VIDEO: Students’ pro-life chalk messages destroyed at Fresno State

Wednesday, May 2nd, a vandal at Fresno State was caught on video washing away pro-life chalkings at the school that were written by Fresno State Students for Life.


This comes on the 1-year anniversary of Fresno State professor Greg Thatcher ordering his students to students to destroy similar chalkings on campus. As a result of a lawsuit by the Alliance Defending Freedom and Students for Life, Thatcher was ordered to pay damages to several students involved as well as undergo First Amendment training with ADF.

Bernadette Tasy, one of the plaintiffs in the original lawsuit and the president of Fresno State Students for Life said, "When will students at Fresno State learn that we have just the same free-speech rights as everyone else? Professor Thatcher underwent free-speech training; maybe the whole school should. There should be respect for differing points of view on campus, and if students oppose us they are free to chalk their own messages on the ground, but they should not destroy ours."

Censoring a pro-life message about second chances

A pro-life organization is calling out YouTube for censoring its content.

YouTube reportedly suspended Abortion Pill Reversal's account citing its policy on "harmful or dangerous content," explaining that it "doesn't allow content that encourages or promotes violent or dangerous acts that have an inherent risk of serious physical harm or death."

Examples of videos that violate this policy are videos about "instructional bomb making, choking games, hard drug use, or other acts where serious injury may result."

Mallory Quigley of the Susan B. Anthony List says there was nothing graphic or objectionable in the content from Abortion Pill Reversal.

Guess who aims to control abortion debate in Senate

President Trump has expressed his intent to sign pro-life legislation such as a bill to ban abortions at 20 weeks, the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act.

The legislation passed in the House but failed to obtain the 60 votes necessary in the Senate to even debate the measure.

Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the Susan B. Anthony List, points out there are three branches of the federal government and one of them failed to act.

"The president would have signed that five-month pain capable bill if the Senate had been able to send it to him," she says. "He asked for it. He spoke to that very eloquently. But if the Senate can't pass the bill and have the Congress send him that bill, he simply can't sign it."

Under the present system, a mere two or three senators can effectively prevent the full Senate from advancing a pro-life bill to the floor for a vote.

153 Members Call for New Title X Regulations - Take Abortion Out of Family Planning Programs

U.S. Representatives Chris Smith (R-NJ-04), Diane Black (R-TN-06), Ron Estes (R-KS-04), and Vicky Hartzler (R-MO-04) joined 149 of their colleagues in sending a letter to Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Alex Azar requesting that the department move swiftly to issue new regulations for the Title X Family Planning Program.

National Right to Life has also asked HHS to issue new Title X regulations consistent with those issued during the presidency of Ronald Reagan.

Citing the troubling ways existing Title X regulations have blurred the line between abortion and family planning, the letter calls for revised regulations that will require the federally-funded Title X service sites to be physically and financially separate from facilities that provide abortion, and to eliminate the federal mandate requiring Title X providers to refer for abortions.

Killing unborn children not a human right, says State Department

In presenting the annual U.S. report on global human rights, Ambassador Michael Kozak told reporters that abortion is not a human right and therefore "reproductive rights" was no longer included in the report.

"Reproductive rights" was a rather recent addition to the report, included by the Obama administration that, Kozak claims, never intended the term to include abortion. He said it only acquired that meaning in recent years through its use by partisans on both sides of the abortion debate. If this were true, the question arises as to why the term abortion is used under the "reproductive rights" section in the 2013 report on Ireland. Pro-lifers would point out that at least in general usage, the term has always included abortion. Kozak did correctly describe abortion as a largely unsettled question of national policy around the world.

CPD Superintendent Eddie Johnson told WTTW, “Once you know about the safe haven law, talk about it. You might just save a life, and as we know, there’s nothing more precious than the gift of life.” CFD Commissioner Jose Santiago likewise stated, “If there is any parent who is feeling the weight of the world on their shoulders, the Chicago Fire Department will be here when you need us, and no baby will ever be turned away.” Officers got the opportunity to meet with children who were saved because of the state’s Safe Haven Law.

Alfie Evans, dies early Saturday morning

Alfie Evans, whose “Alfie’s Army” enlisted recruits from all over the world, died early Saturday morning, five days after being taken off his ventilator by Alder Hey Children’s Hospital which refused to allow his parents to take him to Italy for further examination and possible treatment.

The hospital also managed to drag out negotiations with his father, Thomas Evans, so there was no opportunity for the grievously ill 23-month-old toddler to die at home with Mr. Evans and Kate James, Alfie’s mother.

Alfie’s death was announced on the Facebook page of Alfie’s Army and on Mr. Evans personal Facebook page.

My gladiator lay down his shield and gained his wings at 02:30 -- absolutely heartbroken -- I LOVE YOU MY GUY

There were emotional scenes as Alfie Evans supporters released hundreds of balloons into the sky in memory of the “warrior” toddler.

Goal of abortion extremists is to force Americans to embrace abortion as mainstream health care and to pay for it

To those who see abortion for what it is—an abortionist purposefully and brutally killing an innocent, defenseless human life in her or his mother’s womb, —advocating for its legality (even as a constitutional “right”) is nothing less than extremism.

So, it seems hard to imagine an even greater level of extremism being advanced by the abortion industry and its adherents in elected office, the media, and elsewhere. But the evidence is clear and plentiful.

For starters, the abortion industry has been shifting its euphemistic mantras from “freedom of choice” and “if you don’t like abortion, then don’t have one” to “abortion is health care.” This rhetorical shift is necessary for its pursuit of a more extreme policy agenda to force Americans to embrace abortion as mainstream health care and to pay for it.

This agenda includes forcing health care providers and institutions to provide, participate in, or refer for abortion—and to force all Americans to pay for abortions through their health care plans. Tragically, we can already see this agenda becoming reality.

Alfie Evans’ parents give ‘final interview,’ asks for privacy

Reportedly after spending the afternoon in talks with Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in Liverpool, an exhausted Tom Evans made what The Mirror described as a “dramatic u-turn,” calling on “Alfie’s Army” to “return back to your everyday lives ”and praising the hospital staff “for their dignity and professionalism during what must be an incredibly difficult time for them too.”

In a letter, Tom Evans and Kate James, Alfie’s mother, wrote

Together we recognise the strains recent events have put upon us all, and we now wish for privacy for everyone concerned.

In Alfie’s interests we will work with his treating team on a plan that provides our boy with the dignity and comfort he needs.

From this point onwards there will be no more statements issued, or interviews given.

The hospital took Alfie off of his ventilator Monday, a little after 9;00pm, London time. As this post is being written, Alfie has breathed on his own for over three days. Left unsaid in any of the coverage is that reportedly Alfie has received no nutrition, only water, since his ventilator was disconnected.

Pelosi: We’ll use pro-life Democrats to build pro-abortion majority

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (pictured) once again waded into her party’s civil war over abortion litmus tests, this time arguing that acceptance of pro-life Democrats ultimately serves pro-abortion interests.

Pelosi referenced her endorsement of Rep. Dan Lipinski of Illinois, a pro-life Democrat who warded off pro-abortion primary challenger Marie Newman in March. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee refused to endorse Lipinski.  Some pro-life figures and groups like the Susan B. Anthony List supported Lipinski as a “pro-life hero,” but Pelosi suggested that Lipinski’s victory would ultimately help a pro-abortion majority retake the U.S. House of Representatives.

VIDEO: Alfie Evans’ father: ‘Look at this smile! We’re asking to go home.’

The parents of Alfie Evans will today meet with doctors of Alder Hey hospital and they are asking to take their child home.

"Some people are saying it’s a miracle. It’s not a miracle. It’s a misdiagnosis. There’s no miracle about this. I’ve had a feeling about Alfie’s condition for a long time now … he’s been off the ventilator for three and there’s been no deterioration. He hasn’t awoken, he’s still a little bit weak, but what we ask for is to go home to sustain his life because there have been no neurological assessments here. There’s been no immediate care for him. It’s just nurses sitting outside the room and leaving us in the room to do what we do. What we do now, we can do at home,” Tom Evans said.

Alfie Evans forced to remain in UK hospital, judge rules against separate appeals from both parents

At a hearing held today at 2:15 p.m. at the London Court of Appeal, Lord Justice Andrew Mcfarlane, Lord Justice Peter Coulson and Lady Justice Eleanor King rejected an appeal to allow Alfie Evan’s parents to take him to Italy, upholding Justice Anthony Hayden’s earlier ruling not to allow the child’s parents to seek care abroad.

According to SkyNews reporter, Dan Whitehead, who was in the courtroom, the lawyer representing Thomas Evans, Paul Diamond of the Christian Legal Centre, told the court an Italian military air ambulance was on standby at the request of Pope Francis. In response, Lord Justice McFarlane said that authorities in Italy and the Vatican have “no jurisdiction” over decisions about Alfie. He described Thomas Evans’ religious views “plain, brave, unflinching and unstinting.”

It is still unknown if Alfie will be allowed to go home.

The heartbreaking consequences of abortion in China and India

China and India are notorious for their cultural preference for boys. Because of this, abortion has become a valuable tool to help commit gendercide. In China, a One-Child Policy led millions upon millions of baby girls to be aborted, and caused horrific human rights abuses. In India, a baby is aborted every two seconds, many of them girls.

Now, the results are being keenly felt. In China and India, men now outnumber women by 70 million.
