Misleading Pro-Life Headlines

There have been multiple headlines concerning “pro-life victories” that are not victories for our neighbors in the womb.

  • Wyoming – Pro-lifers are claiming a law was passed to protect life from conception, but the law only applies to surgical abortions performed by a medical doctor. Pro-lifers are also claiming abortion pills are banned. The law actually states that “no person shall manufacture, distribute, prescribe, dispense, sell, transfer or use any chemical abortion drug in the state”, but as usual, pregnant women are exempt from any penalties and can still legally order abortion pills online and legally take them to murder their child in the womb.
  • South Carolina – Pro-lifers are claiming life is now protected from conception with HB3552. The truth is South Carolina has a bill to abolish abortion (HB3549) that has been refused to be heard in committee. The pro-life legislation they did hear and pass keeps mother induced abortions legal through all nine months of pregnancy and allows surgical abortions to be performed on children conceived in rape/incest.
  • Utah – Pro-lifers are claiming a bill was signed to ban all abortion clinics. The truth is Utah’s four abortion clinics will have to file for a new type of license than the one they currently operate under by 2024. It also expanded abortion access by stating that abortions can now be preformed in hospitals in Utah.

Pro-Life Headlines

Kansas – Kansas has a bill to abolish abortion (HB2181), but instead of considering the bill, the pro-life legislature is choosing to work to pass the “Born Alive Infant Protection Act” even though it is already illegal to kill a born child in Kansas.
