The first six years of Micaella Clay’s life were spent in the foster care system. She didn’t have a name or a birth date. She remembers her older brother calling her “sissy,” but had no identity of her own. Clay is an abortion survivor, born in a make-shift abortion facility on an unidentified migrant farm. Clay told Live Action News, “I was in 36 foster homes by the time I was finally adopted when I was six years old and given the name Micaella.” Throughout her young life, Clay battled with a myriad of health problems related to her heart,...

Abortion facilities can stay open for business in New Mexico during the coronavirus outbreak. On Wednesday, pro-abortion Democrat Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham issued an order temporarily prohibiting all non-essential health services in the state to preserve medical supplies for the patients who need them most, according to The NM Political Report. However, Lujan Grisham exempted abortion facilities from her order, allowing them to continue aborting unborn babies and using up scarce medical resources to do it. New Mexico is suffering from a shortage of personal protective equipment, and some medical workers are organizing public protests to highlight the problem, according...

All Louisiana abortion facilities have closed their doors for at least 30 days after the Louisiana Department of Health issued an order that all non-essential and elective surgeries be postponed in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Louisiana Department of Health issued new healthcare facility guidelines on Saturday ordering all surgical and medical procedures in the state to be postponed unless they are an “emergency.” The order is effective immediately to preserve Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) that is desperately needed by healthcare workers on the frontlines of the battle against COVID-19 (coronavirus). Additional goals of the order are to better...

A representative from the WV Governor Jim Justice's office says that abortion is healthcare and not elective. However, science and statistics show that termination of a living viable human child in the womb is NOT a "medical necessity" nor "essential" to preserve the patient's life, but most often done simply because the mother desires it. Notice also what priority they place on abortion in the image below. It is listed first. So much for the importance of their "other services," which they are largely postponing at this time, but state are such a necessity for the "clinic" to stay open....

Unborn babies will continue to be killed in elective abortions in Washington state even though most other elective and non-urgent medical procedures have been temporarily banned. A number of states are temporarily banning elective medical procedures to combat the coronavirus. The virus has killed thousands of people across the world, and tens of thousands more are sick. There is no vaccine or proven treatment yet, and hospitals are concerned about a shortage of medical resources and staff. Meanwhile, disability rights advocates and the elderly are concerned about medical rationing. Despite the global health crisis, Gov. Jay Inslee, a pro-abortion Democrat,...

Hollywood icon and abortion activist Harvey Weinstein has been sentenced to 23 years in prison after he was found guilty of first-degree sexual assault and third-degree rape. Weinstein, who is connected with Planned Parenthood and top pro-abortion politicians like Hillary Clinton, was charged with five sex crimes, including rape and predatory sexual assault. The jury released its decision last month and found him not guilty on the most serious charge, predatory sexual assault, which could have netted him a life decision. But the Hollywood mogul faced up to 25 years in prison on the other charges on which he was...

When the South Carolina Senate convenes Tuesday, lawmakers are expected to consider a bill to ban abortions once an unborn baby’s heartbeat is detectable. The heartbeat bill passed the state House in April, and Republican Gov. Henry McMaster said he would sign it. The South Carolina legislature has a two-year session. State House Bill 3020 requires abortion practitioners to test for an unborn baby’s heartbeat and prohibits the abortion if they detect one. An unborn baby’s heartbeat typically is detectable about six weeks of pregnancy, so the legislation would ban most abortions. It allows exceptions for rape, incest and risks...

A Cincinnati Planned Parenthood could be forced to close because it has not been able to comply with a health law that protects women suffering from emergency complications. The AP reports the abortion facility does not have a transfer agreement with a local hospital, as required by law. Until recently, the state granted it a variance, allowing Planned Parenthood to have agreements with four doctors to treat patients with emergency complications instead. In late December, however, Ohio Health Director Amy Acton rescinded the exception after one of the four doctors ended his agreement with the abortion chain, according to the...

PART TWO OF A TWO-PART OPERATION RESCUE SPECIAL REPORT A new survey of abortion facilities in the U.S. has revealed a new, disturbing industry-wide trend that shows that overall in 2019, surgical abortion facilities have expanded into the late-term abortion market, where lucrative multi-day procedures can reap quick profits. The survey also found the following: * There are 710 abortion facilities in the U.S., comprised of 464 surgical and 245 medical abortion clinics. * The percentage of surgical abortion facilities that self-impose abortion limits at 13 weeks or earlier dropped from 46% in 2018 to 31% in 2019, meaning more...

Planned Parenthood announced Wednesday it has partnered with the County of Los Angeles and the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) to open 50 taxpayer-funded centers that will distribute birth control drugs and provide “pregnancy options counseling” to teens. The nation’s largest abortion chain says it is calling the new in-school programs “Well Being Centers.” Alexis McGill Johnson, interim president and CEO of Planned Parenthood, in a press statement said: This groundbreaking program means that students don’t have to worry about missing school just to access the quality health care, education, and resources they need. Too many young people don’t...

A left-wing outlet praised liberal billionaire Warren Buffett’s Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation’s abortion funding between 2001-2014 in September, drooling that it is “the biggest funder of access to abortion for low-income women in the United States.” That funding of Abortion Inc. went well into 2017-2018. The Billion-Dollar King of Abortion’s organization has given $76,967,256 to Planned Parenthood and its many affiliates scattered across the U.S. and abroad between 2017-2018, according to Foundation Directory Online Data. To put that into context, a 2011 estimate by Planned Parenthood stated that the cost of a first-trimester abortion can be anywhere between a range...

Democrat presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg says he will bring Christianity back to the White House. Not that Christiaity is lacking there but, if it were, how would Buttigieg do that when he fully supports infanticide and killing babies in abortions up to birth? That would put him more in league with King Herod than Jesus Christ. Buttigieg said: Faith doesn’t have to be something to divide us. First of all, we gotta recognize that one of those many values honored by our flag is the fact that it belongs to people of every religion and no religion equally; that’s a...

A photo has emerged of abortionist LeRoy Carhart and his staff celebrating his 78th birthday in his abortion facility. Carhart’s choice of desk placards is disturbing. The placard reads, “Even on my Worst Days, I’m Killing It.” Carhart, who does abortions in all three trimesters, openly admitted in a recent interview with the BBC that he kills “babies.” The interview aired on July 22, 2019. Interviewer Hilary Andersson appeared visibly shocked by his admission: Carhart: The baby has no input in this, as far as I’m concerned. Hilary Andersson: But it’s interesting that you use the word baby because a...

Even though the President of the United States is supposed to appoint Supreme Court Justices based on their judicial philosophy and not their politics, President Bill Clinton admitted this past week that he chose Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg due to her steadfast commitment to upholding abortion. Speaking at Georgetown University Law School on Wednesday, the president said that protecting Roe v. Wade played a significant role in his selection of Ginsburg to the Supreme Court. “There is one thing that we did discuss, and I feel I should tell you, because it will illustrate why I thought I should appoint...

Two weeks ago, I wrote a post titled, “What’s happened to former PPFA President Dr. Leana Wen?” How could I have known that Wen’s profile would raise a couple of hundred points because of a tweet she wrote about Tuesday’s 4th debate among Democrats running for President. Talk about stirring up a hornet’s nest! First, some background. Once upon a time—and not so long ago—pro-abortion Democrats took refuge from the charge that they were “pro-abortion” by insisting that they supported the Hyde Amendment (which cuts off almost all federal funding for abortion) and were really, truly, honestly uncomfortable with “late”...

Marietta, GA – In an unusual case with national implications, a jury in Cobb County, Georgia, has found now-retired abortionist Daniel McBrayer and his defunct Alpha Gynecology and Consulting liable for causing a nuisance that affected other tenants of a business park that once housed the abortion business. The Governor’s Ridge Office Park Association and other plaintiffs were awarded almost $1.5 million by a Cobb County jury, including more than $311,000 in attorney fees and expenses, according to Law.com. The office park association contended that McBrayer was already the subject of frequent protests when he moved into the office in...

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Four Indiana lawmakers are demanding an investigation to determine if more than 2,000 medically preserved fetal remains found at the Illinois home of a former Indiana abortion doctor were illegally transported across state lines. State Rep. Ron Bacon and three fellow Republican lawmakers issued a statement Sunday saying the Indiana attorney general’s office should investigate the abortion clinics in Allen, Lake and St. Joseph’s counties where Dr. Ulrich Klopfer worked. The attorney general’s office hasn’t responded to a request for comment Monday.

Pro-life Republican leaders in the House held their own hearing Tuesday to make the case for a bill that would protect babies who survive abortions, after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi denied them the use of a regular committee hearing room. “Over the course of 2019, radical legislators, and we’ve heard it all the way from New York to Illinois to Virginia, had moved to strip protections for babies who survive abortions,” Rep. Ann Wagner, R-Mo., said during the unusual meeting. “I am shocked that [there] are even American politicians who want to deny babies lifesaving medical care,” Wagner said. “As...

The New York Times is keeping readers in the dark about Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders’ embrace of population control, including abortion, as a means of combating climate change. Sanders was asked during CNN’s climate town hall on Wednesday whether he would support measures to curb population growth in order to protect the climate. The Vermont senator answered yes, and said using taxpayer dollars to fund abortion abroad, “especially in poor countries around the world,” is something he “very, very strongly” supports. WATCH: **VIDEO ON LINK** Sanders’ endorsement of population control drew a sharp backlash, and was covered by some...

Jefferson City) -- Two groups are suing Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft for his handling of an attempt to block new abortion regulations. The American Civil Liberties Union of Missouri and the No Bans on Choice Committee say Ashcroft refused to issue the ballot language needed to start collecting signatures for a public vote. In a press call on Thursday, representatives of the groups say Ashcroft robbed Missourians of 78 days by giving abortion rights advocates 14 days to collect 100,000 signatures. “We had to face reality and we know that we can’t ask our volunteers in good faith to...
