Here’s a roundup of recent pro-life and abortion-related news:
Nearly 100 pro-life advocates ask Texas governor for special session on abortion pills
A chorus of pro-life voices is urging the governor of Texas to call legislators to a special session to pass a bill that will help combat abortion pills flowing into the state.
In a letter cosigned by almost 100 Texas politicians and pro-life leaders — including state Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick — Texas Right to Life President John Seago urged Gov. Greg Abbott to “convene a special session” of the Legislature for lawmakers to pass the state Woman and Child Protection Act.
That measure would allow Texans to sue traffickers and distributors of abortion pills and allow women and their families to bring lawsuits in the event that a woman is injured or killed by those pills. It would also authorize “state-led prosecution for abortion pill trafficking.”
The letter states that nearly 20,000 abortion pills are mailed into the state each year. The bill “targets those who promote, manufacture, and distribute these deadly drugs.”
Activists to hold rally urging U.S. government to defund Planned Parenthood
Activists will rally in Washington, D.C., this weekend in support of defunding Planned Parenthood.
Figures including Students for Life of America President Kristan Hawkins and activist Riley Gaines will be present at Capitol Hill on June 28 for a combined “diaper drive and rally” in support of defunding the abortion giant of taxpayer funds.
Students for Life said on its website that activists will distribute at least 392,715 diapers to pregnancy help centers and local residents; that number represents all the unborn children killed by Planned Parenthood last year, the group said.
The rally is part of the larger National Celebrate Life Conference taking place in Washington over the weekend.
Abortion bans drive providers out of pro-life states
Large numbers of abortion providers in states that passed abortion bans fled those states in the wake of those laws, new data shows.
A study published this month in JAMA Network Open investigated whether “state-level abortion restrictions” in the wake of Roe v. Wade’s repeal “could lead clinicians to leave states that ban abortion.”
The survey found that 42% of surveyed abortion providers in states that enacted bans “relocate[d] primary practice” after such bans.
Nearly half of all states ban abortion after 22 weeks of pregnancy, while a dozen ban the procedure outright. Just nine states and the District of Columbia allow for abortion at any time for any reason.
