Light Up the Night: How Pro-Lifers Can Make a Difference in the Face of Extreme Late-Term Abortion Legislation

On January 22, 2019, New York passed the so-called “Reproductive Health Act” – or RHA – which Governor Andrew Cuomo then signed into law. It was a date full of significance. Forty-six years earlier, the Supreme Court of the United States had granted women the right to legally abort their babies in Roe v. Wade. This act is extreme because it removes restrictions on abortions, essentially allowing babies to be killed up until the moment […]

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. Mifepristone’s role is to block progesterone – which the woman’s body […]

Thomas Glessner in the Washington Examiner: “The Sound of Heartbeats will Lead to the End of Abortion”

“Ongoing support and friendship, material assistance, referrals for medical and legal help, housing, referrals for adoption, and other such services provide a firm foundation of support for these women during this time of uncertainty and save the taxpayers money. A critical study by the Charlotte Lozier Institute found that the work of these life-affirming agencies saved taxpayers $161 million in 2017. Over 1,500 of these agencies operate as medical clinics providing key medical services. Chief […]

Anne O’Connor in Washington Examiner: “The Case for Pre-abortion Ultrasound Laws”

“In my three decades serving women in this most vulnerable situation, I’ve heard countless stories of lives saved through the power of ultrasound. A true and vital “window into the womb,” an ultrasound is a unique chance for a mother and her significant others, including the father of the baby, to form a lasting bond with her unborn child. This is why an ultrasound before an abortion is essential. This may be the only chance […]

Thomas Glessner in Arizona Independent: “In Defense of An American Pro-Life Patriot”

True American heroes are genuinely humble and resist taking credit as they labor for causes deemed by some to be hopeless and even dangerous. Some who pursue their passion for the moral rightness of their cause are subjected to a miscarriage of justice from their enemies and suffer greatly. This is the case of former Congressman Rick Renzi, a Republican from the state of Arizona, who has paid a heavy toll from political enemies. Read […]

Thomas Glessner in Townhall: “Americans Working Together Save Lives During COVID-19”

“All medical services are provided under the direction and supervision of a licensed physician. In regard to the provision of ultrasound, they abide by national medical guidelines issued by the American Institute in Ultrasound Medicine (AIUM). In addition to the supervising medical physician, the medical staff at many of these clinics also includes Registered Nurses, Nurse Practitioners, sonographers and Physician Assistants. Most of these professionals provide their services on a volunteer basis. Such medical services […]

Thomas Glessner and Angie Thomas in The Washington Examiner: “Supreme Court May Change the Future of Abortion”

“The law in question is Louisiana’s Unsafe Abortion Protection Act, which requires abortion providers to hold admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of their practice. The law closed a loophole that allowed abortionists to get around this requirement, even though it applied to all other doctors. The regulation passed with bipartisan support in 2014. As is the case with many regulations meant to protect the safety of women during an abortion, the abortion […]
