Lila Rose, founder of Live Action, criticizes the Democratic National Convention’s embrace of abortion and the presence of a Planned Parenthood mobile clinic offering free abortions and vasectomies. She argues that this promotes a culture of death and trivializes the value of human life.
A South Carolina judge has denied a motion filed by Planned Parenthood to weaken the state’s six-week abortion ban. Judge Daniel Coble ruled against the reproductive health care organization’s request for a preliminary injunction that would have extended the abortion restriction to nine weeks. The decision was hailed by pro-life advocates, who expressed confidence that the state would remain a refuge for unborn children. Planned Parenthood has indicated that it may appeal the ruling, but proponents of the 2023 law are optimistic about its continued enforcement.
A Republican faction in the Missouri Senate ended a lengthy filibuster on Thursday, allowing a vote on a $4 billion Medicaid program. The measure, which needs a second vote of approval, will renew a tax on hospitals and other medical providers to draw down federal funding for low-income Medicaid recipients. The vote followed a standoff between the Freedom Caucus, a GOP faction, and Senate leadership. The Freedom Caucus had been blocking the tax vote as leverage to pressure the passage of a bill to remove Planned Parenthood from the state’s Medicaid program and a constitutional amendment to raise the threshold for passing future amendments.
John Sauer, a lawyer arguing Donald Trump’s presidential immunity case, generated significant controversy when he asserted that a president could not be prosecuted if he were to order the assassination of a political rival — unless he were first impeached and convicted. The former solicitor general of Missouri, Sauer is no stranger to the Supreme Court or to controversy. He has filed many briefs before the high court in his role with the Missouri attorney general’s office — including one pressing justices to toss out the 2020 election results in key swing states. Sauer has also been involved in an anti-abortion case that created a national firestorm, and has used the power of public office to attack reproductive rights and Planned Parenthood.
