Domestic News: In Montgomery County, Maryland, a Judge struck down laws targeting crisis pregnancy centers. The law required crisis pregnancy centers to post that they do not have a medical person on-staff. Planned Parenthood locations are not bound by that same requirement. In New York City, Mayor Bloomberg signed into law legislation requiring the very […]
Numerous undercover projects have shown the willingness of Planned Parenthood employees to ignore cases of child abuse that they are legally required to report. The most recent of these was Live Action’s Traffick investigation. A few weeks after those videos were recorded, but before they were released, Planned Parenthood realized what was going on and […]
Thank you for bearing with us as we had no posts last week (except of course for Matthew Newman’s ever-reliable Wednesday news summary). Here are some tidbits from over the break: BryanKemper.com, a youth-focused Christian pro-life blog, was hacked. Over a year’s worth of content was deleted. They’re working on recovering the posts, but may […]
Domestic News: Pro-life legislators in Minnesota are hoping to establish a ban on abortions after 20 weeks. Why? Much like similar legislation passed in Nebraska, after 20 weeks scientists are more certain that the unborn child can feel pain. In 2009, 1.5% of all abortions in Minnesota were performed after 20 weeks. In Washington, a […]
Two events I’m passing along from the Expose Planned Parenthood coalition:1) There will be a webcast on Tuesday, March 7 at 9pm Eastern. Pre-register here.2) Students for Life, Live Action, and other youth-focused groups are sponsoring a video contest for pro-lifers between the ages of 14 and 25. In five minutes or less, share why […]
Yesterday, the Supreme Court announced its decision in Snyder v. Phelps. The case involved the Westboro Baptist Church (WBC), a small but extremely vocal congregation which believes that the deaths of American soldiers are God’s punishment for homosexuality. (WBC also has a problem with… well, just about everyone who’s not a member of WBC.) It […]
Welcome to March. Here’s your midweek news roundup. Domestic News: On Monday in Texas, the State Senate passed a bill requiring women to see an ultrasound of the baby prior to an abortion. The House will be reviewing a similar bill today. If passed, it will go to a conference committee to deal with the […]
A week ago, Jill Stanek’s weekend question was about one of my pet peeves, sidewalk counselors who yell. I’ve never seen an experienced counselor do this in person (and the only people who I’ve ever seen attempt it were immediately ostracized and soon went away). However, because yellers do exist, there is a certain stigma […]
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 […]
