BOSTON, July 30, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) – ABC veteran reporter Sam Donaldson was confronted by huge photos of aborted babies posted on trucks on the first day of the Democratic National Convention in Boston.

MONTGOMERY, July 30, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Alabama State public health officials were told to repeal their mandatory requirement that Department of Public Health employees distribute the abortifacient morning-after pill.

Aderholt requested a clarification of federal guidelines in response to a number of complaints received from public […]

Morgentaler asserts that ‘unwanted’ children would be abused and maltreated and turn into criminals and thus society is better off when abortion has killed them off before they are able to inflict societal damage.  In his own words, “The recently reported decrease in violent crime in Canada continues a trend evident since 1991. It confirms again my theory that access to abortion has […]
