(link to their site) Representative Steve Scalise (R-LA) filed a discharge petition on H.R. 962, the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. The Senate has voted on this bill, but Speaker Pelosi refuses to bring it to the House flooSpeaker Pelosir for a vote, even though House republicans have publicly asked almost thirty times. A discharge petition is a special tool that can be used to get a bill on the floor for a vote, even if the Speaker, who controls the bills that are voted on and the House floor schedule, does not want a vote. A discharge petition needs 218 signatures from representatives, a majority of the House. Members are now able to sign this petition demanding a vote to protect babies born alive after failed abortions. As of April 9, 2019, the following representatives HAVE signed the discharge petition to take up H.R. 962, the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act.

Chuck Konzelman, director and writer for the pro-life film ‘Unplanned,” which tells the pro-life conversion story of former Planned Parenthood director Abby Johnson, spoke at a Senate hearing hosted by Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) titled, “Stifling Free Speech: Technology Censorship and the Public Discourse.” Konzelman explained to the a panel how the film’s Twitter account was shut down on the film’s opening weekend. After a large outcry, the account was restored, and Twitter claimed that the page had been suspended by mistake. But users noticed that the follower count on the page had plummeted, with some finding that they had been removed as followers and could not follow the account again. This, too, Twitter said, was a result of the accidental suspension.
According to Life Site News, Konzelman told the panel, “If [tech giants and media] are allowed to apply their own broadly drawn ‘guidelines’ to dismiss one side of controversial issues – the side they don’t agree with — and do so with impunity? Then they will do so. In a digital age, exclusion from the digital arena isn’t just discriminatory – it’s the most insidiously effective form of censorship imaginable.” (continue reading) The iFIND project created a short video of a 20-week preborn child during an MRI scan.

The video has been popular across social media networks and has been given to ChannelMum.com to share with mothers around the world.
