By Daniel Gump (This article originally appeared on The Pro-Life Review.) It is often claimed by abortion proponents that induced abortions are “coded” the same as many other medical procedures. They also claim that physicians and pharmacists have withheld emergency treatments from patients to avoid any legal gray areas in states where induced abortions are […]
The Supreme Court has taken up the Biden administration’s lawsuit against the Texas Heartbeat Act and will hear oral arguments next Monday, November 1. This will not be an argument about the incorrectness of Roe and Casey. The Court has limited its consideration to one issue: “May the United States bring suit in federal court […]
Today’s guest post is by Daniel Gump. After passage of the Texas Heartbeat Act (Senate Bill 8), numerous misinformation campaigns have led to confusion among the general public as to what the legislation covers and how violations are handled. Because of this, I have encountered several of the same questions and inaccurate statements repeated on […]
There has been no shortage of pushback to SB 8, the Texas bill that bans almost all abortions after an embryonic heartbeat can be detected (about 4 weeks after fertilization, so 6 weeks gestation/LMP). Even many pro-lifers have expressed skepticism as to whether this bill is a good idea, often focused on concerns about the […]

The policy originated under Ronald Reagan and prevents US foreign aid funds for family planning from going […]
Yesterday, Live Action News published an excellent article by Dr. Michael New entitled “No, Democratic presidents do not cause large declines in the abortion rate.” The article debunks a recent round of memes which purport to show major abortion declines under Democratic presidents compared to Republican presidents — a claim so stale, Snopes rated it false […]
Earlier this month, you may have seen a few headlines about “Satanic abortions” that made you roll your eyes and flash back to kooky chain emails you received from your uncle in the early 2000s. Allow me to explain what is going on. Let’s begin by clarifying the nature of the Satanic Temple, which despite […]
