5+ hour, 1+ min ago (566+ words) A hearing will be held into the actions of a retired pastor who held an open-air sermon on the fringes of an abortion clinic buffer zone. Clive Johnston, 76, has been accused of intentionally influencing a protected person, and for not immediately leaving the area when asked to do so by police. The service took place on a Sunday near the Causeway Hospital, Coleraine, Londonderry. Johnston preached about the love of God, taking John 3:16 as his primary verse, an action which could lead to him being fined thousands of pounds. His sermon made no mention of abortion, nor were there any banners or placards during the service mentioning the subject. The hearing could result in the immediate acquittal or conviction of Johnston, or may see his case referred to a higher court. Johnston is the former President of the Association of…...

11+ hour, 23+ min ago (403+ words) By Mark Swanson "|" Tuesday, 16 December 2025 07:19 PM EST Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., and his wife have launched an anti-abortion group in Missouri, a move that has put him crosswise with the Trump administration less than a year before the midterm elections. The nonprofit, known as the Love Life Initiative, plans to back pro-life ballot efforts and oppose pro-abortion ballot initiatives. "We believe there needs to be a strong voice advocating for life and making it easier to start a family," Hawley said in a statement. "That is fundamental to who we are as Americans and the future of our country. And it is how we will be judged as a society." He added, "This is a generational project, not just about the next election cycle." The launch, however, comes at a pivotal moment in Missouri, where voters are preparing for a…...

12+ hour, 1+ min ago (374+ words) For pro-life pregnancy centers and many religious healthcare professionals, this mandate'threatens to undermine'their work. These ministries exist to offer life-affirming care rooted in the belief that every person is made in the image of God.'But'Illinois'law'demands that they speak a message that contradicts their faith and the very purpose of their ministry. A group of pro-life pregnancy centers and doctors challenged the law in federal court. Earlier this year,'a'federal district court blocked the "benefits-discussion" requirement but left the referral mandate in place, and both sides appealed.'Becket'is asking'the'court to recognize that, in the Anglo-American'legal'tradition, freedom of speech began as freedom of religious speech.

13+ hour, 57+ min ago (464+ words) As Republicans in Congress debate whether to extend COVID-era health care premium tax credits, a prominent conservative organization is warning lawmakers not to abandon pro-life priorities. The Advancing American Freedom Foundation memorandum, entitled, "How Obamacare Subsidies Pay for Abortions" lays out a loophole in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare, which allows for taxpayer dollars to subsidize abortions. "While the legislative text of [Obamacare] says that an insurance plan "shall not use any amount attributable" to the federal tax credit to pay for abortion services, the legislation allows subsidies to fund plans that cover abortions," it reads. "As written today, D.C. and 25 states allow ACA plans to cover abortions" This state loophole makes the existing abortion funding restrictions toothless," it adds. Advancing American Freedom was founded by former Vice President Mike Pence. At the end of…...

14+ hour, 23+ min ago (577+ words) This analysis is adapted from content originally published on the Guttmacher Institute's website and their media alerts via email. There is no evidence to support the claim that medication abortion is'impacting'U.S. waterways,'nor the claims'that expelled tissue from abortion is a risk to the environment. In a disturbing new strategy, antiabortion policymakers are attempting to weaponize environmental laws and regulations, citing false claims that medication abortion pollutes U.S. waterways and drinking water. Equitable access to clean and safe drinking water is a central component of community safety and sustainability'and a key priority for both the environmental and reproductive justice movements. But these efforts by antiabortion policymakers do not target the known contaminants that make drinking water unsafe or their unequal burden on communities. This analysis will explore state and federal efforts designed to restrict access to medication abortion through environmental policy…...
