company in light of videos showing their top executives haggling over the price of aborted babies’ body parts. Unfortunately, Senate Democrats defeated the legislation even though the videos expose Planned Parenthood’s complete disregard for human life and countless potential violations of federal law.
As LifeNews previously reported, O’Donnell recently canceled her plans to adopt another child after finding out that he faced health problems. Earlier this year, O’Donnell separated from her wife, Michelle Rounds, and news reports reveal that the pair plans to divorce. In fact, right now they are in the middle of an ugly custody battle for their daughter, Dakota, who was born in 2013.

By Caleb Howe. On Thursday afternoon, Alliance Defending Freedom issued a press release stating that a Superior Court of the State of California has rule in StemExpress v. The Center for Medical Progress, deciding the group has no rights to the materials produced by an undercover investigative journalist.
“People who don’t have anything to hide don’t go to court to stop journalists from reporting the truth,” said Freedom of Conscience Defense Fund President Chuck LiMandri. “The court was right to deny StemExpress’ request to gain access to damaging material against them obtained through solid investigative journalism.”
LiMandri explains exactly why. “Americans have the right to know the truth about Planned Parenthood’s sale of baby body parts and the ‘fiscal rewards’ Stem Express says that it provides to abortion clinics.” It is that right which StemExpress, Planned Parenthood, and their allies in the White House and elsewhere have attempted to deny.
Speaking with Truth Revolt by email, Senior Counsel for Alliance Defending Freedom Casey Mattox adds:
“The Court has rightly stopped Stem Express from using a meritless lawsuit to try to silence the Center for Medical Progress. Americans have a right to know the truth about Planned Parenthood and its business deals with Stem Express. This decision brings us one step closer to the day Stem Express and Planned Parenthood have been dreading.”

By Hugo Olazar. An 11-year-old Paraguayan girl who was raped by her mother’s boyfriend gave birth Thursday, rekindling the uproar over authorities’ refusal to let her have an abortion.
The child, who was 10 when she was raped, gave birth by C-section to a girl that weighed 3.5 kilos (eight pounds), said Dolores Castellanos, the doctor that monitored the pregnancy.
The girl has named the baby Milagros, which is Spanish for miracles.
The pregnancy came to light when the girl went to the doctor with stomach pains in April. Doctors initially believed she had parasites, but discovered on examining her that she was five months pregnant.
The authorities’ handling of the case sparked outrage in this predominantly Catholic country, where abortion is illegal except when the mother’s life is deemed to be at risk. (Read more from this story HERE)
Heather Ellis and her husband, Josh, have always wished for children, but after their first son, Cason, was born, they struggled to get pregnant. Fertility drugs helped, and they were thrilled to discover they were expecting identical twin boys. However, at 18 weeks, Ellis began experiencing some pressure and had a feeling something was wrong.
Doctors performed an ultrasound and told Ellis that everything was fine, but she couldn’t shake the nagging feeling that something was not right. She followed her instincts and switched doctors, looking for a second and third opinion . . .
“When I first went in,” Ellis said, “and they noticed that it wasn’t looking good, they offered me abortion and I just couldn’t do that” . . .
On August 6, 2015, Ellis decided to share their photograph with the world through Facebook. Underneath the photo she wrote:
With all this talk of abortion right now, I want people to know that this is what a 22 week old child looks like. This was just minutes after my twins passed away after living and breathing for about 30 minutes last November (Chase, the one on the right, looks different because he was in the sac without amniotic fluid for a couple days). It is legal to abort children at this age in way too many places. While I was holding my babies, wishing they would survive, babies at the same gestation that could have survived are being torn apart and discarded. It makes my heart sad. There are so many better options (adoption being my personal favorite). These are precious children of God. I love you Chase and Cooper, and I hope someone will see this and reconsider their choice.

After national controversy surrounding the Planned Parenthood abortion businesses’ sale of aborted babies and aborted baby body parts, Indiana Governor Mike Pence signed into law a new measure providing that aborted babies may be buried or cremated.
The new law would help stop the kind of sale of aborted babies and their body parts that Planned Parenthood facilities in other states have been caught arranging. Although Roe v. Wade prohibits states from banning abortions, pro-life advocates in Indiana believe the aborted baby ought to at least be treated respectfully even if the abortion clinic treated the baby with disrespect before the abortion.
The aborted fetal remains bill (SEA 329), establishes rules as to how abortion facilities must dispose of aborted babies and allows the pregnant woman to choose a different method at her own expense (i.e. burial). As testimony revealed, the Indianapolis Planned Parenthood facility was disposing aborted babies down a drain into the sewer system, the Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) implemented emergency disposal rules on July 1.
Pence today ceremonially signed a measure authored by State Sen. Liz Brown (R-Fort Wayne) ensuring all health-care facilities, including abortion clinics, appropriately dispose of the bodies of babies killed in abortions.
The law also provides women who have an abortion the same option as those who have a miscarriage when deciding to either bury or cremate their baby. (Read more from “This State Just Signed a Bill Saying Aborted Babies May Be Buried or Cremated” HERE)

A skilled surgeon needs a scalpel, but killers can get by with cudgels. That is because it’s a whole lot easier to smash a skull than to separate conjoined twins. America’s abortion status quo is corrupt and callous, a regime of highly organized crime which lets abortionists legally kill an unborn child through all nine months of pregnancy for any reason, and be massively subsidized by the government to do it. Taxpayer-funded Planned Parenthood clinics are strategically planted in poor, non-white neighborhoods across the country, still serving Margaret Sanger’s racist mission of getting “more children from the fit, fewer from the unfit.” More than a million American children have been destroyed each year, every year since 1973. And now we know that Planned Parenthood is selling those dead children to labs to boost its “revenue streams.”
The pro-choice movement defends this annual human sacrifice with blunt, heavy-handed weapons, which it uses to keep control. But those weapons are losing their force, as the prime-time Republican debate resoundingly proves. In fact, the only clear winner of that debate was the pro-life movement.
Abortion’s best defenses are ignorance and apathy. When pro-lifers succeed in getting out truthful information that makes people care — like the videos captured by the Center for Medical Progress — the Abortion Syndicate sends out enforcers with lead-weighted truncheons in the form of gag orders, distortions and lies.
The biggest, heaviest lie that these thugs like to swing around is the charge of “extremism.” Most normal people don’t want to think of themselves as isolated zealots. So if someone is speaking a highly inconvenient truth, the best way to squelch it is not to engage his arguments, but to claim that he’s out there alone, then rouse all the sheep to try to drown him out, ala Animal Farm: “Pro-choice good, pro-life b-a-a-a-a-a-d!”
In the primetime Republican debate, Megyn Kelly of FoxNews tried out this sheep bomb on more than one candidate. She went hardest after America’s most effective pro-life governor, Scott Walker of Wisconsin. In the same style she used to confront Donald Trump for his piggish remarks about women, Kelly confronted Walker with his support for a no-exceptions law protecting all unborn life.
She cited a study suggesting that Walker was out of sync with 83% of Americans. Kelly clearly expected him to backpedal, cave, or flinch, but she must have forgotten who Walker is: The governor who month after month faced down the angry mobs recruited by greedy public employee unions. Walker didn’t blink, but calmly reiterated his support for a blanket protection of every unborn child in America. Then he noted that he had defunded Planned Parenthood four years ago, long before its appalling human organ trafficking business was even exposed, and called out Hillary Clinton as the real extremist for standing behind that violent organization. Walker’s answer was a real profile in courage — and a tribute to the strength and dedication of America’s pro-life movement.
Kelly then turned her fire on Marco Rubio, trying to claw out a “gotcha” moment by quoting New York’s Cardinal Dolan, who criticized pro-life politicians that will not protect unborn children conceived in the course of rape or incest. She assumed that Rubio embraced those broad and easily-abused exceptions, and demanded to know how he would answer the cardinal’s attack. Rubio looked puzzled, and quickly corrected Kelly: He had never endorsed abandoning those unborn children either, and wondered where she had gotten that false impression. He went on later to speak of how future generations will look back on us as “barbarians” for “murdering millions of babies.”
The truth about abortion was running free all through the debate, and the Abortion Syndicate’s soldiers were surely shaking in their jackboots. Ted Cruz was characteristically eloquent and forthright in unfolding his pro-life record. Jeb Bush cited his own consistent pro-life lawmaking, but another questioner pressed him hard for having sat on the board of the Bloomberg Foundation that funded Planned Parenthood. He defended himself, in part, by pointing to Florida funding he had provided to pro-life pregnancy centers. I hope that the hard-working, unpaid volunteers who man (but mostly woman) these front-line emergency wards for mothers with crisis pregnancies take heart from this: A leading candidate running for president wants to wrap himself in your flag. Pause for a moment. Be proud of yourselves.
Mike Huckabee was bold enough to speak of using the 5th and 14th Amendments to correct the ignorant decision of Roe v. Wade, which science has rendered hopelessly outdated. The latest technology has shown us clearly and unmistakably the humanity of the unborn, and the law must catch up with the verdict of modern medicine.
No one asked Rand Paul, Ben Carson, Chris Christie, or John Kasich about abortion, but their pro-life positions are not in doubt. In fact, here at the top-card debate of the leading presidential candidates for the Republican nomination, not a single candidate was willing to call himself pro-choice. At the afternoon debate with the darker-horse contenders, only one Republican, the almost forgotten George Pataki, fessed up to that position — and really, what has he got to lose?
Even Donald Trump had to claim that he had a pro-life conversion. No it wasn’t convincing, but he felt constrained to say it — this man who is blunt enough to violate nearly every tenet of political correctness and even common courtesy. He had to say it.
At this debate, foreign aid to Israel, of all things, was up for dispute between Chris Christie and Rand Paul. But abortion wasn’t. No Republican was willing to embrace the extremist position that favors our current status quo of a million dead babies each year. That tells us something: The hearts and minds of Americans are changing. The truth is out. The thugs are on the run. (Re-posted with permission from the author, “Who Won the Republican Debate?

Medical researchers are growing human organs in mice by implanting dead human baby organs into rodents, a practice that stands to gain greater scrutiny in light of undercover videos exposing what appears to be Planned Parenthood affiliates selling aborted baby parts to medical procurement companies like StemExpress.
In a fourth video released from the Center for Medical Progress (CMP), Planned Parenthood personnel can be seen sifting through aborted baby parts allegedly to show what parts can be salvaged and sold.
These mice or rats are created by removing a human organ such as a kidney from a dead human baby and implanting it into a mouse or rat for the purpose of medical research.
As reported in Live Science, Duke University medical student Eugene Gu co-authored a study released in January in which he said, “Our long-term goal is to grow human organs in animals, to end the human donor shortage.” According to the report, Gu is also founder and CEO of Redwood, California biotech company Ganogen, Inc.
“In the new study, Gu and his colleagues obtained human fetal kidneys from StemExpress, a Placerville, California-based company that supplies researchers with tissue from deceased adults and fetuses,” reported Live Science in January. Gu contends that the mothers consented to donation, and scientists were separated from the “donation process.” (Read more from “Report: Aborted Baby Parts Being Used to Grow Human Organs in Rodents” HERE)
