A billboard in Dallas, Texas has sparked backlash from conservatives on social media and rightfully so, as it promotes the destruction of human life as “self-care.” “Black women take care of their families by taking care of themselves. Abortion is self-care,” the billboard by The Afiya Center reads, along with the hashtag #TrustBlackWomen. The group was responding to a billboard message a pastor put up last month that said “Abortion is not health care. It hurts women and murders their babies.” “It sparked anger in me,” Marsha Jones from The Afiya Center told NewsFix. “It is shaming, it is stigmatizing,...

The Handmaid's Tale' protesters target Kavanaugh originally appeared on abcnews.go.com As Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh took his seat Tuesday before senators ready to scrutinize his stance on abortion, a group of women stood in silent protest outside the judge's confirmation hearing room, dressed in floor-length red gowns and white bonnets to reflect the Dystopian threat of "The Handmaid's Tale." About 15 women lined the balconies overlooking the entrance to Senate office building. Their costumes, coupled with their silence, were meant to carry an ominous message from Margaret Atwood's novel-turned Hulu miniseries about a world devoid of basic human...

Kids aren’t off limits when it comes to Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearing – at least not in Hollywood. After several interruptions from protesters, Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s young daughters were ushered out of his confirmation hearing on Sept. 4. Hollywood screenwriter and producer Randi Mayem Singer (Mrs. Doubtfire) took to Twitter to “hope” for gun safety and “reproductive rights” (aka abortion) for 13-year-old Margaret and 10-year-old Liza. Singer, who dislikes both President Trump and Kavanaugh, began by quoting Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) telling Kavanaugh, "I hope your daughters still get the day off from school." “This...

Planned Parenthood launched a new, six-figure ad buy against President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh Tuesday as the first day of his confirmation hearings got underway. The advertisements will air in Alaska, targeting Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), a self-described pro-choice Republican, who will be a key vote in the confirmation process. The ads emphasize the importance of the Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion. Murkowski met with Kavanaugh last week but has made no indication of how she plans to vote. In a statement, Murkowski said she and Kavanuagh discussed a wide range of issues in the...

Despite the fact that pro-abortion Senator Dianne Feinstein has never been a judge or an attorney, she claimed during hearings on Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh that she sentenced women to jail for having illegal abortions. I want to talk a little bit about one of the big decisions that we have the belief that although you told Senator Collins that you believe it was ‘settled law,’ the question is really do you believe that it’s correct law, and that’s Roe v. Wade. I was, in the ‘50s and ‘60s, active first as a student at Stanford, I saw what...

Two-time failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton attacked U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh Wednesday as Senate hearings on his confirmation continued. Clinton, who supported a radical pro-abortion agenda during her campaigns, does not like the idea that Kavanaugh could be the fifth conservative justice on the high court and a possible vote on abortion restrictions and the overturning of Roe v. Wade. “If Brett Kavanaugh becomes a Supreme Court justice, will he help gut or overturn Roe v. Wade, which legalized abortion in America? Yes, of course he will,” Clinton wrote on Twitter. Clinton continued: “A few weeks before Kavanaugh’s...

FULL TITLE: 'You're Trump's puppet!' Protesters erupt AGAIN during second day of Supreme Court confirmation hearing as they call Brett Kavanaugh a 'sham justice' and red-gowned 'handmaids' line Senate hallways The 'handmaids' were lined up in the hall again Wednesday in a Senate office building as Judge Brett Kavanaugh faced his first day of aggressive political ping-pong with lawmakers who will determine whether he takes a seat on the Supreme Court. Following the arrests of 70 anti-Kavanaugh dissenters on Tuesday during the first day of confirmation hearings, Judiciary Committee staffers reassigned half of the 44 public seats to themselves. Protesters,...

The field of bioethics seems to be less and less concerned about what is considered ethical in medicine, and more and more concerned with justifying a culture of death. It’s no longer enough for abortion to be legal; bioethicists are increasingly calling for the murder of born infants to be permitted. And though these calls for legal infanticide are always met with outrage, they continue to come. Finnish bioethicist Joona Räsänen has argued in the medical journal Bioethics that pro-life arguments against infanticide “are not convincing” and “cannot show infanticide to be immoral.” While Räsänen has not argued for infanticide...

Sarah Weddington, the Texas attorney who argued for abortion in Roe v. Wade, expressed concern that U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh has “the determination” to overturn the infamous case. Speaking with Glamour this week, Weddington echoed the worries of many in the abortion industry about the future of the high court and abortion on demand. If confirmed, Kavanaugh would swing the court to a 5-4 conservative majority and open up the possibility of overturning Roe v. Wade and restoring protections to unborn babies. Senate hearings about his confirmation begin Tuesday. “For several years now I’ve talked about how my...

LifeZette talked to Nick Loeb about the controversy around his pro-life project, which stars Jon Voight, Stacey Dash and Robert Davi The upcoming “Roe v. Wade” movie has quickly become one of the entertainment industry’s most controversial films in recent weeks.

During my journey to confirmation, I learned that throughout the Church's history, there have been great saints and terrible sinners, even in the highest offices of the Church. Of the twelve apostles, Judas betrayed Jesus, and Peter, the first bishop of Rome, denied Him three times. Christ Himself predicted that scandals would be inevitable in the Church (Matthew 18:7). But Christ promised to never abandon His Bride (Ephesians 5:25-7). My faith was not shaken by revelations about abuse and cover-ups at the highest levels of the Church... The ills of the world have infected our Church. This is not surprising—no...

South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster is not giving up on his promise to protect his state taxpayers from funding the largest abortion group in America, Planned Parenthood. On Thursday, McMaster said he plans to contest a judge’s ruling blocking his efforts, WCNC News reports. “My position is the taxpayers of South Carolina who do not support the promotion of abortion should not have to support with their tax money the promotion of abortion, and that’s what Planned Parenthood does any way you look at it,” McMaster told reporters. In July, McMaster took a bold stance against the abortion industry by...

Oprah Winfrey angered a lot of her fan base this summer when her magazine promoted a campaign that attempts to normalize the killing of unborn babies. The July issue of her “O” magazine featured “Shout Your Abortion” founder Amelia Bonow in its “Inspiration” section, CNS News reported. Bonow, who began the campaign to urge women to brag about their abortions, soon will be coming out with a new book by the same title. “Abortion is normal,” Bonow’s campaign claims repeatedly and backs up with stories of women who say their abortions (unborn babies’ deaths) were a good thing. “My abortion...

Protestant leader Franklin Graham called out an Oregon business Tuesday for creating an ice cream flavor to celebrate the legalized killing of unborn babies. Graham, the son of the late evangelist Billy Graham, said abortion activists are “absolutely frantic” about President Donald Trump appointing a second conservative justice to the U.S. Supreme Court. “They’re holding rallies and pulling out all the stops in a campaign to try to stop Judge [Brett] Kavanaugh from being confirmed to the Supreme Court,” he wrote on Facebook. “NARAL Oregon is even partnering with a Portland ice-cream parlor for a pro-abortion themed ice cream flavor—’Rocky...
