“I've noticed that everyone who is for abortion has already been born.”
~ Ronald Reagan, President, United States of America, 1981-1989

Aborted babies discovered in DC may indicate infanticide after attempted abortions
By Sam Dorman | April 1, 2022 | LiveAction.org 
WARNING: This article contains disturbing images. Physician experts have told Live Action News that five aborted children recovered from a D.C. apartment appear to have been viable human beings, raising questions about potential legal and serious ethical violations by the abortion clinic.  Dr. Robin Pierucci, a neonatal specialist, told Live Action News: “I can say with confidence that [four of] these babies died at an age when they were viable, premature people.” In her Friday morning comments, she noted that she was going to work in a NICU where she would “care for little ones this size and age.” To read the rest of the story, click HERE

Life at the end of Roe - Recovering the Sanity and Wonder of Wanted Pregnancy
JANUARY 22, 2022 | Article by Marshall Segal, Staff writer, desiringGod.org

Today marks forty-nine years since the society-altering, life-plundering, God-mocking decision by the Supreme Court in Roe versus Wade. Since 1973, abortion has essentially been available on demand in America, leaving the lives of the unborn at the precarious whims of people who value their own lives above the lives of their children.


From the beginning, the delivery room has been a sacred and cursed place. Sin invaded the world, and the womb, before the first child was born. When God warned Eve, “I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children,” Eve had not born a child without pain. Childbirth was never painless. And it was never less than miraculous.

The race is on to get experimental COVID shots into little kids — why?
​
Children Health Defense  | LifeSite News | Oct. 21, 2021
The race is on to get experimental COVID shots into little kids — why? According to the Oct. 8 data release from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), more than 21,000 adverse events, including 24 deaths (two of which were suicides), have been reported in the U.S. in 12- to 17-year-olds following experimental COVID shots. VAERS also received 111 reports of COVID-vaccine-related deaths in young adults in their late teens and twenties.

‘I will never comply with evil’: Pro-lifer Abby Johnson on abortion-tainted vaccines 
​
Johnson demonstrated that the abortion industry is about ‘access to abortion at any and all cost,’ including the life of the mother.
LifeSite News | Emily Mangiaracina | Oct 5, 2021
​
One of the world’s most powerful pro-life voices on Saturday decried vaccines tied to abortion, now culminating in the Catholic clergy’s encouraging what Abby Johnson characterized as cooperation with evil. At the Catholic Identity Conference in Pittsburgh, former Planned Parenthood facility director turned pro-life warrior Abby Johnson explained that it’s not only the abortion industry that has sunk to new lows in its callous disregard for the lives of mothers: The Catholic hierarchy has promoted evil by encouraging the use of vaccines developed with cell lines of aborted children, even becoming complicit in forced abortion-tainted vaccination. 

Johnson, who left Planned Parenthood 12 years ago after being shaken while assisting an ultrasound-guided abortion, highlighted the fact that the abortion industry has become more “brazen” than ever before in promoting the killing of the unborn.

Overcome Horror with Prayer: State of the Union for Abortion
Article by John Ensor, Guest Contributor | Desiring God | August 27, 20201

Several months into a new executive administration, how might we describe the state of affairs when it comes to abortion in America?
Grievous would not be too strong a word. Distressing and outrageous also describe my response to the renewed efforts to enshrine abortion as health care, turn it into a super-spreader event worldwide, and purge dissenters working within the U.S. government who think it’s wrong to intentionally kill an innocent human being. But though God can, without sin, “let loose . . . his burning anger, wrath, indignation, and distress” (Psalm 78:49), I cannot. So, what follows is a brief state of the union for abortion that should fuel our first and best response: prayer.

Ben Watson on Why We Need a Culture of Life to Address America’s Falling Birth Rate
By Randy Alcorn | May 26, 2021
​Retired NFL player Benjamin Watson is husband to Kirsten and father of seven precious children. He recently wrote an excellent opinion piece in Newsweek titled “To Address America's Declining Birth Rate, We Need a Culture of Life.” Ben says this: Americans aren’t having kids like they used to. The most recent census shows that the U.S. birth rate has hit its lowest level since 1979. In fact, the birth rate has fallen almost every year since 1991. Today, at just 1.64 births per woman, American families aren’t even having enough babies to meet the replacement rate of 2.1 births.

Babies were aborted alive, placed in fridge to harvest cell lines used in some vaccines
Researcher: These babies were literally placed into the fridge alive and then stored between one and 24 hours until they could be dismembered.
By Pete Baklinski | February 19, 2021 
Cell lines derived from aborted babies used in the production or testing of various vaccines, including a number of COVID vaccines, most likely came from babies who were aborted alive, and according to the general practice as outlined in medical literature, may have been placed in a fridge while still living where they awaited dismemberment before having their organs harvested, a researcher has found.  Biologist Pamela Acker, who has a master’s degree in Biology from the Catholic University of America and who recently authored a book titled Vaccination: A Catholic Perspective, related what the literature says about how babies were aborted to obtain cell lines used in a number of vaccines.

Planned Parenthood’s New Way to Make Money, Selling Hormone Replacement Therapy
Article by NICOLE RUSSELL | February 19, 2021 | LifeNews.com
Journalist Abigail Shrier recently shed light on Planned Parenthood’s increasing involvement in what some call “transgender activism” or the transgender revolution.  In a post on her Substack account, Shrier describes reading a Twitter thread from a former Planned Parenthood employee—a person she later interviewed. In both the thread and interview, the former employee highlighted the abortion giant’s increasing involvement in prescribing hormone treatments to patients. Shrier, a freelance writer and author of “Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters,” describes the former employee’s tweets about Planned Parenthood’s new mission: 
‘[T]hey still provide vital services for women,’ she wrote on Twitter, and anti-abortion activists ‘will jump at any opportunity to smear them.’ But she went on to write: ‘Having said that, their recent roles in trans activism are abhorrent, and they’re digging their own grave.’
The Planned Parenthood clinic where she worked was located in a small town of roughly 30,000. Abortions were the clinic’s ‘bread and butter,’ something this employee fully supports. But, she noted, ‘trans-identifying kids are cash cows, and they are kept on the hook for the foreseeable future in terms of follow-up appointments, bloodwork, meetings, etc., whereas abortions are (hopefully) a one-and-done situation.’

The Land That Turns Women into Ostriches
Greg Morse, Staff writer | desiringGod.org | January 22, 2021
When God looks down at America, does he see a land where ostriches roam? In Scripture, the presence of ostriches in the land signifies desolation. Their presence in the Prophets is a sign of a barren, uninhabited land: “Wild beasts shall dwell with hyenas in Babylon, and ostriches shall dwell in her. She shall never again have people, nor be inhabited for all generations” (Jeremiah 50:39).

Abortion and the Coronavirus Vaccines
Article published in Right to Life of Michigan ProLife Update | December 10, 2020
Many prolife people are rightfully concerned about using any vaccination that is not ethically created and are wondering if any of the coronavirus vaccines contain the cells of aborted babies. Some do, and some don't. Currently there are only two vaccines that have successfully completed Phase III trials: Pfizer’s and Moderna’s.
Both are grown in a non-cell substance, and therefore do not contain any fetal tissue, which is good news. However, it must be noted that both were tested on cells from the HEK-293 cell line derived from the kidney of a child aborted in the Netherlands in 1973. Even though Pfizer and Moderna do not use fetal tissue inside their COVID-19 vaccines, there are some companies working on vaccines that do. Some vaccines also in development have no ethical concerns.

Pastors, It’s a Great Kindness to Talk to Your Church about Abortion
BY RANDY ALCORN | Eternal Perspectives Ministries | December 11, 2020
Many Christians and even some pastors have told me, “It’s cruel to bring up the subject of abortion.” But by talking about abortion in our churches—with grace and truth—we will prevent abortions and offer forgiveness and healing to women and men who are suffering in silence. Isn’t that an act of kindness both to unborn children and their parents? Because it will potentially make some people feel bad, would we therefore not talk about adultery, lying, stealing, or the need to share our faith in Christ or abstain from pornography, gossip, and greed? If we knew a number of people in our churches had abused their children, shouldn’t that motivate us to talk about child abuse, rather than not talk about it?

Murders That Won’t Go Viral - The Quiet Injustice Too Few Protest
Article by Samuel Sey, Guest Contributor | Desiring God.org | October30, 2020
Our society forgets about aborted babies. We Christians cannot forget them too. It is all too easy to forget about aborted babies. It is all too easy to forget faces we never see and little ones we never hold. We don’t witness viral videos of preborn babies being killed as they squirm helpless. We don’t see little caskets lined up for their little bodies. 
​Over the last several months of COVID-19, we have remembered the oldest among us, but have we forgotten about the youngest among us? As we remember perceived police brutality against black people, have we forgotten Planned Parenthood’s brutality against (black) babies?

Doctor Says There’s No Scenario Where Killing Baby in Late-Term Abortion Protects Women’s Health
Article by Steven Ertelt | LifeNews.com | October 22, 2020 
A prominent doctor who is also a member of Congress indicates there’s not any scenario where killing a baby in an abortion protects women’s health.  Doctor and Kansas Rep. Roger W. Marshall wrote an op-ed saying there aren’t any reasons why a late-term abortion is necessary to protect a woman’s health. “To this day, I can’t think of a single scenario where I thought a late-term abortion would help to improve a woman’s mental health,” Marshall wrote in a Monday op-ed published by Fox News. “Contrary to the pro-abortion movement, regardless of the mother’s underlying medical health, I never saw the scenario where we had to choose between a mom’s life and a baby,” Marshall wrote.

Planned Parenthood Finally Admits Founder Margaret Sanger’s Racism,
​But Will They Change What They Do?

Article by Randy Alcorn | July 27, 2020 | EPM.org 
Thirty years ago I spent many hours in a Portland library reading and photocopying article after article in years of original issues of Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger’s Birth Control Review. I was shocked at the blatant racism I found there, and her chilling proposal of eugenics to eliminate the “human weeds” of what she called inferior (non-white) races.

The Petition Drive to Ban Dismemberment Abortion Ends
On July 13, Planned Parenthood issued an expected challenge to the second sample of signatures for the Michigan Values Life petition drive to end dismemberment abortions. Sadly, that challenge has invalidated enough signatures to end the petition drive. We know we submitted signatures from more than 340,047 registered voters. It is tragic that children will continue to be dismembered because we lost just enough signatures due to errors and petition damage like small tears and stains. 

Instead of focusing on court challenges regarding the counting process, we will be focusing on the critical 2020 elections moving forward. For those who worked so hard on this petition drive, thank you! You did an excellent job. The bulk of the errors were things beyond your control, specifically people not knowing their voter registration status or forgetting they already signed the petition. Unlike our previous petition drives, we were forced to fight a series of unprecedented battles we did not choose. We had to retrain volunteers for a different petition drive law, the dismemberment ban was never sent to the governor to veto, a competing pro-life petition drive confused people, and we faced other challenges every step of the way. The biggest hurdle was the large turnout in the 2018 election, which increased the number of signatures required. Our signature total would have been more than required in any previous year in Michigan history. We submitted about 65,000 more signatures than we did in our successful petition drive in 2013 to stop taxes from paying for abortion insurance coverage. It wasn’t enough this time. 

Your effort behind this petition drive was worth it and will carry forward. We educated more than 400,000 people about this barbaric abortion procedure. We will need them in the future, because we will continue working until we end this form of violence and protect the lives of every unborn child.​
