If the world knew how often babies survive, the abortion industry would have to admit that it kills healthy, viable preborn human beings on a regular basis. One of the babies who survived was Jennifer Milbourn.
In April of 1978, Milbourn’s birth mother went with her sister to an abortion facility where the abortionist attempted a vacuum aspiration abortion. Due to the size of Milbourn’s head, however, the abortion was not able to be done. Today, it is common for abortionists to crush babies’ heads in order to extract them, but in the 70s this wasn’t always the method.
Disappointed that the abortion wasn’t going to work, Milbourn’s birth mother, an alcoholic, decided to try and force an abortion through the heavy use of alcohol. It didn’t work, but Milbourn was born with fetal alcohol syndrome and has been overcoming the challenges associated with that diagnosis for her entire life.

After her birth, she was adopted by her mother’s sister and at 19 years old, she learned the truth behind her life. She was traumatized at learning that her mother had tried to abort her.
“For 21 years, I thought this was a freak thing that happened to me that made me feel utterly alone and unwanted,” she said in a video for Faces of Choice. But she soon learned there were other abortion survivors in the world like her and they gave her the motivation and inspiration to begin speaking out against abortion.

liveaction--2020-02-21--New clothing line aims to help people with Down syndrome

Kyle Voltin , of Fargo , North Dakota , grew up with the recognition that people with Down syndrome face an obstacle few people consider : finding clothing that fits .
Because those with Down syndrome are an average of seven inches shorter than someone without the condition , it can be difficult finding a variety of clothing in appropriate sizes .
Inspired by his younger brother Brett , who has Down syndrome , Kyle decided to found Xtra Apparel Company as a way to solve this clothing problem .
“ Having a brother with Down Syndrome , I ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ first-hand when trying to find jeans or shorts that fit him right .

liveaction--2020-02-21--VICE features step-by-step guide to DIY abortion, falsely claims ‘there’s no danger in these pills’

Lately , it seems a number of pro-abortion outlets are publishing “ how-to ” guides for DIY abortions .
The latest offender is VICE , with an article called “ What to Know About Giving Yourself an Abortion.
” Abortion groups have been pushing unsupervised , at-home abortions , a dangerous and unsafe practice , for years .
Recently , pro-abortion groups have become much more vocal about their aim to illegally distribute abortion pills online and teach women how to “ safely ” end the lives of their preborn children without medical supervision .
While another recent “ guide @ @ @ @ @ @ @ life in the comfort of your own home included a disclaimer from the author which read , “ I am neither a lawyer nor a medical professional , and this guide should not be a substitute for legal or medical advice , ” the VICE article contains no such disclaimer .
In fact , the author of the piece in VICE sought the endorsement and advice of an abortionist lending the impression that the breezy guide to medical abortion is , in fact , medical advice .
Author Marie Solis brought in none @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the foremost activists pushing for at-home abortions .
Despite posing as an “ unbiased ” fact-checker , Grossman has decades of professional and financial ties to the major players in the industry , including DANCO Laboratories , the manufacturer of the abortion pill .
For years , Grossman has been behind some of the industry-funded “ studies ” on at-home abortion pill use .
Mentioning only that Grossman is “ an OBGYN and the director of Advancing New Standards in Reproductive Health , a program at the University of California , San @ @ @ @ @ @ @ disclose Grossman ’ s financial relationship with the manufacturer of the abortion pill and history of promoting so-called “ self-managed ” abortion .
The article ’ s author claims that “ any abortion with pills is ‘ self-managed ’ to some degree.
” While it is true that the current pill protocol involves mothers ingesting the pills in a doctor ’ s office or abortion facility and then being sent home with the rest of the pill regimen , often without adequate preparation , women are then on their own to cope with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ during the abortion and are alone and unsupervised when they deliver the now-deceased baby .
Women have described the experience as “ horrific , ” “ humiliating , and terrifying.
” This fact should serve as an indictment of the abortion industry and the lack of information and support offered to mothers not a reason to promote illegally purchasing pills online and doing your own abortion .
In Solis ’ s article , Grossman provides criteria for assessing if you ’ re a “ good candidate ” for the method before ending your @ @ @ @ @ @ @ concerns are gestational age , as the pills are only intended for use in the first 10 weeks of pregnancy , and if abortion pills are taken during an undiagnosed ectopic pregnancy it can be fatal for the mother .
However , Grossman doesn ’ t mention that underestimating the gestational age of the baby happens frequently and results in an increased failure rate of the abortion pill as well as additional increased risks for the mother .

Solis writes , “ Self-inducing or self-managing an abortion is now synonymous with taking pills , a safe and effective method of ending a pregnancy.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the efficacy of mifepristone — which kills the baby by cutting off the nutrient supply — and misoprostol , which induces contractions to deliver the deceased baby .
Many women illegally acquiring abortion pills are only able to acquire misoprostol , which significantly increases the abortion failure rate .
Even when both mifepristone and misoprostol are available , there is still a failure rate requiring surgical intervention to prevent life-threatening infection .
Women on Web , recommended by Solis , includes in its own statistics that 6.8 % of women required follow-up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Live Action News recently estimated that based on current failure percentage ranges , up to 31,000 women could experience an abortion pill failure every single year .
With no mention of the likelihood of surgery following a failed abortion , Grossman recommends only that women seek medical attention if there is a prolonged fever or severe bleeding after the abortion .

liveaction--2020-02-22--African-American Bishop: A ‘woke’ church should oppose Planned Parenthood

Remarks made by Bishop Patrick L. Wooden , Sr. during a sermon preached at the Upper Room Church of God in Christ are garnering attention for blasting the racist and eugenic history of Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger .
Wooden preached his sermon on January 27th , just days following the anniversary of the infamous Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision which forced abortion on the nation .
“ Everyone ’ s talking about being woke !
Woke ?
And you didn ’ t know that Margaret Sanger said this ?
… How you going to be a woke church @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” The Bishop then quoted the 1939 words Sanger penned in a letter to eugenicist Clarence Gamble regarding Planned Parenthood ’ s infamous “ Negro Project.
” “ You Bishops and Pastors and leaders out there , if you haven ’ t told your congregation about the number one killer of African Americans — an organization that kills more African Americans every two weeks than the Klan did in its entire history — you are not qualified to use the word ‘ woke ’ , ” he said .
“ For you are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Watch : Live Action News has documented how , along with Sanger , many of her board members were also deeply entrenched in the racist philosophy of eugenics .
And well after Sanger , Planned Parenthood remained a significant part of the eugenics community .
In the letter the Bishop referenced , Sanger expressed her desire to use Black ministers in furthering the organization ’ s agenda .
She wrote , “ We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population.
” And if it did @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.
” The Bishop preached his message after Bishop Elder John Amanchukwu responded to controversy that erupted when North Carolina Lt. Gov .
Dan Forest spoke about Sanger ’ s racist eugenics during a Frederick Douglas Foundation event on Martin Luther King Jr. Day .
Forest had stated in part , “ There is no doubt that when Planned Parenthood was created , it was created to destroy the entire Black race .
That was the purpose of Planned Parenthood .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Amanchukwu defended Forest ’ s claims , saying , “ What Margaret Sanger said – which is the issue at hand — she said she wanted to exterminate the Negro population .
What does it mean to exterminate ?
What is the leading cause of death in our country ?
… Abortion , ” he added .
“ So , we wanted to bring awareness to this issue… because we say it all the time.
” To find the true meaning of a thing you go back to its origin where it originated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was the intent .
The purpose and intent of Margaret Sanger was to exterminate the Black race… .
So every Planned Parenthood that still exists today , it has its origins — it ’ s roots — in the extermination of the Black race .
I ’ m amazed that we ’ ve even allowed for Planned Parenthood to even remain .
To know that in its origin , in its infancy , it was to eviscerate — to eliminate — the Black race .
Elder Amanchukwu explained that his church maintains a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , even inviting the reporter to come out and observe .
He challenged the reporter , also an African American , who claimed he had “ never heard this before , ” to see first hand the disproportionate number of Black people seeking abortions at that facility because of Planned Parenthood ’ s targeting of the Black community .
“ When you go to the clinic you will see a steady track of African Americans going into that abortion clinic… .
I will pick you up… drive you over… so you can see @ @ @ @ @ @ @ holocaust that is being wrought on the general community at large and in particular the Black race , ” Elder Amanchukwu said to the reporter .
READ : TRAGIC : Black women abort at almost four times the rate of White women When preaching to the congregation , Bishop Wooden stated with regard to Amanchukwu ’ s interview , “ I know by now you ’ ve witnessed the interview and you saw how this young man masterfully stood for God ’ s truth .
He did not allow himself to be manipulated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that we had a leader ready in Elder Amanchukwu , ” Bishop Wooden said .
The church received criticism from both the NAACP and Planned Parenthood , but that did not impact the passion church leaders had to speak out .
“ Does not the Bible give the unborn personhood ?
David gave it personhood .
God gave it personhood , ” Bishop Wooden said , adding : … Since 1973 , 46 percent of Blacks who should be here are missing due to abortion alone… .
I don ’ t understand how @ @ @ @ @ @ @ John Hancock affixed to a political party that has in its party platform the support of an organization that supports a procedure that has wiped out 46 percent of African Americans since 1973 .
How can you do that and then call yourself woke ?
… .
Even if [ Martin Luther ] King would have been for abortion , the God of this Book is not .
And the last time I checked… we form our opinions and ideologies of life from the Bible , not from any political party and not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dead… .
The Bishop ’ s church is part of the Church of God in Christ ( COGIC ) , a primarily African American denomination which passed a strong pro-life resolution in November of 2019 .
It reads in part , “ Abortion is genocide .
Abortion must end to protect the life of the unborn .

“Everyone’s talking about being woke! Woke? And you didn’t know that Margaret Sanger said this?… How you going to be a woke church and don’t know this?” The Bishop then quoted the 1939 words Sanger penned in a letter to eugenicist Clarence Gamble regarding Planned Parenthood’s infamous “Negro Project.”
“You Bishops and Pastors and leaders out there, if you haven’t told your congregation about the number one killer of African Americans — an organization that kills more African Americans every two weeks than the Klan did in its entire history — you are not qualified to use the word ‘woke’,” he said. “For you are the epitome of being asleep!” Watch:

Live Action News has documented how, along with Sanger, many of her board members were also deeply entrenched in the racist philosophy of eugenics. And well after Sanger, Planned Parenthood remained a significant part of the eugenics community.
In the letter the Bishop referenced, Sanger expressed her desire to use Black ministers in furthering the organization’s agenda. She wrote, “We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population.” And if it did, these ministers could “straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.”
The Bishop preached his message after Bishop Elder John Amanchukwu responded to controversy that erupted when North Carolina Lt. Gov. Dan Forest spoke about Sanger’s racist eugenics during a Frederick Douglas Foundation event on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Forest had stated in part, “There is no doubt that when Planned Parenthood was created, it was created to destroy the entire Black race. That was the purpose of Planned Parenthood. That’s the truth.”
Elder Amanchukwu defended Forest’s claims, saying, “What Margaret Sanger said – which is the issue at hand — she said she wanted to exterminate the Negro population. What does it mean to exterminate? What is the leading cause of death in our country?… Abortion,” he added. “So, we wanted to bring awareness to this issue… because we say it all the time.”
Elder Amanchukwu told the reporter from WRAL:
To find the true meaning of a thing you go back to its origin where it originated, what was the purpose, what was the intent. The purpose and intent of Margaret Sanger was to exterminate the Black race…. So every Planned Parenthood that still exists today, it has its origins — it’s roots — in the extermination of the Black race. I’m amazed that we’ve even allowed for Planned Parenthood to even remain. To know that in its origin, in its infancy, it was to eviscerate — to eliminate — the Black race.
Elder Amanchukwu explained that his church maintains a regular presence outside a Raleigh abortion facility, even inviting the reporter to come out and observe. He challenged the reporter, also an African American, who claimed he had “never heard this before,” to see first hand the disproportionate number of Black people seeking abortions at that facility because of Planned Parenthood’s targeting of the Black community.
“When you go to the clinic you will see a steady track of African Americans going into that abortion clinic…. I will pick you up… drive you over… so you can see the travesty, the slaughter, the holocaust that is being wrought on the general community at large and in particular the Black race,” Elder Amanchukwu said to the reporter.

When preaching to the congregation, Bishop Wooden stated with regard to Amanchukwu’s interview, “I know by now you’ve witnessed the interview and you saw how this young man masterfully stood for God’s truth. He did not allow himself to be manipulated by the media…. I thank God that we had a leader ready in Elder Amanchukwu,” Bishop Wooden said.
The church received criticism from both the NAACP and Planned Parenthood, but that did not impact the passion church leaders had to speak out.
“Does not the Bible give the unborn personhood? David gave it personhood. God gave it personhood,” Bishop Wooden said, adding:
… Since 1973, 46 percent of Blacks who should be here are missing due to abortion alone…. I don’t understand how any person of color… can have their John Hancock affixed to a political party that has in its party platform the support of an organization that supports a procedure that has wiped out 46 percent of African Americans since 1973. How can you do that and then call yourself woke?….
Even if [Martin Luther] King would have been for abortion, the God of this Book is not. And the last time I checked… we form our opinions and ideologies of life from the Bible, not from any political party and not from any human being, living or dead….
The Bishop’s church is part of the Church of God in Christ (COGIC), a primarily African American denomination which passed a strong pro-life resolution in November of 2019. It reads in part, “Abortion is genocide. Abortion must end to protect the life of the unborn. The Church of God in Christ opposes elective abortions….

liveaction--2020-02-22--Pro-life leader: Billboards against abortion are being blocked in Black communities

In a Christian Post article this week , pro-life “ factivist ” Ryan Bomberger brought to light the refusal of certain advertising companies to run pro-life billboard ads , particularly those purchased to run in Black communities , where abortion rates are skyrocketing .
The Radiance Foundation , started by Bomberger and his wife Bethany , launched the Too Many Aborted pro-life ad campaign in 2010 , which was successful in informing women and men about helpful resources in their communities , including pregnancy centers , giving them options other than abortion .
However , more recently , when The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ line of pro-life ads pointing out the effects of abortion on the Black community — “ WhatAbortionReallyIs ” — the ads were refused by the advertising companies Outfront and ClearChannel .
Each of the ads pictured an African-American behind varying messages like , “ Abortion is injustice everywhere , ” “ Abortion is genocide , ” and “ Abortion is fake feminism.
” The abortion industry has targeted the Black community since the founding days of Planned Parenthood by eugenicist Margaret Sanger , and this continues today .
As a result , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ higher — about 3.8 times higher — than that of White women in the United States .
The double standard here is striking .
Bomberger notes in the Christian Post that extremely pro-abortion billboards have been allowed by some of these same companies : Our campaign was in response to Outfront ’ s approved pro-abortion billboards aimed at the black community in Dallas declaring : “ Abortion is Self-Care.

In Cleveland , Lamar Advertising allowed Preterm — Ohio ’ s largest abortion business — to place 9 of 16 outrageous pro-abortion billboards in predominantly black neighborhoods .

The Radiance Foundation, started by Bomberger and his wife Bethany, launched the Too Many Aborted pro-life ad campaign in 2010, which was successful in informing women and men about helpful resources in their communities, including pregnancy centers, giving them options other than abortion. However, more recently, when The Radiance Foundation attempted to advertise a new line of pro-life ads pointing out the effects of abortion on the Black community — “WhatAbortionReallyIs” — the ads were refused by the advertising companies Outfront and ClearChannel. Each of the ads pictured an African-American behind varying messages like, “Abortion is injustice everywhere,” “Abortion is genocide,” and “Abortion is fake feminism.”
The abortion industry has targeted the Black community since the founding days of Planned Parenthood by eugenicist Margaret Sanger, and this continues today. As a result, the abortion rate among Black women is much higher — about 3.8 times higher — than that of White women in the United States.

The double standard here is striking. Bomberger notes in the Christian Post that extremely pro-abortion billboards have been allowed by some of these same companies:
Our campaign was in response to Outfront’s approved pro-abortion billboards aimed at the black community in Dallas declaring: “Abortion is Self-Care.”
In another Outfront billboard, featuring African-American abortionist Monica McLemore, pregnancy care centers were bogusly attacked for their “abortion deception” (aka medically accurate information about what abortion is and how it impacts mother, father and child).
In Cleveland, Lamar Advertising allowed Preterm — Ohio’s largest abortion business — to place 9 of 16 outrageous pro-abortion billboards in predominantly black neighborhoods. The abortion-peddling signs falsely claimed: “Abortion is a family value”, “Abortion is sacred”, “Abortion is a blessing”, “Abortion is safer than childbirth” and “Abortion is necessary”.

What’s so striking about this figure is that Black people only make up 12% of the U.S. population, yet their abortion rate and numbers are higher than the larger demographic of White women.
The abortion industry’s targeting of the Black community is real. Advertising companies like the ones encountered by the Radiance Foundation are preventing the truth from being shared and lives from being saved.

DEFEND PREBORN CHILDREN IN 2020 MAKE YOUR GIFT TO LIVE ACTION

In a disturbing trend, media outlets are increasingly equating miscarriage and pregnancy complications with elective abortion.
A recent article in InStyle titled, “No Matter How You Feel About Abortion, You Need to Better Understand D&C,” claims that there is no difference between receiving surgical treatment after a miscarriage and electing to end the life of a preborn child. The central argument of the article seems to be that opposition to killing preborn babies has led to a lack of information about the dilation and curettage procedure (D&C). A D&C is sometimes necessary following the unintentional demise of a preborn baby through miscarriage when the miscarriage is not completed (the baby’s remains are still in the uterus). In the D&C, a woman’s cervix is dilated, and a doctor uses surgical instruments to remove whatever remains in the uterus.
According to Dr. Diane Horvath (a.k.a. Diane Horvath-Cosper), a practicing ob-gyn and abortionist interviewed by InStyle, whether a D&C is performed after a miscarriage or as part of an elective abortion “it is exactly the same.” While the rudimentary surgical procedure may bear resemblance, the idea that they are “exactly the same” is absurd. In one, a child who has passed away through no one’s fault or intention is removed from his or her mother. In another, a child with a beating heart is suctioned apart or dismembered until she bleeds out and her skull containing a brain with recently active brainwaves is crushed.
READ: SHOCK: Abortionist holds dismembered baby, says patient can ‘get on with her life’
The doctors who chatted with InStyle blithely suggest that there is no difference between experiencing a miscarriage and undergoing an elective abortion. Horvath claims, “There’s no shame in pregnancy loss, just like there’s no shame in getting an abortion.” Horvath tries to suggest that politics has created an “artificial division” between mothers whose pregnancies end in miscarriage and mothers who elect or are coerced into ending their child’s life in abortion. Likewise, Dr. Alexandra Sacks, a reproductive psychiatrist, says, “There are all sorts of reasons why a pregnancy would end,” adding, “the same thing needs to happen: You need to clean and clear the uterus so you can get back to your healthy baseline, without discomfort or pain or infection.”
Distinguishing miscarriage and elective abortion is not a political fabrication; these are, in fact, fundamentally different acts. Mothers in all circumstances deserve compassion and resources. They also deserve to know the truth. The truth is that elective abortion is never medically necessary, and it violently destroys a living human being.

Unfortunately, InStyle is not the only media trying to blur the very real lines between miscarriage and abortion. TeenVogue, once a fashion magazine for teens, has produced a barrage of propaganda aimed at its young readers. One of the most recent examples is a collection of stories showing how “normal” abortion is. Among many problems with this collection of stories aimed at underage girls, at least two of the stories featured actually weren’t abortions at all.
In one, a woman identified as Jen recounts undergoing an elective abortion as a teen. She writes, “My second abortion was when I was 29. I had a much-wanted one-year-old child and was pregnant with a second, which was also very much wanted.” At a routine ultrasound, Jen discovered that her “pregnancy had ended,” by which she likely means that her child’s heart had stopped beating or the baby had failed to develop but her body had not yet recognized the miscarriage and expelled the contents of her uterus through bleeding.
For reasons not given in the story, the D&C was incorrectly treated as an elective abortion under the author’s state’s law. If what Jen describes was in fact a missed miscarriage for which she received surgical treatment, this is unfortunate and perhaps points to a need to change the implementation of the law. It would not, however, change the fundamental difference between electing to end a child’s life at 19 and experiencing a miscarriage at 29.
READ: Miscarriage and abortion are both traumatic, but let’s be clear: they’re not the same
In another story, a woman named Kenya writes about her experience of suffering an ectopic pregnancy while attempting to obtain an elective abortion. According to Kenya, the facility “saved [her] life.” Reading the story, it is hard to understand this interpretation. What Kenya recounts is experiencing severe pain before an appointment for an elective abortion and the abortion facility ultrasound technician discovering evidence that the pregnancy may be ectopic. Instead of transporting Kenya to the emergency room when staff thought her fallopian tube might rupture — a life-threatening emergency — they let her leave the facility by herself. Kenya drove herself to the emergency room while still experiencing intense pain and waited for hours before undergoing life-saving surgery to remove a ruptured fallopian tube. This, like the above story, is not an abortion, and the abortion facility certainly did not save her life.
Abortion advocates claim if abortion is limited, women experiencing miscarriage or pregnancy complications will be denied medical care. Horvath goes so far as to say this explicitly, telling InStyle, “When we don’t have access to abortion care, we also reduce access to treatment for pregnancy loss.” This is blatantly false. As Ireland demonstrated with decades of pro-life laws and one of the lowest maternal mortality rates in the world, direct abortion, the intentional killing of a preborn baby, is not necessary to save the life of the mother.
Defending the lives of preborn babies does not bring “shame and judgment” to mothers experiencing the grief of miscarriage, as claimed. Acknowledging the life of each preborn child, whether lost to abortion or miscarriage, affirms their dignity and humanity.

But unsurprisingly, it leaves out important and relevant information on what abortion is and does — and what the risks are.
The cartoon video features the character “Sam” explaining to a teen experiencing an unplanned pregnancy what her “options” are. According to Sam, “First off, abortion is a very personal decision, and only the person who is pregnant can decide what is best for them.” Sam then lays out the options of parenting, placing a child for adoption, or undergoing an abortion. In order for a teen in a crisis pregnancy to make a decision, it would be helpful for her to understand what actually happens in an abortion.

Hormonal birth control can be dangerous and even deadly for young women — see here, here, here, here, here, and here regarding young women experiencing serious complications like blood clots and even death — and parents deserve to know if their daughters are using these drugs.

In addition, as history has shown, Planned Parenthood’s idea of “pregnancy counseling” is telling girls and women to get abortions. Countless women have recounted stories of how they received no counseling before their abortions.

Having Planned Parenthood centers in the school will open the door for Planned Parenthood to send girls to their own abortion facilities to spend hundreds of dollars on an abortion without their parents’ knowledge — another dangerous situation for young girls, including those who may be in abusive relationships. Having centers in schools is Planned Parenthood’s opportunity to gain the trust of girls as new clients while they are young and impressionable.

liveaction--2020-02-23--Portuguese Parliament votes in favor of euthanasia and assisted suicide, despite protests

This past week , the Parliament in Portugal voted to allow assisted suicide and euthanasia , even as protests raged outside of the building .
If President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa doesn ’ t block the legislation , Portugal will become one of only a handful of countries in the world to allow doctors to kill their patients .
Thousands of people protested the bills , according to the Portugal Resident .
The bills would not only allow assisted suicide , but euthanasia as well — when a doctor directly administers the fatal drugs to a patient .

This past week, the Parliament in Portugal voted to allow assisted suicide and euthanasia, even as protests raged outside of the building. If President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa doesn’t block the legislation, Portugal will become one of only a handful of countries in the world to allow doctors to kill their patients.
Thousands of people protested the bills, according to the Portugal Resident. The bills would not only allow assisted suicide, but euthanasia as well — when a doctor directly administers the fatal drugs to a patient. Only Belgium, Canada, Colombia, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Switzerland currently allow euthanasia. But despite the protests and the fact that so few countries allow euthanasia, Socialist lawmaker Isabel Moreira painted opposition to the bills as “radical.”
Protesters fought back, saying lawmakers should make health care for the terminally ill the priority instead of death. Despite the country’s legalization of abortion in 2007, and now, the potential legalization of euthanasia, Portugal’s constitution still claims to be based upon the dignity of the human person, stating that human life should be “inviolable.”
“I think life is an inviolable asset, human life has an inviolable value, consecrated by our Portuguese constitution – thank God,” 21-year-old Francisco Guimaraes told Reuters. “We must care for life until it comes to its natural end.”

Countries in which assisted suicide and euthanasia have been legalized often see the number of people requesting to die skyrocket over time, and the supposed safeguards are slowly relaxed until virtually anyone is allowed to be killed. Assisted suicide in Australia, for example, has been legal for under a year; yet already, 52 people have died in this manner, and the number of applications to die were reportedly “higher than expected.” Canada has horrifyingly even begun to partner organ harvesting with euthanasia, and a Canadian resident is euthanized approximately every three hours, according to a shocking report from the Canadian government.

liveaction--2020-02-23--Former Planned Parenthood prez’s name suddenly scrubbed from Catholic university event website

Last week , Students for Life president Kristan Hawkins notified supporters by email that Notre Dame of Maryland University , a Catholic school , was set to host former Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards at a women ’ s event on March 7th , 2020 .
“ Women of the World Festival Baltimore ” says on its website that its goal is to “ unite and explore a variety of issues that affect women across cultural and social boundaries.
” The Baltimore event is “ part of a larger global movement that celebrates women and girls as a force for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to mark the 100 year anniversary of International Women ’ s Day .
Hawkins encouraged supporters to contact the Catholic university to urge organizers to rescind their speaking invitation to Ms. Richards , a well-known abortion proponent .
Interestingly , as of February 22nd , the featured speaker page for the event does not list Cecile Richards , though her name is still listed in the event descriptions on the Baltimore Sun ’ s website and the Baltimore.org website ( see below ) : What ’ s more , the first result of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cecile richards ” pulls up a link from the festival website with the title , “ Speaker : Cecile Richards- WOW Festival Baltimore.

Did the Catholic university rescind its invitation to the controversial speaker ?
Or did they simply remove her name from marketing materials due @ @ @ @ @ @ @ supporters encouraging the university to uphold its faith identity ?
Richards , who presided over Planned Parenthood ’ s major shift toward becoming the nation ’ s most profitable abortion provider , stepped down in 2018 after 12 years at the helm , just three years after the Center for Medical Progress exposed the abortion giant ’ s role in the trafficking and harvesting of the body parts of aborted children .
