abortion on demand

Democrat-led states were eager to show just how permissive they are in allowing the most abortions, without restriction, on the 46th anniversary of Roe v. Wade.

Planned Parenthood says it performed 332,757 abortions in the past year – 11,373 more than the 321,384 abortions the group performed in the year 2016-2017. The number of abortions performed contrasts sharply with the number of adoption referrals – 2,831.

National pro-life leaders say they are celebrating the “most pro-life Senate in American history” and the “reshaping of the federal judiciary,” even as House Democrats appear bent on expanding abortion in America.

“Regardless of whether a Democrat, Republican, black, white, male, female, we fight –” Jackson called to the crowd, who shouted back, “for life!”

Daines told the thousands of pro-life activists gathered on the National Mall, “I have a very exciting announcement to share with you here today. I’m very proud to announce that I have founded the first-ever pro-life caucus in the United States Senate.”

March for Life 2019 is celebrating how science and technology have revealed the humanity of the child in the very first stages of development in the womb.

A vote this week on the measure – as hundreds of thousands of pro-life activists descend upon the nation’s capital during the March for Life – would mark the first time the Senate has voted on this legislation.

“As in past years, this poll shows that the pro-choice label on the abortion issue is simply insufficient,” said Knights of Columbus CEO Carl Anderson. “The majority of Americans – in both parties – support legal restrictions on abortion.”

A poll released Monday by the nation’s largest organization of pro-life youth found that 70 percent of millennials support limits on abortion.

Three Republican women in Congress — two in the House and one in the Senate — have introduced bills to eliminate taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood.

The new president of Planned Parenthood took to Twitter Tuesday to finally confirm her organization’s “core mission” is abortion.

Additionally, the bill eliminates any concept that an unborn baby is a “person.” The legislation ends criminal penalties for self-abortion and – in the case of an unborn baby who is the victim of a homicide – defines “person” as “a human being who has been born and is alive.”

“Planned Parenthood envisions a culture where abortion access is understood as a basic human right, an essential part of health care and a normal part of life,” said Dr. Jill Meadows, medical director for Planned Parenthood of the Heartland, in a statement.

Chris Fitzpatrick, a consultant obstetrician and gynecologist at the Coombe hospital, wrote at the Irish Times that the push to start performing abortions is undermining clinical and safety concerns.

Abortion giant Planned Parenthood and all its allies are ready to make good use of what they say is an “unparalleled, pro-reproductive health majority” in the U.S. House.

House Democrats made the expansion of abortion one of their first orders of business in a bill that seeks to end the partial government shutdown.

Republican state Sen. Bill Beagle flipped his vote on the measure when it was time to vote on overriding the veto. Beagle had previously voted to pass the bill in committee and then again, later, when it was on the floor of the state Senate. Despite his previous votes in favor of the measure, however, he said it failed to meet his “higher standard” for overriding Kasich’s veto.

Outgoing Gov. John Kasich has echoed the sentiments of Planned Parenthood and Democrats, referring to the “Heartbeat Bill” as unconstitutional. He has said he did not want to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars defending the bill in court.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich has signed into law a measure that bans dismemberment abortions in the state.

The Democrat blasted abortion proponents Thursday during an episode of the New York Times’ The Daily podcast after Times reporter Sabrina Tavernise pointed to McCaskill’s possibly being seen as waffling on abortion rights as a reason for her loss to pro-life Republican Josh Hawley.

The Obama-appointed director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) says that human fetal tissue from elective abortions “will continue to be the mainstay” for federal research.

Illinois is an abortion “haven” with few restrictions on the procedure, says a recent report in the Chicago Tribune that cites thousands of women traveling into the state to end their pregnancies.

A 2017 study by the Charlotte Lozier Institute (CLI), the research arm of the pro-life Susan B. Anthony List, found that Planned Parenthood depends primarily on its abortion-centered business model – and is not a significant provider of medical care in the United States, despite its self-promotion as an “irreplaceable” and “life-saving” healthcare provider, as Wen professed.

New Planned Parenthood president Dr. Leana Wen sent out a fundraising email to ask for notes of “thanks” to be sent to those who work at the organization’s abortion facilities around the country.

The pro-life Susan B. Anthony List (SBA List) has released an ad that exposes the pro-abortion record of Mississippi Democrat nominee for U.S. Senate Mike Espy.

Americans will be funding increasingly more elective abortions through Obamacare state exchange plans unless Congress passes the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Law, says Family Research Council (FRC).

The organization’s most recent annual report for 2016-2017 shows Planned Parenthood continues to perform over 320,000 abortions per year while offering minimal services, such as ultrasounds during pregnancy, and other necessary services needed by low-income pregnant women who want to have a healthy baby.

“We found out it’s a girl, but she has zero chance of survival,” Brooke said. “We decided to carry her long term or as long as she survives.”

The pro-life movement gained victories both with ballot measures and in the U.S. Senate, but Democrat control of the House will present a fierce challenge.

Missouri Democrat Sen. Claire McCaskill dodged a Weekly Standard (WS) reporter’s question about whether she supports the Hyde Amendment “multiple times” before “finally” agreeing the federal government should not fund abortions through Medicaid.
