President Biden said Monday that women in the U.S. face a cruel reality in the aftermath of Roe v. Wade’s demise, outlining the impact laws in red states that restrict abortion access have on women. Biden is expected to make abortion rights a major part of his reelection argument in the fall. On Monday, the president began remarks at a meeting with the White House reproductive rights task force by talking about women being turned away in emergency rooms and forced to go to court to fight for reproductive care. He told the story of a mother in Texas who...

If President Joe Biden — who has polled as the least popular president in modern history — is reelected in 2024, his top priority on day one of his second term is the killing of the unborn. During an interview on NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday, Biden deputy campaign manager Quentin Fulks said Biden would prioritize abortion and restoring Roe v. Wade on the first day of his second term. When the Supreme Court issued its Dobbs decision in June of 2022, it overturned Roe v. Wade, a 1973 decision that had invented the Constitutional “right” to abortion. “You...

Asked for his thoughts about the resignation of Jeff Roe from Never Back Down over the weekend, DeSantis told reporters, “I’m not involved in any of that.” “As you guys know, it’s a separate entity and so it’s just … this stuff just happens, and it’s not in my purview of what’s out there,” DeSantis continued. He later added, “It’s not a distraction for me … I know media may want to do it but at the end of the day, I’m focused on the mission.” Roe’s resignation from Never Back Down came hours after a Washington Post report shared...

The top strategist for the embattled super PAC backing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ' campaign for the White House resigned Saturday night in the latest sign of trouble for the GOP hopeful less than one month before voting begins with Iowa’s kickoff caucuses. Jeff Roe, the top adviser to Never Back Down, is the latest senior staffer to exit Never Back Down, which has been the largest outside group supporting DeSantis’ candidacy. The Associated Press reported earlier this week on growing concern among some within DeSantis’ operation that interactions between his campaign and his network of outside groups were blurring...

An Air Force AC-130 gunship destroyed a truck on Tuesday in Western Iraq after the aircraft’s crew watched Iranian-backed militia fighters use the vehicle to launch a ballistic missile attack on U.S. troops, injuring eight Americans, defense officials said. “Immediately following the attack, a U.S. military AC-130 aircraft in the area conducted a self-defense strike against an Iranian-backed militia vehicle and a number of Iranian-backed militia personnel involved in this attack,” according to U.S. Central Command, or CENTCOM. “This self-defense strike resulted in several enemy casualties.” The AC-130 was airborne at the time of the attack on Al Asad Air...

Pro-life laws save lives, but a lot of people don’t believe it. Abortion activists lie and traditional media outlets often parrot their claims without question. They equate abortions with miscarriages. They claim pro-life laws ban ectopic pregnancy care. And they claim pro-lifers don’t care if women die. But a simple review of the situation in America since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Dobbs v. Jackson last June easily disproves the lies. There has not been a single reported woman’s death due to state pro-life laws – even though more than a dozen have been in effect for about a...

Sixty-one percent of Americans in a new poll released on Thursday said they disapprove of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, ahead of the one-year anniversary of the ruling on Saturday. A little over half — 53 percent — said they strongly disapprove of the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision that found that the Constitution does not confer a right to abortion, the poll from NBC News found. Of the 36 percent who said they approve of the ruling, 27 percent said they do so strongly. Just 9 percent said they somewhat approve of the...

Senator Patty Murray (D-WA) said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” that she believed since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, chaos ensued. Murray said, “We are going to the floor today to offer what’s called the unanimous consent on a number of different bills to help protect the rights of women in this country. Republicans have a choice. They can object and not allow us to proceed but we believe this is a fight we have to be visible on. A year ago, Roe was overturned and women’s rights were ripped away from them and the chaos that...

First Lady Jill Biden will host a meeting discussing the impact of the Supreme Court Dobbs decision and the overturning of Roe v. Wade on Tuesday. Jill Biden will be joined by Assistant to the President and Director of the White House Gender Policy Council Jennifer Klein at the White House in a discussion on the impact of Dobbs v. Jackson on abortion as the country approaches the one-year anniversary of the overturning of Roe v. Wade.

ALITO delivered the opinion of the Court. Abortion presents a profound moral issue on which Amer- icans hold sharply conflicting views. Some believe fervently that a human person comes into being at conception and that abortion ends an innocent life. Others feel just as strongly that any regulation of abortion invades a woman’s right to control her own body and prevents women from achieving full equality. Still others in a third group think that abortion should be allowed under some but not all cir- cumstances, and those within this group hold a variety of views about the particular restrictions that...

Washington D.C., Feb 9, 2023 / 13:35 pm Despite the U.S. Supreme Court ruling to overturn Roe v. Wade, a federal judge is claiming that the 13th Amendment, which was ratified to abolish slavery, might establish a constitutional right to have an abortion. Under Roe v. Wade, the court previously held that the 14th Amendment protects a right to privacy and a right to privacy protects a woman’s right to decide whether to have an abortion. In the Dobbs decision last June, the court revoked that precedent, stating that “the Constitution does not confer a right to abortion” and that...

Former President Donald Trump on Thursday called on law enforcement to arrest the “slime” reporter who received the Supreme Court’s leaked opinion of its decision to overturn Roe v. Wade after the Court’s investigation could not determine the source of the leak. After more than six months of investigation and interviews with over 100 employees, Supreme Court investigators announced they were “unable to identify a person responsible by a preponderance of the evidence.”

Vice President Harris will deliver remarks in Florida on Sunday to mark the 50th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court ruling, aiming to put the spotlight back on abortion rights following last summer’s ruling that struck down the precedent set by Roe. Harris will travel to Florida where Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) last year signed into law a ban on abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy, to highlight the administration’s efforts to protect reproductive rights and abortion access.

It's no secret that the Biden administration has been woefully incompetent when it comes to protecting pro-lifers following the leak of the Dobbs v. Jackson decision in early May, and after it was officially released in late June. Not even conservative justices were safe, as the administration supported illegal protests outside of their homes, which are still going on. Someone wanted to assassinate Justice Brett Kavanaugh, and likely more conservative justices. Pro-life organizations, pregnancy centers, and Catholic Churches have also been targeted with vandalism and even violence. It just adds insult to injury that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)...

President Joe Biden on Monday acknowledged that his promise to legalize abortion nationwide would not come to fruition in the next Congress. “I don’t think there’s enough votes to codify,” Biden said at a press conference in Bali, Indonesia after a reporter asked him about the future of his promises on abortion. The president made the issue of legalizing abortion nationwide a critical part of his midterm campaign message.

‘Grave betrayal of trust’ made conservative supreme court justices targets, author of opinion reversing Roe v Wade claims

Filmmaker and activist Michael Moore is forecasting Democrats to keep control of Congress with a blue “tsunami” in this year’s midterms. With Election Day just two weeks away, Moore — who accurately predicted former President Trump’s 2016 win in the face of many pollsters who said otherwise — is anticipating a Democratic wave following the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the right to abortion established in Roe v. Wade. “On November 8th, 2022, an unprecedented tsunami of voters will descend upon the polls en masse — and nonviolently, legally, and without mercy remove every last stinking traitor to our Democracy,”...

Less than one month after armed FBI agents handcuffed and dragged Mark Houck, a pro-life activist and father, out of his home in front of his wife and children, the FBI raided another pro-life activist for his involvement in a peaceful protest outside a Tennessee abortion facility.FBI agents, with weapons drawn, swarmed Chet Gallagher’s home on Tuesday night, LifeNews.com reported, for allegedly violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, a law designed to keep people concerned with protecting unborn life away from abortion facilities. Gallagher was not home at the time of the raid so the FBI “demanded...

MADISON, WI — The Madison Abortion and Reproductive Rights Coalition for Health, or MAARCH, took the streets on Sunday, marching from UW’s Library Hall to the Capitol, seeking bodily autonomy in Wisconsin and beyond. At the Capitol, people took the microphone to share their stories, saying why they believe that people should be able to decide whether or not they should carry a child. “I’ve always thought that reproductive rights are so important,” Deborah Lofgren of the Dane County Raging Grannies said. “I went on to have three amazing daughters, and they always had some protection, and I now have...
