Life Issues

A new report shows Planned Parenthood gave Democrat attorneys general a roadmap for targeting pro-lifers after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. The 2022 memo urged state officials to attack crisis pregnancy centers, accuse them of spreading “misinformation,” use consumer alerts, pursue legal action, and even involve state laws designed to protect abortion facilities. 

According to documents obtained by The Daily Signal, several Democrat attorneys general subsequently took actions that closely matched Planned Parenthood’s recommendations. California sued pregnancy centers. New Jersey issued alerts and subpoenaed a pro-life center for donor information. Other states created abortion task forces and issued abortion-friendly legal guidance.  

Are government officials supposed to be carrying out the agenda of the abortion industry or are they supposed to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?

An Instagram post recently went viral, portraying the abortion of an unborn child as a cheerful “cancellation” announcement. The AI-generated graphic featured baby shoes, alphabet blocks spelling “BABY,” and an ultrasound image, with the message, “Baby Cancelled.” It received more than 121,000 likes and 8,400 comments, with many people celebrating the supposed abortion. 

But there was a twist: the woman who posted it later admitted the entire thing was fabricated and said she was paid to “troll.” No baby had actually been aborted. Still, the reaction reveals something deeply disturbing about our culture. The willingness of thousands of people to celebrate the supposed cancellation of a baby shows how easily abortion can be presented as something trivial, funny, or empowering rather than the ending of an innocent human life.

America has an opportunity to lead the world in defending the dignity of every human life. 

The United States is once again taking the lead in the Geneva Consensus Declaration, an international coalition promoting a pro-life, pro-family approach to public health. It expressly affirms that “there is no international right to abortion, nor any international obligation on the part of States to finance or facilitate abortion.” 

That matters because international institutions have increasingly treated abortion as though it were a fundamental human right. America should offer the world a different example: that protecting mothers and their unborn children, strengthening families, and defending human dignity are not obstacles to human flourishing. The United States should lead by example and stand unapologetically for life.

An estimated 66 million unborn children have been killed by abortion in America since Roe v. Wade. On September 12, pro-life Americans will gather across the country for the National Day of Remembrance for Aborted Children, holding prayer vigils and remembering those whose lives were taken. 

That remembrance matters because these children are more than a statistic. Each one was a unique human being, with a mother and father, a distinct DNA, and an entire life ahead of them. 

We rightly remember victims of violence because their lives mattered. We should remember abortion’s victims for the same reason. 

And this isn’t just about mourning the past. It’s about changing the future. We must remember these children, support women and families, and continue working toward a day when every child is protected by law and welcomed in life.

Here’s a disturbing legal contradiction in New Hampshire. William Kelly was sentenced to 80 years in prison after being convicted of murdering his girlfriend and her unborn child. The baby was between 35 and 37 weeks old. Under New Hampshire law, that unborn child was legally recognized as a victim of murder. 

And that raises an obvious question: if an unborn child is a victim when someone else kills him or her, why is that same child not a victim when the mother chooses an abortion? 

New Hampshire’s law actually makes this contradiction explicit. It recognizes the unborn child as a victim of homicide, while specifically exempting abortion from that protection.

More than 140 doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals in Yorkshire are warning that Britain’s proposed assisted suicide legislation is unsafe. 

 These medical professionals say the NHS is already under immense pressure, while access to palliative and social care remains deeply unequal—especially for rural patients, people with dementia, and vulnerable communities.  

Their message is simple: before offering assisted death, Britain must ensure every patient has access to compassionate, high-quality end-of-life care. 

These assisted suicide programs have a proven track record of expansion and abuse. Around the world many people have been ushered to an early grave because of so-called assisted suicide laws. People deserve care, not death.

The fight surrounding Missouri’s Amendment 3 is heating up as out of state billionaire, and pro-abortion advocate, Michael Bloomberg gave $1.25 million to the “Stop the Ban” campaign.  

Missouri was the first state in the country to enact their trigger laws protecting unborn babies in the wake of the Dobbs decision. It was not long after that out of state money poured in and put abortion in the state’s constitution marking a significant victory for the abortion lobby, flipping Missouri from pro-life to pro-abortion in the law.  

Now, the voters have a chance to once again flip Missouri back into the pro-life column by establishing pro-life protections in the state constitution, and the abortion lobby is fighting tooth and nail to stop it. If Missourians can rally and protect unborn babies in the constitution, it will be a tremendous blow to the abortion industry.

Operation Rescue has investigated 24 separate abortion emergencies at facilities in Colorado since January of 2025. According to their reporting, a staggering thirteen of these emergencies all took place at the same Planned Parenthood in Fort Collins.  

Some women were rushed to the emergency room via ambulance and were able to be treated for their injuries. Other women, like 18-year-old Lexi Arguello, died as a result of the abortion complications.  

These deaths and injuries to mothers come in addition to the murder of many more innocent children in the womb. Despite the death and destruction, the state of Colorado maintains their radical pro-abortion laws and refuses to investigate the situation.

A new report from the pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute confirms that many women are traveling across state lines or obtaining abortion pills through telehealth to bypass pro-life laws. Some commentators claim this proves pro-life legislation doesn't work. But that's not what the broader evidence shows. Research on birth data continues to indicate that laws protecting unborn children are saving thousands of lives, even as abortion advocates search for ways around them. 

The answer isn't to abandon pro-life laws—it's to significantly strengthen and expand them. That means banning mail-order abortion pills, enforcing existing laws, and continuing to support life.

Abdul Mboob agreed to a plea deal and was sentenced to 34 years in prison for the murder of his pregnant wife, Anastasia Paul. Court records show that Abdul called police and told them that he had strangled her.  

He was charged with murder, first-degree strangulation, tampering with physical evidence, and more. He eventually pleaded guilty to murder and risk of injury to a child. 

In this horrific case, the court recognized the unborn baby as a child. Despite his short prison sentence, Adbul took two lives that day. If, however, an abortionist was to have killed the unborn baby the abortion lobby would call that healthcare. 

Why is it murder when he does it, and healthcare when they do it?
