Marsha’s Place Plays Role in Abortion Pill Reversal Bill

NIFLA member Marsha’s Place Pregnancy Resource Center in Henderson is one of only two pregnancy centers in Kentucky to offer Abortion Pill Reversal. This life-saving process can reverse the abortive effects of the drug mifepristone, which is administered to women in order to induce medical abortions. Early medical abortions involve a two-part drug procedure. Mifepristone is administered to the woman first, followed by misoprostol.

Abortion Dominates Headlines: No Justice for Jennifer, NIFLA Center Vandalized

On January 22, 2019, New York passed its “Reproductive Health Act” – or RHA.

Kathy Tran, D-Va., clearly allows for abortion up to the time […]

Victory! Hawaii Pregnancy Centers Won’t Be Forced to Promote Abortion

By Sarah Kramer Free speech doesn’t just mean that we are free to speak the messages we choose. It also means that we cannot be forced to speak messages with which we disagree. The Supreme Court made this clear in National Institute of Family and Life Advocates (NIFLA) v. Becerra when it ruled against a California law that forced pro-life pregnancy centers to advertise for abortion. Such a law is not only unconstitutional, but also violates federal […]
