"It was incredible for the lower court to have determined that the law cannot acknowledge that a 'pregnant woman has an existing relationship with that unborn human being' because some human beings are somehow not 'persons.'" ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/09/06/court-state-can-tell-pregnant-women-of-existing-relationship-with-baby/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/09/06/sd-abortionists-ordered-to-follow-disputed-informed-consent-law/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/09/06/sd-abortionists-ordered-to-follow-disputed-informed-consent-law/#comments Tue, 06 Sep 2011 10:23:46 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=112662 WorldNetDaily: "A child's life is worth more than Planned Parenthood's bottom line," said Steve H. Aden, senior counsel with the Alliance Defense Fund, which filed an amicus brief on behalf of the Family Research Council, CareNet, Heartbeat International and the National Institute of Family and Life Advocates. The key attorney on the case was Harold Cassidy, one of more than 2,000 lawyers in the ADF organization. "Planned Parenthood and other proponents of death work diligently to restrict the information mothers have about abortion and the life within them. It was incredible for the lower court to have determined that the law cannot acknowledge that a 'pregnant woman has an existing relationship with that unborn human being' because some human beings are somehow not 'persons.' The 8th Circuit rightly determined that it's perfectly constitutional to inform women of an undisputed biological fact," Aden said.

And it also cannot target pro-life centers for special sign requirements and fines while leaving speech by abortion clinics unregulated.” ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/06/10/pregnancy-center-battle-heats-up-across-u-s/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/01/17/the-lazy-slander-of-the-pro-life-cause/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/01/17/the-lazy-slander-of-the-pro-life-cause/#comments Mon, 17 Jan 2011 17:33:31 +0000 Admin http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=91686 writing at The Public Discourse: "One of the most frequently repeated canards of the abortion debate is that pro-lifers really don’t care about life . . . This lazy slander is as common as it is untrue . . . pro-lifers have taken the lead in offering vital services to mothers and infants in need . . .  It’s time the media takes notice . . .

NARAL, an abortion activist group, has launched an effort to harm pregnancy centers' ability to advertise their services online. In addition, abortion rights proponents in Congress, Rep. Carolyn Maloney and Sen. Robert Menendez, have re-introduced a bill that would direct the Federal Trade Commission to set up new rules to regulate pregnancy center advertising." | S.2793 - Stop Deceptive Advertising for Women's Services Act | Open Congress ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/07/07/maloney-bill-another-effort-by-abortion-industry-to-shut-down-competition/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/03/23/women-and-medical-professionals-ask-court-to-intervene-in-federal-case-to-protect-the-right-to-conscience/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/03/23/women-and-medical-professionals-ask-court-to-intervene-in-federal-case-to-protect-the-right-to-conscience/#comments Tue, 23 Mar 2010 17:04:27 +0000 Admin http://www.alliancealert.org/wordpress/?p=56377 ChristianNewsWire: "Representing Concerned Women for America, America's largest women's advocacy group and four other groups of pro-life medical professionals, attorneys with Advocates International filed a joint motion to lift stay and at last permit their intervention in three lawsuits commenced on January 15, 2009 that seek to invalidate a final federal regulation protecting medical professionals from discrimination because they refuse to participate in abortions . . .
