Don't Miss the Trump Administration's New Pro-Life Timeline

The Trump Administration is moving forward to enforce a new pro-life policy.


Family planning clinics that refer abortion services to women will soon be unable to receive federal funds. 

A new schedule was set into place on Friday, August 9.

The guideline stipulates that clinics will have until August 19 to provide a plan that complies with the new policy. Next they will be required to certify that their organizations are complying with the new rule by September 18.

The organizations will also be required to separate their finances, exam rooms, and office space from facilities that provide abortion services by March 4, 2020.

Many family planning clinics are considering dropping out of the government's program.

Maine Family Planning, a major provider who has been enrolled in the title X program for almost 50 years, expressed their intent to withdraw from the program rather than comply with the new policies.
Even though they stand to loose over $2 million a year, the organization's president George Hill stated " It is objectionable that the federal government is so arrogant as to dictate what our medical professionals can and cannot say to our patients."

Planned Parenthood would be greatly affected as well. The organization receives $50-$60 million of Title X funds annually. They also perform a large number of abortions. According to their 2017-2018 annual report,  they performed 332,757 abortion services in the past year alone. This is an increase from the 321,384 abortion services that Planned Parenthood reported the year prior.

Will more pro-life organizations grow and expand as a result of these changes? Only time will tell.

Georgia Urges Federal Judge to Dismiss "Heartbeat Bill" Lawsuit

Don't Go Breakin' Georgia's Heart(Beat Bill) Georgia made a compelling argument when the state asked a federal judge not to block the heartbeat bill that's set to take effect Jan. 1.  Attorneys representing the state argued in court Monday that the bill "advances Georgia's unique and substantial constitutional interest in protecting unborn human lives, in addition to its interests in protecting maternal health, encouraging childbirth, and safe safeguarding the integrity of the medical profession." They went on to defend the law stating that it is indeed "constitutional and justified." What You Need to Know If the bill passes, pregnant women would be unable to obtain an abortion once a heartbeat can be detected (generally around 6 weeks). The law does contain exceptions. A woman would still be allowed to receive an abortion in the case of rape or incest if a police report was previously filed.  Exceptions would also be available for wo...

Florida Lawmakers Pass 15 Week Abortion Ban

Abortions after 15 weeks may soon outlawed in the state of Florida. The news comes on Thursday night after the Florida Senate passed a monumental bill in a 23-15 party-line vote.  The bill is now headed to the desk of Governor Ron DeSantis who is expected to sign the bill into law. His spokesperson Christina Pushaw is on record saying “Governor DeSantis is pro-life and has voiced support for the concepts in this bill."  Starting July 1, doctors in the state will be prohibited from performing abortions after the 15 week mark if the governor decides to endorse this decision.   While the bill aims to protect preborn children, there are still some exceptions. These include "irreversible physical impairment" or death to the mother as well as fatal abnormality.  The abortion bill is often perceived as reasonable although  rape, incest and trafficking are not current exceptions. Lawmakers believe that 15 weeks is enough time to make a decision befor...
