While abortion advocates <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/planned-parenthood-raises-20-million-in-midterms" target="_blank" rel="noopener">made gains in the midterms</a>, even in traditionally red states like Kentucky and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/montana-voters-reject-measure-requiring-care-for-babies-born-alive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Montana</a>, these so-called ‘wins’ are America’s loss.
Research shows that, despite the pro-choice narratives, abortion is never a win. I know this personally, having survived my mother’s attempt to abort me.
Today, I lead <a href="https://abortionsurvivors.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Abortion Survivors Network</a>. The stories I hear every day are chilling — and a direct refutation of the “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/celebrities-shout-their-abortions-as-roe-v-wade-finally-dies" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shout your abortion</a>” narrative.
One nurse, for example, approached me after a recent lecture I gave to tell me how she is still haunted by what she witnessed. After surviving a saline abortion, a baby was left to die in a utility closet. This nurse is not alone. My staff and I have heard similar stories from many other medical professionals.
We have also connected with over 600 survivors — including the parents involved. Every week we hear from adoptive parents who are now caring for children who survived attempted abortions.
We also hear from women who attempted to abort their child with ‘at home’ methods touted on social media. These women come looking for hope that their child will be okay. They’re looking for support in the face of guilt and shame over their actions. Abortion drives loss.
Statistics shared by <a href="https://supportafterabortion.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Support After Abortion</a> show that 63% of women sought help after their abortion, but only 18% knew where to turn. Additionally, 34% of women who experienced a medication abortion suffered from negative self-image afterward. None of this should be a surprise.
As The Guttmacher Institute reports, since 2005 most women seek abortions because of financial fears or relationship fears. The life-changing decision to have an abortion is made under traumatic, stressful circumstances.
Of course, these studies largely go under-reported in the media because it doesn’t fit the popular narrative, as one mainstream reporter recently discovered. 
<a href="https://www.insider.com/author/hayley-mc-mahon">Hayley McMahon’s at Insider</a>, a self-described “public-health scientist who studies structural and social determinants of abortion access,” said Twitter suspended her account, “for tweeting the medication-abortion protocol using mifepristone and misoprostol.”
Ironically, she promoted the World Health Organization’s medication abortion protocol and was shut down by Twitter. While her account was eventually reinstated, the narrative remains. 
Stories like mine go untold, stories about women and men needing help after abortion are sneered at, while the pro-abortion narrative goes viral. 
The Guttmacher Institute <a href="https://www.guttmacher.org/article/2022/02/medication-abortion-now-accounts-more-half-all-us-abortions">reported that medication abortions</a> made up 54% of all abortions in 2020. These numbers are likely to go up, which means that more women will need the services provided by Support After Abortion, professional therapists, religious groups like Rachel’s Vineyard, and networks like mine. But, again, that reality doesn’t fit the narrative. 
Since that fateful June day when Roe was overturned, The Abortion Survivors Network has seen a nearly 40% increase in the number of survivors reaching out to us every month. I hear the same from similar organizations.
In our annual retreat with abortion survivors, I asked a question relevant to today’s climate: “Would your life have been different if your family had received support after the attempt to abort you failed?” Everyone raised their hands.
These stories and statistics show why the impact of abortion reaches far beyond the ballot box.
Abortion affects every aspect of a person’s life, both personally and professionally. The public deserves to hear the stories of those hurt by this kind of ‘healthcare.’ The public deserves honest reporting of data surrounding the complications of abortion and the aftermath.
The true story is that abortion is the driver of loss.
As this year’s tumultuous battle over abortion comes to a close, the truth, however inconvenient it may be, must prevail.

The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/georgia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Georgia</a> Supreme Court has reinstated the state&#8217;s six week <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/abortion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">abortion</a> ban.
In a unanimous decision Wednesday, the state Supreme Court issued a stay against a lower court ruling that overturned the state&#8217;s 2019 &#8220;heartbeat&#8221; abortion ban. The order went into effect immediately, pending an appeal from state officials. The superior court of Fulton County previously overturned the law last week; it had previously been blocked by a federal court until the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade this past summer.
&#8220;The State of Georgia’s Emergency Petition for Supersedeas seeking a stay of the order of the Superior Court of Fulton County in [STATE OF GEORGIA v. SISTERSONG WOMEN OF COLOR REPRODUCTIVE JUSTICE COLLECTIVE et al.] is hereby granted,&#8221; the court wrote in a <a href="https://www.gasupreme.us/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/s23m0358.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">one-page order</a>. The decision of the court was unanimous; presiding justice Nels S.D. Peterson was disqualified, and justice Andrew A. Pinson did not participate. The court also dismissed a separate request for an administrative stay.
According to the <a href="https://www.ajc.com/politics/state-asks-georgia-supreme-court-to-allow-enforcement-of-abortion-law/TZYXSAXNPZFKJMLQ5AOUOE4BSI/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Atlanta Journal-Constitution</a>, lawyers for the state appealed to the Supreme Court days after the Fulton County court ruling. “The harm to the state is significant and irreparable,” attorneys wrote in their appeal, via the AJC. “Unborn children are at risk every day that the injunction continues.”
The lower court ruling had overturned the law on the basis that it was unconstitutional when it was passed in 2019; in their appeal, state attorneys said that did not matter since the law is constitutional now because of the Supreme Court&#8217;s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women&#8217;s Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. Wade and sent abortion back to the states. “The Superior Court fundamentally misunderstood the role of courts, which merely interpret law in the course of issuing judgments in individual cases,” attorneys wrote. “Courts do not amend the constitution, and the constitution does not change simply because a court’s view of it changes.”
In the meantime, abortion clinics in Georgia had <a href="https://www.ajc.com/politics/georgia-supreme-court-orders-states-abortion-law-back-into-effect/D5VPGTJNLVGMPDHOGORBCYIKSI/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">resumed providing abortion services</a> for women at up to 22 weeks of pregnancy, which was the standard practice before the law was passed. The Feminist Women’s Health Center, an abortion clinic in Atlanta, told the AJC they had no abortions scheduled for Wednesday, but several were scheduled for Saturday in which a fetal heartbeat could be detected.
Last week, <a href="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/23307352-ga-abortion-ruling-111522" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fulton County Superior Court</a> judge Robert McBurney overturned the “Living Infants Fairness and Equality (LIFE) Act,” which bans abortion after six weeks of pregnancy. McBurney declared the law void under Georgia law, citing a provision that declares unconstitutional laws void from the time of their passage, and mandates that the judiciary declares them so.
In 2019, &#8220;everywhere in America, including Georgia, it was unequivocally unconstitutional for governments &#8212; federal, state, or local &#8212; to ban abortions before viability,&#8221; McBurney wrote. Therefore, the LIFE Act &#8220;did not become the law of Georgia when it was enacted and it is not the law of Georgia now,&#8221; he concluded.
&#8220;What does this ruling mean? Most fundamentally, it means that courts &#8212; not legislatures &#8212; define the law,&#8221; McBurney concluded. &#8220;If the courts have spoken, clearly and directly, as to what the law is, as to what is and is not constitutional, legislatures and legislators are not at liberty to pass laws contrary to such pronouncements.&#8221;

The Catholic bishops of America chose their new leader of their pro-life committee on Wednesday, and not only was he the first U.S. bishop to publish a <a href="https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/248727/christian-response-to-transgender-conflicts-needs-charity-and-clarity-arlington-diocese-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener">catechetical letter</a> discouraging gender “transitioning” and using gendered pronouns that had nothing to do with biological sex, he also issued a ban on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi receiving Communion in his Arlington, Virginia, diocese.
Bishop Michael Burbidge was elected the leader of the pro-life committee 174-63 over Bishop W. Shawn McKnight of Jefferson City, Missouri.
Burbidge wrote last May that the <a href="https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/251305/archbishop-cordileone-nancy-pelosi-communion-abortion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Communion ban</a> on Pelosi issued by San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore J. Cordileone in Pelosi’s home of San Francisco was his guidance, <a href="https://www.arlingtondiocese.org/bishop/walk-humbly-podcast/the-walk-humbly-podcast---episode-93/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">asserting,</a> “He is her bishop and as that bishop the direction and guidance he provides is not limited to just a geographical area.”
Cordileone <a href="https://sfarchdiocese.org/letter-to-the-faithful-on-the-notification-sent-to-speaker-nancy-pelosi/?mc_cid=cc54d9e84e" target="_blank" rel="noopener">had written</a> on May 2022, “After numerous attempts to speak with her to help her understand the grave evil she is perpetrating, the scandal she is causing, and the danger to her own soul she is risking, I have determined that the point has come in which I must make a public declaration that she is not to be admitted to Holy Communion unless and until she publicly repudiate her support for abortion ‘rights’ and confess and receive absolution for her cooperation in this evil in the sacrament of Penance.”
After Cordileone issued his ban on Pelosi receiving Communion, she defied it, receiving Communion at Holy Trinity in Georgetown.
Last October, Burbidge condemned President Joe Biden’s stated desire to codify a national right to abortion. “The role of Congress is to pass laws that serve the common good — and yet this priority of the president only brings about pain and death,” he <a href="https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/252673/arlington-bishop-condemns-biden-s-abortion-agenda" target="_blank" rel="noopener">declared</a>.
“Bishop Burbidge has been outspoken in his commitment to making pro-life issues a centerpiece of the activities in the Arlington Diocese and the Commonwealth of Virginia,” Olivia Gans Turner, president of Virginia Society for Human Life, told the <a href="https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/252832/bishops-elect-burbidge-pro-life-chair-other-votes-signal-no-dramatic-policy-shifts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Catholic News Agency</a> (CNA).
“It has been exciting to see him expand pro-life efforts in Northern Virginia. Pro-lifers of every faith and no faith congratulate him,” she continued. “The USCCB has made a good selection for this important position.”
“A joyful and energetic leader for life,” Jeff Caruso, executive director of the Virginia Catholic Conference, told CAN. “His dedication to evangelizing the dignity of every life and working for the protection and care of unborn children, their mothers, and their families resonates with clarity and conviction in the Diocese of Arlington, in Virginia, and well beyond. I was excited to learn that he has been elected to chair the USCCB’s pro-life committee.”

A new bill introduced in the Texas state legislature would legally include a child in the womb as a second person in high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes.
State Rep. Briscoe Cain (R) introduced <a href="https://capitol.texas.gov/tlodocs/88R/billtext/pdf/HB00521I.pdf#navpanes=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">House Bill 521</a>, which entitles a pregnant driver to use any HOV lane in the state, for the 2023 session this week.
The bill&#8217;s text states, &#8220;An operator of a motor vehicle who is pregnant is entitled to use any high occupancy vehicle lane in this state regardless of whether the vehicle is occupied by a passenger other than the operator’s unborn child.&#8221; It is unclear how police would be expected to enforce the law.
The proposed bill comes after Texas woman Brandy Bottone was pulled over in an HOV lane on Central Expressway in Dallas in June and told police that her unborn child should be counted as a second person.
When Bottone was asked who else was in the car, she <a href="https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/texas/texas-bill-pregnant-women-people-drivers-allowed-in-hov-lanes/287-a53ea1c3-8817-4d92-b265-bbba72b9b1ca" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> WFAA that she pointed to her belly and said, &#8220;Uh, this!&#8221; She argued that the Supreme Court&#8217;s ruling to overturn Roe v. Wade meant that her child should be included as one of two people in her car.
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Pregnant Texas woman driving in HOV lane gets ticket, argues baby is second passenger" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/c1_okQY69dw?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Bottone later received a second ticket for the same offense after her first ticket was dismissed without a court hearing, <a href="https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/pregnant-hov-lane-mom-gets-first-ticket-dismissed-then-gets-another/3060581/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to</a> NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth.
“Based on a review of the facts and circumstances of this case, and the applicable law, the state moves to dismiss the case,&#8221; the Dallas County District Attorney&#8217;s Office reportedly said.
The twice-ticketed mother was asked for her response to the proposed legislation in a report by the Dallas News on Thursday.
“Wow! This is a wonderful step forward for the women of Texas,&#8221; Bottone <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/other/texas-bill-would-say-a-fetus-can-legally-be-a-second-passenger-in-hov-lanes/ar-AA14dLZx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated</a>. &#8220;Pregnancy is stressful, but your anxiety is through the roof without the hassle of being stopped and questioned if another life is on board is a step in the right direction. Baby Charlotte and I are rooting that the bill gets passed and other states follow suit.”
Bottone gave birth to her daughter Charlotte in August.
The Texas legislature returns to session on January 10, where Cain&#8217;s bill will be among many under consideration. If approved, the current draft states that the law would go into effect on September 1, 2023.
Even if the bill does pass, it will not guarantee fetal personhood in the state. Texas <a href="https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/texas-lege-watch-pregnant-hov-driver-bill/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">proposed</a> a fetal personhood bill in 2021 that would include implications regarding the treatment of frozen embryos used as part of in vitro fertilization procedures.
With strong Republican wins in the state legislature across Texas during this month&#8217;s election, House Bill 521 has a reasonable chance of passing as part of showing strong support for pro-life legislation in the state. Texas has already passed a fetal heartbeat bill that bans most abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy.

Texas Bill Would Make Unborn Child Second Person In HOV Lanes

A man in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/texas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Texas</a> has been accused of attempting to make his wife have an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/abortion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">abortion</a> by secretly giving her abortion pills. 
Mason Herring is a 38-year-old lawyer who was indicted by a grand jury earlier this month on two felony charges. He was charged with assaulting a pregnant woman, as well as “assault – forced induced to have an abortion,&#8221; according to court documents, per <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/nov/14/texas-mason-herring-abortion-drug-wife-drink-criminal-charges" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Guardian</a>.
Mason Herring and his wife have been married for 11 years and have two young children. In February, Herring said he wanted to be separated and moved out of the couples’ house. He was <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11435741/Texas-attorney-38-indicted-trying-sneak-abortion-inducing-drug-wifes-water.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">allegedly</a> having an affair. When his wife discovered that she was pregnant, she told him in a couples’ therapy meeting in March and told authorities that he did not respond to the information in a positive way.
<div class="article-body" data-qa="article-body">
He said that “this would ruin his plans and make him look like a jerk,” the affidavit noted, according to <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/11/14/texas-husband-abortion-drug-wife/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Washington Post</a>.
</div>
Herring’s wife said that he gave her water to drink, one of which she saw was clouded with a substance after she drank from it. She went to the hospital after suffering from extreme bleeding.
“She stated that she then began to suspect that something had been placed in her drink and that perhaps it was some kind of abortion drug,” the affidavit stated.
He continued to give her more drinks over the course of the following week after she came back from the hospital. She saw that several of them had “an unknown substance” inside.
His wife had people over when Herring was set to come to her home in April to possibly show his strange actions. His wife and the two other individuals saw that a drink Herring tried to offer her had “an unknown substance” in it. She also found packets of Cyrux in the trash, which is a medication that has misoprostol — an abortion inducer.
After returning from the hospital, she didn&#8217;t drink anything he gave her, but held onto it as proof. At least two of the six water samples she collected later tested positive for misoprostol.
Anthony Osso, an assistant district attorney for the case, <a href="https://abc13.com/houston-abortion-case-attorney-mason-herring-accused-of-forcing-induction-to-have-an/12431216/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> KTRK that Herring’s alleged behavior was “manipulative.”
“It’s premeditated,” Osso said. “What we are alleging Mr Herring did, which we believe the evidence supports, is a pretty heinous act. To do that to someone who trusts you, it’s taking advantage of that trust.”
Osso added that Herring&#8217;s wife delivered her baby slightly early, but the child is now thriving and healthy.
Herring is currently free on a $30,000 bond and his lawyer, Dan Cogdell, <a href="https://abc13.com/houston-abortion-case-attorney-mason-herring-accused-of-forcing-induction-to-have-an/12431216/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gave</a> a statement to KTRK.
“We are aware that the Grand Jury has returned these charges,” Cogdell said. “That said, we very much look forward to our day in court and are thoroughly convinced that we will prevail in a Court of law when our time comes to defend these allegations. Until that day comes, I don&#8217;t intend to comment any publicly any further.&#8221;
In Texas, abortion is entirely <a href="https://www.aclutx.org/en/know-your-rights/abortion-texas#:~:text=Texas%20bans%20abortions%20at%20all,that%20involve%20rape%20or%20incest." target="_blank" rel="noopener">prohibited</a> unless the mother’s life is in danger. It is also <a href="https://www.texastribune.org/2022/07/18/texas-abortion-laws-pressure-campaign/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">illegal</a> to “aid and abet” abortion procedures.
Herring is the first person in Harris County to face a charge of assault-force induction to have an abortion, a more recent statue. He could serve two to ten years in jail and faces a fine of up to $10,000.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/pro-life" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pro-life advocates</a> have expressed the dangers of abortion pills and the possibility that they could be used against women by abusers and human traffickers. This is not the first time that a man has used chemical abortion against a woman. In 2013, a woman’s boyfriend <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2013/09/10/justice/girlfriend-abortion-case/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pleaded</a> guilty to tricking her into consuming an abortion pill and several additional <a href="https://www.euronews.com/2015/03/13/woman-miscarries-after-boyfriend-secretly-gives-her-abortion-pills" target="_blank" rel="noopener">instances</a> have occurred in other countries.

Texas Attorney Charged With Secretly Giving Wife Abortion Pill

Texas Attorney Mason Herring Charged With Secretly Giving Wife Abortion Pill

Crime

A <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/georgia">Georgia</a> judge overturned a state law Tuesday that bans abortions of unborn children with a heartbeat at six weeks gestational age.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney sided with Sistersong Women of Color Reproductive Justice Collective, declaring specific provisions unconstitutional in the &#8220;Living Infants Fairness and Equality (LIFE) Act,&#8221; which would criminalize abortions occurring after an unborn child has a detectable heartbeat typically as early as week 5 of pregnancy.
The law, which Gov. Brian Kemp signed in 2019, was previously blocked by a district court ruling until last summer when the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, which Justice Samuel Alito called &#8220;egregiously wrong from the start.&#8221;
McBurney said in his <a href="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/23307352-ga-abortion-ruling-111522">15-page ruling</a> that when lawmakers signed the bill, &#8220;everywhere in America, including Georgia, it was unequivocally unconstitutional for governments — federal, state, or local — to ban abortions before viability,&#8221; adding the state&#8217;s law &#8220;did not become the law of Georgia when it was enacted, and it is not the law of Georgia now.&#8221;
&#8220;What does this ruling mean?&#8221; McBurney wrote. &#8220;Most fundamentally, it means that courts — not legislatures — define the law,&#8221; adding that &#8220;if the courts have spoken, clearly and directly, as to what the law is, as to what is and is not constitutional, legislatures and legislators are not at liberty to pass laws contrary to such pronouncements.&#8221;
Life News <a href="https://www.lifenews.com/2022/11/15/georgia-judge-overturns-heartbeat-law-banning-abortions-on-babies-with-beating-hearts/">reports</a> state attorneys argued the judge should view the abortion ban in light of the Dobbs v. Jackson Women&#8217;s Health Organization ruling since Roe v. Wade no longer applies.
Andrew Isenhour, a spokesperson for Gov. Kemp, told <a href="https://apnews.com/article/abortion-us-supreme-court-health-government-and-politics-atlanta-58ba677dd47afad6d25d9887f17e8763">The Associated Press</a> in a statement that the judge&#8217;s ruling placed &#8220;the personal beliefs of a judge over the will of the legislature and people of Georgia.&#8221;
&#8220;The state has already filed a notice of appeal, and we will continue to fight for the lives of Georgia&#8217;s unborn children,&#8221; Isenhour said.
Kara Richardson, a Georgia attorney general spokeswoman, told <a href="https://www.axios.com/2022/11/15/judge-strike-down-georgia-abortion-ban">Axios</a> that the state officials would &#8220;pursue an immediate appeal and will continue to fulfill our duty to defend the laws of our state in court.&#8221;
Noah Brandt, vice president of communications for pro-life non-profit organization Live Action, denounced the judge&#8217;s ruling saying the Georgia LIFE Act is constitutional. 
&#8220;The Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade through their decision in Dobbs, and therefore, state lawmakers have the constitutional prerogative to completely abolish the horrific scandal of abortion,&#8221; Brandt <a href="https://www.liveaction.org/news/georgia-life-act-overturned-district-judge/">said</a>. &#8220;This judge is clearly wrong, and I suspect the ruling will be swiftly corrected by a higher court.&#8221;
Monica Simpson, executive director of SisterSong Women of Color Reproductive Justice Collective, the lead plaintiff in the case, celebrated ending the &#8220;extreme abortion ban&#8221; victory on <a href="https://twitter.com/monicarsimpson">Twitter</a>.
&#8220;We will continue to work towards a Georgia in which everyone—including Black women and Queer, trans, and low-income people—has the freedom to decide to have children, to not have children, and to raise the families they have in thriving communities,&#8221; Simpson <a href="https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/georgia-state-court-blocks-unconstitutional-six-week-abortion-ban">said</a>. &#8220;We will have to keep fighting in Georgia to hold our legislators accountable, but this ruling proves we have the power to keep winning.&#8221;

Judge Overturns Georgia Heartbeat Bill Banning Abortion After Six-Weeks

Pro-Abortion

Four cities in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/texas">Texas</a> and five others in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/nebraska">Nebraska</a> approved ballot measures on Election Day to outlaw nearly all abortions within their jurisdictions.
The results included wins in nine of the ten communities that included similar ballot measures, with one Nebraska town voting in opposition.
“The majority of cities in America are populated with citizens who don’t want abortion in their communities,” Sanctuary Cities for the Unborn Initiative founder Mark Lee Dickson <a href="https://thestarnewsnetwork.com/2022/11/15/nine-texas-and-nebraska-cities-became-sanctuary-cities-for-the-unborn-on-election-day/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> The Star News Network. “The nine victories in Texas and Nebraska are a great testimony to this reality.”
The four Texas cities included Abilene, Athens, Plainview, and San Angelo. Abilene is the largest of the Lone Star State&#8217;s cities to approve the measure, representing more than 124,000 residents.
Texas already prohibits many abortions in its state following the passage of its Heartbeat Act which bans most abortions after six weeks when a fetal heartbeat is detected.
The ballot initiatives sought to further limit abortion. Each community&#8217;s ballot text is unique, though they emphasize similar actions that declare abortion unlawful, with the exception of the health of the mother.
The text for the <a href="https://www.bigcountryhomepage.com/news/is-abilenes-potential-sanctuary-city-for-the-unborn-ordinance-enforceable-local-level-ballot-measure-raises-concerns-ahead-of-november-election/?ipid=promo-link-block1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Abilene ballot</a>, for example, reads in part: &#8220;It shall be unlawful for any employer in the city of Abilene, Texas, and for any person acting on that employer’s behalf, to offer, provide, or arrange for coverage of abortion in any health-insurance policy or plan, flexible spending account, health savings account, or any other benefit provided to its employees, except for abortions performed in response to a life-threatening physical condition aggravated by, caused by, or arising from a pregnancy that, as certified by a physician, places the woman in danger of death or a serious risk of substantial impairment of a major bodily function unless an abortion is performed.&#8221;
In Nebraska, the towns of Arnold, Brady, Hershey, Paxton, and Wallace voted in support of the ballot measure. Curtis, Nebraska, was the one town to oppose it.
The Sanctuary Cities for the Unborn movement <a href="https://sanctuarycitiesfortheunborn.org/sanctuaries" target="_blank" rel="noopener">notes</a> that the nine new wins now make 61 cities nationwide that have approved measures in favor of the unborn. Most of the current cities are within Texas and Nebraska.
Willey, Iowa, approved a measure in May. Pollock, Louisiana; Hobbs, New Mexico; Mason, Ohio (later recanted by a new mayor); and Lebanon, Ohio, officially joined the effort.
Abortion laws have become an important issue in many states following the Supreme Court&#8217;s ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade and returned decisions regarding abortion to individual states.

Other states voted on measures to increase abortion access during the 2022 midterm elections. For example, Michigan voters passed Proposition 3, which legalizes abortion until birth. Voters in California amended the state constitution by approving a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/california-vermont-approve-limitless-abortion-measures" target="_blank" rel="noopener">referendum</a> to protect abortion until birth.

Roe v. Wade's Long And Brutal Legacy

President Joe Biden told reporters on Monday that he did not expect much change regarding abortion rights following the midterm elections.
Biden made the remarks during his trip to Bali, Indonesia.
&#8220;I don’t think they can expect much of anything other than we’re going to maintain our positions,&#8221; he <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2022/11/14/remarks-by-president-biden-in-a-press-conference-bali-indonesia/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.
&#8220;I don’t think there’s enough votes to codify, unless something happens unusual in the House. I think we’re going to get very close in the House. But I don’t — I think it’s going to be very close, but I don’t think we’re going to make it,&#8221; he added.
The responses follow an intense week of midterm election results that include some races that have still not been projected. The current House results show Republicans with <a href="https://results.decisiondeskhq.com/national/2022-house" target="_blank" rel="noopener">212 projected seats</a>, with Democrats at 201; 218 seats are needed for a majority.
Though the predicted conservative &#8220;red wave&#8221; fizzled, Republicans are still expected to win a majority in the House.
In the Senate, Democrats are projected to win 50 seats, with Republicans at 49, <a href="https://results.decisiondeskhq.com/national/2022-senate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to</a> Decision Desk HQ. The projections leave the chamber in the power of Democrats, though one seat remains to be determined in a runoff election.
Georgia&#8217;s Senate battle between Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock and Republican hopeful Herschel Walker left both candidates below the 50% mark in a race that included a third-party candidate. According to state law, the top two candidates will face one another in a runoff battle on December 6.
Biden said in October that his first legislative priority would be to codify abortion rights overturned by the Supreme Court in June if Democrats held control of the House and Senate.
&#8220;And I’ve said before: The Court got Roe right nearly 50 years ago, and I believe Congress should codify Roe once and for all,&#8221; Biden <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2022/10/18/remarks-by-president-biden-at-a-political-event-at-the-howard-theatre/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. &#8220;Right now, we’re short a handful of votes. If you care about the right to choose, then you got to vote. That’s why, in these midterm elections, it’s so critical to elect more Democratic senators to the United States Senate and more Democrats to keep control of the House of Representatives.&#8221;
&#8220;And, folks, if we do that, here is the promise I make to you and the American people: The first bill that I will send to the Congress will be to codify Roe v. Wade. And when Congress passes it, I’ll sign it in January, 50 years after Roe was first decided the law of the land,&#8221; he added.
Vice President Kamala Harris also <a href="https://www.c-span.org/video/?514548-1/vice-president-harris-we-codify-roe-v-wade" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called</a> to codify Roe in September as the Justice Department sued Texas over a state law that restricts abortions after six weeks.
“The right of women to make decisions about their own bodies is not negotiable,” she said.

‘Going To Maintain Our Positions’: Biden Offers Low Expectations On Abortion Legislation After Midterms

Biden Offers Low Expectations On Abortion Legislation After Midterms

The Biden administration is now offering abortion access to migrant youth, including transportation from states with abortion restrictions to other states where the procedure is legal.
The Department of Health and Human Services provided a memo to the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) regarding the new changes in a memo released on Thursday regarding the abortion services.
The <a href="https://www.acf.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/documents/orr/field-guidance-21.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">guidance</a> instructs all ORR care providers to make all “reasonable efforts” to help migrant minors access abortions upon request.
“This may involve transporting a minor to a state in which abortion is lawful and available if the minor is currently in a state in which abortion is not lawful or available,” the guidance reads.
The ORR&#8217;s guidance includes two areas of focus. First, the agency is instructed to place pregnant migrant minors in shelters in states where abortion access has not been banned.
Second, a pregnant minor in a shelter who requests an abortion in a state where it is illegal must be provided transportation to another state where the abortion is legal.
“We applaud ORR’s decision to place pregnant unaccompanied immigrant youth in states where they can access the full range of health care they may need, including abortion,&#8221; Brigitte Amiri, deputy director of the ACLU Reproductive Freedom Project, wrote in a <a href="https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/aclu-comment-new-orr-guidance-abortion-access-pregnant-unaccompanied-immigrant-youth" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a>.
Chelsey Youman, the national legislative advisor for the pro-life advocacy organization Human Coalition Action, blasted the change.
&#8220;What kind of message does this send to the rest of the world that we prioritize abortions instead of protection for immigrants?&#8221; Youman said in a <a href="https://www.christianpost.com/news/hhs-to-transport-migrant-minors-across-state-lines-for-abortions.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> to the Christian Post.
&#8220;These children need compassion, quality medical care, and support — but instead we’re offering abortion — paid for by taxpayers. The United States has the power to end human trafficking and provide real solutions to hurting communities along the border, instead the administration chooses neglect. Vulnerable immigrant populations deserve better,&#8221; she added.
The updated guidance is not the first move by the Biden administration to increase abortion access through federal actions.
The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/department-of-veterans-affairs-to-begin-offering-abortions-to-vets-even-in-states-where-it-is-banned" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> in September that the administration announced it would begin offering “abortion counseling” and abortions to veterans through the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) hospitals regardless of state law.
“As abortion bans come into force across the country, veterans in many States are no longer assured access to abortion services in their communities, even when those services are needed,” the <a href="https://www.va.gov/opa/pressrel/pressrelease.cfm?id=5820" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rule</a> said. “Unless VA removes its existing prohibitions on abortion-related care and makes clear that needed abortion-related care is authorized, these veterans will face serious threats to their life and health.”
Veteran Affairs Secretary Denis McDonough confirmed that one of the department&#8217;s medical centers performed its first abortion during testimony before the Veterans Affairs Committee in September.
“The principle that led us to take this step is our veteran patient safety,” McDonough <a href="https://www.civilbeat.org/2022/09/va-doctors-have-legal-protection-to-perform-abortions-secretary-says/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> during the hearing. “We take that very, very seriously and every decision we make flows from that principle.”

Limitless abortion measures were overwhelmingly approved Tuesday in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/california" target="_blank" rel="noopener">California</a> and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/vermont" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vermont</a>, paving the way to enshrine so-called reproductive rights for women into both state constitutions next year.
In the aftermath of the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade earlier this year, the decision to codify abortion went back to the states.
&#8220;The biggest battleground and the most significant war that&#8217;s taking place in this nation is the demonic murder of children in the womb, and California is leading the way,&#8221; Calvary Chapel Chino Hills Pastor Jack Hibbs told <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/premiere-at-330pm-et-ep-70-pastor-jack-hibbs-shares-why-californias-proposition-1-is-murdering-children-in-the-womb-the-larry-elder-show_4803896.html?utm_source=ai&amp;utm_medium=search" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Epoch Times</a>.
So far, approximately 3.5 million California voters have favored <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=united+states+elections,+2022&amp;oq=202&amp;aqs=chrome.0.69i59j69i57j0i131i433l3j69i60l3.677j0j7&amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;si=AC1wQDAtx2BbmyBmykHcHVhKaK47dxPgH7TBmNxg0tt09qineGWzMcdjhgQ87fSbptPPwW5pSZtRqEKFcPrmBSYdl4a6OKAffsIw3BqoWegBIZNOH3vD1Lapy3M5UI5d7wfHMELgYzWl&amp;ictx=1&amp;ved=2ahUKEwi2lfKW2qH7AhXCmWoFHYvuC04QyNoBKAB6BAgLEAA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Proposition 1</a>, which changes the California Constitution to say that the state cannot deny or interfere with a person&#8217;s so-called reproductive freedom and that people have the fundamental right to choose to have an abortion and use contraceptives.
Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom, who signed 15 abortion-related bills this year with a $200 million state budget included, contributed $3.4 million from his re-election campaign on the measure.
Democratic Senate President Pro Tem Toni Atkins, who authored the bill, told <a href="https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-11-08/2022-california-election-proposition-1-abortion-rights-results" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Los Angeles Times</a> that California voters sent a &#8220;loud, clear message to those who think they can control our bodies.&#8221;
&#8220;In California, we will not go backwards,&#8221; Atkins said.
Current state law allows women to abort their child before the fetus can survive outside the womb or if the mother&#8217;s health is in danger, and further defines the term “perinatal” as “the period from the establishment of pregnancy to one month following delivery.”
California’s Health and Safety Code says babies born alive after a failed abortion should receive the same care as another infant of a similar age, and the code also maintains protections against fetal homicide.
Pro-life groups argue that the measure&#8217;s language could allow illegal late-term abortion, attract patients from states where lawmakers have banned or limited abortion, and ultimately place a heavier burden on California taxpayers.
Susan Arnall, vice president of legal affairs at the <a href="https://righttolifeleague.org/buffys-baby-slayer-bill-ab-2223/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Right to Life League</a>, told <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/pro-life-attorney-warns-of-californias-abortion-apocalypse-in-wave-of-new-legislation_4766845.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Epoch Times</a> that Proposition 1 shares the same pro-abortion language as AB 2223, which would protect anyone who kills a baby born alive if the mother agrees with the &#8220;pregnancy outcome&#8221; and if a baby&#8217;s death happened due to &#8220;causes that occurred in utero.&#8221;
“That is why AB 2223 is the true danger,” Arnall said. “AB 2223 will eliminate California’s current Roe v. Wade era restrictions on abortion, creating an unlimited right to abortion for all nine months of pregnancy, including after the live birth of a baby. It does this with the language ‘perinatal death due to causes that occurred in utero.’ This phrase is vague and totally undefined.”
&#8220;AB 2223 will prevent any investigation into the cause of a baby’s death, erasing justice for the unwanted baby born alive,&#8221; she added.
Across the nation, Vermont codified abortion in the state&#8217;s Constitution.
According to <a href="https://vtdigger.org/2022/11/08/measure-to-enshrine-abortion-rights-in-vermont-constitution-poised-to-pass/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">local media,</a> residents supported Proposal 5, which gives individuals a right to so-called personal reproductive autonomy, by a margin of 72%-22%.
While lawmakers and pro-choice activist groups like the ACLU of Vermont, the League of Women Voters of Vermont, Alliance for a Better Vermont, and Planned Parenthood Vermont Action Fund celebrated the measure&#8217;s passage, opposers of the bill said it came as a surprise.
&#8220;We knew it was an uphill battle to actually be able to successfully share the truth of what the ramifications of this amendment would be,&#8221; Rep. Anne Donahue, R-Northfield, a spokesperson for Vermonters for Good Government, told local media. &#8220;I still believe that if Vermonters really understood the implications, they would not have supported it.&#8221;
Vermont lawmakers have already legalized abortion in the state without restrictions, and leave regulating it up to medical professionals.
Michigan residents have also decided to protect abortion rights by enshrining them in the state&#8217;s Constitution.
Tracey Brame, an associate dean at Western Michigan University Thomas M. Cooley Law School, told <a href="https://www.woodtv.com/news/elections/michigan-protects-abortion-rights-in-state-constitution/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">local media</a> that lawmakers would move to decide how to define abortion limits given the vagaries of the proposal.
&#8220;So part of the criticism of the proposal, of course, has been that it&#8217;s extreme, that there are terms in the proposal that expand abortion rights far beyond anything that Roe did, that you won&#8217;t need parental consent anymore, that there&#8217;ll be partial birth abortion, etc., based on the supposed breadth of the language,&#8221; Brame said. &#8220;So there&#8217;ll certainly be moves almost immediately to define those terms, try to figure out what they mean, and either expand or retract them, depending on your point of view.&#8221;

<div role="button" aria-label="1 hour, 44 minutes, 11 seconds very quickly and so if you're looking for sort of a bright line moral rule that would be the brightline moral rule">
Daily Wire co-founder and author <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/author/ben-shapiro">Ben Shapiro</a> outlined the &#8220;strongest case&#8221; for being pro-life Monday, which he said includes a &#8220;bright-line moral rule&#8221; about when life begins that &#8220;shifts the burden of proof&#8221; to the person arguing for abortion.
Shapiro was asked to lay out the pro-life case during a wide-ranging multi-hour interview with Lex Fridman, a computer scientist, MIT professor, and podcast host.
&#8220;The &#8216;strongest case&#8217; for pro-life is that from conception a human life has been created; it is a human life with potential,&#8221; Shapiro responded to Fridman. &#8220;That human life with potential now has an independent interest in its own existence.&#8221;
&#8220;The clear dividing line between a-human-life-exists and a-human-life-does-not-exist is the biological creation of an independent human life with its own DNA strands, etc., which happens at conception,&#8221; the &#8220;Right Side of History&#8221; author explained.
&#8220;Once you acknowledge that there is that independent human life with potential — and I keep calling it that because people sometimes say &#8216;potential human life&#8217;; it&#8217;s not a potential human life; it&#8217;s a human life that is not developed yet to the full extent that it will develop — once you say that, and once you say that it has its own interest, now the burden of proof is to explain why bodily autonomy ought to allow for the snuffing out of that human life, if we believe that human life ought not to be killed for &#8216;no good reason.&#8217; &#8230; The burden of proof is now shifted.&#8221;
&#8220;It&#8217;s very difficult to draw any other line that doesn&#8217;t seem somewhat arbitrary,&#8221; Shapiro offered. &#8220;If you said independent heartbeat, well, people have pacemakers; if you say brain function, people have various levels of brain function as adults; if you say viability, babies are not viable after they are born. If I left a newborn baby on a table and did not take care of it, it would be dead in two days. Once you start getting into sort of these lines, it starts to get very fuzzy very quickly.&#8221;
&#8220;If you&#8217;re looking for sort of a bright-line moral rule, that would be the bright-line moral rule,&#8221; Shapiro posited. &#8220;That&#8217;s sort of the pro-life case.&#8221;
Fridman followed-up, asking if the question about when life begins is religious or scientific.
&#8220;When life begins is a question of science,&#8221; Shapiro quickly responded. &#8220;When that life becomes valuable enough for people to want to protect it is going to be a question that is beyond science — science doesn&#8217;t have moral judgments to make about the value of human life.&#8221;

Ben Shapiro

The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/professor-at-catholic-notre-dame-university-helps-students-access-abortions-despite-indiana-abortion-ban" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of Notre Dame</a> refused to sponsor an event with Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro, but supported events with pro-abortion and pro-prostitution advocates.
Right to Life Michiana, a pro-life activist group, celebrated its <a href="https://www.prolifemichiana.org/upcoming-events" target="_blank" rel="noopener">annual benefit</a> in October; the university is typically the largest sponsor of the event. But according to Notre Dame&#8217;s Catholic conservative student newspaper, <a href="https://irishrover.net/2022/11/11577/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Irish Rover</a>, the school abruptly pulled its money, and prohibited student groups from donating or selling tickets because Shapiro was set to be the featured speaker. But the university hosted a pro-abortion event the same night, and allowed a student group to pay for an event with a &#8220;sex work&#8221; advocate.
&#8220;This year, a university administrator decided that Right to Life Michiana’s invited speaker transgressed the bounds of acceptable pro-life discourse,&#8221; Irish Rover editor emerita Mary Frances Myler reported.
&#8220;Notre Dame eschewed sponsorship, and, as the fiduciary for all university-affiliated groups, forbade those groups from donating to the benefit or purchasing tickets. The stated grounds? Ben Shapiro’s presence conflicts with the Catholic mission component of the university’s charitable giving policy,&#8221; Myler added.
According to the report, on-campus pro-life group Notre Dame Right to Life had already purchased tickets to the benefit, with the approval of the University, but were abruptly halted by the Student Activities Office without reason.
Notre Dame Right to Life President Merlot Fogarty and several members met with Chuck Lamphier, executive director of Notre Dame&#8217;s Office of Mission Engagement and Church Affairs, for answers. Lamphier reportedly told them that &#8220;this speaker is problematic,&#8221; citing a tweet Shapiro wrote in 2010. He said the event itself was problematic, and that &#8220;university dollars [were] not going to go to it.&#8221; He did, however, say the university would continue to support Right to Life Michiana in other ways that did not publicly connect them to Ben Shapiro, The Irish Rover reported.
But the same night as the benefit event took place, Notre Dame&#8217;s Gender Studies Program and Institute on Race and Resilience co-sponsored an <a href="https://genderstudies.nd.edu/events-and-news/events/2022/10/27/post-roe-america-making-intersectional-feminist-sense-of-abortion-bans/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">event with abortion activists</a>. One of the panelists at the event, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/slaumsu89/details/experience/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sharon Lau</a>, is currently employed as regional advocacy director for South Bend-based abortion clinic Whole Women’s Health. According to her LinkedIn page, she has previously worked for Planned Parenthood and the National Abortion Federation. Another panelist was Democratic Indiana State Rep. Maureen Bower, who called abortion a &#8220;<a href="https://indianahousedemocrats.org/news-media/bauer-remarks-on-republican-abortion-ban-final-vote" target="_blank" rel="noopener">basic human right</a>&#8221; during the debate over Indiana&#8217;s state abortion ban in August.
Just days before the event, another student group was allowed to use its money on a speaking fee for an event hosted by the University&#8217;s LGBT Law Forum, entitled “<a href="https://twitter.com/EudaimoniaEsq/status/1580938423732699137?s=20&amp;t=wyWp4aG_CTT6Vj42fwooKA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Decriminalizing Sex Work</a>.” The speaker at that event was <a href="https://cruelvalentine.com/#home" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cruel Valentine</a>, a Chicago-based burlesque performer, porn star, and sex worker. &#8220;Valentine lectured about the &#8216;whorearchy,&#8217; protested the stigmatization of sex work, and called for the elimination of legal consequences for individuals who either solicit or provide sexual services in exchange for money,&#8221; The Irish Rover reported. Both events were protected by the University&#8217;s academic freedom policies.
&#8220;[U]niversity administrators weaponized policies to obstruct charitable giving to Right to Life Michiana because the guest speaker tweeted something unpalatable more than a dozen years ago,&#8221; Myler wrote. &#8220;And this apparently makes him worse than the women who perpetuate the lie that abortion is a right, worse than the woman who has dedicated her life to stripping away legal protections for vulnerable people coerced into an exploitative economy inseparable from sex trafficking, human trafficking, pornography, and abuse.&#8221;
