R.I.P. MOLLY KELLY. A LEGENDARY HAPPY WARRIOR FOR THE GIFT OF LIFE

Those were the words often used to describe Pennsylvania advocate Molly Kelly, who has died at the age of 87.

Her eloquence was born out of tragedy. In 1975, her beloved husband, Jim Kelly, died in an accident, leaving her with eight children. The oldest was only 12—the youngest, 15 months. In tribute to Jim, Molly launched her pro-life ministry.

She was not just a talker, she was a doer. She invited pregnant teenagers to live in her home during a tender time in their lives. With her speaking engagements, she reached thousands of teens each year.

ABORTION PILLS: WHERE ARE THEY LEGAL AND ILLEGAL?

In a January 8, 2025, article by the Catholic News Agency titled Abortion pills: Where are they legal and illegal?, author Jonah McKeown writes:

“As states continue to legislate on abortion in the post-Roe v. Wade landscape, a major point of contention as a new presidential administration takes office is the two-drug medication abortion regimen, commonly referred to as the abortion pill.

Abortions done via medication, also called chemical abortions, currently account for about half of the abortions that are done in the United States every year. However, many states restrict the use of abortion pills, specifically the first drug in the two-drug regimen, mifepristone. (Emphasis added)”

LILA ROSE CELEBRATES WINNING ABORTION DEBATE AT YALE, CREDITS CHARLIE LIRK’S INSPIRATION

Pro-life activist Lila Rose celebrated a decisive student victory in a heated abortion debate at Yale University on Wednesday, crediting the late conservative speaker Charlie Kirk for inspiring her to take the stage amid his assassination.

As LifeNews reported, Lila did well enough that the student audience voted pro-life on a 60-31 margin afterwards.

Afterwards, Rose talked about the lead up to doing the event in a new video she released.

THE PAIN OF A PARENT: HOW THE ROBINSONS’ COURAGE LED TO THEIR SON’S CAPTURE

There are only two families on earth who understand the truly nightmarish pain of September 10. While Charlie Kirk’s wife, children, and parents bear an unspeakable grief, made all the more gut-wrenching by the violent and public way he died, there’s a couple in Utah living with another kind of anguish — the unimaginable suffering that comes when your son is responsible.

No one raises a child thinking they’ll be a killer. Like the rest of the world, Matt and Amber Robinson were probably horrified at the news of Charlie’s assassination. They must have reeled from the footage with the same revulsion and disbelief as tens of millions of Americans who were stunned at the savage way his bright light was snuffed out. And like any mom and dad of three good sons, it would have never crossed their minds that this massive manhunt would lead straight to their door.

PLANNED PARENTHOOD IS TEACHING TEENS HOW TO SECRETLY GET TRANS HORMONES

Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion company, is expanding its reach into selling trans hormones by instructing teenagers on evading parental consent and medical safeguards.

That’s according to a recent workshop exposed by critics who warn it endangers vulnerable youth. The abortion organization, which operates nearly 600 centers nationwide, has positioned itself as the leading seller of cross-sex hormones for so-called gender transitions, treating 40,000 patients last year alone, with 40% aged 18 to 22.

In a move critics decry as prioritizing ideology over safety, Planned Parenthood affiliates have begun offering explicit guidance to minors on obtaining hormones without parental knowledge, fueling concerns that the group is exploiting confused teens for profit.

ABORTION ACCESS EXPANDS WITH ONLINE PRESCRIPTIONS IN MICHIGAN. SOME FEAR RISKS

Access to abortion in Michigan is widening, after the state’s largest provider, Planned Parenthood, this year began to prescribe the so-called “abortion pill” through telehealth smartphone or online consultations.

Now, several independent clinics may soon follow suit, mailing the pills to patients after virtual appointments.

“We want to make sure all of our legal ducks are in a row,” said Tanya Little, vice president of Summit Women’s Centers in Detroit.

MAN WAKES UP AS HIS ORGANS WERE JUST-ABOUT-TO-BE-HARVESTED

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has announced sweeping reforms to the nation’s organ transplant system following serious evidence of unethical practices.

The investigation was sparked by the shocking case of TJ Hoover, a man from Kentucky who was declared brain dead but woke up an hour into organ harvesting. Federal investigators focused on the nonprofit responsible for coordinating organ donations across Kentucky, southwest Ohio, and parts of West Virginia. The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), an agency within the HHS, reviewed 351 cases from the past four years where organ donation was approved but not completed. Alarmingly, 103 of those cases raised serious concerns.

Secretary Kennedy stated, “Our findings show that hospitals allowed the organ procurement process to begin when patients showed signs of life…”

BILL GATES FUNDS PROJECT TO EMBALM NEWBORN BABIES, HARVEST THEIR ORGANS

A new project pro-abortion activist billionaire Bill Gates is funding raises pro-life concerns.

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is funding a new project that involves embalming deceased newborn babies to harvest tissues and organs for artificial intelligence research, according to a report by Modernity News.

The initiative, which focuses on using the remains of infants who die in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), could spark outrage among those who view it as a disturbing exploitation of vulnerable lives.

CALIFORNIA ALLOWS ANONYMOUS ABORTION PILL PRESCRIPTION

The In yet another advance of abortion absolutism, California doctors may now prescribe the chemical abortion pill mifepristone anonymously, allowing pharmacists to fill the dangerous drug with neither the doctor nor the patient listed, according to a bill (AB 260) signed into law Friday by California Governor Gavin Newsom (D).

Aimed largely at the Trump administration and pro-life states, the real effect of the legislation is to harm the vulnerable women exploited by the abortion industry, proving yet again that abortion is not health care.

HOSPITALS BACKS DOWN, WON’T FORCE ULTRASOUND TECHS TO DO ABORTIONS

The ACLJ is pleased to report a significant victory for religious liberty and pro-life medical professionals.

As you’ll recall, we recently sent a demand letter to a hospital on behalf of five ultrasound technicians who were concerned that they would soon be compelled to participate in abortion procedures despite their deeply held religious beliefs. Today we can share that counsel for the hospital – after receiving our demand letter – has informed us that each of our clients will be granted the religious accommodation they requested.

This is a tremendous win, not just for these brave medical professionals, but for the broader principle that no one should be forced to violate their sincerely held religious beliefs in the workplace – especially when their objection is to assisting in the killing of innocent preborn babies.

AMA ARTICLE PUSHES FOR OVER-THE-COUNTER ABORTION PILLS

Taking abortion pills can lead to dangerous side effects, perhaps even death. Which is why the process of chemical abortion — called “medical” by pro-abortion advocates — is supposed to occur only under the guidance of a doctor. Indeed, post-Dobbs, women died because of improperly supervised chemical abortions, wrongly blamed by the media and pro-abortion advocates on pro-life laws.

But the medical establishment is so invested in unlimited abortion that JAMA Internal Medicine just published an advocacy article calling for the two drugs used in chemical abortions to be available over the counter: ...

STUDY: RATE OF SERIOUS OR LIFE-THREATENING COMPLICATIONS AFTER ABORTION PILL IS 22 TIMES HIGHER THAN FDA CLAIMS

Abortion advocates, their allies in the corporate media, and even the U.S. Food and Drug Administration insist the pill responsible for more than half of the nation’s abortions is “safe and effective.” A new, wide-ranging analysis of insurance claims regarding the abortion drug regimen, however, found that the rate of life-threatening complications due to mifepristone is at least 22 times higher than what the FDA and Danco Laboratories, manufacturer of mifepristone pill Mifeprex, suggest.

In the “largest known study of the abortion pill,” Ethics and Public Policy Center President Ryan Anderson and Director of Data Analysis Jamie Bryan Hall used purchased Medicaid, TRICARE, Medicare, and private medical insurance claim data to determine that 865,727 mifepristone abortion prescriptions for 692,873 women were handed out between 2017 and 2023.

STUDY FINDS CHEMICAL ABORTIONS BLOODIER, MORE PAINFUL THAN ADVERTISED

One of the reasons (among others) we spend so much time complaining about the “studies” of mifepristone safety and efficacy put out by the abortion industry is that they aren’t being straight with women about the risk and severity of side effects.

Now comes a study out of the University of Pennsylvania which proves that prescribers of the abortion pill are underplaying these risks in their anxiousness to deliver their sales pitch.

The study, “Patients’ experiences with pain and bleeding in first-trimester abortion care,” which appears in the February 20, 2025 online edition of the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology (AJOG), surveyed more than 600 women who aborted, with 347 chemical abortion and 169 surgical abortion patients responding.

NEW JERSEY PROGRAM AIMS TO PREVENT SUICIDE – JUST NOT ALL SUICIDES

New Jersey has started an admirable program to prevent suicide. From the NJ.com story:  ...

That’s great. Too bad the effort won’t apply to all suicides.

You see, assisted suicide is legal in New Jersey. The self-terminations of people with a prognosis of six months or less ceases to be “suicide” when facilitated by a doctor. Indeed, the terminology of the law has been engineered to create a false narrative: ...

LIFE-AFFIRMING PRINCIPLES FOR MEDICAL DECISION-MAKING

1. No matter what life-sustaining procedure/medical treatment is in question, when in doubt, err on
the side of life. A medical intervention can be tried with the option of stopping it if it proves ineffective or excessively burdensome for the patient.

2. It is the physician’s obligation to truthfully and fully, in layperson’s terms, discuss with the patient/
proxy/family/guardian the benefits, risks, cost, etc. of available medical means that may improve the
patient’s condition/prolong life. The focus should be on what the person making medical decisions
needs to know in order to give truly informed consent.

3. The patient or the patient’s legal representative makes the decision whether a treatment is too
burdensome.

ASSISTED SUICIDE LAWS, ONCE LEGAL, INEVITABLY EXPAND

When a jurisdiction is debating an assisted suicide bill, many organizations and individuals present information about the necessary safeguards that the jurisdiction must implement to “safely” legalize assisted suicide.

The Euthanasia Prevention Coalition knows that it is not possible to “safely” legalize assisted suicide and once legal the law will inevitably expand.

Great Britain is currently debating an assisted suicide bill sponsored by Kim Leadbeater. Many states have already introduced assisted suicide bills in 2025 and we anticipate many more legalization bills this year. We know that some states that have legalized assisted suicide will debate bills to expand their law.

Editor’s note: Abortion providers complain that Pro-Life Pregnancy Centers are biased.  Below is a look at the other side.

SURVEYS SHOW “COUNSELING” IN ABORTION CLINICS IS BIASED

... There are many, many accounts of biased and dishonest “counseling” in abortion facilities. Some come from post-abortive women, others from former abortion workers.

Pro-life regulations in some states require abortion facilities to give accurate medical information about abortion’s risks and fetal development. So-called “pro-choice” advocacy groups fight these laws tooth and nail, and abortion facilities do everything they can to undermine them.

There hasn’t been a great deal of research done on abortion “counseling,” and its effect on pregnant people’s decisions, but there have been some surveys done over the years.

SHOCKING ARTICLE IN ACADEMIC MEDICINE: HELPING PATIENTS DIE: IMPLEMENTATION OF A RESIDENCY CURRICULUM IN MEDICAL AID IN DYING

“First, do no harm” is attributed to Hippocrates and is one of the principal precepts of bioethics that all healthcare providers are (or were) taught in school and is a fundamental principle throughout the world.

But today, the Hippocratic Oath, the oldest and most widely known treatise on medical ethics that forbade actions such as abortion and euthanasia that medical students routinely took upon graduation, has now been revised or dropped at many medical schools.

So we should not be surprised that we now have an article in the August issue of Academic Medicine (lww.com) titled Helping Patients Die: Implementation of a Residency Curriculum in Medical Aid in Dying by Spielvogel, Ryan MD, MS; Schewe, Savannah MD

NORMALIZING ASSISTED SUICIDE WILL LEAD TO A DUTY TO DIE

Euthanasia isn’t really about compassion but fear of decline and a loathing of dependency — and of those experiencing them.

That nasty truth has become abundantly clear with a new column published in the Times of London in which former Tory MP Matthew Parris argues that euthanasia/assisted suicide should not only be permitted — but encouraged. In “We Can’t Afford a Taboo on Assisted Dying,” he writes (my emphasis):

I can’t dispute the objectors’ belief that once assisted dying becomes normalized we will become more apt to ask yourselves for how much longer we can justify the struggle.
