Actress Alyssa Milano seeks pro-abortion stories, gets pro-life ones instead

Pro-abortion actress Alyssa Milano took to Twitter on Friday to ask followers to send in their “personal abortion story” so she could share them on her podcast. Her goal, she said, was “to help shine a light on the importance” of abortion. In return, pro-lifers and regretful post-abortive women shared the reasons why they are against abortion.

I had an abortion at the age of 23. I missed out on what a precious gift I choose to give up. I’m thankful for God’s grace and forgiveness and for raising my precious baby in heaven. I get to see my child when I get to heaven. What an amazing day that will

It's personal and the most difficult decision I ever made. I would never talk about my story to encourage abortion, I would discourage it, so obviously you wouldn't want to hear my story.

Dont Findme@amiguita2u

San Francisco late 1973, my mother told by 3 separate doctors at 3 different facilites to abort because she was 39 (ridiculous), Latina and this would be her 6th. Was it racism? "You don't have to tell your husband." How many babies didn't make it in this situation?

My birth mother had a D&E Abortion that aborted my twin, but missed me. Her abortion traumatized her. She says if she could go back to when she was pregnant with me knowing what abortion does, she would have made a different choice. Abortion hurts women and women deserve better.

Sure. My ex partner aborted our baby without me knowing. One person out of three killed one & led to 5 yrs of anxiety, depression & self loathing for the other two.

Struggling to see the autonomy here. Oh and our baby was killed. Have a nice day Alyssa.

Milano is also sure to tell women who might be interested in sharing their abortion stories that they can remain anonymous. But remaining anonymous would mean that shouting your abortion isn’t something that women want to do. The fact is that abortion is the taking of a life — your own child’s life. Even if women are acting as if they are proud, at some point – at some moment in time, there is the possibility that they will regret their abortion. If and when that happens, it won’t be the abortion advocates like Milano there to help them pick up the pieces. It will be pro-lifers and programs like Rachel’s Vineyard, which help women heal after the trauma of abortion whether that trauma surfaces on day one or day 2,000. Without pro-lifers, post-abortive women suffering from the devasting effects of abortion would have no place to go. Pro-abortion women like Milano and the organizations that push abortion will simply ignore them, writing them off as collateral damage of a “right” that they seek to protect at all costs.

If you are struggling with a past abortion, please reach out to Rachel’s Vineyard or Silent No More Awareness.

Teachers unions collude with Planned Parenthood to fund abortion with forced dues, pro-life teacher warns

Union dues to the United States’ most powerful teachers unions subsidize abortions and finance Planned Parenthood’s indoctrination of children, according to a leading figure in the fight for teachers’ conscience rights.

On Sunday, Fox News published a column by Rebecca Friedrichs, who spent 28 years teaching in California public schools and was the lead plaintiff in Friedrichs v. California Teachers Association, a 2016 Supreme Court case concerning forced union dues that was poised to strike a blow against forced union dues until the death of Justice Antonin Scalia led to a tied ruling that failed to set precedent. The column was adapted from Friedrichs’ 2018 book Standing Up to Goliath.

Iowa pro-lifers counter Planned Parenthood billboard campaign with their own

Planned Parenthood’s efforts to normalize abortion have reached all the way to billboards, and Iowa’s pro-lifers aren’t having it. That’s why Iowans For Life (IFL) and the Iowa Coalition of Pro-Life Leaders have launched their own billboard campaign. The initiative, titled #SayLifeIowa, is a response to Planned Parenthood’s #SayAbortion campaign, which attempts to portray abortion as normal “healthcare.”

“We HAD to respond to Planned Parenthood’s outrageous billboard campaign,” IFL executive director Maggie DeWitte told LifeSiteNews. “We have to show the true side of abortion; that it certainly is NOT healthcare, it hurts women, and destroys lives.”

New poll finds majority of Americans support protecting abortion survivors

New polling from Rasmussen found that an overwhelming majority support legislation protecting abortion survivors. 69% of voters agreed that “doctors involved should be required to care for the child and make all reasonable efforts to keep it alive.” This included 77% of Republicans, 72% of Independents, and 61% of Democrats, giving such legislation strong bipartisan support.

The polling also reaffirmed earlier data, finding that a strong majority of Americans continue to want abortion to remain legal. However, 42% of respondents also said that it is “too easy” for women to get an abortion, and 51% believed that abortion should only happen in rare circumstances, or not at all.

Majority of US ‘registered voters’ support heartbeat abortion bans, new poll finds

On April 3, pollster Scott Rasmussen released the results of a poll of registered voters he conducted with the polling firm HarrisX, focusing on the latest trend in state pro-life legislation.

When simply asked about banning abortion “at any point after a fetal heartbeat has been detected,” a combined 55% said they would either “somewhat” or “strongly” oppose the ban. But when the question is prefaced with the definitive statement that a “fetal heartbeat can be detected as early as six weeks into a pregnancy,” 56% of respondents said they would favor the ban.

Rule changes to Medicare Part D can deter drug innovation and reduce access to life-saving medication.

We are equally concerned with protecting older people and people with disabilities from euthanasia as with protecting the unborn from abortion. We have recognized that involuntary denial of lifesaving medical treatment is a form of involuntary euthanasia, and therefore have opposed government rationing of health care.

While we understand the goal of reducing drug costs down for the Medicare program, we believe that the proposed rules changes to Medicare Part D can deter drug innovation and reduce access to life-saving medication.

There are concerns with the proposed rule changes to Medicare Part D drug coverage and its implications on limiting access to lifesaving drugs through potential use of drug price controls. According to the proposed rule, Medicare could now “exclude a protected class drug from a formulary if the price of the drug increased beyond a certain threshold over a specified look-back period.”

The bottom line concern is that drug price controls like this can limit access to life-saving drugs. The explanation begins with the fact that drug price controls have a devastating effect on the development of new lifesaving drugs. Research and development is financed by investors, and investment in pharmaceutical development is risky. Many promising leads fail to work out and never make it to market.

Bernie Sanders’ support for Planned Parenthood is an exercise in hypocrisy

At the We the People summit on April 1, Democratic 2020 presidential candidate Bernie Sanders of Vermont applauded Planned Parenthood for its “grassroots activism,” adding that he doesn’t understand how his Republican colleagues can reconcile their support for smaller government with their support for pro-life laws restricting abortion.

When a 27-year-old woman in the audience tells Sanders she had an abortion at age 23, saying, “I did what was best for me,” and that she feels “shameless” about it — to the enthusiastic applause of the audience — Sanders says, “It’s not easy coming up here and saying what you did,” and thanks her for her “courage.” But what’s so courageous about admitting you had a procedure akin to having tonsils removed? Sanders unintentionally reveals the truth: Abortion isn’t like any other “medical procedure,” otherwise it wouldn’t take “courage” to admit.

Ohio lawmakers send ‘heartbeat bill’ to governor, who says he will sign it

An agreed-upon final version of the “heartbeat bill” now heads to Governor Mike DeWine’s desk in the state of Ohio, following the news today that the Ohio Senate voted 18-13 to accept the changes made to the legislation by the House. Governor DeWine has stated that he plans to sign the bill into law. As expected, pro-abortion groups are already threatening lawsuits.

The bill would ban abortion once the preborn child’s heartbeat can be detected, which is typically around 5-6 weeks gestation.  According to News5Cleveland, “Ohio joins five other states that have passed such restrictive abortion measures” and “makes no exceptions for rape or incest.”

Rapist took pre-teen victim for seven abortions, and no one stopped him

Abortion has once again been used to cover up sexual abuse. The victim was sexually abused for years, beginning at age 12, and was allegedly forced to have seven abortions by Florida man Leon Norman Wiley, Jr., now 52 years old. The victim told police that Wiley took her virginity at age 12 and engaged in sex with her “500 times” up to “three times a day” until July of last year. The victim is now in her early 20s, and recently came forward about the abuse after Wiley allegedly began to make inappropriate sexual contact with her seven-year-old daughter.

According to the police report obtained by Live Action News, the victim “reported being impregnated approximately seven (7) times during those incidents. Each time she would get pregnant Leon Wiley Jr. would take her to a woman’s health clinic to receive an abortion [Orlando and Ft. Lauderdale].” It appears that the underage abortions were never reported to authorities by the abortion facilities. A spokesperson for the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office was unable to confirm to Live Action News the age of the victim with each abortion; however, the disturbing information reveals yet again how easy it is for sexual predators to use abortion to cover their crimes.

Law and Order: SVU’ offers surprising defense of babies conceived in rape

While many use rape as a reason for a woman to have an abortion, popular TV show “Law and Order: SVU” offered a surprising and poignant defense of preborn children conceived in rape, with the main character, Olivia Benson, pointing out that babies in these situations are innocent and don’t deserve the violence of such a cruel death.

Benson, portrayed by actress Mariska Hargitay, is investigating the alleged rape of a girl named Kitty by her therapist. When the Special Victims Unit begins investigating, Kitty realizes she is pregnant, and immediately thinks that abortion is her best choice, even though she dreamed of having children of her own. “I always dreamed of being a mom,” Kitty said. “I had this doll when I was five, Penelope. She came with a bottle and a diaper. My imaginary husband was this handsome prince named Sebastian. I never thought that my baby’s father would be a man who raped me.” Benson tries to reassure Kitty, telling her that she was strong and could get through it, but Kitty remains steadfast in her decision to have an abortion. “I could never love a baby who was conceived by a monster,” she says, before asking Benson what she thinks. And this is the first of several pro-life moments in the episode.
