The Negative Result of the New Tightened Abortion Laws: There Are All These Kids Now Being Born!​

Without coming directly out and declaring their position, it is blatantly obvious the media have staked their claim to the pro-abortion side of the debates. (Hey, if they can alter “pro-life” to now “anti-abortion,” then their alleged “pro-choice” stance can also be rebranded.) Past reporting has been clearly sympathetic to the abortion rights crowd, and the collective outrage seen following the move by SCOTUS to send Roe v. Wade back to the states sealed their bias. To further show their slant, now they are looking into the aftereffects, and can only see bad news.

Namely, there are now plenty of infants being carried to full term. This is horrendous news, according to media outlets!

NBC News looked into Texas following the implementation of its abortion laws in the wake of the SCOTUS decision, and let’s just say the news outlet was not happy. In its report, where the outlet trends towards sounding racist, NBC seems upset that more Latina mothers were giving birth. “Hispanic women and teens delivered 84% of all additional babies in Texas,” NBC tells us. But glaring details may elude your notice when you have a supreme focus on one aspect of a story. Or, just as likely, those were ignored. Here are some of the stats they provide:

The number of children born per 1,000 women rose 5.1% among Latinas, compared to falling 0.2% for non-Hispanic white women and 0.6% for Black women. Among Latinas 25 and older, fertility rates rose 8%. Among Texas’ Hispanic teens, the rate rose 1.2%, or an increase from 27.22 to 27.56 births per 1,000. For non-Hispanic white teens, the fertility rate fell 5%.

If it sounds odd that a new law would somehow target one ethnic group in this fashion, fret not. NBC explains it for you.

Hispanic women faced more challenges in getting reproductive care, including abortions. “We don’t see any other reason,” said Elizabeth Gregory, the institute’s director.

The possibility is you do not see any other reason because you did not look elsewhere. It seems rather valid to at least question if another news item that was taking place at the same time as this abortion law went into effect could be a contributing factor. Considering we have not only seen a steady stream of new arrivals moving across the Texas border but that flow has only increased in the Biden years, it stands to reason that the uptick in the Hispanic births might have a level of causality with the immigration situation. NBC News is not possessed with such reasoning.

Six Pro-Life Activists Found Guilty, Face 11 Years in Prison for Peaceful Protest​

Thomas More Society attorneys for Vaughn, a Christian father of 11 children, said in a press release that they will appeal his guilty verdict to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.

“We are, of course, disappointed with the outcome,” stated Steve Crampton, Thomas More Society Senior Counsel and attorney for Paul Vaughn. “This was a peaceful demonstration by entirely peaceable citizens—filled with prayer, hymn-singing, and worship—oriented toward persuading expecting mothers not to abort their babies. Unfortunately, the Biden Department of Justice decided to characterize Paul Vaughn’s peaceful actions as a felony ‘conspiracy against rights,’ to intimidate and punish Paul and other pro-life people and people of faith.”

“The Biden Department of Justice’s pattern of arresting and prosecuting peaceful pro-life advocates is disturbing,” Crampton added, noting criticism of the FBI’s alleged targeting of pro-life activists, despite the flood of attacks on pro-life centers and churches by pro-abortion activists following the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision.

According to the Thomas Moore Society, the prosecution relied heavily on the testimony of Davis, who participated in the protest and was arrested with the other activists, but later agreed to help the government. The government also presented a woman who had scheduled an abortion for that day, but said she left because of the protesters. The government additionally presented a clinic employee who claimed they were trapped inside the building during the protest, although the Thomas Moore Society argued that video of the incident shows traffic clearly passing to and from the abortion clinic during the protest.

Since the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision, the DOJ has notably charged more pro-life activists under the FACE Act than pro-abortion activists, despite the fact that FBI director Christopher Wray admitted in November of 2022 that approximately 70 percent of abortion-related threats of violence in the United States since the Dobbs decision have been against pro-life groups.

In December of 2022, Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta also admitted in remarks at the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division’s 65th Anniversary that the end of Roe v. Wade dialed up “the urgency” of the DOJ’s work, including the “enforcement of the FACE Act, to ensure continued lawful access to reproductive services.”

‘A Church Meeting Is Now A Conspiracy’: Pro-Lifers Pray Outside Court After Conviction Over Peaceful Protest​

“That was the biggest shock to me. It just tells me that the government can use literally anything to get us,” he said. “A church meeting is now a conspiracy. A gathering of friends is now a conspiracy.”

He added that the FACE Act was created to target Christians, pointing out that the pro-lifers were held to a higher standard than many other demonstrators.

“Where are the convictions against those blocking the interstates, and blocking the roads, and blocking people from getting to their jobs, hospitals? They’re not convicting them. They’re not concerned about that. They’re concerned about Christians standing in a hallway.”

Steve Crampton, a lawyer from the Thomas More Society who represented Vaughn, said that he was disappointed with the outcome.

“This was a peaceful demonstration by entirely peaceable citizens — filled with prayer, hymn-singing, and worship — oriented toward persuading expecting mothers not to abort their babies. Unfortunately, the Biden Department of Justice decided to characterize Paul Vaughn’s peaceful actions as a felony ‘conspiracy against rights,’ to intimidate and punish Paul and other pro-life people and people of faith,” he said.

‘Domestic Terrorism’: Man Sentenced Over Firebombing Of Wisconsin Pro-Life Building​

“Roychowdhury’s arson was an act of domestic terrorism,” said U.S. Attorney Timothy O’Shea for the Western District of Wisconsin. “Domestic terrorism is cowardly and profoundly undemocratic. It is not speech; it is not an exchange of ideas; instead, it is an attempt to harm or frighten one’s fellow citizens, thus driving Americans apart and weakening the fabric of our democratic society.”

Members of Wisconsin Family Action were disappointed with the sentence after recommending that Roychowdhury get 15 years for the attack.

“We are disappointed,” said the group’s president emeritus Julaine Appling. “The court missed an opportunity to strengthen the protection of constitutional rights like free speech and free exercise, rights that have themselves been under assault in recent years. The defendant’s act of domestic terrorism to threaten our people, our families and friends, our neighbors, and our greater pro-life community is unconscionable. Ultimately, the defendant — and others who attacked pro-life groups they disagree with — attacked our civil society and the constitutional rights foundational to it.”

Progressives claim that most – if not all – crisis pregnancy centers use deceptive means to con mothers out of seeking abortions. This claim does not stand up to scrutiny. None of these folks have proven that most CPCs lie to mothers seeking assistance. So, what is the real motivation behind their attacks on these organizations?

The answer is simple: Crisis pregnancy centers are highly effective at offering alternatives to abortion. Progressives can’t have groups like these cutting into Planned Parenthood’s profits, nor can they stomach the idea of women choosing not to abort their babies. Despite a serious deficit in funding, these organizations have managed to help millions of women and children over the years through the many services they provide.

Here’s Why Progressives Have Declared War on Crisis Pregnancy Centers

The video of Trump stating his opposition to Amendment 4 made that point, but as Harris and the propaganda press quickly showed, they will nonetheless continue to deceive Americans, here, by pretending Amendment 4 is a ballot initiative about Florida’s six-week abortion ban. It is not.

To the contrary, the ballot initiative would add Amendment 4, entitled, “[l]imiting government interference with abortion,” to the Florida constitution. That provision states that other than parental notification laws, “no law shall prohibit, penalize, delay, or restrict abortion before viability or when necessary to protect the patient’s health, as determined by the patient’s healthcare provider.”

If Amendment 4 passes, Florida’s constitution would prohibit the state legislature from passing any laws that “delay” or “restrict” abortions before 22 weeks of pregnancy, including informed consent laws or waiting periods. Further, even after the baby can survive on her own outside the womb, the Florida constitution will prohibit any ban on abortion.

Prolifers need to make this point, but only after first explaining the nonsense of the idea that a post-viability abortion is ever needed. Post-viability, the proper standard of care to treat a serious medical condition is the prompt delivery of the baby—not the prolonged late-term abortion procedure. The only purpose a post-viability abortion serves is to ensure you have a dead baby, instead of delivering a live one.

If adopted, Florida’s ballot amendment will ensure precisely that, even for full-term fetuses. That’s because Amendment 4 prohibits the state legislature from delaying or restricting abortions where the women’s health-care provider concludes the abortion is necessary to protect the patient’s “health.” Voters should recognize that the amendment speaks of a patient’s “healthcare provider,” not a licensed doctor, leaving the determination to a wide variety of individuals in the health care field.

More significant is the initiative’s use of the word “health,” which reaches an unlimited array of justifications for an abortion that most Americans would not consider health-related. For instance, the World Health Organization advises that “countries permitting abortion on health grounds should interpret ‘health’ to mean ‘a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.’” Thus, even economic strain or the desire to keep a partner happy provide a supposedly “health”-related justification for a post-viability abortion.

Further, even if a court might limit the meaning of “health” to “physical” and “mental” health, abortion until the moment of birth would remain constitutionally protected by Amendment 4. That’s because the abortionist deciding whether the woman needs an abortion to protect her “mental health” can always rely on the American Medical Association’s position that women suffer worse mental health outcomes from being denied an abortion than from obtaining an abortion.

Democrats Lie About Trump On Abortion To Shield Their Extremism

Abortion apologists continue to deceive Americans, both about Trump’s pro-life positions and the consequence of abortion initiatives.
