Foundation to Abolish Abortion Publishes New Report

The Foundation to Abolish Abortion published a new report titled, “Babies Unprotected:
An Analysis of Self-Managed Abortion Numbers in States with ‘Bans‘”.

This report was providentially released the same week that the Charlotte Lozier Institute (the research arm of the Susan B.

Abolition Resolution Passes at North Carolina Baptist Convention, Fails in Missouri

A group of nearly 30 abolitionists partnered with Abolish Abortion North Carolina this week at the North Carolina Baptist Convention. Their resolution on Equal Protection was passed unanimously by the messengers. Coverage on the resolution passing can be found here and here.

Abolish Abortion Missouri also put forth an Equal Protection Resolution that had to be voted out by the messengers after the resolutions committee chose not to bring it forward. This means the resolution was able to be discussed on the floor, but it ultimately failed to receive the 2/3rds vote needed to pass. A recap concerning the resolution was recorded by Adam Cochrun and can be found here.
