There’s been a lot of talk lately about legislation related to abortion and/or fetal life. Of course there is the Pence Amendment. I’ve seen people use this legislation as evidence that pro-lifers really don’t care about abortion and really do just want to control everyone’s sex lives by preventing them from accessing vital health care […]
From LifeNews.com: After a Democratic-controlled state Senate committee that traditionally kills pro-life bills defeated the abortion clinic regulations measure, Del. Kathy Byron, a Republican, on Monday put forward an amendment to SB 924, a Senate bill on health and safety regulations for hospitals. The amendment essentially attached the pro-life bill the Virginia state Senate Education […]
Planned Parenthood’s reaction to the House passage of the Pence Amendment has been to pretend that abortions are an insignificant part of its business. For instance, in an online appeal for petition signatures, Planned Parenthood described itself as providing “birth control, cancer screenings, HIV testing, and other lifesaving care.” Moderate pro-choicers are seeing right through […]
Domestic News: Following the horrors involving Gosnell in Pennsylvania, legislators in Delaware are looking to enact safety and health regulations regarding abortion clinics.

The events are reminiscent of the Terri Schiavo saga both in the diagnosis– persistent vegetative state– and the intense media interest. But unlike Terri’s case, no one is trying to keep Joseph […]
I’m sure you’re all aware by now that the Pence Amendment passed! H.R. 1, the continuing resolution, also addresses a number of other pro-life topics. Jill Stanek has a summary. In addition, the House decided not to fund Title X, which provides legitimate, non-life-taking women’s health care. (My guess? It’s a bargaining chip. The Senate […]
The vote will happen very soon. The National Right to Life Committee has a convenient page for finding your representative’s phone number. The Pence Amendment would deny all federal funding to Planned Parenthood and its affiliates for the rest of the fiscal year. It would not impact the amount of funding given to family planning […]
