New Grassroots Effort Urges Trump to Stop Mail-Order Abortions

The Arkansas-based pro-life group Family Council launched a grassroots effort Thursday urging President Trump and members of Congress to end former President Joe Biden’s mail-order abortion policies.

That’s a refrain pro-life groups have been saying for some time but the efforts to get Trump to do something about the radical pro-abortion policy that has killed millions of babies is reaching a fever pitch.

Family Council wants Trump to restore the in-person doctor’s visit requirement for chemical abortion drugs. That would stop mail-order abortions that are killing babies, harming women, and violating state pro-life laws that ban abortions. ---More...

Pro-Life Group Tells Congress: Pass Reconciliation to Defund Planned Parenthood

With just over three weeks remaining until the provision of the historic 2025 Working Families Tax Cuts that defunds Big Abortion expires on July 4, Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America sent a letter to U.S. Senate Republicans this week urging them to stay committed to passing a reconciliation bill that keeps taxpayer dollars out of the hands of Big Abortion businesses like Planned Parenthood.

The letter, which follows a similar letter sent to the House last week, reads in part:

According to their own most recent annual report, Planned Parenthood boasted a record 434,450 abortions in one year.

Entities like these should not be rewarded with taxpayer funding. ---More...

Even Abortion Supporters Opposed Jesse and Ashley Ridgway Ending Their Baby’s Life. Here’s Why

A recent controversy involving YouTuber Jesse Ridgway and his wife Ashley has exposed a contradiction that has existed within the abortion debate for decades. After learning through prenatal testing that their unborn child had Down syndrome, the couple chose to terminate the pregnancy and publicly shared their decision. The response was immediate.

Pro-life advocates condemned the abortion, which was hardly surprising. More surprising was how many people who identify as pro-choice also expressed discomfort. Some called the decision eugenics. Others argued it discriminated against people with disabilities. Many simply said it felt wrong. ---More...

New Lawsuits Filed to Overturn Assisted Suicide Laws in New York and Illinois

Josh Hawley Wants Todd Blanche to Settle Lawsuit, Stop Mail-Order Abortions

Senator Josh Hawley is pressing acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to settle ongoing lawsuits challenging the Food and Drug Administration’s rules on the abortion pill mifepristone.

It’s a move aimed at halting the widespread distribution of mail-order abortions.

Hawley, a leading pro-life voice in Congress, believes Blanche will agree to settle the cases rather than continue defending policies that have killed millions of babies in abortions, hurt thousands upon thousands of women and enabled violent predators to force abortions on women. ---More...
