Planned Parenthood recently announced the closure of two more abortion facilities, this time in Indianapolis.

A recent paper published in the University of Chicago Press journal  Ethics  argues that abortion should be considered “adequate care” for pregnant minors. The authors contend that doctors have a moral duty to ensure underage girls undergo abortions, even if the girl or her family objects.   The paper suggests that, in some cases, abortion could be carried out using sedation or...

The latest report highlighted by Guttmacher Institute reveals a troubling reality: abortion numbers in the United States have risen, driven in large part by the spread of mail-order abortion pills and telehealth access.   Even as some states have enacted protections for unborn life, the mail out distribution is bypassing those safeguards and expanding access nationwid...

In Massachusetts, a disturbing trend is emerging that should alarm anyone who values human life. New data show that abortions in the state more than doubled in just one year, jumping from about 24,000 in 2023 to nearly 50,000 in 2024.   What’s driving this surge?

Those with Down syndrome have tragically been targeted by abortions for years, but this story goes even further.

She chose life.  Suggesting that a precious child deserves to be abandoned, left to di...

In a culture that often celebrates abortion as empowering, actress Christina Applegate is telling a very different story.

A new study is confirming what many already suspected after the fall of Roe v. Wade: when abortion is restricted, more babies are born.   In fact, pro-life states have seen measurable increases in births, with some research showing as high as a 2–3% rise and tens of thousands of additional lives welcomed into the world.  These numbers are not just figures on a&#1...

A former Planned Parenthood clinic manager is speaking out about why she left the abortion industry. And her story is sobering. Annette Lancaster says she originally believed she was helping women when she took the job. But three experiences changed everything.

Not long ago I told you about South Dakota’s efforts to sue Mayday Health for their promotion of illegal abortion drugs in the state. The company ran misleading ads and failed to explain the legal restrictions and potential risks associated with abortion drugs. They also encouraged young women to take the drugs, despite the fact that they are illegal in South Dakota. After receiving more than 650...

A new report is once again sounding the alarm about the abortion pill and the removal of basic medical safeguards. Researchers analyzing years of data found that serious adverse events increased after the FDA removed the requirement for women to see a doctor in person before receiving abortion pills. When that in-person requirement was in place, serious complications occurred in about 10.15% of ca...

The state of Wyoming has been caught in an ongoing battle to defend the lives of the unborn. In January the state’s Supreme Court struck down two pro-life laws, one which banned abortion pills, and one which attempted to ban nearly all abortions.  Following the Court’s decision, Wyoming lawmakers have fought to find a way to protect innocent life. ...

You may remember the story of Adriana Smith, the mother who developed brain clots and was declared brain dead while nine weeks pregnant with her son Chance.

In an interesting new twist, one of the largest Planned Parenthood affiliates in the country has begun offering Botox injections and other cosmetic treatments to help offset financial shortfalls. Of course, at the same time, it continues performing abortions that end kill innocent babies.   Personally, I would love to see Planned Parenthood adjust their business model and stick...

In 2024, the abortion industry scored a heartbreaking victory. The state of Missouri, once a bastion of pro-life advocacy and the first state to enact their trigger law following the reversal of Roe, passed a constitutional amendment enshrining a so-called right to abortion in the state constitution.   Since then, pro-lifers in Missouri have worked tirelessly to reverse th...

There’s a dangerous lie circulating that if abortion is illegal, women will be imprisoned for having a natural miscarriage. That claim simply isn’t true. No woman in the history of the United States has ever been charged and convicted for simply experiencing a miscarriage. The media often cites cases involving other crimes, like improper disposal of a body, drug-related offenses, or abuse of a cor...
