The Editors, EWTN News – Our sexual culture is broken and bruised and deeply ill. Physical intimacy and relationships have been reduced to vehicles of self-gratification, our bodies are treated as malleable raw material, and God is, for many, at best an afterthought in the background of it all… Faced with such confusion and disorder, it can be tempting to choose one of two false options: Batten down the hatches and hermetically seal ourselves off from the world (and our neighbors in it) as things continue to go to hell in a handbasket ….

By Matthew McDonald, EWTN News – Rachel Copeland-Nunn had no health insurance during her last two pregnancies, but she was the recipient of free prenatal medical care and baby supplies at a pro-life pregnancy-resource center in St. Paul that receives public funds from the Minnesota state government… “Today, I have three beautiful, healthy children whom I raise as a single parent, and the two youngest boys are here because of the medical team at Options for Women East” …

By Robert G. Marshall, Catholic Culture – President Biden’s Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin claims (10/20/22) that failure to adequately fund expanded “reproductive health care,” (i.e. abortion or child homicide before birth) “will interfere with our ability to recruit, retain and maintain the readiness of a highly qualified force.” Secretary Austin wants abortions funded beyond current law which is limited to circumstances of life of the mother, rape, and incest.

By Joshua Mercer, LifeNews – By Joshua Mercer, LifeNews – The House Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government on Thursday heard testimony from three former FBI agents … “If you’re a parent attending a school board meeting; if you’re a pro-lifer praying at a clinic, or you’re a Catholic simply going to Mass, you are a target of the government, a target of the FBI,” said House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, R-OH, ahead of the hearing.

By Cerith Gardiner, Aleteia – At birth, doctors believed there was no hope, but Derick Hall has now been signed up to join the Seattle Seahawks… Standing tall at 6ft 3in, and weighing an impressive 256 pounds, Derick Hall has come a long way in his 22 years… The outside linebacker was born four months prematurely without a heartbeat, weighing a tiny two pounds and one ounce, with a bleed on the brain. …

By Micaiah Bilger, LifeNews – A Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals judge called out the ridiculousness of the FDA classifying pregnancy as a serious illness to expedite approval of abortion drugs during a hearing Wednesday, asking, “When we celebrated Mother’s Day, were we celebrating illness?”… The Washington Post reported about the judge’s comment Wednesday but did not identify which judge said it during the highly anticipated hearing. The Hill later attributed the comment to Judge James Ho.

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews – The Care for Women, Children and Families Act protecting unborn children at 12 weeks is now law in North Carolina following supermajority votes to override Gov. Roy Cooper’s veto… North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper’s veto of a common sense bill to protect babies from abortions has lost its first of two battles. Both chambers of the state legislature voted to override his veto of a modest bill to protect babies from abortions starting at 12 weeks.

By Steven Ertelt. LifeNews – “President Trump’s assertion that the Supreme Court returned the issue of abortion solely to the states is a completely inaccurate reading of the Dobbs decision and is a morally indefensible position for a self-proclaimed pro-life presidential candidate to hold,” she said… Dannenfelser continued, “Life is a matter of human rights, not states’ rights. Saying that the issue should only be decided at the states is an endorsement of abortion up until the moment of birth, even brutal late-term abortions ….

By Mary Margaret Olohan, The Stream – Republican lawmakers will hold a hearing next week focusing on the Department of Justice’s targeting of pro-life activists like Mark Houck through the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, The Daily Signal has learned… On Tuesday morning, the House Judiciary subcommittee on the Constitution and limited government will revisit the “Implications of the FACE Act,” examining the shockingly high numbers of attacks on pro-life pregnancy centers around the nation as well as President Joe Biden’s administration’s use of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act.

By Tyler Arnold, CNA – The first baby born in the United Kingdom with DNA from three parents was born after doctors performed a revolutionary IVF procedure designed to prevent rare but dangerous mitochondrial diseases… The news that “less than five” children have been born in the U.K. through this process as of late April was first reported by The Guardian.

The HFEA avoided disclosing the exact number of babies to protect privacy.

By Micaiah Bilger, LifeNews – New documents uncovered by America First Legal suggest the Biden administration considers middle-age pro-life mothers to be potential domestic terrorists because they oppose killing unborn babies in abortions… The documents from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security include information about a proposed “Choose Your Own Adventure” training program that portrays a “middle-aged pro-life” mother as a “radicalization suspect” who should be watched out for.

Family Research Council) both of whom said Trump reassured them that he would strongly support pro-life legislation to protect babies from abortions… In comments to LifeNews, Dannenfelser described it as a “terrific meeting.”

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews – A federal appeals court appears likely to either block the abortion pill nationwide or at least ban mail-order abortions… That’s because the makeup of the three-judge panel that will consider the major case doctors filed against the FDA’s approval process of the dangerous abortion drug are conservative appointees who understand there is not a right to abortion… Last month, the Supreme Court allowed continued sales of the abortion pill while the case continued at the lower court level. The vote was 7-2, with Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissenting.

By Fr. Shenan J. Boquet, Human Life International – The world is starving for lack of love. Not for a lack of office workers, or lawyers, or doctors. But for love. And yet, for some reason, we have dismissed the fundamental role that mothers play, and have always played, in bringing more love into the world: loving a person from the very first moments of his or her existence. If she feels called to, and if circumstances allow for it, a mother should feel zero guilt in seceding from the marketplace in order to devote her full attention to her children. She is, after all, doing the most important work in the world: shaping human souls.

By William Mahoney, Ph.D., Church Militant – Two of five pro-life advocates are free from jail after witnessing behind bars to inmates. Dr. Monica Miller and John Hinshaw of Red Rose Rescue were released from jail on Friday while Laura Gies, Matthew Connolly and Fr. Fidelis Moscinski will remain behind bars with varying release dates… “Indeed, when our fellow inmates know why we are in jail, we receive much respect and support!” she stated.

By John M. Grondelski, Crisis Magazine – Two writers have flagged something much of the political class dances around with pirouettes that would make the Juilliard School jealous: the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) is pro-abortion. They quote Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) who, in remarks on the Senate floor April 27, made the pro-abortion nexus of the ERA clear… The Senate was taking up a resolution purportedly to declare the ERA part of the Constitution and retroactively to remove the seven-year ratification deadline Congress set when it proposed the amendment in 1972, which expired in 1979.

By Raymond Wolfe, LifeSiteNews – Republican-led states are pushing back against the radical LGBT movement with a wave of new laws restricting devastating transgender surgeries and drugs for children… 2023 has been a breakthrough year in the fight against LGBT ideology and the grave danger it poses to children.

By American Life League – Planned Parenthood has trumpeted its huge profits and boasted of aborting 1,025 babies each day in its 2021-2022 Annual Report.

By Micaiah Bilger, LifeNews – Doctors celebrated the success of a pioneer surgery this week that saved an unborn baby girl’s life – and potentially could save thousands more… baby Denver underwent the first successful fetal brain surgery in March at Boston Children’s Hospital, and now is thriving at home with her Louisiana family… “We are pleased to report that at six weeks, the infant is progressing remarkably well…”

By Melissa Ohden & Marjorie Dannenfelser, Real Clear Politics – Every day across the country, scenes of stark disparity in who receives health care play out in a way that would shock most Americans. In one reality, in the neonatal intensive care unit, doctors are heroically working to save the tiniest, most fragile patients – premature babies – and their coworkers are striving to keep the new mothers stable. Meanwhile, in another room, possibly down the hall in the same hospital, or maybe down the road in the same city, a baby identical in age is left on a cold metal tray to die, struggling to live.

By Phil Lawler, Catholic Culture – One of our major political parties is now slavishly committed to the promotion of abortion. The other party, unfortunately, is divided. “Moderate” Republicans warn that abortion is a winning issue for Democrats, and therefore Republicans should avoid it. Even Donald Trump, whose record in the Oval Office was solidly pro-life, has suggested that pro-life support may be a burden rather than a benefit for Republican candidates.

By Matt Lamb, LifeSiteNews – The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is offering a $1.5 million grant to a provider of a planned abortion hotline, reflecting President Joe Biden’s priority of expanding abortion through all nine months of pregnancy at taxpayer expense without any limits… The Office of Population Affairs wants to establish a “hotline” to provide information to “pregnant clients” on “pregnancy termination” as well as adoption and prenatal care.

By Fr. Shenan J. Boquet, Human Life International – (S)ome extremist Democrat legislators are trying to change the law so that transgender activists can push parents out of the picture with complete legal impunity. In Washington State, for instance, Senate Democrats recently passed a bill that allows youth shelters not to tell parents where their runaway child is, if they are unsupportive of the child’s transgenderism. (The bill also allows youth shelters not to inform parents where their child is, in cases in which the parents do not support their child getting an abortion.)

By LifeSiteNews staff, LifeSiteNews – Referring to a tweet that (Bishop Joseph Strickland) posted in response to Students for Life president Kristen Hawkins on how the Republican Party platform and the “pro-life generation” demand a total end to abortion, His Excellency said, “If we understand what abortion is, the taking of a human life, then we can’t say, ‘Well, you can take a few,’ or ‘If they’re young enough, yeah, you can kill them.’ I mean, that makes no sense.

By Tierin-Rose Mandelburg, CNSNews – Roe v. Wade was overturned last year, which was a momentous occasion in the fight for life. But despite that win, Planned Parenthood, the most popular baby-killing coalition, murdered 375,155 children through abortion last year alone… And our government helped them… The taxpayer-funded organization’s latest annual report published this week provided shocking, but not surprising, stats on the group’s abortion efforts, even as many states have moved to put more restrictions on the procedure.

By Micaiah Bilger, LifeNews – Dr. Monique Wubbenhorst, a renowned medical professor and researcher, asked a poignant question of pro-abortion lawmakers Wednesday that exposed the false claim that killing unborn babies is part of good medicine… “If abortion is health care, my question is: what disease are you treating?” Wubbenhorst asked U.S. Senate lawmakers who want to legalize abortion on demand nation-wide.

By Jonah McKeown, Shannon Mullen, Catholic News Agency – Frank Pavone, (National Dir. Priests for Life), has repeatedly… “This is not just an attack on me,” Pavone said in a Dec. 19, 2022… Pavone’s narrative is difficult to square with his recent troubles, however, as former members of his own organization and other leaders in the wider pro-life community have sought to distance themselves from him, especially after several women went public with allegations that Pavone sexually harassed them while they worked for him at Priests for Life.

By Louis Knuffke, LifeSiteNews – Republican U.S. Congressman Chris Smith of New Jersey, co-chair of the Congressional Pro-Life Caucus, denounced the FDA’s “illegal approval process” for the abortion pill that’s at the center of last week’s U.S. Supreme Court decision to allow the lethal drug to remain on the market as a lawsuit proceeds through the lower courts… The pro-abortion ruling, which was not explained, was decided in a 7-2 vote, with Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito as the dissenting voices.

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews – The Supreme Court is allowing continued sales of the dangerous abortion pill that kills babies and has killed and injured women… The vote was 7-2, with Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissenting… The nation’s highest court ruled today in an unsigned order that the abortion drug mifepristone can continue being sold as is nationwide – turning back an effort by doctors to block sales or at (least) stop mail-order abortions that put women’s health at risk. It granted the request made by the Biden admin and Danco, the maker of the dangerous pill.

By Calvin Freiburger, LifeSiteNews – Former President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign angered leading pro-life voices this week by reportedly deemphasizing abortion in private comments, then appearing to disavow national action on abortion by leaving it for the states to decide… The Washington Post reported that Trump is privately “telling advisers that he believes [the abortion issue] is a difficult one for Republicans and not something he should focus his time on,” and that pro-life leaders were frustrated by Trump’s failure to raise the subject at all during a recent donor retreat.

By Fr. Shenan J. Boquet, Human Life International – In the year 2000, the US FDA approved two chemical abortion drugs. The pair of drugs – mifepristone and misoprostol – are sometimes referred to as RU-486. Used in tandem, they reliably kill a preborn child: first, by starving the developing preborn child and causing it to detach from its mother’s uterus, and secondly by provoking contractions that expel the dead child… Since the FDA approved RU-486, millions of abortions have been performed using these drugs. …

By Rai Rojas, LifeNews – The 56 annual UN Commission on Population and Development ended abruptly on Friday, April 14, in NY City. The Commission ended with a thud, not a bang, and turned the entire weeks-long process into an exercise in futility… Why?… There was not enough sex and abortion in the plan of action’s draft document, and the EU, USA, and Canada inserted radical and never before agreed upon language to begin making Comprehensive Sexual Education (CSE) a human right.

By Michael W. Chapman, CNSNews – The four bishops who shepherd Catholics in Colorado denounced the governor’s signing into law “three more extreme abortion bills,” which compound state law already allowing “abortion up-to-birth for any reason.” The bishops also directed all Catholic lawmakers who voted for the abortion bills to refrain from receiving Holy Communion… The Democrat governor of Colordao is Jared Polis, a pro-abortion homosexual who is “married” to another man, Marlon Reis.

By CNSNews – Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D.-N.Y.) sent out a tweet on Friday that linked to an Associated Press story about Gov. Ron DeSantis (R.-Fla.) signing legislation that bans abortion after the unborn child has a detectable heartbeat—which occurs about six weeks into pregnancy… “The MAGA GOP is hell-bent on banning abortion across the country,” Schumer said… The Florida law that DeSantis signed is called the Heartbeat Protection Act.

By Cassy Fiano-Chesser, LiveAction – A new report from the United Nations has called for all forms of drug use and sexual activity to be decriminalized globally… the report was released on International Women’s Day, with the goal of guiding “the application of international human rights law to criminal law.” Called the “8 March principles,” the report calls for offenses related to “sex, drug use, HIV, sexual and reproductive health, homelessness and poverty” to be decriminalized.

By Micaiah Bilger, LifeNews – “Baby Olivia,” an amazing animated video that walks through the development of an unborn baby, may be shown to public school students all across North Dakota next year… Earlier this month, the North Dakota Legislature passed a law to require public schools to educate students about an unborn baby’s development as part of the sex education curriculum. Included is a requirement to show middle and high school students a short educational video about an unborn baby’s development, including his/her brain, heart and other vital organs early in pregnancy.

By Matt Lamb, LifeSiteNews – Abortion is part of “satanic worship,” according to Abp. Salvatore Cordileone, who made the comments during a recent “spiritual warfare” conference… The pagan worship of the false god “Moloch” is similar to the worship of abortion today… Pagan worship is “in a certain sense, in a new kind of way, reviving now, and it is part of satanic worship, the abortion and sacrificing [of] children,” the archbishop said. …

By Rebecca Downs, Townhall – On Friday afternoon, the U.S. Supreme Court granted a temporary pause to the Biden administration’s Department of Justice (DOJ) when it comes to last Friday’s abortion pill ruling from U.S. District Court Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk. That ruling found that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) violated federal standards when it approved mifepristone to be used as an abortion method in 2000. …

By Peter Pinedo, CNA – Since a federal judge’s Friday ruling called the legality of the abortion drug mifepristone into question, the governors of New York, Washington, Massachusetts, and California revealed they have begun stockpiling years’ worth of chemical abortion supplies for use in their states… In the case that last week’s ruling suspending the FDA’s abortion pill approval is upheld by higher courts, these four governors intend to have a surplus of abortion drugs on hand.

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews – The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals has issued a ruling that removes the national block a federal judge placed on the dangerous abortion pill. However, the appeals court also banned mail-order abortions that put women’s lives at risk, condemned the improper FDA approval process for the drug and restored strict limits on the drug meant to protect women’s health that the Biden administration removed.

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews – Joe Biden is once again trashing a ruling by a federal judge that blocks the dangerous abortion pill. Biden already commented on the ruling that could save millions of babies from aboritons, but he went after the decision a second time today… Biden made it official yesterday, as his administration filed papers with a federal appeals court asking it to block a federal judge’s ruling blocking the abortion pill nationwide.

By Margot Cleveland, The Federalist – Federal Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk’s Friday decision freezing the FDA’s approval of the abortion-pill combination, mifepristone and misoprostol, included these phrases and more. And while the left is already attacking Kacsmaryk’s 67-page straight-talking opinion in Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. FDA by framing it as filled with anti-abortion rhetoric, the Trump appointee stuck to the facts — something Americans desperately need to hear after decades of euphemistic discussions about abortion.

By Zelda Caldwell, CNA – A federal judge in Texas issued a much anticipated ruling Friday that, if it holds up in court, could take the abortion drug mifepristone off pharmacy shelves due to safety concerns and in doing so, prevent over half of the abortions that take place in the country… U.S. Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk’s preliminary ruling found that the Federal Drug  Administration (FDA) did not follow proper testing and safety protocols when it approved the abortion drug in 2000. The judge allowed the FDA seven days to appeal his decision, which means the drug will still be available for the time being.

By Steven Ertelt, Micaiah Bilger, LifeNews – A Democrat lawmaker in North Carolina has officially switched parties and become a Republican — saying that Democrats are now so extreme that she does not even recognize the party she used to belong to anymore… North Carolina state Rep. Tricia Cotham made the move official today — effectively giving House Republicans a veto-proof majority against Democrat Gov. Roy Cooper, who is an ardent abortion activist and will likely veto a bill to protect babies from abortions.

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews – Rep. Mike Johnson, R-LA has introduced H.R. 792, the Child Interstate Abortion Act (CIANA), which would make it a federal crime to take a teen girl across state lines in avoidance of her home state parental involvement laws. Like the Idaho bill, CIANA also gives the child’s parents the right to sue if their parental rights are violated. It also includes exceptions for emergency situations in which an abortion is deemed necessary to save a mother’s life.

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews – The Florida Senate has passed a bill to ban abortions on unborn babies with beating hearts — which would make Florida the next state to officially protect the lives of unborn children after Roe was overturned last summer… The bill then passed by a 26 to 13 vote, with Republicans Sen. Alexis Catalayud and Corey Simon of NW Florida joining the Democrats in opposition.

By Fr. Shenan J. Boquet, Human Life International – But there is good reason to be asking some very hard questions about some recent trends in progressive rhetoric… In one of the most appalling failures of judgment in recent memory, in the wake of the Nashville shooting, transgender activists expressed their intention to carry on with a previously planned “Trans Day of Vengeance.” The event, scheduled for April 1 and organized by a group called Our Rights DC, was supposed to have participants come out for a protest at the U.S. Supreme Court to “stop trans genocide.”

By Aliya Kuykendall, The Stream – Katrina Mullen, a NICU nurse of 23 years, met Shariya Small when Small was 14 years old, the mother of triplets born prematurely. Now, over two years later, she’s an adoptive mother to Small and grandmother to the three toddlers… After five months as their NICU nurse and almost two years of fostering Small, Mullen officially adopted Small on Feb. 6, 2023. She did so to keep Small with her babies.

By Fr. Shenan J. Boquet, Human Life International – Recently, the U.S. bishop issued a thoughtful and profound statement on the issue of transgenderism. The statement gets at the very root of transgender ideology and offers some practical steps to resist the harm it is causing. One thing that the statement clarifies is that no Catholic hospital can ever be involved in body-mutilating gender surgeries or other such so-called “treatments.”… “The Hippocratic tradition in medicine calls upon all healthcare providers first and foremost to ‘do no harm’ [primum non nocere],” note the bishops.

By Micaiah Bilger, LifeNews – Congressman Mike Johnson joined U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville this week in demanding the Biden administration repeal an “unlawful” new policy that forces taxpayers to help pay for military members to abort their unborn babies in elective abortions… On Tuesday, Johnson, a Louisiana Republican, accused Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin of trying to find a “crafty workaround” to skirt laws that ban funding for abortions, NTD News reports.

By Steven Ertelt, Micaiah Bilger – San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone is taking Nancy Pelosi to task for supporting abortion… Last week, Pelosi claimed she is “pro-life” because she cares about born children during an event Thursday at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.

By Micaiah Bilger, LifeNews – Cong. Lauren Boebert displayed the shocking images of five late-term aborted babies Thursday during a U.S. House hearing, questioning why unborn babies have fewer legal protections than endangered species… “I do want to say before my opening remarks, you know, since we’re talking about the Endangered Species Act, I’m just wondering if my colleagues on the other side would put babies on the endangered species list,” Boebert said.

By Ashley Sadler, LifeSiteNews – “I can make secular arguments for whatever you want, but ultimately it’s going to come down to God because everything comes down to God,” the 32-year-old Daily Wire podcaster, author, and Catholic husband and father of two young boys remarked during the five-hour podcast episode livestreamed March 7.

By CNSNews – Rep. Diana DeGette (D.-Colo.) told TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew, when he testified in the House Energy and Commerce Committee on Thursday, that TikTok has to provide better information on terminating a pregnancy… “I want to ask you what TikTok can do to make sure to monitor this content,” DeGette told Chew. “And I want to give you some examples of some of the extreme content.” …

By Fr. Shenan J. Boquet, Human Life International – Recently two authors at the publication The Wire set out to answer the question, “What happens when abortion is banned?”… Given that Nita Bhalla and Anastasia Moloney are virulently pro-abortion, you won’t be surprised to find out that their answer is that whenever abortion is banned, a laundry list of horrible things happen. You also probably won’t be surprised that Bhalla and Moloney’s article completely ignores the single most important fact in the matter, i.e., the existence of the preborn child.

By Micaiah Bilger, LifeNews – Rhoades said the “reproductive justice” event at the Indiana Catholic university is causing “scandal” by promoting the opposite of justice: the killing of unborn babies in abortions… “… this lecture is simply a conduit for activist propaganda that is not merely wrong, but squarely contrary to principles of basic human equality, justice, dignity and nonviolence that the Catholic Church, Notre Dame, and many others (including non-Catholics) have affirmed for millennia,” …

By Jessica Kramer, Crisis Magazine – Even more problematic is the philosophical notion that we have the right to be creating life in a petri dish, completely divorced from the act of love that has made every human being since our first fallen parents, the act of love that, with God, wills another being into existence… It’s no wonder that the next logical step is to place this newly minted life made in the lab within another womb; and soon it won’t be a rented human womb but an artificial one.

By Micaiah Bilger, LifeNews – Louisiana state Rep. Francis Thompson has joined a growing exodus of pro-life individuals from the Democratic Party as its leaders push an increasingly radical pro-abortion agenda… Thompson switched to the Republican Party after saying he felt prompted by his values and his Christian faith… “The push the past several years by Democratic leadership on both the national and state level to support certain issues does not align with those values and principles that are a part of my Christian life…”

By Emmy Griffin, Patriot Post – The COVID pandemic also contributed in significant ways to this 2021 spike. Having COVID during pregnancy placed extra stress on an already maxed out body. COVID and the vaccines have been associated with heart health complications, and cardiovascular complication is the top cause of maternal death according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). During the pandemic, one could also point to women being hesitant to even seek medical help as quickly because of exposure risk.

By Michael Voris, Church Militant – This massive conference has become the premiere event in the pro-life world, with more than 1,000 attendees present. And it is altogether fitting that it is being held in Ohio because of what’s appearing on a statewide ballot this coming November. It’s a child-killing amendment to the state constitution that would allow abortion right through to the moment of birth — and nothing could ever be legislated against it because it would be in the state constitution.

By Jean Mondoro, LifeSiteNews – The largest abortion facility in Dallas, Texas has permanently closed its doors after killing innocent babies for 50 years… Southwestern Women’s Center shut down forever on March 2 after claiming the title of the city’s largest abortion mill since 1973.

By Terence P. Jeffrey, CNSNews – When then-Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton accepted the Democratic presidential nomination in 1992, he told the crowd at that party’s convention, “Abortion should be safe, legal and rare.”… That was in July. The following January — two days after his inauguration — Clinton made promoting abortion a central focus of his new administration… “Mr. Clinton signed five abortion-related memorandums on the 20th anniversary of Roe v. Wade,” The New York Times reported on Jan. 23, 1993.

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews – Leading pro-life groups in the UK are very upset today after MPs voted for censorship zones outside abortion centers that ban people from praying silently outside businesses that kill babies in abortions… MPs were voting on an amendment to a clause introducing buffer zones around abortion clinics, which had been added into the Public Order Bill at an earlier stage. The amendment sought to specify that silent prayer and consensual conversations outside abortion clinics would not be included in buffer zones legislation. This was defeated by 116 to 299.

By Rich Ronald, LifeNews – In a shocking release of whistleblower testimony, FBI Special Agent Garret O’Boyle claimed that the FBI began targeting pro-life pregnancy centers after the Dobbs decision last summer. Describing the FBI leadership’s directives to update threat tags that began targeting “pro-life adherence,” O’Boyle said, “When this threat tag came out, it was like, why are you focusing on pro-life people? … It’s pro-choice people who are the ones protesting or otherwise threatening violence…”

By Jordan Boyd, The Federalist – In its latest policy brief, the American College of Physicians (ACP) announced its official stance on abortion is that “individuals have the right to make their own decisions, in partnership with their physician or health care professional” without legal consequences… The ACP also used the brief, which was designed to “expand” on the organization’s 2018 policy, to formally condemn life-saving pro-life laws for banning the barbaric practice of in-utero dismemberment abortion and punishing anyone who illegally ends unborn lives.

Jackson, Fox News reports.

Wade has been overturned and states are saving babies from abortions… In just 6 months since the Dobbs decision on June 24, 14 states are already protecting babies from abortion and 2023 could see as many as 10 more states on board with abortion bans that help women and children.

By David Bjornstrom, LifeSiteNews – Pro-abortion groups are worried… It is just possible that chemical abortions — more than half of all U.S. abortions — soon could be outlawed nationwide… A Texas judge’s decision that could revoke the FDA’s approval of abortion drugs is expected soon. Or the judge could at least nullify FDA decisions in 2016 and 2021 that allowed at-home and mail-order chemical abortions… The case of Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. FDA argues that the FDA’s approval of abortion drugs in 2000 was based on flawed and inadequate testing procedures.

By Fr. Shenan J. Boquet, Human Life International – The demise of Roe v. Wade has fundamentally shifted the abortion debate in the United States. All signs point to abortion rates plummeting in states that have completely, or mostly, banned abortion since the overturning of Roe. And there is reason to hope that more states will follow suit… However, as I have so often emphasized in recent months, we cannot allow ourselves to get comfortable. The sad fact is that in the states where abortion remains legal, hundreds of thousands of women will have abortions this year!

By Amber Wade, The Federalist – Pro-abortion fanatics are attacking the crisis pregnancy centers that have worked to help many mothers break away from homelessness and despair… Every day women find themselves pregnant with no place to call home and no support for themselves or the child they want to keep.

Carolina the next state to officially ban abortions after the Supreme Court overturned Roe… The state House approved the Human Life Protection Act on an 83-31 vote. Rep. Jackie Hayes of Dillon was the only Democrat to vote for the bill along with pro-life Republicans… There is concern that the state Senate will not take up the bill.

By Peter Pinedo, CNA – A lighthearted Pringles commercial that aired during the Super Bowl on Sunday had a surprise, albeit possibly accidental, pro-life message… The commercial features a grandfather holding up a clear sonogram picture of a baby whose hand is stuck in a Pringles can.

Currently, it is used for almost half of all abortions in the U.S., according to the Guttmacher Institute.

But that didn’t stop law enforcement from enforcing a law specifically designed to silent pro-life people and arresting Father Gough and charging him.

By Georgiana Constantin-Parke, CNSNews – The case that life begins at conception and that the growing fetus is a baby cannot be made without relating it to the subsequent reality that a woman is a mother the moment she gets pregnant. There is no mother- to- be other than a woman pondering the possibility of getting pregnant. The pregnant one is already a mother, for she now has a child.

By Micaiah Bilger, LifeNews – Ahead of the speech, U.S. Sen. Ed Markey, D-Massachusetts, and U.S. Rep. Madeleine Dean, D-Pennsylvania, both posted photos of themselves on social media wearing golden lapel pins that read “ABORTION” with a stylized O with a heart inside… “I say the word, I wear the word,” Dean wrote on Twitter. “Abortion care is health care. Abortion care saves lives.”

By  Fr. Shenan J. Boquet, Human Life International – A few weeks ago, the prime minister of Japan had a startling message for his citizens. The country, said Fumio Kishida during a speech to lawmakers, is “on the brink of not being able to maintain social functions.”… The reason for this dire warning? The country’s rock-bottom birth rate… the nation’s measly birth rate of 1.3 children born per women, far below the replacement rate of about 2.1 children per woman.

By Micaiah Bilger, LifeNews – Pro-life advocates all across America held protests Saturday outside their local CVS, Walgreens and Rite  Aid pharmacies, urging the companies to cancel their plans to begin selling deadly abortion drugs… Many stood in the wind and snow and some were targets of hostile counter-protests as they defended unborn babies’ right to life in at least 95 different locations – from Pittsburgh to Chicago, San Francisco to Lansing, Michigan – with the #StopAbortionRx campaign.

By Ashley Sadler, LifeSiteNews – Andrew Klavan has argued that the figure is an apt representation of abortion and its connection with both evil and sexual promiscuity… “This is a statue that celebrates abortion as a satanic ritual that enslaves women to male sexuality and strips them of their magisterium, their central power, which is the creation of human beings and the nurturing and raising of children,” Klavan said.

By Micaiah Bilger, LifeNews – Staff at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum kicked out a group of Catholic students for wearing pro-life hats last month in violation of their First Amendment rights, a lawyer for the students said. Attorney Jordan Sekulow of the American Center for Law and Justice said the Washington, D.C. museum should expect legal action from the Our Lady of the Rosary School students for its “blatant discrimination.”

The Editors, EWTN News – An ancient aphorism of the Catholic faith states that out of every evil, God can create a greater good… This principle comes to mind in the context of recent developments regarding federal Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrance Act prosecutions, initiated by the Department of Justice. On Jan. 30, a Philadelphia jury exonerated pro-life sidewalk advocate Mark Houck of the flimsy FACE-related charges brought against him by the DOJ last year.

By Elle Purnell, The Federalist – The delusional leftists arguing that adoption is more “traumatic” than abortion aren’t making a convincing argument for their brutal baby death cult, but they are making a great point against the rise of surrogacy as a means for clients such as gay and “transgender” males to achieve their personal parenting fantasies.

By Jordan Boyd, The Federalist – ‘We believe that life begins at conception, and so we believe that each of those little frozen lives is a human being that deserves an opportunity to be born.’… “How many embryos could we adopt?”… As the tears rolled down Marlene Strege’s face, the unconventional words tumbled out of her mouth. The year was 1996, and nobody had ever asked her doctor that question before.

By Katherine Hamilton, Breitbart – 40 Days for Life’s CEO, Pres. Shawn Carney (said) the Biden administration is “angry that the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, and they are taking that out on pro-life Americans.”… Carney continued, referring to the Biden administration’s failed attempt to imprison Catholic pro-life activist Mark Houck… “To say we are in an abortion emergency crisis is absurd, and no politician would’ve suggested that a year ago” …

By Michael W. Chapman, CNSNews – In response to news reports that the Biden administration is looking into potentially declaring a “Public Health Emergency” to ensure abortion access nationwide since Roe v. Wade was overturned, pro-life advocates denounced the idea and stressed that Biden wants to “expand abortion on demand until birth nationwide.”… “Their latest scheme would result in taxpayer-funded abortion on demand across the country with no protections whatsoever for unborn children or their mothers – including dangerous mail-order abortion drugs that put women at risk of serious complications,” said Dannenfelser.

By Patty Knap, CNS News – For the profit-motivated abortion industry, bypassing the very people prepared to help women choose life is a big win… THE abortion lobby has been determined to cut out in-person doctor visits for a woman to obtain abortion drugs to get dangerous abortion pills into the hands of pregnant moms faster before anyone can offer her help with her pregnancy.

By Fr. Shenan J. Boquet, Human Life International – Just over a week ago, many of the world’s wealthiest and most powerful people gathered in Davos, Switzerland, for the annual WEF meeting. Among the guests were many heads of state, global financial leaders, and billionaires. Their goal? To solve the world’s problems… my pro-life colleagues in South America tell me how distraught they are that the anti-life globalists have infiltrated their continent, convincing various Catholic nations to open their doors to the legal killing of the preborn and to the destruction of marriage and the family…

By Kylee Griswold, The Federalist – After the first two episodes of HBO’s “The Last of Us” proved faithful to the eponymous video game, the third installment veered sharply from the source material in its portrayal of characters… While opportunities for social and political commentary abound in the show’s post-apocalyptic setting, where government authoritarians use a health emergency to destroy even healthy people, the latest episode focused on a different theme: romanticizing suicide.

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews – A Philadelphia jury has found pro-life father Mark Houck not guilty on both counts in the case of the bogus charges the Biden administration filed against him… Houck is facing bogus charges that he violated the federal FACE law when he was helping women outside an abortion center. An abortion business escort accosted and bullied his son and Houck stepped in to stop it – and, in doing so, the older abortion center volunteer fell down. Houck could have faced over a decade in prison if he was found guilty.

By Ashley Sadler, LifeSiteNews – The blockbuster Mark Houck case has been adjourned until Monday after the jury reached a deadlock today following 2 1/2 hours of deliberation behind closed doors… The news comes after an intense and emotional day of cross-examinations, during which the prosecutor for the U.S. government grilled Houck on his religious beliefs and claimed that the Catholic father of seven deliberately assaulted abortion “escort” Bruce Love because he “was a clinic escort for reproductive health services.”

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews – Defense attorneys for pro-life father Mark Houck have asked a federal court to dismiss the Biden administration’s bogus case against him, which threatens to put him in prison for over a decade for protesting abortion… Houck is facing bogus charges that he violated the federal FACE law when he was helping women outside an abortion center.

By Spencer J. Fairfield, CNSNews – Mississippi AG Lynn Fitch played a key role in the historic decision to overturn Roe v. Wade by filing a brief with the high court during the Dobbs case… “We can protect life. But this is not the end of our journey..”… “It is only the beginning. Until we can give women when they are most vulnerable what they need, so they and their children may thrive, until we can make the changes in our laws that reflect our compassion for all life…

Patriot Post – January 22 marks the anniversary of the two most tragic Supreme Court decisions in American history, Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton… Americans are obviously tiring of a movement based on such an audacious lie. Scientifically and morally it has always been evident that life starts well before those first beautiful cries. Thanks to Dobbs, pro-lifers can enjoy more legislative success, but even more importantly, today’s pro-life movement is succeeding where it counts most: changing hearts.

By The Thomas More Society, The Stream – Lawyers for Mark Houck, a pro-life life father of seven being prosecuted by the Biden administration, dropped bombshell evidence in defense of the pro-life advocate at a January 17, 2023, pretrial hearing in Philadelphia. Thomas More Society attorneys produced new evidence — never before considered by a federal court — that when the United States Congress passed the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, it expressly intended to exclude so-called “escorts” operating outside of abortion facilities from being encompassed by the FACE Act.

By Jessica Kramer, Crisis Magazine – Trump recently posted on social media: It wasn’t my fault that the Republicans didn’t live up to expectations in the MidTerms. I was 233-20! It was the “abortion issue,” poorly handled by many Republicans, especially those that firmly insisted on No Exceptions, even in the case of Rape, Incest, or Life of the Mother, that lost large numbers of Voters. Also, the people that pushed so hard, for decades, against abortion, got their wish from the U.S. Supreme Court, & just plain disappeared, not to be seen again. Plus, Mitch stupid $’s!

By CNSNews Staff – President Joe Biden issued a proclamation on Friday praising the Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision—which declared abortion a right—and declaring that this Sunday, January 22, will be a day to honor “the 50th Anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision.”… Biden condemned the Supreme Court’s 2022 decision in Dobbs vs. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned Roe… “The Court got Roe right 50 years ago”

By Victoria Marshall, The Federalist – Thousands of pro-life activists gathered at our nation’s capitol Friday to celebrate the Supreme Court’s overturning of the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision and advocate for the unborn. It was the 50th anniversary of the grassroots-organized March for Life and the first since the overturning of Roe in June. Despite such a monumental victory and the fulfillment of a key goal, the pro-life movement’s work is not over, as organizers must now fight for pro-life protections at the state level.

By Rich Noyes, Media Research Center – Fifty years ago this weekend, the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision split Americans on the issue of abortion, but the media elite have never been divided on the issue. Decades of surveys have consistently found journalists are staunch supporters of abortion, with one survey finding a near-unanimous 97 percent of top journalists “agreed that ‘it is a woman’s right to decide whether or not to have an abortion,’ and five out of six (84%) agreed strongly.”

By Hadley Arkes, The Catholic Thing – The Born-Alive Survivors of Abortion Protection Act, is not going to be enacted in this Congress. But it will have put a mark on the political terrain. The pro-life cause has been ill-served by having its public argument offered in the familiar script of conservative jurisprudence. And yet, through bumbling persistence, it has brought forth, in the House of Representatives, a group of pro-life politicians who somehow manage to do better than the legal professionals who have been presuming over the years to tutor them.

By Zoe Romanowsky, Aleteia – At 14:30 minute mark: Jonathan Roumie states: “How can you make a difference? No. 1 Pray the Rosary! St. Padre Pio said the greatest weapon we have against the devil is the Rosary.. Try it! See for yourself. I don’t’ need to sell it. God doesn’t need me to sell anything..”

By Michael W. Chapman, CNSNews – A report by the left-wing Society of Family Planning shows that abortions nationwide dropped 6% after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade on June 24, 2022 in the case Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization… The report shows that in April 2022 there were 85,020 surgical abortions nationwide. But in July, after the Dobbs decision, there were 79,750 abortions and in August 79,620 abortions. That’s a 6% decline between April and August 2022.

By Jordan Boyd, The Federalist – If passed by both chambers, the legislation will head to Democrat Gov. Tim Walz’s desk, where he is expected to sign it into law… Minnesota Democrats are poised to ignore the at least 69 percent of Americans who say they want significant limits on abortion to pass the state’s most radical abortion bill, which would legalize taxpayer-funded on-demand abortion for all.

By Robert Royal, The Catholic Thing – That number does not include the number of babies killed by elective abortions, however, which at one time would have been thought a rare, emergency measure. The Guttmacher Institute, an advocate for abortion, estimates that there are roughly 56 million abortions around the world every year. So allowing for the statistical uncertainties, we can say in broad terms that as many innocents are slaughtered every year in the womb as there are deaths from all other causes in the entire world.

By Ben Johnson, LifeNews – A strong majority of Americans support stronger pro-life laws, according to a new poll released just days before the annual March for Life. More than two-thirds of Americans (69%) would support ending all abortion no later than the first trimester, including nearly three out of four women (72%) and nearly half (49%) of all surveyed Democrats.

By Bob Unruh, World Net Daily – Joe Biden’s extreme pro-abortion ideology is probably captured better nowhere else than in the government’s case against Mark Houck, a pro-life father of seven who was arrested in a stunningly violent pre-dawn FBI raid on his home… His alleged offense? Pushing back against an abortion business “escort” who had badgered and harassed his son… But now Houck’s defense counsel, from the famed Thomas More Society, have dropped a bombshell on the prosecution.

By Fr. Shenan J. Boquet, Human Life International – I’ve said in the past that on many matters Canada gives us a glimpse of what lies five-to-ten years down the road if we don’t do everything in our power to stop our country’s slide towards the culture of death… With populations across the developed world aging, it has become clear that the next front in the battle against the culture of death will focus on end-of-life issues. Currently, the push is on in the United States to legalize euthanasia and assisted suicide.

By Virginia Allen, Daily Signal – The Food and Drug Administration has permanently changed its restrictions on abortion drugs. Following an official rule change in early January, women no longer need to see a doctor in person to be prescribed chemical abortion pills. The move, according to OB-GYN Dr. Ingrid Skop, is opening women up to the “Wild West” of abortion.

By Emmy Griffin, Patriot Post – Government, environmentalism, and feminism have been feeding women the lie that overpopulation is a problem. The government has a vested interest in keeping women in the workforce; it enriches the coffers. Environmentalists preach that children increase the carbon footprint and that having more than one is pollution on an epic scale. Feminists declare that women and men are the same, so women are supposed to like pursuing a career, sleeping around without consequences, and getting a big paycheck. …

By Katie Yoder, LifeNews – A majority of women seeking abortion in the United States today choose abortion pills over other methods. The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) recently advised that the U.S. Postal Service can deliver these abortion drugs by mail — after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) also authorized doctors to prescribe the drugs online and mail the pills… Here are five things to know about abortion drugs.

By Katherine Hamilton, Breitbart – Last September, Newsom’s campaign paid to promote abortion tourism via public billboards in seven states. Some of those billboards misused the words of Jesus from the New Testament of the Bible to market the Golden State as an abortion destination: “‘Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these.’ – Mark 12:31.”… “In response to Newsom’s blasphemous billboards, a coalition of pro-life organizations is placing billboards in the same locations as Newsom posted his pro-abortion billboards,” Life Legal Defense Foundation announced.

By Michael New Ph.D., LifeNews – The Biden administration continues to endanger both women and unborn children by loosening the rules regarding the dispensation of chemical-abortion drugs… Then last week, the FDA announced that women could obtain chemical-abortion pills at retail pharmacies. Already, large pharmacies including Walgreen’s and CVS have indicated that they will offer chemical-abortion drugs… A solid body of public-health research has demonstrated that chemical abortions pose serious health risks.

By Russell Shaw, Catholic Exchange – The March For Life will have a new look this year. When thousands of prolife demonstrators march through the streets of Washington on January 20, instead of proceeding to the Supreme Court as in the past, they will end their trek across the street at the U.S. Capitol… The symbolism is correct. And it’s not just the March for Life but the prolife movement as a whole that needs to shift itinerary as 2023 gets underway….

By Joseph Pronechen, EWTN News – This year, the annual March for Life has gained rather than lost momentum as it continues with its 50th-annual March for Life after the historic overturning of Roe v. Wade… While this national march will again be held in Washington on Jan. 20, companion pro-life marches will also continue across the nation. As in past years, different locales have chosen different dates on which to hold their rallies.

By Kristine Christlieb, Church Militant – he Biden regime is making good on its promise to keep abortion easily accessible… Dr. John Bruchalski, OB/GYN and author: “It’s called the starving and the abandonment abortion. They want to call it a medical abortion rather than a chemical abortion but it’s really about starving and abandoning (the fetus).”

By Peter Bleyer, M.D., American Thinker – Patients have the right to expect from their physician a relationship free from the influence of power, money, and anonymous third parties. After many years of training, and drawing upon the experience of thousands of doctor-patient interactions, I have come to fully understand that it is the exclusivity of the doctor-patient relationship that gives meaning to medicine. Without it, we are like Christians without Jesus Christ… It is vital to clarify that America’s current, tremendous distrust of the medical profession, although greatly amplified by the COVID pandemic, did not begin with COVID.

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews – In an annoyingly close vote, the House approved new legislation that would stop infanticide and protect babies who survive abortion. This is a similar measure to one that pro-abortion former Speaker Nancy Pelosi blocked 80 times when she ran the House… The Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act requires that, when a baby is born alive following an abortion, health care practitioners must exercise the same degree of professional skill and care that would be offered to any other child born alive at the same gestational age.

By Jordan Boyd, The Federalist – While House Democrats’ first act of the 118th Congress was to demand a vote on their unsuccessful abortion up-until-birth in all 50 states legislation, House Republicans, keen to defend the nation’s most vulnerable, committed to using their newfound majority to pass two pro-life measures… Dems and their allies in the corrupt corporate media, still reeling from the end of Roe v. Wade, shunned the legislation and smeared Republicans for daring to use their congressional power to curb Democrats’ abortion for all agenda.

By Erika Ahern, CatholicVote – On January 9, 2023, Rep. Ann Wagner, R-MO, reintroduced the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. The bill ensures that infants who emerge from the birth canal alive after an attempted abortion receive the same protections and care as any other newborn… “It pains me that this fight has to be fought at all, but medical care for babies should not be a partisan issue,” said Wagner. “Now, with Republicans in the Majority, the House will finally take action and vote to protect the fundamental right to life.”

By John Horvat II, LifeSiteNews – What they hate most is the word ‘march,’ and they hate it for three reasons…. Despite the overturning of Roe v. Wade, the annual March for Life will take place on January 20 in Washington, D.C., on the 50th anniversary of the infamous 1973 Supreme Court decision. Many inveterate pro-lifers have trudged up to the Supreme Court for decades and feel that now is not the time to rest upon laurels but press on defending life and keep marching.

By Mike Huckabee, The Stream – In a 3-2 decision, the S. Carolina Supreme Court struck down the new state law banning abortion after a fetal heartbeat is detected, ruling it an unconstitutional violation of a woman’s right to privacy. S. Carolina law currently bans abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy… Att. Gen. Alan Wilson said, “We respectfully, but strongly, disagree with the court’s ruling,” and that he was working with Gov. Henry McMaster’s office to review legal options moving forward. …

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews – Now that Republicans have taken over Congress from Nancy Pelosi and pro-abortion Democrats, one of the first orders of business will be promoting a pro-life agenda. And one of the first bills Republicans will promote is a measure to permanently ban taxpayer-funded abortions… Speaker of the House, pro-life Congressman Kevin McCarthy agreed to a rules package that includes provisions ensuring that pro-life legislation will be brought up and approved quickly.

By Fr. Shenan J. Boquet, Human Life International – By far the biggest (and best!) news of the year, was the demise of Roe v. Wade. … For nearly fifty years, pro-life activists did everything in their power to eradicate this horrific court case. Every year we marched in Washington, DC, as well as in numerous cities across our nation. Every year we worked to elect pro-life politicians. Over and over again, we thought we had elected the president who would finally give us the pro-life Supreme Court we needed. … And then, suddenly, Roe is gone.

By Natalie M. Hejran, J.D., LifeNews – Each year, Americans United for Life takes a look back on the progress made for Life in the state legislative sessions and ranks the states based on their laws designed to promote Life, including protections for the unborn, the elderly, and the terminally ill. This year, we are proud to announce that Arkansas is once again the most Pro-Life state in America! Arkansas is joined by Louisiana, Oklahoma, Indiana, and Mississippi in the top 5.

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews – Walgreens and CVS will sell the abortion drug that has killed millions of babies… Their decision comes after the Biden admin decided yesterday to allow pharmacies to sell the dangerous abortion drug that has killed millions of babies and injured thousands of women… Previously, mifepristone could only be dispensed by clinics, medical offices, and hospitals or under the supervision of a licensed physician….

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews – A heartbreaking reminder about the prevalence of abortion, statistics compiled by Worldometers indicate that there were over 44 million abortions world-wide in 2022. The independent site collects data from governments and other organizations and then reports the data, along with estimates and projections, based on those numbers… Abortion is also the leading cause of death in the United States.

By Bob Unruh, World Net Daily – One of Joe Biden’s highest priorities during his term in the Oval Office has been to promote abortion… He’s even, in the face of the Supreme Court overturning Roe, insisted that he can change the “rules” for hospitals nationwide and demand they violate state laws to do abortion… Now he’s taking it a step further… He wants to demand that medical workers have no conscience rights when abortion is involved.

By Mary Margaret Olohan, LifeNews – In November, Catholic Cardinal Wilton Gregory of the Archdiocese of Washington canceled the 2023 Youth Rally and Mass for Life, a massive event held for the past 25 years that typically draws about 20,000 young people from across the U.S… The archdiocese’s statement on the matter, which noted that it will also not host the larger multi-diocese rally, offered little explanation other than that “many dioceses” are focused on state-level efforts to combat abortion… the decision is likely to impact the numbers since many Catholic dioceses are responsible for sending busloads of cheerful pro-life families to join the march.

It will then go to the President for his signature… the bill ultimately has nothing to do with “respecting” marriage.

But the effect of Dobbs won’t stop there. As is often the case, the answer goes beyond the headlines.

By Monica Miller, Crisis Magazine – Finally, in the end, Proposal 3 succeeded because our culture has become used to the violence of abortion. Fifty years of killing under Roe v. Wade is part of what we expect—a killing to which we believe we are entitled. It is not enough that Roe v. Wade is reversed. What also needs to be reversed is the philosophy of Roe, the philosophy that claims human beings are radical individuals. Roe created the most radical individual, the autonomous woman encased in her sphere of “privacy”—that sphere of isolation in which a woman casts others out from human communion.

Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes which are composed of genes, which are composed of DNA.

By Sophia Corso, The Federalist – While abortion proponents do their best to suppress any narrative that questions the morality, ethics, and safety of snuffing out human life in the womb, an account from North Carolina clinical therapist Adam Fadel further solidifies the reality of what many women actually experience after choosing abortion: grief and trauma… In both anecdotes and data analysis, it’s clear abortion doesn’t liberate women — it traumatizes them.

I think we’re going to get very close in the House. I think we’re going to be very close, but I don’t think we’re going to make it.”

Richards, Ph.D., The Federalist – Market research predicts that revenue for wrongly termed ‘gender-affirming care’ will grow to $5 billion by the end of this decade… The risk in any grim line of work is that you get used to it — that true horrors cease to appear horrible.

By Michael Warsaw, EWTN News – For nearly two years, the Biden administration has put on full display its lamentable disregard for the sanctity of human life, human sexuality and religious freedom.

Boquet, Human Life International – In the leadup to the midterms, Democrat strategists have been working to turn people’s attention away from the dismal state of the economy, and keep it focused firmly on the issue of abortion.

By Nancy Flanders, Live Action News, WND News Services – A biotech firm has created mouse embryos using only stem cells and has kept them alive long enough (with the use of an artificial womb) for them to develop beating hearts, blood flow, and cerebral folds of the brain.

By Emily Mangiaracina, LifeSiteNews – Feminist writer Naomi Wolf decried the COVID-19 mRNA jab as a “bioweapon” targeting the West for depopulation… “One thing that the Pfizer documents reveal is that the overwhelming majority of adverse events in the Pfizer documents are in the United States.

By Thomas Gallatin, Patriot Post – On a side note, it has always been amazing to see how, on the one hand, Democrats love to claim that the motivation for many of their welfare-related policies is “for the children.” Yet when it comes to the issue of abortion, the literal killing of preborn children, they suddenly lose all interest in promoting laws and policies that would protect and benefit children.

I sat down with Dr. Christina Francis, CEO-elect of the American Association of Pro-life Obstetricians and Gynecologists (AAPLOG), to get some answers: 1 in 4 women has miscarried, and 1 in 50 pregnancies in the U.S. is ectopic.

By Mary E. Harned and Dr. Ingrid Skop, The Federalist – In the wake of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, abortion activists, with the assistance of the Biden administration, are unconscionably sowing confusion among the medical profession and the public.

By Suzanne Bowdey, LifeNews – Joe Biden may believe in a woman’s right to choose, but what about a doctor’s? Or a nurse’s? Or a pharmacist’s?

It doesn’t apply, for instance, to people who don’t share their radical worldview. In that case, there’s only one choice — surrender. But fortunately for America, there are still Christians like George Badeaux who refuse to.

Boquet, Human Life International – In a powerful statement responding to the vote, the Kansas Catholic Conference of Bishops expressed their own disappointment, saying that they are “sorry to see that the most vulnerable human being in our society—the unborn child—will not be protected but further treated with indifference and injustice.”… As the Kansas Catholic Conference of Bishops wrote in the statement quoted above, “We trust that God will bring good out of evil. In the end, the truth wins! No matter how deep the darkness is, no matter how long it reigns, no matter how much it grows, it cannot destroy the light.”

By Randall Smith, The Catholic Thing – A common defense of abortion is that the developing fetus within a mother’s womb, although clearly a “human being” – not a fish or a reptile, as the DNA and chromosomes clearly indicate – is not yet a “person.”  Used this way, the term person identifies a certain class of human being we have judged as deserving of our moral concern and protection, distinguishing these from others we have decided do not.

By Phil Lawler, Catholic Culture – This Wall Street Journal editorial on the lessons to be drawn from the Kansas abortion referendum is balanced, reasonable, and mostly right.

Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey.

By Msgr. Robert J. Batule, The Catholic Thing – Science and technology enhance our lives in innumerable ways. There’s no disputing that. But we have moved beyond fixing things and operating at maximum efficiency. If truth be told, we have arrived at something like Huxley’s Brave New World (1932) with the counter-developments in biotech… Science and technology are powers, and thus they have to be harnessed or regulated if there is to be a morally licit way of making the best use of them.

By Curtis Houck, LifeNews – Since the overturning of Roe v.

By Sen. Roger Marshall, M.D., LifeNews – “Don’t let the sun set on an ectopic pregnancy” was an axiom we were taught the first week of OB-GYN residency – it’s as true today as it was before and after Roe, and after Dobbs.

By David G Bonagura, Jr., The Catholic Thing – The overturning of Roe v. Wade has revived abortion criminalization laws, dormant for fifty years, in several states.

By Emmy Griffin, Patriot Post – In the story of abortion in our country, there are many characters besides the two main ones: mother and unborn child. Families, friends, and fathers all play a role in this decision. Then there are the architects of the act itself: doctors, medical personnel, and directors of abortion facilities. These architects are in many ways the greatest villains. A few of them, however, have used their experience as part of their powerful story of why they have pivoted 180 degrees and are now the loudest, most ardent pro-life advocates. Here are a few of their stories.

What do you want to negotiate?”… “We’re not going to negotiate a woman’s right to choose,” said Pelosi.  “Senator Murkowski [R-Alaska] and Senator Collins [R-Me.] may have their view, but it is not a view that is one about a woman’s having the right to decide.

Ebenezer Scrooge is such a memorable miscreant, and he is so enjoyably villainous before his dramatic Christmas conversion… When told that the poor would rather die than go to debtors’ prison, he responds callously, “If they would rather die, they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population.” The phrase “decrease the surplus population” is still widely recognized and universally ridiculed as an inhumane response to poverty.

By Francis X. Maier, The Catholic Thing – Humpty Dumpty owns the trademark to the word “devout.” Anyone familiar with fairytales will remember Humpty Dumpty. Who could forget.. his searing political acumen? “When I say a word, it means exactly what I say it means, neither more nor less.” Devout™ Catholics, it turns out, can say and do pretty much whatever they want while remaining safely Devout™, as long as they’re true to their feelings and really, really sincere about it.

By Brad Miner, The Catholic Thing – One of America’s leading canon lawyers, Edward N. Peters, has written: “If her prolonged public conduct does not qualify as obstinate perseverance in manifest grave sin, then, in all sincerity, I must admit to not knowing what would constitute obstinate perseverance in manifest grave sin.” His point of reference is to a passage in Canon 915: “Those upon whom the penalty of excommunication or interdict has been imposed or declared, and others who obstinately persist in manifest grave sin , are not to be admitted to Holy Communion.”

By Michael Brown, The Stream – Despite being reinforced and even expanded by the Casey decision of 1992, Roe was a bad ruling by the Supreme Court that simply had to go. It had no legal ground on which to stand and no Constitutional logic behind it. That’s why few, if any, pundits are challenging Justice Alito’s legal reasoning in dismantling Roe.

By Micaiah Bilger, LifeNews – The website describes killing unborn babies in abortions as a “right” even though the U.S. Supreme Court said there is no constitutional right to abortion in its historic ruling Dobbs v.

Wade, access to abortion will depend on the state you live in even more than before,” the HHS website states.

Wade, calling it a “step backward” that could spread to countries in Europe… In the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court issuing its ruling Friday to overturn the nearly 50-year-old Roe v. Wade, abortion activists in the U.S. and further abroad have been swift to denounce and reject the ruling.

By Anne Hendershott & Daniel R. Kempton, Crisis Magazine – We believe Roe was in error not just because it imagined an unwritten constitutional right but, more importantly, because it took away a written constitutional right—the right to life for an entire segment of the population. Such actions have previously been found unconstitutional for other groups within the American population.

By Joe Kral. LifeNews – It is becoming clearer that with the likely overturn of Roe coming very soon, some pro-abortion District Attorney’s that have been elected in states where Abortion Trigger Bans have passed have openly declared war on their states’ pro-life law… Abortion Trigger Bans, of course, are those laws that have been passed in states that will be triggered into effect where abortion will be banned when Roe is overturned.

By Emmy Griffin, Patriot Post – It has been negligent for the Supreme Court to continue withholding its decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.

By Fr. Shenan J. Boquet, Human Life International – The U.S. DOD is warning of an increase in “extremist” violence in the next few months, partly in response to an impending decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn Roe v.

By Dr. Grazie Christie, LifeNews – …pregnancy care centers exist to provide real alternatives for women who too often think their only choice is abortion.

By James Robison, The Stream – When all life is not valued (60 million of the most innocent among us have been sacrificed in the last five decades!), it should not come as a shock that many people seem to devalue any and all lives for whatever reason. The only way we’ll ever stop abortion is to show everyone how precious every life is and the great potential each life has.

By WND Staff – Anticipating that the Supreme Court might imminently repeal Roe v.

By Fr. Shenan J. Boquet, Human Life International – What, indeed, is it that we value as a society? Do we appreciate the great gift that is a human life? Do we treasure the immeasurable greatness of a unique human soul?… Or do we see in the face of a newborn child only a sign of challenges and difficulties ahead; of a threat to our freedom and autonomy; of a drain on our checkbook and our savings; of vacations lost and unwanted responsibilities shouldered; of resources consumed; of fear, uncertainty, and frustration?

By Russell Shaw, Catholic Exchange – Probably few people today remember Lader, but feminist writer Betty Friedan admiringly declared him “the father of the abortion movement.” Among other things, he wrote the most influential abortion advocacy book before Roe, and his handiwork was cited nine times by the majority opinion in that case.

By Paul Krause, The Wanderer – One of the blessings of being involved in Catholic educational work is getting to know young Catholic students. While trendy Catholic “rebels” tend to take the media clout, young Catholics who are devout in their faith, I have found, are enthusiastically pro-life. This should fill us with great hope… Abortion used to be “the Catholic issue.” While evangelicals and various Baptist groups initially supported Roe v. Wade, Catholics have always held the line concerning the dignity of life and the grave sin of abortion …

By Samantha Stephenson, Crisis Magazine – In the United States today, women are woefully uninformed about the realities of abortion. By their own accounts, 84 percent of women who have had abortions felt they did not receive adequate counseling prior to the procedure; and 64 percent felt pressured to have an abortion.

Harris, “Just half an hour ago, in Oklahoma, the state legislature passed one of the most extreme abortion bans in the country – a ban that would outlaw abortion from the moment of fertilization,” Harris said… “Now, think about that for a second: from the moment of fertilization,” she said. “It’s outrageous, and it’s just the latest in a series of extreme laws around the country.”

By Regis Martin, Crisis Magazine – How imbecilic must one be, I wonder, not to know when life begins? Even if one had slept through every high school biology class, somewhere along the line, surely, the facts of life would have intruded themselves. After all, human reproduction is not like astrophysics, the details of which only members of Mensa may know.

By Robert Busek, The Federalist – For years, it has been clear that Democrats must toe the line on supporting child murder or be purged from the ranks. No other issue comes close to this shibboleth of the left; to the party of today, a Democrat must favor unrestricted abortion or he is no Democrat… For almost 50 years, the bishops have actively avoided holding these lawmakers accountable for promoting the Culture of Death in return for the party’s lip service to Catholic social teaching.

By Sister Renée Mirkes, OSF, The Catholic Thing – public discussion of when human life begins ought to include the most current embryology as interpreted by sound philosophical anthropology.

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews – During a public event Friday night, Justice Clarence Thomas condemned the pro-abortion protests taking place in recent days at the homes of members of the Supreme Court after news broke last week about a leaked U.S. Supreme Court draft ruling that overturns Roe v.

By Randall Smith, The Catholic Thing – There’s been a lot of discussion recently about the upcoming Dobbs decision, in which the Supreme Court might finally overturn the Court’s deadly earlier decisions in Roe v. Wade and its companion case Doe v. Bolton.  Many of the articles bemoaning the coming decision have been filled with incivility, mindless vitriol, fear-mongering, absurd non sequiturs, and outright lies.

By Fr. Shenan J. Boquet, Human Life International – If we are given this chance to rewrite the wrong that has brought about the death of over 63 million unborn children… then we must take this moment by the horns and settle for nothing less than a complete rejection of the culture of death that spawned ubiquitous and legal abortion… With Roe gone, the battle is just beginning. …

By Thomas Shaffern, Crisis Magazine – At the birth of an ancient Spartan, the parents brought the child before a group of elders who inspected the child for deformities. Plump and healthy children were allowed to live, and sickly or deformed children were brought to caves, left to die. This practice came about because Spartans considered children property of the state and not the parents, sound familiar?

By Anthony Esolen, Crisis Magazine – What strikes me is that, in all my life, I have never heard a single supporter of the abortion license describe that child as beautiful. If you must level an old neighborhood to build an airport, you may mourn for the houses to be razed, the streams to be choked up, the contours of the land to be effaced, the human memories to be obliterated. We would consider it rather monstrous in you if you did not do so. 

By Billy Hallowell, The Stream – Abby Johnson, former Planned Parenthood clinic director-turned-pro-life activist.. “While we are, of course, celebrating the fact that it does look like the court is going to overturn Roe … make no mistake that this means that things are going to get exponentially worse in our country,” Johnson said… “I say that just to present some reality [for] the pro-life movement.”

By Jack Devine, Patriot Post – Suddenly, the future of Roe v. Wade is the number one issue on American minds — and a public brouhaha of the highest order… It remains to be seen who engineered the public release of a highly confidential court document. But it’s out there, like it or not, and the Democrat political/media spin machine is working overtime with tales of the apocalyptic consequences of the now-anticipated court action. Call it disinformation.

By Ben Zeisloft, DailyWire – Members of the Louisiana House of Representatives failed to pass a bill that would have abolished abortion by applying homicide laws to women who procure the procedure… The Abolition of Abortion in Louisiana Act (HB813)… recognizes “the right to life and equal protection of the laws to all unborn children from the moment of fertilization by protecting them by the same laws protecting other human beings.”

By Michael W. Chapman, CNS News – Although former President Donald Trump endorsed Dr. Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania’s Senate GOP primary, claiming he is pro-life and pro-veteran — a decision ridiculed by many conservatives — the grassroots non-profit CatholicVote endorsed veteran and mother Kathy Barnette for the Republican nomination, stating voters can trust her on “the right to life and other critical issues.”… “Catholics don’t have to worry whether Kathy Barnette is sincere,”

By Janet E. Smith, Crisis Magazine – Ever since a draft copy of the Supreme Court decision regarding abortion has been leaked, social media has been awash with arguments and testimonies from both sides… Whatever the political ramifications of the leaking of the possible Supreme Court decision about abortion, it presents an opportunity to try to educate the public about precisely what an abortion is …

Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which involves a challenge to a 15-week abortion ban in Mississippi. Roe required that states permit abortion up until the point of viability – around 24 weeks’ gestation. The Mississippi law was crafted by pro-life legal analysts precisely in order to push back against Roe’s framework, giving the Court a rare opportunity to revisit Roe.

Kathy Barnette for Senate, YouTube – In addition to being raised as what many would consider “disadvantaged,” I’ll add one more stumbling block to success: I’m the by-product of a rape… My story only takes place in America. I am not standing outside waiting for someone to admit me into the American Dream. I AM THE AMERICAN DREAM.

By Shannon Mullen, CNA – ‘We are not fighting flesh and blood. We’re fighting dark demonic forces.’… More criminal acts targeting Catholic churches and pro-life advocates were reported Monday, after a Mother’s Day weekend marked by unrest in multiple locations in the U.S. tied to anger over a possible Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade.

By Donald DeMarco, The Wanderer – If Roe v. Wade is overturned, the American people will benefit, though these benefits will be denied by many who persist in opposing the very essence of their country as established by its Founding Fathers and concretized in its Constitution. Nevertheless, the recognition that the Constitution does not justify abortion is absolutely required if America is to fulfill its destiny as “one nation under God.”

By Aidan O’Connor, Church Militant – Soon after a draft document criticizing Roe v.

By Gary Bauer, CNS News – According to a leaked draft opinion by pro-life stalwart Justice Samuel Alito, that Trump majority appears ready to overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that legalized abortion-on-demand in America. Conservatives and leftists are alternately excited and enraged by that prospect… But when Roe goes to the ash heap of history, as is expected any day now, it is critical that we separate fact from fiction.

By Micaiah Bilger, LifeNews – Abortion activists plan to “raise hell” at churches across the country on Mother’s Day with protests and, some fear, violence… Fox News reports at least two pro-abortion groups are calling for churches, especially Catholic Churches, to be the target of abortion activists’ outrage… violence by abortion activists likely will continue as the U.S. Supreme Court gets ready to issue its final ruling on Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health this summer.

By Bob Unruh, World Net Daily – Constitutional expert Jonathan Turley, the Shapiro Professor of Public Interest Law at George Washington University, says the leak of a draft abortion opinion from the Supreme Court is a result of leftists who want to have their way “by any means necessary.”… The leak of the still-unfinalized opinion revealed that at the time five justices were in agreement that Roe v. Wade must be struck down, and the regulation of abortion returned to the state legislatures.
