VIDEO: Fox host cries as former abortionist describes late-term abortion

With the extremes of abortion-on-demand back in the national spotlight, former abortionist Dr. Anthony Levatino appeared on “Fox & Friends” Thursday morning to offer a firsthand view of the subject, with a retelling that left a deep impact on interviewer Ainsley Earhardt.

Levatino is a board-certified OB/GYN who performed more than 1,200 abortions over the course of his 40-year career, but left the industry following the death of his daughter and rose to prominence in recent years as a pro-life advocate. He has offered his expertise to a series of Live Action videos detailing what abortion procedures actually entail, and congressional testimony against the claim that abortion is medically necessary.

Photo shows little girl crushing baby doll at pro-abortion rally

A disturbing photo has surfaced showing a little girl crushing a baby doll with her foot at an abortion rally in Argentina.

The photo was taken in Buenos Aires at one of the many Feb. 19 abortion rallies in the South American country. The rallies were organized by the National Campaign for the Right to Legal, Safe and Free Abortion. Women and girls at the rallies wore green kerchiefs as a unifying symbol of their support for the killing of preborn children.

CALL FOR ACTION: HB 2495 and HB2467

The Illinois abortion bills HB2467 and HB2495 which would have enshrined abortion in Illinois were not called in the Human Services Committee on March 6th.  Instead they were placed in a sub-committee.

Reasons why they were not called are speculative but it should be known the amount of witness slips that were submitted as opponents surely had some influence in the decision not to call the bill.

Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, and Personal PAC have joined forces, with Governor JB Pritzker and several lawmakers once again, to eradicate any and all limits on killing babies in Illinois in the form of two bills; HB 2495 and HB 2467.  Both are in the Human Services Committee  These bills need to be stopped!

In fear of Roe v. Wade being overturned, they will do everything in their power to preserve the non-existent moral “right” to slaughter inconvenient and imperfect humans in Illinois. In a press conference on February 12th, they made their intentions clear - their bills will do the following:

- Repeal the Illinois Abortion Law of 1975 including criminal penalties on doctors who commit abortion

- Repeal the Partial Birth Abortion ban, which allows babies to be killed up to the time of birth

- Remove any and all regulations on clinics that commit abortion

- Repeal the Parental Notification Act of 1995

State Representative Emanuel Chris Welch (D-Westchester) is the chief sponsor of the HB 2467, a proposal to repeal the Parental Notice of Abortion Act of 1995. This law only requires notification—not consent. But pro-abortion advocates don’t want anything—not even parents—to hinder a child’s ability to have her baby killed. Liz Higgins, Planned Parenthood Associate Medical Director, stated, “Planned Parenthood and our partners are not going to let this become a country where people can no longer access abortion.” This includes our daughters. The government is once again interfering in familial relationships in order to advance Leftist “values.”

This must be stopped. Planned Parenthood and the ACLU will stop at nothing to achieve their body-and soul-destroying goals. If we fail to do everything in our power to block the passage of these bills, we become complicit in the destruction of countless more innocent lives.

This abortion extremism must be stopped!

Ask your state legislators to vote against HB 2495 and HB 2467.

According to Sen. Duckworth, Newborn Protection is "Heartless and Extremist" and calls bill to Protect Babies Born Alive a "Political Stunt"

Mother of a two year old and 10 month old, Illinois' US Senator Tammy Duckworth attacked a proposal to protect babies born alive as a "political stunt"... "steeped in ignorance and misogyny."

The measure is part of the Right's "long march to strip women of their rights," Duckworth said. "Heartless, extremist policies ..."

Yet her most notable achievements as a U.S. Senator is that she's the first U.S. senator to have a baby while in office and has promoted required breastfeeding locations in airports and other public locations. Still, she's a favorite of abortion extremists:

Republican Senator pleads with his Democrat colleagues to support the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Act

In an impassioned speech from the floor of the U.S. Senate Chamber, a Republican senator pleaded with his Democrat colleagues to support the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Act, designed to protect children born alive during botched abortions from being left to die.

“It’s absolutely absurd that we’re having to decide whether to give human babies the level of protection under federal law that we give to animals,” said U.S. Sen. Steve Daines of Montana in the closing moments before the vote was taken.

US House again tries to force a vote on H.R. 962

Congressman Guy Reschenthaler (R-Pa.) (pictured) furthered Republican efforts to force a vote on H.R. 962, the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which protects babies born alive after failed abortions. This marks the seventh time Democrats have said no to protecting these children and stopping infanticide.

H.R. 962, introduced by Rep. Ann Wagner (R-MO), ensures that a baby born alive after a failed or attempted abortion receives the same medical care as any other newborn. It would also penalize doctors who allow such infants to die or who intentionally kill a newborn following a failed abortion. Reschenthaler is a cosponsor of this critical legislation.

Press Conference Held Condemning Senate Dems for killing the Born-Alive Legislation

Jennifer Popik, J.D., director of federal legislation 

for National Right to Life

Rep. Ann Wagner (R-Mo.) and five of her pro-life House colleagues held a press conference to condemn Senate Democrats for failing to Advance the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act (S. 311), sponsored by Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.). The final vote was 53-44 with all but three Democrats voting to block the bill from receiving the 60 votes necessary to move S.311 forward (“invoke cloture”). The bill would extend federal legal protection to babies who are born alive during an abortion.

In the House, Democrats have erected a procedural hurtle which prevents a similar bill from being heard. Along with her colleagues, Wagner urged House members to sign onto a “discharge petition” to force the same legislation to a vote on the floor of the House.
A discharge petition is a procedural tactic to circumvent the Speaker of the House when the Speaker opposes a measure. It allows an absolute majority of the House (218 lawmakers) to force a floor vote on a bill, even if pro-abortion leaders oppose the measure.

Rep. Wagner was joined by Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.), Rep. Jackie Walorski (R-Ind.), Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ), Rep. Roger Marshall (R-KS), Rep. Michael Burgess (R-Tx.), and several prolife organizations who all made remarks. The message was united in expressing shock over the 44 members of the United States Senate who voted to protect what amounts to infanticide: willfully withholding life-saving care from a born-alive infant.

Born-Alive Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act (S. 130) fails in the Senate

The U.S. Senate today voted 53-44 to advance the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act (S. 130) sponsored by Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.), but pro-abortion Democrats, in a near-party-line-vote, blocked the bill from receiving the 60 votes necessary to move forward (“invoke cloture”). The bill would extend federal legal protection to babies who are born alive during an abortion.

“Today we saw the extremism of the abortion industry’s agenda on full display,” said Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life. “The 44 members of the United States Senate who voted against this bill now need to explain to their constituents why they believe abortion is such an absolute ‘right’ that it protects what amounts to infanticide: willfully withholding life-saving care from a born-alive infant.”

New York-style abortion-till-birth legislation proposed by Illinois Democrats

The Thomas More Society has released a startling analysis of the Democrat-sponsored House Bill 2495 and Senate Bill 1942, labeled by abortion promoters as the "Reproductive Health Act." The proposed bill, along with a partner component, House Bill 2467 and Senate Bill 1594, would comprise "the most radical piece of abortion legislation that has ever been introduced in Illinois, and...the most radical proposed in any state to date," according to the Thomas More Society's detailed analysis, by constitutional law expert Paul Benjamin Linton.

"The Democratic supermajority's proposals now pending in the Illinois General Assembly are the most pro-abortion legislative measures of their type in the country," said Peter Breen, Vice President and Senior Counsel for the Thomas More Society, and former Illinois House Minority Floor Leader. "The barbaric procedures promoted by this legislation are nothing short of infanticide. These bills go well beyond the recent New York law and would turn Illinois into a third-trimester abortion destination and an underage abortion haven. Governor J.B. Pritzker promised that his Illinois Democrats would turn the state into the most 'progressive' in the country on abortion, and these bills deliver on that violent promise: Pritzker and his Democratic supermajorities would convert the 'Land of Lincoln' into the 'Abortion Capital of America'."

Trump Administration’s rule on the Title X Family Planning Program protects the program from funding abortions

Trump Administration’s final rule finalized on Friday, February 22, 2019, prohibits Title X projects from referring for abortions or funding aboriton and requires Title X recipients to maintain physical and financial separation from abortion clinics—in other words, no co-location of Title X family planning clinics with abortion clinics—and better enforces compliance with abuse reporting requirements protects the program from funding abortions.

Prior to the finalized rule, the Title X Program operated under Clinton-era regulations that actively supported abortion by requiring grantees to make abortion referrals and by funding clinics that provide abortions.

Assisted suicide leading insurance companies to deny treatments

Brian Callister is a practicing physician and medical school professor with more than 30 years of experience. In his article in the Las Vegas Review Journal, he writes about the dangers of physician assisted suicide and complains about the “sugar coated” phrase used by assisted suicide supporters, “physician aid in dying.” Supporters claim they are giving patients another option. In reality, Callister says, doctors and insurance companies have incentives to pressure patients to kill themselves. Callister writes:

When insurers and our government are faced with skyrocketing health care costs, PAS gives them the real and inexpensive alternative to deny you care and provide you with a deadly prescription instead. It’s a lot cheaper to give you a bunch of pills to kill you rather than pay to treat you. Sadly, such real abuses are already being witnessed in states where PAS is legal. Since PAS became legal in California and Oregon, I have experienced firsthand the abuses that PAS incentivizes.

NRLC tells Senate no more delays on Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act

Majority Leader McConnell (pictured) has indicated that on Monday, February 25th, the Senate will vote on cloture on the motion to proceed to the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act (S. 311), sponsored by Senator Ben Sasse. The National Right to Life Committee (NRLC), the nationwide federation of state right-to-life organizations, urges you to vote “aye” on this motion. We intend to include the roll call in our scorecard of key right-to-life roll calls of the 116th Congress.

National Right to Life believes that it is time for Congress to act decisively to put the entire abortion industry on notice that when they treat a born-alive human person as medical waste, as a source for organ harvesting, or as a creature who may be subjected to lethal violence with impunity, they will do so at grave legal peril. S. 311 would enact an explicit requirement that a baby born alive during an abortion must be afforded “the same degree” of care that would apply “to any other child born alive at the same gestational age,” including transportation to a hospital. This language does not dictate bona fide medical judgments nor require futile measures, but rather, requires that babies born alive during abortions are treated in the same manner as those who are spontaneously born prematurely.

Nurse: I saw preborn baby ‘trying to get away’ from abortion instruments

Sarah Cleveland is a board certification Registered Diagnostic Medical Sonographer. Fifteen years ago, she assisted in an amniocentesis that was done under ultrasound guidance. In an amniocentesis, a needle is inserted into a woman’s uterus to withdraw amniotic fluid, which is then tested to detect fetal abnormalities. It is not an abortion procedure, and the target of the needle is not the baby. Sarah describes what she witnessed happening in the mother’s uterus when the procedure began:

… I placed the transducer over the uterus and saw a baby approximately 18 weeks gestation on the screen. He was kicking, playful, and happy. Then the doc inserted the needle, immediately, the baby knew something was in his space. That something was different. As I held the transducer to guide the needle to a safe area away from the placenta and away from Baby, I saw Baby dart away from where we were in the uterus and move as far away as possible to the other side of the womb. He stopped kicking and playing… Then the heart rate. His little heart rate sky rocketed. He was scared. In fact, I am convinced he was terrified.

Stericycle reportedly still picking up aborted baby remains from facilities

An investigation by the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD) was called on the concern that A Preferred Women’s Health Center of Augustina, Georgia, was not properly disposing of aborted babies. According to the report, Stericycle is the sole contractual provider of medical waste removal for the abortion facility which means Stericycle is still transporting and disposing of the remains of aborted babies, despite repeated statements to the contrary. Through a series of phone calls, the EPD investigator confirmed that “all of the biomedical waste that is picked up from the clinic is taken to a site that is an incinerator and that the facility has an air permit through the state of North Carolina.”

Despite the EPD report noting that state law was being observed and therefore no action would be taken against Stericycle, the report also confirmed the initial complaint that the company was not abiding by its own professed policy. It appears that Stericycle has been found once again to be misleading the public about its business transporting and disposing of aborted babies’ remains.

CALL TO ACTION: Call and Urge Your US Senators to Vote YES on the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Act!

In light of the radical trend that started with the signing of the Reproductive Health Act by Governor Andrew Cuomo (D-N.Y.), allowing abortion through all stages of pregnancy and removing explicit protections for babies born alive following a failed abortion, the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act (S. 311), sponsored by Senator Ben Sasse (R-Ne.), would enact an explicit requirement that a baby born alive during an abortion must be afforded “the same degree” of care that would apply “to any other child born alive at the same gestational age,” including transportation to a hospital.

The bill applies the existing penalties of the federal murder statute to anyone who performs “an overt act that kills a child born alive.” The bill also empowers women with a right to sue their abortionists and others for harm caused by violations of the act.

Call your senators to urge them to support this legislation when the bill comes to the floor on February 25th.
