Christian Arrested After Police Feared She Was Silently Praying Is Victorious in Legal Battle

After a six-month investigation, police in England have decided not to bring charges against a woman for silently praying outside an abortion clinic.

Police also issued an apology to Isabel Vaughan-Spruce, the director of the UK March for Life, for the length of time it took to reach the decision not to prosecute her for silent prayer. In March, the charity volunteer was arrested after she told police she “might” be praying silently when they asked why she was standing on a public street near an abortion facility.

The abortion clinic was in a so-called “buffer zone,” which was introduced by local authorities via a “Public Spaces Protection Order” and bans activities, such as prayer, that are considered a protest against abortion.

Vaughan-Spruce said in a statement upon receiving the apology from police that she never should have been arrested or investigated for the thoughts she held in her own mind because “this isn’t 1984, but 2023.”

“Silent prayer is never criminal,” she said. “I welcome West Midland Police’s decision to end their investigation and their apology for the time it took to do so, but it’s important to highlight the extremely harmful implications of this ordeal not just for myself, but for everyone concerned with fundamental freedoms in the UK.” (Read more from “Christian Arrested After Police Feared She Was Silently Praying Is Victorious in Legal Battle” HERE)

Doctors Told Woman to Abort Her Baby So She Could Treat Her Aggressive Brain Cancer. She Said No.

After doctors found an aggressive malignant tumor in Tasha Kann’s brain, the medical team advised the young mother to abort her unborn child and immediately start cancer treatments. Kann, leaning on her faith in God, told the doctors no.

The Michigan woman suffered a debilitating migraine while she was pregnant with her second baby back in 2022, she told Fox News. Soon after, a medical team diagnosed Kann, then 20-weeks pregnant, with anaplastic astrocytoma grade III.

“We recommend that you get an abortion,” Kann recalled doctors telling her. “They all looked at me and told me my best chances of survival would be to get an abortion and start treatment immediately — which might give me five to eight years of survival.” . . .

“I told them absolutely not,” Kann said, adding that she felt “disgusted” that this was something she’d be recommended to do. “If the cancer was already as bad as they said, killing my baby wouldn’t have saved me anyway.” . . .

Indeed, Kann gave birth to a healthy baby girl named Gracey in October. “Every single day, I look at my beautiful baby and think about how easy it was for them to tell me to abort — like she was nothing,” she told Fox.

This Country Just Decriminalized Abortion

Mexico’s Supreme Court deemed all federal penalties for abortion unconstitutional, announcing the controversial decision in the predominantly Catholic country in a social media post on Wednesday evening.

The court’s First Chamber issued a ruling saying that the federal criminal code that penalizes abortion “violates the human rights of women and persons with the capacity to gestate.”

The ruling responds to legal challenges regarding three statutes in the Mexican criminal code that sanction women who choose abortion, health professionals who perform abortions, and those who pressure pregnant women to abort. (Read more from “This Country Just Decriminalized Abortion” HERE)

Top U.S. Doctor Group Wants Taxpayers to Fund Uterus Transplants for Men!

. . .The Washington Examiner reported Wednesday: “The American Medical Association floated a trial balloon for uterus transplants for biological men who identify as transgender, pushing the next phase of ‘Frankenstein tech’ for cross-sex procedures. … An ethical analysis of uterus transplants for males published in the AMA’s Journal of Ethics in June detailed the ethical arguments behind such a procedure, including whether or not it should be taxpayer funded.”

The AMA Journal of Ethics article about expanding “uterus transplantation, or UTx, is titled, “Should Uterus Transplantation for Transwomen and Transmen Be Subsidized?” It discusses potential ways to fund the operations, which “in the United States, the costs of UTx have been estimated to run between $100,000 and $300,000,” according to the AMA.

The Examiner article, headlined “AMA plots move on taxpayer-funded uterus transplants for biological men,” reports: “The article notes that some reasons transgender-identifying biological men might want the transplant, UTx, is to gestate their own children or to “consolidate their identities but not gestate children.”

In other words, as the Examiner notes, the push for men (acting as and desiring to be “women”) having children is all about “justice and equality,” but as defined by “progressives,” who tend to put the desires and interests of LGBT activists as their top priority – to the dismay of the overwhelming majority of Americans.

“Trans women,” gender-confused men who want to live as “women,” insist that they are women. But real women, whom the Left has now labeled “cisgender” women, including many radical feminists and self-identified lesbians, say men can never be women and it violates genuine women’s and girls’ rights to treat them as such.

Senate Passes Defense Bill With No Block on Funding for Abortion Travel, Setting up Battle With House

The Senate passed its own version of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) on Thursday without adding an amendment to pull Pentagon funding for abortion travel, setting up a likely fight with the House.

The Senate’s NDAA was widely backed by both Republicans and Democrats, passing in an 86-11 vote.

“What’s happening in the Senate is a stark contrast to a bipartisan race to the bottom we saw in the House where House Republicans are pushing partisan legislation that has zero chance of passing,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said. “House Republicans should look to the Senate to see how things get done.”

The group of Republicans who voted against the bill included Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), and Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN). (Read more from “Senate Passes Defense Bill With No Block on Funding for Abortion Travel, Setting up Battle With House” HERE)

State Referring Women to Satanic Temple Provider for Abortions

The New Mexico government is reportedly referring women seeking to terminate their pregnancies to the Satanic Temple’s TST Health, which offers an “abortion ritual,” according to the New Mexico Alliance for Life.

In a press release on Tuesday, the New Mexico Alliance for Life announced that it has discovered that the state is actively referring women to the Satanic Temple Health (TST Health) via the state’s hotline, which is funded by taxpayers. The pro-life organization discovered this through what it described as a public records inspection.

The Satanic Temple’s TST Health, described as a “collaborative of reproductive rights advocates and abortion care providers contracted and directed by The Satanic Temple to advance its Reproductive Religious Rights Campaign,” openly boasts of its goal to expand access for mothers to end the lives of their unborn children. Earlier this year, the Satanic Temple touted the creation of the “world’s first religious abortion clinic,” which includes offerings of “abortion rituals.”

As Breitbart News detailed:

TST Health describes the “Abortion Ritual” as a “protective rite” designed to “cast off unwanted feelings” associated with taking the life of an unborn child. According to TST Health, the ritual involves spoken words exclusively and includes reciting the third tenet of the Satanic Temple — “One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone” — and the fifth — “Beliefs should conform to one’s best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one’s beliefs.”

Here’s How NYT Covered a Story About a Teen Who Aborted, Then Burned Her Baby

The New York Times (NYT) hid gruesome facts about a Nebraska teen, who aborted her near-full-term baby at home before burning and burying the fetus, to try and spin the story about abortion rights.

Then-17-year-old Celeste Burgess was nearly 30 weeks pregnant when she took an abortion pill her mother purchased to end the pregnancy. The Food and Drug Administration permits the pill for the first 10 weeks of pregnancy, while the abortion was past the 24-week mark, which is when the baby is considered able to live outside the womb.

Burgess was not charged with violating the state’s abortion law, but was instead charged for what she did after. Burgess pleaded guilty to removing or concealing human skeletal remains after she admitted to giving birth to the stillborn baby before burying it with her mother. Authorities said the women later dug the remains up, drove them to a different location and buried them again. A man who helped the women bury the baby told authorities the women tried to burn the fetus. The fetus’ body had “thermal injuries,” The Times reported.

But The Times hid the gruesome facts from its headline and lede paragraph, instead framing the sentencing as targeting women for having abortions.

“Nebraska Teen Who Used Pills To End Pregnancy Gets 90 Days In Jail,” the headline read. The sub-headline simply said the defendant and her mother were “charged last year after the police obtained their private Facebook messages.” (Read more from “Here’s How NYT Covered a Story About a Teen Who Aborted, Then Burned Her Baby” HERE)

Crazy Pentagon Spokesman Says Military Has Sacred Obligation to Kill Babies

National Security Council coordinator John Kirby wants to remind everyone that the Democratic Party is so thoroughly obsessed with letting people kill their unborn children that Democrats view it as an integral part of defense policy.

On Monday, Kirby defended the Department of Defense policy of paying for travel expenses for military members to end the lives of their unborn children. Kirby called funding abortion trips a “foundational sacred obligation” of the military and said that helping kill unborn children is how the military “takes care” of families. “It’s just the right darn thing to do,” he said.

In his three-minute rant, Kirby also drove home the idea that several female service members and the wives of service members said abortion laws in various states would discourage them or their spouses from continuing to serve in the military. “That means we lose talent, important talent, and we’re an all-volunteer force,” he said.

Democrat Rep. Compares Abortion Pills to Headache Medication (VIDEO)

On Monday, a Democratic Representative compared the abortion pill mifepristone to the headache and pain reliever Tylenol, even referring to the abortion pills as a “lifeline” for women.

Representative Cori Bush (D-MO) made the comments during a discussion on “Medication Abortion Access and Republican Efforts to Ban Abortion Nationwide.” Bush was joined by fellow Democrats on the House Oversight Committee, including Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin and Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett.

“Banning medication abortion would be like placing a ban on Tylenol [or] a ban on antibiotics,” Bush said. “There is no scientific, no valid medical reason to do so. It is only political propaganda.”

The Missouri congresswoman claimed the pills were “effective” and “safe” and said they were “no different from any other medication that’s safe and effective.” She said that for 23 years, the Food and Drug Administration approved of the pills, and went on to explain that, in her view, abortion pills are actually a “lifeline.”

“Medication abortion is a lifeline,” she said. “A lifeline for the person working multiple jobs that cannot afford to take a day off work because wages are too low or they don’t have paid sick leave, a lifeline for the mom of two who cannot afford childcare or cannot find affordable childcare.”

White House: ‘Very Difficult to See’ Biden Signing NDAA That Doesn’t Fund DEI, Abortion, Gender Transitions

On Friday’s broadcast of “CNN This Morning,” White House National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby said “It’s very difficult to see” President Joe Biden signing the current National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) passed by the House due to its restrictions on Pentagon DEI programs and taxpayer funding of gender reassignment treatment and abortion.

Co-host Kate Bolduan asked, “Do you see the President signing a National Defense Authorization Act that limits transgender rights, that rips out diversity training, and does exactly the opposite of what you said the President supports when it comes to access to reproductive rights?”

Kirby answered, “It’s very difficult to see the President supporting legislation that would make it harder for Americans to serve in uniform and to not be able to do so with dignity, to not be able to do so with the proper care that they need, both medical and mental care. It’s very difficult to see that the President would ever, ever sign legislation that would put our troops at greater risk or put our readiness at risk.” (Read more from “White House: ‘Very Difficult to See’ Biden Signing NDAA That Doesn’t Fund DEI, Abortion, Gender Transitions” HERE)
