A deliberately distorted explanation of the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act

By Dave Andrusko I grant you no major “mainstream media” outlet, let alone the Washington Post, would ever be honest about abortion, but don’t you think describing a veteran pro-abortion propagandist as a “freelance journalist and commentator on politics, gender and culture” is just a tad disingenuous? That’s the Post’s description of Laura Bassett who …

By Katie Franklin Physician Brent Boles is taking the internet by storm once again with a Facebook post about a pregnant patient whose chemical abortion failed to take the life of not one, but both of her unborn children.

Two misleading attempts to minimize prolife swing in public opinion and the horror of non-treatment of born-alive abortion survivors

By Dave Andrusko For the last post of the day I’d like to take a look at two stories, one attempting to prove that the increase in pro-life self-identification is only an “illusion” and the other a classic case of stacking the deck in favor of refusing to treat babies who survive abortions. What did …

Melissa’s birth mother didn’t know she had survived the abortion. Then they met face-to-face

By John Jalsevac February 20, 2019 — In 1977, Melissa Ohden’s then-19-year-old mother was forced to abort her baby by her own mother. She underwent a grueling five-day saline abortion.

Tell the U.S. Senate: Vote YES on the Born-Alive Bill

By Dave Andrusko If we didn’t already have enough incentive to call our U.S. senators about voting in favor of the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, what took place in New York and is taking place in Arizona should remind us that Democrats have now moved pass supporting abortion through all 40 weeks of pregnancy …

Arizona pro-abortionists trying to eliminate all protections for abortion survivors

By Dave Andrusko It is, indeed, a sign of the times, an illustration of how abortion on demand has spilled over into an insistence that we do nothing for babies who survive abortions.
