The Christian Post’s national headline reads: “W.Va. governor signs law requiring doctors to help babies born alive after abortion.” It’s newsworthy that our WV legislators succeeded in bipartisan passage of the very thing federal lawmakers can’t even bring to the floor: actionable protection for babies who survive abortionists’ best efforts to kill them. The Mountain State’s leadership continues to be noticed, and we’re genuinely influencing other states with pro-life values. One of my WV friends responded with, “This is good, but how about we outlaw abortion…period!” That’s definitely the goal. Legal challenges are certain, however, and they would wind up at the U.S. Supreme Court’s door. So long as we lack a majority of justices …

To NRLC state affiliates and chapters, We assume you know and understand the connection between ratification of an Equal Rights Amendment and its likely effect of nullifying all pro-life laws enacted at the state and federal levels. A vote will be held in the U.S. House of Representatives next week (Feb. 12 or 13, we believe) on a resolution that seeks to remove, from the 1972 ERA, the seven-year deadline for states to ratify. According to the current theories of some ERA proponents, the effect of Congress passing this resolution, by simple majority votes and without the President’s signature, would be to immediately make the ERA part of the U.S. Constitution. We have heard that …

Excerpts: Family Research Council today released a first-of-its-kind set of maps showing the strength of born-alive abortion survivor protection laws and the legal status of late term abortion in every state. Protections for born-alive abortion survivors became a national conversation when New York and Illinois walked back their protections earlier this year, removing existing protections for infants born alive during failed abortion attempts. According to research conducted by Family Research Council, only fifteen states provide strong protections for born-alive abortion survivors, and only eight require reporting on infants who survive abortion. The maps also show which states have no laws protecting born-alive abortion survivors, which states allow abortion through all nine months of pregnancy, and some surprising …

CBS News had the following to say about their interview with Karen Cross, who articulated well some key facts about abortion, the US Constitution, and the warped view of the 1973 SCOTUS that invented “out of whole cloth” a so-called “constitutional right” to abortion for any reason, at any time up until birth: “Anti-abortion advocate on plan to challenge Roe v. Wade“ “CBS News spoke to Karen Cross, the political director of National Right to Life, the oldest anti-abortion rights group in the country. Cross said she doesn’t believe the Constitution includes the right to an abortion, and said her group is trying to pass laws that could overturn Roe v. Wade.” Click below to …

From LifeNews.com: “In recent years, Georgia has become something of a second home for Hollywood as the state has opened itself up to filmmakers. But ever since the state took a stand to defend the lives of the unborn, the liberal elites on the other side of the country have demanded Georgia bend to their will or face a boycott. The CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News not only hyped the boycott Thursday, but they also touted that their parent companies might join in.” Click to read more!
