ABORTION AND THE AMERICAN COLONIZATION OF FRANCE

After the Dobbs decision was leaked, Macron proclaimed his disgust over how the U.S. was set to abolish constitutional protections for abortion. The claim was awkward, since he was president of a country with a more restrictive abortion law than most American states, and with no constitutional right to it. Before Dobbs, Macron and other ministers had rejected the idea of constitutionalizing abortion rights. But after Dobbs, Macron acted like the governor of an average-sized American blue state. He set out to change all that.

What “Abortion Hurts Women” Meant to the Early Feminists

The early women’s rights advocates sought to challenge, accompany, encourage, and support their sisters in the pursuit of the good life, in choosing good and rejecting evil. They sought to help them understand that they did not have to be the slaves of necessity, but that they could virtuously choose to undertake difficult but worthwhile endeavors, including the hardships of motherhood.

‘I SURVIVED’: Late-Term Abortion Survivor Busts Left’s Abortion Myths

Referring to the failed abortion, Ohden said, “I now know that during those five days they started to think that my birth mom might lose her life, because the abortion was taking too long.”
“This is one of those stubborn facts,” she said, “that the abortion industry doesn’t like to talk about … . Abortion is intending to take a child’s life, and it puts the women’s life at risk as well.”

Silenced Pro-Lifers Hold Counter Event at UN

The feminists at the UN who run the Commission on the Status of Women have largely shut out pro-life groups from running events during the commission.

After inserting abortion in France’s constitution, Macron tackles euthanasia

French president Emmanuel Macron has announced that he will back legislation to legalise “aid in dying” for terminally-ill adults. A report last year claimed that most French citizens would support this. In an interview with French newspapers La Croix and Liberation, Macron said assisted dying would be restricted to adults suffering from an incurable illness, who are expected to die in the “short or middle-term”, and who are suffering “intractable” physical or psychological pain.

Biden’s VA department opens up IVF to unmarried soldiers, homosexual ‘couples’

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) announced Monday that it is expanding in vitro fertilization (IVF) services to service members who are either single or in same-sex relationships as well as allowing them to use donor sperm, eggs, or embryos.

A VA press release explained that the previous rules limited IVF to married service members whose military service led to a health condition making them infertile but still capable of producing their own eggs or sperm. Now, however, the department “will offer IVF benefits to qualifying Veterans regardless of marital status,” and expects the new policy to go into effect in a matter of weeks.

Problematizing Fertility, Normalizing Disease

Our bodies cause great inconvenience. Nothing about menstruation, ovulation, or having children is convenient, after all. But it’s the way we were created, and there are better ways to respond to the sexual asymmetry of men and women. What are we losing out on if we suppress it?

There is no morally significant difference between a human embryo and newborn

Major media outlets have been attempting to discredit Live Action’s “Baby Olivia” video, which offers a medically accurate, animated look at life in the womb beginning at the moment of fertilization. Though “Baby Olivia” has the support of doctors and medical experts, The Washington Post described the video as “not technically wrong but potentially confusing,” because it uses fertilization to date the pregnancy rather than the date of a woman’s last menstrual period (during which a child has not yet been conceived). It claims that this two-week difference is “morally significant” in the abortion debate, while it dehumanizes the preborn child at every turn.
