Woman Dies After “Routine” Surgical Abortion at Australian Abortion Clinic
Report Confirms Texas Abortion Ban Saved 8,000 Babies in 2022

According to Lila Rose, President and Founder of LIVE ACTION, approximately 32,000 boys and girls were protected from being killed by abortion, because of the fall of Roe v. Wade and the life-saving laws that went into effect in 2023.
The National Right to Life reported a few examples of the life-saving pro-life wins as follows:
Small wins like these lead to big results which can lead to total cultural transformation. This is why we do this work to spread the truth that changes people from pro-abortion to pro-life. Over 60 million children have been murdered since Roe was decided in 1973. Now that Roe is gone, the killing has slowed slightly, but it continues. We must ban all abortion and heal our society’s deep moral sickness. |

Great news: The American Medical Association (AMA) upheld their opposition to assisted suicide and euthanasia.
This was a huge win as AMA delegates voted down the attempt to change the code of ethics to support or become neutral on assisted suicide and they voted down the attempt to change terminology from assisted suicide to Medical Aid in Dying (MAiD).
The take home message is that medical professionals, young physicians and medical students must be involved in the AMA.
On October 10, the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition (EPC) were the first group to report that the AMA would be debating their policies on assisted suicide and euthanasia at the AMA House of Delegates interim meeting in Maryland (November 10 – 14, 2023).
50 draft resolutions were proposed with two of the draft resolutions dealing with assisted suicide and euthanasia.
LifeNews is on GETTR. Please follow us for the latest pro-life news
Resolution 4 would have also removed the AMA statement on not performing euthanasia or participating in assisted suicide. Both resolutions proposed to change the terminology from Physician-Assisted Suicide to Medical Aid in Dying (MAiD). The term Medical Aid in Dying includes assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Thank you to the many medical professionals who responded to the alert and worked to defeat Resolutions 4 and 5.

Re: CHEMICAL ABORTION DRUGS
Four national medical associations and four doctors experienced in caring for pregnant and post-abortive women filed a brief Friday in federal court that pushes back on the Food and Drug Administration’s arguments against withdrawing or suspending its approval of chemical abortion drugs that harm women and girls.
In November, Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys filed suit against the agency on behalf of the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine, the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the American College of Pediatricians, the Christian Medical & Dental Associations, and doctors Shaun Jester, Regina Frost-Clark, Tyler Johnson, and George Delgado.
“By illegally approving dangerous chemical abortion drugs, FDA officials put women and girls in harm’s way, and now it’s high time they were held accountable for their reckless actions,” said ADF Senior Counsel Erik Baptist. “Science was the FDA’s first victim. Women and girls were soon to follow. We urge the court to listen to the doctors we represent who are seeking to protect women from the documented dangers of chemical abortion drugs.”
The only way the FDA was able to approve the legalization of the chemical abortion drugs in 2000 was by characterizing pregnancy as an “illness” and arguing that these drugs provide a “meaningful therapeutic benefit.”
As the medical groups and doctors who filed suit explain, the FDA failed to abide by its legal obligations to protect the health, safety, and welfare of girls and women when it approved chemical abortion drugs. The FDA never studied the safety of the drugs under the labeled conditions of use, ignored the potential impacts of the hormone-blocking regimen on the developing bodies of adolescent girls, disregarded the substantial evidence that chemical abortion drugs cause more complications than surgical abortions, and eliminated necessary safeguards for pregnant girls and women who undergo the dangerous drug regimen.

ADF attorneys filed their reply brief with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Amarillo Division, in Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. U.S. Food and Drug Administration. In it, they note that “after stonewalling [the medical groups and doctors] for nearly two decades, the FDA admitted what [the medical groups and doctors] have been saying all along: the agency has never required or relied on a single study that evaluated the safety and effectiveness of these drugs under real-world conditions. Without these vital studies, the harms that these drugs inflict on women are a heartbreaking, yet unsurprising, reality.”
In 2016, the FDA extended the permissible gestational age of the baby for which a girl or woman may take chemical abortion drugs—from seven weeks’ gestation to 10 weeks’ gestation—increasing the mother’s risk of adverse complications. The FDA also changed the dosage and route of administration for the drugs, reduced the number of required in-person doctor visits from three to one, expanded who could prescribe and administer chemical abortion drugs beyond medical doctors, and eliminated the requirement for abortionists to report non-fatal complications from chemical abortion drugs.
Further, in 2021, the FDA announced that it would allow abortionists to send chemical abortion drugs through the mail—in direct violation of longstanding federal law. As the lawsuit points out, this decision puts girls and women at additional risk from chemical abortion drugs since mail-order, at-home abortions skip necessary medical examinations to ensure that girls and women do not have conditions that could lead to fatal outcomes.
Jester is a board-certified OB-GYN and medical director of Moore County Obstetrics & Gynecology in Dumas, Texas; Frost-Clark is a board-certified OB-GYN in St. Clair Shores, Michigan; Johnson is a board-certified emergency department physician in Leo, Indiana; and Delgado is a board-certified physician and serves as the medical director of Abortion Pill Reversal and Culture of Life Family Health Care in Escondido, California.

In a monumental decision that could finally end an era of abortion on demand and 63 million babies killed in abortions, the Supreme Court has reportedly issued a decision overturning Roe v. Wade. This is according to a release of a draft of the decision.
“Roe was egregiously wrong from the start,” Justice Samuel Alito wrote in the draft opinion of the court dated Feb. 10, according to Politico.
According to Politico the decision is not final and could change but the leaked draft of the opinion has four justices — Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett — joined Alito while three — Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan — dissented.

“We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled,” the opinion reportedly continued. “It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives.”
Chief Justice John Roberts has yet to cast his vote and it is unknown which side he will vote with, Politico reported.
“It’s impossible to overstate the earthquake this will cause inside the Court, in terms of the destruction of trust among the Justices and staff,” SCOTUSblog tweeted Monday night. “This leak is the gravest, most unforgivable sin.”
No draft opinion of the court in modern history has ever been leaked in this manner, Politico reported. It has already been derided as an effort to bully the Supreme Corut into keeping Roe in place and Jonathan Turley called “one of the greatest breaches of security in the history of the Court.”
Leading pro-life groups weighed in on the news of the leaked draft saying they hope eventually the accuracy of the Supreme Court overturning Roe will be confirmed.
“We don’t know whether rumors of the end of Roe are accurate yet, but we know that ending Roe is the right decision, returning the issue to “We The People” from a few judges with an agenda,” said Kristan Hawkins of Students for Life of America. “You won’t find “abortion” written in invisible ink in the Constitution undiscovered until 7 men saw it in 1973. Ending preborn human life is and has always been a judicial error.”

SAVE OUR BABIES FROM ABORTION & INFANTICIDE!
By Bonnie Waite
October 2019
“There is a stark contrast between those of us who cherish the wonder and dignity of human life…and those who fail to recognize God as the Author of all human life. Between those of us who will fight to protect the lives of the youngest members of our human family…and those who use abortion as a weapon to advance a deadly culture of life. For us, there is no more important issue facing America today than the evil of abortion.
Abortion corrupts our entire society. It leads to multiple other forms of violence in our nation, the breakup of the family and the downward spiral of public morality. And that the only way to bring peace to our nation, our cities, our communities and our families is to end the violence of abortion. PERIOD!” Fr. Pavone, Priests for Life

Franklin Graham: Christians Must “Vote Against the Godless, Socialist Agenda” of the Abortion Industry
Evangelical leader Franklin Graham minced no words in a recent interview when it comes to how Christians should vote. The Christian pastor made it very clear that Christians have a Biblical obligation to vote pro-life. He said every Christians needs to vote in 2020 against the “godless, socialist agenda” of the abortion industry. He added that Christians need to defend religious liberty and support “god-fearing judges,” if our nation is to survive.
“Obedience to God’s Word brings blessing,” said Rev. Graham in his commentary for the October issue of Decision magazine. “Disobedience brings chastisement and ultimately eternal punishment in Hell away from the majesty and presence of God.” “God’s Word encompasses every sector of living, teaching, instructing, correcting and rebuking,” he said. “When a political party speaks about values but endorses abortion and same-sex marriage, they are completely rejecting Scripture that speaks very clearly on these issues.”
“When God speaks, and He does so through Scripture, all of us should listen,” said Rev. Graham, adding that “The Bible says we are knit together by God in our mother’s womb (Psalm 139:13).” To help with listening, “religious liberty” must be defended by our leaders, he added, and for that America needs to have “God-fearing judges” in the courts who will defend that liberty. Some progress has been made in the last few years with federal judges, Supreme Court justices, and restrictions on abortion, said Rev. Graham. However, abortion is still legal,” and it is a stench in the nostrils of God,” he said.
Graham has always been outspoken against abortion and, in January, called for New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo to be excommunicated after he signed into law a bill legalizing abortions up to birth. “This law allows for the murder of unborn children up until the day of their birth,” “I call on my friend Cardinal Dolan to take a moral stand,” he continued. “Whether it moves the governor’s calloused heart or not, it will have a great impact on not only the church in New York, but on the church worldwide. It’s about standing for right over wrong, good over evil.”
He said the law allows the torture of unborn babies in a way that most people would not stand for if it was done to a dog or cat or a convicted criminal. The law allows unborn babies to be aborted for any reason up to 24 weeks and up to birth for “health” reasons, a broad category that includes basically anything. It redefines a “person” as “a human being who has been born and is alive,” and describes abortion as a “fundamental right.” The law also removes state protections for infants born alive in botched abortions.
Graham, the son of the late Rev. Billy Graham, has become one of the strongest voices for life among evangelical Protestants. He uses his massive platform to raise awareness about unborn babies and the death-driven abortion industry, and frequently calls out religious and political leaders who advocate for the killing of God’s children.
