FBI Arrests Another Pro-Life Activist at Tennessee Home

At 7:20 AM on Wednesday, October 5, Pro-Life activist Paul Vaughn was arrested in front of his children at his Tennessee home by FBI agents with guns drawn. Vaughn is the president of Personhood Tennessee.

According to a press release by the Biden Department of Justice, Vaughn and 10 other pro-life activists were charged with "conspiracy against rights secured by the FACE [Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances] Act, and committing FACE Act violations." The pro-lifers who were charged include Eva Edl, an 87-year-old German woman who survived a concentration camp during World War II.

The Department of Justice is pressing charges against this group over a sit-in held by pro-life activists in March of 2021. In an interview shortly after the event, Vaughn told WZTV, “It was like church service in there, people sitting in the floor in the hallway, people singing hymns, reading scripture, praying," Vaughn said. “The purpose is to try to save babies today and most importantly be obedient to Christ.”

After they were arrested following their civil disobedience, the activists were charged with trespassing. This new action by the Department of Justice comes over a year and a half later.

Vaughn's wife told Townhall that the FBI agents who arrested Paul did not produce a warrant or tell her where they were taking Paul. He was taken to a federal holding facility, and he was brought before a judge to receive charges. Then he was released 60 miles away from home with no wallet or cell phone.

“For over six hours, no one knew where I was and why I was kidnapped from my home at gunpoint,” Paul told Townhall. “It took a good attorney six hours to be able to break through the bureaucracy and find the people who know what was going on.”

Ohio Judge Indefinitely Extends Injunction Against Six-Week Abortion Protections

On Oct. 7, Hamilton County Judge Christian Jenkins in Ohio issued a ruling to block Ohio's six-week abortion law from taking effect indefinitely.

Previously, Jenkins blocked the law on a temporary basis. The law would protect unborn children with detectable heartbeats from abortion. When making his ruling, Jenkins stated, “Abortion is safe health care to which Ohioans have a right.” Abortion, of course, does not heal a woman of an injury or ailment, has medical risks, and aims to kill an unborn child. Describing abortion as "safe" or "health care" is disingenuous. 

“We are thrilled with this second major victory and relieved that patients in Ohio can continue to access abortion as we work to fight this unjust and dangerous ban in court,” a joint statement from the ACLU and abortion businesses celebrated. “The preliminary injunction will be in place for the duration of our case, which means abortions will be legal in Ohio for a period much, much longer than the temporary restraining order granted. This court ruling will provide significant relief to Ohio patients and clinics.”

Ohio Right to Life President Michael Gonidakis said that his group was "saddened but not surprised" by the decision. “The abortion clinics literally forum shopped to get the outcome they wanted,” he said. This is a moment in time for the pro-life movement and we are convinced that the Ohio Supreme Court will overturn this ruling. Nowhere in Ohio’s Constitution does a right to an abortion exist.”

Biden Administration Determines Planned Parenthood was Eligible for COVID Relief Loans

The Small Business Administration's (SBA) Office of Inspector General (OIG) said last week that Planned Parenthood affiliates were in fact eligible for the $80 million in COVID relief loans they received.

Under President Trump, the SBA said that affiliates of organizations with over 500 employees were not eligible for loans through the Paycheck Protection Program. Planned Parenthood Federation of America had over 600 employees at the time, but affiliates collectively received $80 million in loans.

In its investigation, the OIG justified the loans by saying regional organizations did not classify as affiliates.

“To assess affiliation, we reviewed documents such as bylaws, member agreements, articles of incorporation, tax documents, and membership requirements to determine if control or the potential for control existed,” the OIG wrote. “We looked for any instances of control through voting, management of other member organizations, or business interests of close relatives. We found that the national organizations did not have unique management agreements with member organizations, which could indicate control.”

National Right to Life told Live Action News, “Those funds were used to prop up Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider with over $1 billion in assets. The Paycheck Protection Program was designed to protect small businesses — not the nation’s largest abortion provider with over 16,000 employees.”

Planned Parenthood of Illinois received $3.8 million in PPP loans.

Arizona Court of Appeals Reinstates Injunction Blocking Pro-Life Law

On October 7, a three-judge panel from the Arizona Court of Appeals ruled to reinstate the 1973 injunction blocking the state's 1901 abortion ban. The injunction was previously lifted in September by Pima County Superior Court Judge Kellie Johnson because it was based on the now-defunct Roe v. Wade decision.

The ruling was made because Arizona legislators passed a 15-week abortion ban that took effect on September 24. That law was written and passed under the assumption that Roe v. Wade restrictions would still apply, but Roe v. Wade was overturned after the law was passed.

Planned Parenthood argued that the courts needed to reconcile the 1901 law with all other abortion regulations passed since then—including the new 15-week ban. While Johnson said that she did not have to rule on any other laws to end the injunction, the appeals court disagreed.

“Arizona courts have a responsibility to attempt to harmonize all of this state’s relevant statutes,” Presiding Judge Peter J Eckerstrom wrote. He said that Planned Parenthood “had shown they are likely to prevail on an appeal of a decision by the judge in Tucson to allow enforcement of the old law.”

The ruling allows abortion to resume in Arizona if it conforms with the state's new 15-week abortion ban.

Aurora Planned Parenthood Patient Hospitalized After Seizure

Photo credit: Operation Rescue

On Saturday, September 24, a patient at the Planned Parenthood clinic in Aurora IL was hospitalized following seizures. Operation Rescue obtained 911 records documenting the incident.

A Planned Parenthood employee called 911 at around 11:30 am to request an ambulance. The patient suffered from a seizure in the clinic's restroom. The employee did not know the patient's age. The pro-life onlooker who reported the incident to Operation Rescue said that the ambulance stayed on-site for 15 minutes after loading the patient.

Further information about the kind of "services" the patient received at the Aurora Planned Parenthood is unavailable.

An audio recording of the 911 call can be heard here.

Biden Calls for Voters to Elect Pro-Abortion Legislators to "Codify Roe"

photo credit: Gage Skidmore

On Oct. 4, President Biden held the second meeting for the White House Task Force on Reproductive Healthcare Access. Biden reiterated that "codifying Roe" is one of his top priorities and emphasized that his party might be able to do so if it wins seats in the Senate this November.

According to Biden, the US Supreme Court “got Roe right 50 years ago, and the Congress should codify the protections of Roe and do it once and for all,” Biden added. “But right now, we’re short a handful of votes. The only way it’s going to happen is if the American people make it happen.”

The bill in congress that pro-abortion politicians claim would "codify Roe" is the Women's Health Protection Act. As written, the bill would go much farther than the standard established in the now-defunct decision. The law would legalize abortion at all stages of development and prevent states from enforcing most (if not all) pro-life protections. Even pro-life laws that were upheld by the Supreme Court during the 49-year reign of Roe v. Wade would be rendered unenforceable.

According to a report from the Heritage Foundation, the bill would prevent states from enforcing laws that:

• restrict discriminatory abortions based on race, sex, or genetic abnormality
• ban post-viability abortions
• introduce safety requirements for abortions
• restrict taxpayer funding of abortion
• create informed consent requirements 
• protect the conscience rights of healthcare workers

Planned Parenthood Opening "RV Clinic" on Southern Illinois Border

On Monday, Planned Parenthood announced its plan to open a "mobile clinic" in an RV near the Missouri and Kentucky borders.

After Roe v. Wade was overturned by the US Supreme Court in June, the power to decide the legality of abortion fell to states and the democratic process. As a result, pro-life laws ban most abortions in Missouri and Kentucky. Unfortunately, Illinois has become a prime abortion destination for women throughout the midwest. Abortion businesses throughout the country have taken notice, and they are popping up near state borders frequently.

Planned Parenthood's "mobile clinic" will be set up inside a retrofitted RV with a lab, a waiting area, and two exam rooms. To start, the Planned Parenthood RV will offer chemical abortions (the abortion pill) up to 11 weeks gestation. Planned Parenthood hopes to offer surgical abortions in the RV by the first quarter of next year.

A Planned Parenthood spokesperson told Axios that the RV will start seeing patients at the end of October or early November.

Biden Department of Veterans Affairs Commits First Abortion

VA Secretary Denis McDonough

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has officially committed its first abortion under a new rule created by the Biden administration.

During testimony before the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville asked VA Secretary Denis McDonough how many abortions have taken place at VA facilities. McDonough admitted that one abortion has been committed since the policy took effect on Sept. 9.

The Biden administration's rule allows VA clinics to commit abortions for pregnant veterans and eligible dependents in cases of rape, incest, or if the health of the mother is threatened. The administration even argues that the VA can commit these abortions in states where abortion is illegal.

“States may not impose criminal or civil liability on VA employees—including doctors, nurses, and administrative staff—who provide or facilitate abortions or related services in a manner authorized by federal law, including VA’s rule,” a statement from the Department of Justice reads. “The Supremacy Clause bars state officials from penalizing VA employees for performing their federal functions, whether through criminal prosecution, license revocation proceedings, or civil litigation.”

Rep. Mike Bost (R-IL) is the Ranking Member of the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs. He notes that the Veterans Health Care Act of 1992 prohibits the VA from committing abortions. To this point, he demanded that McDonough provide answers to legal questions and challenged the new policy's legality. Bost's full letter to Secretary McDonough can be read here.

“The Biden Administration is violating the will of the American people who don’t want their tax dollars used to pay for abortion at VA,” Bost said in a statement. “VA is also clearly violating the law, which has prohibited abortion at VA for 30 years. By using unelected bureaucrats to make policy decisions better left to duly elected representatives, VA is undercutting our constitutional process and the sanctity of life at the same time. This executive overreach is frighteningly common under President Biden. It is illegal, wrong, and must stop.”

Michigan Man Charged for Shooting Pro-Life Volunteer

Following an investigation, Michigan authorities have charged Richard Harvey, the man who shot 84-year-old Joan Jacobson who was going door-to-door asking voters to oppose a ballot proposal that would legalize abortion in the state.

According to a phone interview Jacobson had last week with the Daily Signal, Jacobson visited the Harvey household by herself while canvassing in opposition to Michigan Proposal 3. If successful, the proposal would legalize abortion in the state. Sharon Harvey, Richard's wife, answered the door. Sharon is an abortion supporter, and the two women argued.

Jacobson told the Daily Signal that Sharon refused to listen and told Jacobson to leave the property. Jacobson said that Sharon followed Jacobson down the porch and continued to yell as Jacobson left. At this point, Jacobson turned and told Sharon to stop following her, and Richard Harvey emerged carrying a rifle.

“When that registered in my mind, I heard a shot, I felt some pain, and I thought he had hit me in the back,” Jacobson said. She told the Daily Signal that she later learned the bullet went through her shoulder and out her back, narrowly missing her spine.

Richard claims that he fired a warning shot at a tree, after which Jacobson waved a clipboard. He said he interpreted this as a motion to strike his wife, and he waved the loaded gun toward Jacobson in an attempt to knock the clipboard out of her hand. Richard claims that he accidentally fired a shot in this process. Jacobson disagrees with this account and believes the shot was purposeful.

“I do think that he knew what he was doing,” she said. “I think it was intentional.” She said that she was not waving her clipboard, and she said that she did not yell except to tell Sharon to stop following her.

After the shot, Jacobson said that the Harveys did not express concern or offer assistance, even though Sharon reportedly was holding her phone. Fearing another shot, Jacobson fled to her car. She drove herself to a police station. From there, she was brought to an emergency room.

On Sept 30, Michigan charged Richard with one count each of felonious assault, careless discharge of a gun causing injury, and reckless use of a firearm. The felonious assault charge, the most significant of the three, can carry a four-year prison sentence. Harvey's bail was set at $10,000.

Pro-Life Michigander Shot While Handing Out Pamphlets Opposing Abortion Rights Amendment

An 84-year-old pro-life volunteer (some reports say 83) was shot in Lake Odessa Michigan while handing out pamphlets. The woman was going door-to-door to speak with voters about Michigan's Proposal 3, a ballot item that would create a right to abortion in Michigan's constitution.

The pro-life volunteer got into a heated conversation with a pro-abortion woman at one of the homes she visited. Right to Life Michigan (RLM) told ABC13, “One of the ladies that lived at the house got upset and started screaming at her. This volunteer walked away, was walking back to her car, and a man from the house came out and shot her in the back.” Visser told ABC13 that the victim did not threaten the homeowner, and she was unarmed.

After being shot, the victim drove herself to the Lake Odessa Police Department. From there, she was taken to a hospital to receive treatment.

Chris Gast, the education coordinator for RLM, told CNA that the volunteer “is at home recovering and in good spirits. She should be OK.”

Michigan State Police are investigating the shooting. When the investigation concludes, detectives will report to the Ionia County Prosecuting Attorney's Office. The county prosecutor will then decide whether to issue charges.

Prolife Action helped Operation Rescue obtain 911 records for yet another emergency at Family Planning Associates Medical Group on Washington Blvd in Chicago.

This event took place on May 14. Emergency medical personnel arrived at 3 pm.

Click here to listen to a recording of the 911 call.

The employee who called 911 told a dispatcher “She is syncopal and having shortness of breath. Her hemoglobin is four.” A syncopal patient is falling in and out of consciousness. The dangerously low hemoglobin level signifies that red blood cells are not sufficiently transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide between the tissues and lungs. The employee also told the dispatcher that the patient could only walk with assistance.

Operation Rescue has documented 16 emergencies at this clinic since 2018. The pro-life group's full list of documented malpractice claims, serious injuries, and deaths can be found at Abortiondocs.org.

Pennsylvania Pro-Life Catholic Pleads Not Guilty After Controversial FBI Arrest

On the morning of Sept 23, over a dozen FBI agents with guns drawn arrived at Catholic pro-life advocate Mark Houck's home in Pennsylvania. The agents arrested Mark in front of his wife and seven children, and the Department of Justice (DOJ) charged him with two violations of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act.

Mark pleaded not guilty on Tuesday to charges levied by the DOJ, and his attorneys decried the Biden administration's method of executing a warrant.

Mark is 48 years old and is the co-founder of a ministry called The King's Men, a Catholic ministry aimed at mentoring young men.

The charges reference an altercation Mark had with a Planned Parenthood clinic escort on Oct. 13, 2021. Mark's wife, Ryan-Marie, told LifeSiteNews that Mark drives to Philadelphia every Wednesday to volunteer as a sidewalk counselor. On some of these trips, Mark would bring his 12-year-old son with him.

Ryan-Marie said that the 72-year-old escort would repeatedly approach Mark's son and say "crude... inappropriate and disgusting things," such as "you're dad's a fag," and other vulgar statements. Mark told the escort that he did not have permission to speak with Mark's son, but the escort would not relent. The escort kept coming into the son's personal space and shouting obscenities.

Eventually, Mark interposed himself between the escort and his son. As Mark shoved the escort away, the man fell back. DOJ prosecutors allege that Mark shoved the escort to the ground two times during this altercation, which is why it charged Mark with two violations of the FACE Act.

The FACE Act creates criminal penalties for obstructing access to abortion businesses through violence, physical obstruction, or threats. The law also creates penalties for acts of violence targeting abortion businesses, pregnancy centers, or their employees because of the services they provide.

The Thomas More Society, which announced Monday that it will represent Mark in court, argues that Mark's actions don't violate the FACE Act. Mark's actions did not target the escort due to his affiliation to the abortion clinic. They were in defense of Mark's son. Additionally, Thomas More Society attorneys won a case in June of 2019 establishing that one-off altercations cannot form the basis for FACE Act violations.

Brian Middleton, a spokesperson for the family, told CNA that both the city police and the district attorney declined to file charges after the incident occurred last year. The escort filed a private criminal complaint in Philadelphia municipal court, but the case was dismissed in July after the escort repeatedly failed to appear in court.

Peter Breen, Mark's attorney, criticized the Biden administration for the way that it handled charges. Breen told Fox News on Tuesday that his team contacted the DOJ and the US Attorney's Office back in June to inform them they had no case based on controlling precedent. Breen's team told the DOJ that if the DOJ decided to indict, Mark would willingly respond to summons. Rather than send a court summons, however, the Biden administration made a show of force.

"This is a political prosecution," Breen told Fox News. "And what’s clear from the Department of Justice at its highest levels, which is directing this case, [is] that they are trying to send a message to pro-life and people of faith: ‘Don’t mess with us.’ They want to intimidate — they want to cause good people like Mark to stop praying and counseling at the abortion clinics of our country. And that’s not going to happen."

If convicted, Mark could face up to 11 years in prison, three years of supervised release, and a fine of up to $350,000. As of Tuesday evening, a GiveSendGo fundraiser raised over $284,000 to help the Houck family with expenses.

20-Year-Old Suicidal Woman Transported to ER after Chicago Abortion

911 records obtained by Operation Rescue show that a 20-year-old woman experiencing suicidal thoughts was rushed to the emergency room immediately after having an abortion at Family Planning Associates Medical Group in Chicago on April 6, 2022.

An employee of the abortion clinic called 911 and told a dispatcher that the woman was "having a mental health crisis," was threatening suicide," and was actually "trying to harm herself."

A redacted recording of the call can be heard here.

While women are often motivated to pursue abortion for financial and career-related reasons (reasons that pregnancy resource centers are willing to help mothers overcome), many women experience regret, depression, and suicidal thoughts after having abortions.

In 2019, the Charlotte Lozier Institute compiled information from three studies showing increased suicide rates for women who had abortions. Each study showed that women who had abortions within the last year commit suicide at significantly increased rates. The Charlotte Lozier Institute's report can be accessed here.

Arizona Judge Lifts 1973 Injunction Against State Abortion Ban

Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich (R)

On Sept 24, an Arizona Judge lifted a 1973 injunction that blocked the state from enforcing its 1901 abortion law. Under the now-restored law, abortion is only legal when "it is necessary to save" the mother's life.

Prima County Superior Court Judge Kellie Johnson ruled that the 50-year-old injunction blocking the law's enforcement "no longer has any prospective application" after the repeal of Roe v. Wade.

Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich, who asked the court to vacate the old injunction, praised Johnson's decision:

“We applaud the court for upholding the will of the legislature and providing clarity and uniformity on this important issue. I have and will continue to protect the most vulnerable Arizonans,” he wrote on Twitter.

Planned Parenthood argued that Johnson's ruling needed to reconcile the 1901 law with Arizona's new law that will ban abortion only after 15 weeks gestation. Johnson disagreed, stating that her only role was to decide on the 1973 injunction, not to reconcile laws passed since then.

Arizona's 15-week abortion ban was set to take effect on Sept 24. While it is assumed by most that the 1901 law is in effect, further court rulings are expected to determine which law should take precedence.

UN Resolution Declares Abortion is a "Human Right"

On Sept 2, the United Nations adopted a resolution stating that abortion is a human right.

The "International cooperation for access to justice, remedies and assistance for survivors of sexual violence," condemns "all forms of sexual and gender-based violence" and urges countries "to provide victims and survivors access to justice, reparations and assistance."

80 member countries, including the US and many members of the EU, co-sponsored language defining abortion as a human right. 33 nations, many of which are African, opposed the resolution.

“Each country should decide its abortion laws at the national level without external interference,” said a Nigerian delegate during a debate. “Countries should help women avoid abortion and provide mothers and their children with health-care and social support.” Nigeria went on to argue that defining abortion as a human right "creates the danger that women will be pressured to abort their babies."

Nigeria proposed several amendments to change the resolution, but they did not gain enough support to pass.

UN resolutions are nonbinding for member nations, but there is still reason for pro-lifers to be concerned. C-Fam vice president for legal studies Stefano Gennarini told CNA that resolutions are binding “both in terms of the programs and norms the U.N. system promotes globally.” He also expressed concern that activist judges in domestic and international courts might use the resolution as evidence for a human right to abortion.

Chicago Approves Abortion Sanctuary City Ordinance

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D)

On Sept 21, the Chicago City Council approved the “Bodily Autonomy Sanctuary City Ordinance,” preventing Chicago city employees from cooperating with other states with investigations involving laws against abortion or "gender-affirming care."

This ordinance protects abortionists who flee to Chicago after committing an illegal abortion in another state. Chicago employees are barred from “provid[ing] information related to, or in furtherance of, any investigation or proceeding initiated in or by another state or jurisdiction that seeks to impose civil or criminal liability or professional sanctions upon a person for the provision or receipt of, or any inquiry concerning, reproductive health care or gender-affirming care that is legal in the State of Illinois.”

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot signed an executive order to the same effect earlier this year, but now the city council has a written ordinance on the books that will continue the policy until it is amended or repealed.

Pro-Life Representatives Introduce Legislation to Protect Pregnancy Centers from Pro-Abortion Extremists

On Sept 20, Reps. Chris Smith (R-NJ) and Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) introduced the Protect Pregnancy Care Centers Act of 2022. The bill is a response to almost 70 acts of violence toward pregnancy centers since the Dobbs decision at the end of June.

The Biden administration has not indicated any progress in its investigation and prosecution of pro-abortion extremists since the wave of attacks began.

This legislation would require the Biden administration to let the public know how it is handling its investigation and prosecution of pro-abortion extremists who attack pro-life pregnancy centers. Additionally, the bill would require the administration to report on how pregnancy centers can receive funding for security measures. It provides recommendations for additional grants for security purposes.

“Pregnancy care centers across the country have suffered a surge of violent attacks, firebombing and vandalism by pro-abortion activists in a coordinated effort to intimidate front-line volunteers and licensed medical professionals providing critical support to mothers in need and their unborn baby boys and girls,” said Smith.

“The violent attacks on pregnancy centers in Washington state and across the country are reprehensible and only endanger and intimidate the women who depend on them for critical medical care, education, and other resources,” said Rodgers. “I believe all extreme and hateful acts of violence should be condemned, which is why I’m helping lead this legislation to hold President Biden accountable for his failure to respond to this threat with the urgency it deserves.”

According to a study from the Charlotte Lozier Institute, pregnancy centers have saved the lives of over 828,130 babies and have provided (generally free) services to almost 2,000,000 mothers.

New Mexico Gov. Signs Order Designating $10 Million to Build a State-Funded Abortion Facility

New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D)

On August 31, New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham signed an executive order designating $10 million for the construction of a state-funded abortion facility on the Texas border.

“As more states move to restrict and prohibit access to reproductive care, New Mexico will continue to not only protect access to abortion, but to expand and strengthen reproductive health care throughout the state,” said Gov. Lujan Grisham. “Today, I reaffirm my resolve to make sure that women and families in New Mexico – and beyond – are supported at every step of the way.”

The funding would come from the governor's discretionary spending from appropriations voted on by legislators in New Mexico's 2023 legislative session. That session will open on January 17; after the November midterm elections.

Pro-lifers in Texas and New Mexico say that the facility would likely be using New Mexico tax dollars to fund abortions for Texans trying to get around Texas's Heartbeat Act.

New Mexico State Sen. David Gallegos expressed similar frustrations. “You know we have veterans’ needs; we have homeless needs; we have mental health needs in this area in our state. But if you want to put something somewhere and you say you care, then why not put this toward the pregnancy centers and the maternity homes?” He later added, “...it's for Texas residents. We aren’t Texas, and why are our tax monies funding something that they want?”

Driver who Attempted to Run Over Pro-Life Advocates Accepts Unique Plea Deal

Hope Beyond Abortion advocating for women and their
unborn children outside an abortion business

A disgruntled pro-abortion driver attempted to run down pro-life advocates from Hope Beyond Abortion outside an abortion business in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee on April 27, 2022. After she was arrested, the woman faced four felony counts of aggravated assault. Due to an unusual plea deal offered by Hope Beyond Abortion, the driver will not face jail time.

Bo Linam, the founder of Hope Beyond Abortion, spoke with Live Action News about the case. When the Assistant District Attorney asked the pro-life group how they felt about possible sentences, Bo wanted to do something different. “I told [the Assistant DA], ‘I don’t think ruining this girl’s life is the right call. That’s not gonna change her heart.’”

After praying, Linam asked the Assistant DA if the woman could instead choose to help Hope Beyond Abortion with three upcoming baby showers for children who were saved from abortion. The Assistant DA liked the idea, and all parties agreed.

The first of the three baby showers will be held on October 8th.
