I never tire of reading about the impact of ultrasounds. As the New York Post’s Rikki Schlott once wrote, “Today, ultrasounds are more advanced than ever. Gone is the era of the traditional, black and white, grainy 2D images. Now, through 3D, 4D, and HD ultrasounds — which were developed and entered commercial use in the 1990s — women are able to access clear, photo-quality images of fetuses and even video footage of the fetus’ movement. ” In particular I glommed on to the work GOP pollster Wes Anderson.  We learn from “How next-gen ultrasounds are ..read more

Attorney General Todd Rokita is fighting efforts by the federal government to ride roughshod over state laws protecting human life and prohibiting abortions. This week, Attorney General Rokita is supporting Idaho as it argues before the Supreme Court to protect its Defense of Life Act from preemption under the federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA). In February, General Rokita led a 22-state amicus brief backing Idaho’s common-sense stance. “Hoosiers know that when federal bureaucrats come after pro-life laws in Idaho or any other state, they will soon be coming after pro-l ..read more

Scotland’s proposed assisted suicide bill could allow assisted suicide for people with anorexia from as young as 16 years olds, an ethics expert has argued. Professor David Albert Jones, Director of the Anscombe Bioethics Centre, has argued that the broad definition of terminal illness present in the Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults (Scotland) Bill could allow state-assisted suicide for people suffering from anorexia. “It is called the Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults (Scotland) Bill, so that proclaims itself as being restricted to people who are terminally ill, but i ..read more

The Arizona state House has bowed to the pro-abortion mob by approving a measure to repeal the state’s new abortion ban before it ever reached implementation to begin saving babies. With the ban repealed, babies would lose almost all protection in the state. A 15-week abortion ban would go into place that only allows protecting babies up to that point – meaning 90% of more abortions would become legal. The pro-life group Center for Arizona Policy lameted the vote in comments to LifeNews. “Today’s House vote to repeal the pre-Roe law opens the door to great loss of life for unborn children and ..read more

While pro-abortion Vice President Kamala Harris does most of the heavy lifting, President Joe Biden will also parrot the pro-abortion talking points as he did yesterday in Tampa, Florida. The administration reportedly believes that the abortion issue will put Florida’s 30 electoral votes in play. Florida, Biden tells us, is “ground zero for Trump’s MAGA blueprint.” And while “reproductive healthcare” was the euphemism of choice, Biden actually said the word “abortion” twice. Here are a few representative comments from yesterday campaign event at Hillsborough Community College. For 50 yea ..read more

Idaho officials fought at the Supreme Court today to protect babies from abortion, uphold its pro-life state law and to stop Joe Biden from turning Idaho emergency rooms into abortion centers. As LifeNews.com reported previously, the Supreme Court ruled in January that Joe Biden can’t force Idaho to turn its emergency rooms into abortion centers. The nation’s highest court ruled that Joe Biden can’t exploit a federal law to try to weaken Idaho’s abortion ban by allowing emergency room doctors to do abortions. But that decision was a temporary victory and Idaho oficials are fighting in court to ..read more

Police officers forcing women to take pregnancy tests during traffic stops, pregnant mothers being chained to hospital beds while tests are performed to verify rape — such are the dystopian images offered by California’s pro-abortion governor in a new spate of ads aired across the country. Starting Sunday, Governor Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) and his pro-abortion PAC Campaign for Democracy debuted a 30-second TV spot entitled “Fugitive” in Alabama. The video depicts a young woman trying to cross state lines to seek an abortion who is pulled over by a police officer armed with a pregnancy ..read more

An Indiana high school student and her pro-life student group are appealing a court decision against them in a lawsuit they filed after school officials derecognized the group because the student sought permission to post flyers that administrators found objectionable.

Noblesville School District entered their appearance in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit on Wednesday. In August 2021, the freshman student met with the principal of Noblesville High School to form a ..read more
