Study Shows 82% of Abortions are Bad for Women

The authors argue that legislation allowing women to sue providers for negligent pre-abortion screening will protect women from predatory, unsafe abortions


The vast majority of women undergoing abortions in the United States possess pre-existing risk factors that clinically contraindicate the procedure, according to a new groundbreaking peer-reviewed study.

Using a topic-blind survey distributed to a national random sample of women, the researchers examined women’s reproductive histories, abortion decision types, pre-abortion risk factors, and negative outcomes women attributed to their abortions. Among respondents, 22.6% reported a history of abortion, a rate that closely matches the Guttmacher Institute’s national estimate.

The researchers tested an 8-item risk scale based on known risk factors, including emotional attachment to the pregnancy, conflict with maternal desires or moral beliefs, pressure to abort, lack of support, financial insecurity, and whether the abortion was contrary to the woman’s own preferences.

The study found that women with more pre-abortion risk factors reported greater levels of negative outcomes they attributed to their abortions. Average risk scores on the 8-point scale rose sharply by decision type: ---More...


Olivia Rodrigo Raises $20 Million to Kill More Babies in Abortions

Global pop superstar Olivia Rodrigo joined with fellow female pop stars to raise $10 million for the abortion industry and related causes at the Daisy Chain Fields festival created by Rodrigo over the weekend. Billionaire Bill Gates’s ex-wife Melinda matched the funds, leaving a grand total of $20 million in the pocket of the Daisy Chain Fields Fund.

The festival lists its beneficiaries as including Planned Parenthood, the Center for Reproductive Rights, and the National Women’s Law Center, an organization that “defends” the “freedoms” of the LGBT community through “culture change.” The sold-out spectacle happened August 29 and was held at Great Park in Irvine, California.

“The organizations we’ve partnered with are doing incredibly important work every single day in the U.S. and globally,” Rodrigo said during a press conference before the event. Rodrigo said she created the festival to bear resemblance to the feminist music festival Lilith Fair created by singer Sarah McLachlan in the 1990s. ---More...



Missouri AG Promotes Amendment 3 to Save Babies From Abortion

Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway is speaking up in support of Amendment 3 to save babies from abortions.

Her office is promoting a statewide television and radio message warning women that abortion centers no longer have to meet basic safety standards, as voters prepare to decide whether to restore protections for unborn babies.

The “women’s health PSA” was developed with help from an pro-life medical group and will air through September 30 on more than 350 stations. It was paid for from the attorney general’s Merchandising Practices Revolving Fund, which state law allows to be used for consumer education. ---More...




Canada is Counting Late-Term Abortions as Stillborn Deaths

Articles in the Canadian Medical Association Journal and the Canadian Journal of Public Health in recent years have shed light on the reality of late-term abortion from an unexpected angle: many late-term abortions are classified as stillbirths.

Canadian provinces define a stillbirth as the birth of a fetus at or after 20 weeks’ gestation or with a birth weight of over 500 g that shows no sign of life. Both cutoffs roughly reflect when a pre-born child is likely to be able to survive outside of the womb. ---More...


Why is Women Abandoning Newborns Wrong, But Abortions Up to Birth Okay?

A New York mother has been arrested after giving birth to a baby boy and leaving him in the bathroom of a supermarket over the weekend. A law was just passed in Massachusetts last month that allows babies to be aborted and discarded up until the moment they are born. Presumably, the only difference between this baby born in New York and a baby killed at nine months gestation in Massachusetts is that one is inside the womb and the other has just entered the world outside of it.

The 32-year-old ShopRite worker in White Plains, New York, is now in custody and receiving care for the manner in which she birthed her child. The child was not discovered until the next morning when another employee saw him and dialed 911. The baby is still alive and is in stable condition after being taken in for care at White Plains Hospital, ABC 7 reported.

“The child is being taken care of by Child Protective Services, and we are talking to the DA about charges,” disclosed White Plains Police Sergeant Claudio Benavides. ---More...
