A jailed pro-lifer who was held in prolonged solitary confinement last fall suffered a stroke while awaiting sentencing in May. LifeSiteNews was notified today that Heather Idoni, a defendant in the Washington, D.C. FACE (Freedom to Access Clinic Entrances) Act trials, was rushed to the hospital this week after suffering a stroke while being held at Northern Neck Regional Jail in Virginia. She is reportedly stabilized and will be taken back into custody to await sentencing on May 17. Idoni and eight other pro-lifers have been charged by the Department of Justice with violating the pro-abortion FACE Act and “conspiracy...

Planned Parenthood’s most recent annual report highlighted increased activity in the U.S., including 1.05 million patients, 9.13 million services, 2.25 million birth control services, 392,715 abortions, and another 1.7 million appointments booked online. But to the dismay of pro-life activists, what may be the most shocking aspect of the data from the report was not the national impact, but the international effect Planned Parenthood has had — a mission they use taxpayer dollars to fund. As emphasized by two of Family Research Council’s experts, Arielle Del Turco and Mary Szoch, the abortion organization “has access to the $699,300,000 in U.S....

A law that restricts abortions at six weeks of pregnancy — which is often when a fetal heartbeat can be detected — is set to take effect in Florida on Wednesday. The six-week abortion restriction is going into effect after the Florida Supreme Court issued a ruling on April 1 upholding the state’s 15-week abortion restriction. The court’s decision to allow the 15-week limit to stand cleared the way for the state’s six week abortion limit to take effect. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) signed the six-week Heartbeat Bill in April 2023, which contains exceptions for rape, incest, and the...

Iranian authorities shut down a clinic Sunday, after they said a “volunteer force” has been established to identify doctors and clinics who carry out abortions. Public Relations of Tabriz Medical Sciences University said in a statement Monday that various organizations including the university, Basij Physicians Militia of the Revolutionary Guards’ (IRGC), the justice department of East Azarbaijan Province, and police identified and sealed the clinic. At the same time, Saber Jabbari-Farouji, head of the health ministry’s Center for Rejuvenation of Population, that a volunteer group called Nafas (life) has been formed to help prevent abortions. Iranian media have dubbed the...

As arguments surrounding exceptions to laws protecting preborn children from abortion continue to rage, all the way to the Supreme Court, abortion advocates have been claiming that pro-life laws are a drastic threat to women’s lives — and one op-ed claims this danger is engineered on purpose. The extremely pro-abortion Ms. Magazine featured an article by Tess Graham in response to the case currently being heard by the Supreme Court regarding Idaho’s laws protecting preborn children from abortion. In Idaho vs. the United States, the Supreme Court is hearing a lawsuit from the Department of Justice (DOJ) claiming the state’s...

New Jersey Rep. Josh Gottheimer has falsely claimed that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has “never issued a warning” against buying abortion pills online, which often occurs through the mail. The pro-abortion activist lawmaker made the claim during a press conference outside a pro-life pregnancy resource center, where he besmirched the center’s credibility while unveiling plans to further target these life-saving centers as “deceptive.” The press conference held on April 22, 2024, which aired live on the congressman’s Facebook page, took place outside one of the offices of the First Choice Pregnancy Center where the pro-abortion representative described...

CV NEWS FEED // The funeral for the late Rep. Donald Payne, Jr., D-NJ, a pro-abortion Baptist, is reportedly scheduled to be held at the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Newark Thursday, May 4. North Jersey Media Group reported Friday that the late congressman’s funeral will take place “at 10 a.m. Thursday at Newark’s Cathedral Basilica.” Other sources corroborated this date and location. In addition, multiple sources indicate that Payne listed his religious affiliation as Baptist. It is likely that he was never baptized as a Catholic. Payne’s father and predecessor, the late Rep. Donald Payne, Sr., D-NJ,...

U.S. president Joe Biden has come under fire for making the sign of the cross during a rally criticizing measures that restrict abortion. Among his critics are José Ignacio Munilla, the bishop of Orihuela-Alicante in Spain, who called Biden’s gesture a “sacrilege.” Biden went to Tampa, Florida, on April 23 for a campaign stop one week before a law restricting abortion in the state from 15 to six weeks of gestation was due to go into effect. While a Biden supporter on stage criticized Florida governor and former Republican candidate for president Ron DeSantis for signing the bill, Biden made...

An employee of Access Health Center, more commonly known as American Women’s Center, in Des Plaines, Illinois, called 911 at 1:13 p.m. on November 2, 2023. The 911 records were provided courtesy of Illinois-based Pro-Life Action League. When the dispatcher asked specific questions about the emergency, the caller transferred the call to the abortionist, believed to be Cheryl Chastine. “Hello,” she said cheerfully, as if she was clueless that she was on the line with 911. “Hi, this is the fire department. Tell me exactly what happened,” the dispatcher asked. “Hey, what’s up? So we are doing a procedure, an...

In our final Monday Lineup, we expose a second round of sexual predators from the Northeast – all of them found inside the abortion clinic, with a state license that gives them access to the very women they have shamelessly attacked. Sexual abuse is not healthcare, and neither is abortion. BOTH are criminal. Meet Roger Ian Hardy, last seen fleeing the country after 30 years of sexual abuse, cover-ups, and silenced victims came to light… Much of the abuse perpetrated by Roger Ian Hardy could have been stopped if state officials would have taken victims seriously and if medical professionals...

...A slew of fans took to the comment section to say that while they agree a Doja Cat concert is not appropriate for younger audiences, they do not appreciate the “Boss Bitch” singer calling their children a “mistake.” “Saying leave kids at home is fine like wholly agree for a doja cat gig but reducing children to ‘mistakes’ omg can you take a day off,” one X/Twitter user reacted. “I agree that certain songs are not for kids. But to leave ya ‘mistake’ at home, that’s nasty,” another commented. “The last part was so unnecessary,” a third said of Doja...

Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said Monday on MSNBC’s “Katy Tur Reports” that if the Democrats win majorities in Congress and the White House, they will ditch the filibuster to legalize abortion nationwide. Pelosi said, “People have to view abortion as a democracy issue. This is about freedom to make your own decisions for a woman. It’s a personal decision, it’s an economic decision at the kitchen table of America’s families, if and when they could expand their families or even start their families.” Tur asked, “Do you think it’s going to be a more powerful issue at the ballot box...

JERUSALEM, ISRAEL – This Friday, Israeli pro-life leaders will host the first-ever “National Prayer For Life” event in central Israel. Larger than previous events, the leaders of the movement are calling on pastors, ministry leaders and Evangelical and Messianic Jewish believers of all kinds to come together to pray for the Lord to supernaturally intervene to defend the lives of innocent unborn children and dramatically transform Israeli culture from one that largely accepts – even encourages – abortions to one that embraces biblical values, cherishing unborn babies and nurturing a culture of life. They note that it was King David...

To bring together two of the biggest controversial political topics of the moment, in the Israel-Hamas war we are witnessing a battle between a government that has almost entirely banned abortion, and government that largely permits abortion.

Neither religious conservatives nor liberal feminists are completely satisfied with the status quo in the Jewish state, but the current system allows some 40,000 women to have abortions annually For Israelis, the affinity of President Donald Trump’s evangelical supporters for the Jewish state has been a bonanza. From the recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, the Golan Heights as being under Israeli sovereignty and refraining from condemnation of any Israeli military action, the White House has been the gift that keeps on giving. And credit for that is widely acknowledged to be his desire to please his staunchly pro-Israel

Cernovich @Cernovich Israel pays for abortions. Gaza banned them. Not one conservative of prominence truly believes, “Abortion is murder.” That’s all big mouth talk. Otherwise they’d confront this head on. It would present a major moral dilemma.

The sentencing trial of Whitney Durant, who goes by Soren Monroe, took place today, and I’d like to say this is a win for the pro-life movement and scream from the rooftops, “Justice served!” But I can’t. The blatant hypocrisy regarding how the Department of Justice treats pro-life “crimes” and crimes from pro-abortion zealots is an unignorable blot in the justice system. Let me explain. Durant, a former Bowling Green State University (BGSU) student, vandalized the Bowling Green Pregnancy Center last year. SFLA wrote two articles on this case last year. See the damage for yourself: ***IMAGE ON LINK*** Durant...

According to the New York Post, a company called MakeAMom is selling at-home insemination kits that it claims are designed to help couples who are having trouble becoming pregnant. However, ads on Twitter/X tell a different story — one that involves ‘sperm stealing.’ MakeAMom advertises a $250 “semen stealing” kit, reports BioEdge, as a way to circumvent laws in the United States that prohibit poking holes in condoms without the knowledge of either person. In one of the ads, MakeAMom states that though it is “illegal” in most states to poke holes in condoms without the other person’s knowledge, “stealing...

According to The Independent, for the first time, an anti-slavery helpline in the United Kingdom has reported suspected forced surrogacy. The anti-slavery charity Unseen released UK-wide data ahead of its annual report, which is expected to be released within a week. Calls to the helpline have increased “significantly” for the fourth year in a row, and the number of potential slavery victims has risen 30%. Unseen also noted that three women who contacted the helpline in the last year are potentially victims of forced surrogacy. It defined forced surrogacy as forcing or coercing a woman into carrying a child for...

SHOULD CRISIS PREGNANCY CENTERS BE A PART OF K-12 SEX-ED? California law requires K-12 students to receive comprehensive sexual health and HIV-prevention education. Should that education include information about anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers? Some California schools already do so — California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced earlier this month that his office sent a letter to one such center, Modesto Pregnancy Center which provides sex ed curriculum materials to Modesto City Schools District, demanding that it provide proof that the center provides medically accurate and unbiased sexual health education to public school students. A California Republican lawmaker has introduced a...
