NY Legislature Seeks the Most Permissive Abortion Laws in U.S.

1/23/2019

 
Earlier this month, the Reproductive Health Act (RHA) was introduced in the New York state legislature.  This piece of legislation would make New York’s abortion laws among the most permissive in the country. It would legalize abortion in New York throughout all nine months of pregnancy. It would also repeal the current state laws that only allow licensed physicians to perform abortions. Furthermore, the bill also removes protections for accidental live births and disallows criminal changes for illegal abortions. This piece of legislation has the enthusiastic support of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and the plan is to have the state legislature vote on the bill on January 22nd – the 46th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision.
The fact that Democrats in the New York state legislature have chosen to make this bill their top legislative priority is evidence of both their pro-abortion extremism and their blind loyalty to Planned Parenthood.

21 Days of Prayer for Life

1/17/2019

 
This full-color booklet was co-written by John Stonestreet and top pro-life apologist Scott Klusendorf, and is co-sponsored by the top pro-life groups in America: Students for Life, Focus on the Family, Save the Storks, the March for Life, Life Training Institute, CareNet, and others.
The booklet will guide you through a three-week journey to pray for all of the victims of abortion: the unborn, expectant mothers and fathers in crisis, siblings, grandparents, and yes, even abortion clinic workers. It also includes prayers for pastors, as well as politicians and policy makers.
But there’s something else powerful about this prayer guide. Each day features beautiful stories of life: of the dad who chose life for his son with Down syndrome, of the sibling who found peace for the loss of her aborted sister and forgiveness for her mom, of the student who courageously stood for life in a hostile college classroom. These stories will inspire you to also pick up the mantle and stand for life.

You Can Make the Case for Life: Scott Klusendorf

1/17/2019

 
You’ve heard these pro-abortion arguments before: pro-lifers only care about unborn babies, not the ones who are born; if you don’t like abortion, don’t have one; what about rape and incest, it’s a woman’s right.
Do you know how to respond? Today on the BreakPoint Podcast, John Stonestreet and Scott Klusendorf of the Life Training Institute walk us through how to refute those arguments, one-by-one, effectively, winsomely, and convincingly.

38 Senators File Bill to Protect Babies Born Alive After Botched Abortions

1/16/2019

 
A Republican senator today introduced the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act — legislation protecting babies who survive abortions.
The bill would amend existing U.S. law to “prohibit a health care practitioner from failing to exercise the proper degree of care in the case of a child who survives an abortion or attempted abortion.”
Senator Ben Sasse, a Nebraska Republican, is behind the legislation and told LifeNews why the bill is needed. he is joined by 37 of his colleagues...

...Sasse’s bill, the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, would protect newborns that survive abortions by requiring appropriate care and admission to a hospital.
The legislation requires that, when an abortion results in the live birth of an infant, health care practitioners must exercise the same degree of professional skill and care to protect the newborn as would be offered to any other child born alive at the same gestational age. It also requires that the living child, after appropriate care has been given, be immediately transported and admitted to a hospital. Currently federal law does not adequately protect a born child who survives an abortion.

Only 7% of Millennials want taxpayer-funded abortion without restrictions

1/16/2019

 
The abortion industry is heavily invested in making people believe that most Americans support their extremist agenda, but polling has found time and time again that this couldn’t be further from the truth. The goal of the abortion industry is not just the legalization of abortion, but for it to be taxpayer funded, available on demand, at any time, with no restrictions. This is also the controversial abortion platform adopted by the Democratic National Committee. Unfortunately for abortion activists, very few people agree with this mindset — including Millennials.
A new poll was recently released by Students for Life which shows that only 7% of millennialssupport taxpayer funding of abortion, and abortion with no restrictions. The poll found that while a narrow majority supports abortion being legal, a whopping 70% want restrictions, with 28% supporting specific restrictions, such as parental notification laws and banning late-term abortion. By a 3-to-1 margin, Millennials prefer that taxpayer funding go to federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) instead of Planned Parenthood, and 56% of millennials oppose selling abortion pills online.

Democrats Use Bill to End Shutdown to Try to Restore Planned Parenthood Funding Trump Cut

1/5/2019

 
Democrats never miss a chance to promote abortion. And House Democrats, under incoming Speaker Nancy Pelosi, slipped language to fund the Planned Parenthood abortion business into their bill to end the partial government shutdown.
Democrats want to restore the $100 million President Donald Trump took away from Planned Parenthood when he defunded its International arm during his first week in office. The Trump policy prohibits taxpayer funding to international groups that promote and/or provide abortions overseas.
The House is set to vote tomorrow on the Democrats’ bill to fund the federal government. However, it’s unlikely the Senate will approve the measure and President Donald Trump will almost certainly veto it because it doesn’t contain the funding he wants for a border wall and security.
