This State Just Saw a Spike in Abortions
Brenna Lewis | July 17, 2020
Multiple articles have revealed the state of Iowa has seen roughly a 25% spike in abortion. Many are blaming the state’s decision to withdraw from the federally funded family planning program. In this article by Jackie Pascale, it is further explained: “The program was replaced with a state-run version, which barred Planned Parenthood’s participation.” This withdrawal occurred in 2017.

Jessica Nardi | July 15, 2020
Planned Parenthood is throwing in everything they can to get an abortion supporter in the White House this election year. They recently launched a digital ad campaign for presidential candidate Joe Biden, reported by AXIOS as their biggest election effort yet and part of a $45 million investment before the election.

Brenna Lewis | July 15, 2020
In the early morning hours of Independence Day, a group of students assembled in downtown Rochester, New York to state a simple truth outside the headquarters of Planned Parenthood for Upstate and Western New York.

Brenna Lewis | July 14, 2020
The state of Georgia garnered national attention in 2019 with their attempt to pass a “heartbeat bill,” legislation that would prohibit abortion when baby’s heartbeat can be detected. A parallel situation just occurred in Tennessee when the court immediately blocked their heartbeat bill minutes after its signing by the governor. The ACLU (supposedly the ‘American Civil Liberties Union’) can chalk up

Planned Parenthood Vows to Force Catholic Nuns to Fund Abortions
Jessica Nardi | July 14, 2020
It’s always a similar story – a pro-life victory happens and Planned Parenthood comes out threatening to undo it. Sad, but unsurprising.

Jessica Nardi | July 13, 2020
Seasoned pro-life advocates who volunteer for sidewalk counseling outside abortion facilities know there are some very strict laws about where you can stand and how you engage women coming for an abortion. In fact, they’re sometimes so restrictive that they’re later repealed as unconstitutional limitations on the First Amendment. This past week, however, the Supreme Court (SCOTUS) passed up

“Abortion is Safer Than Childbirth” is an Impossible Claim: Here’s Why
Brenna Lewis | July 10, 2020
Ever heard the pro-choice talking point “abortion is safer than childbirth?” This perverted fear tactic, in every single instance of its use, is a total farce. And the reason is very simple. There is no national abortion reporting law in America. No, seriously. Many states report nothing at all. Most data we have about abortion is because abortion facilities

Jessica Nardi | July 9, 2020
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi recently announced that the Democratic House has decided not to try to end the Hyde Amendment during the election year. Pelosi has long been pushing to end the Hyde Amendment — a legislation in place since 1976 to protect taxpayers from being forced to fund abortions. While this is good news for the pro-life movement
