The proposed Reproductive Health Act would: Eliminate the requirement that abortions be performed only by licensed physicians; Take abortion-related crimes off...

A Client Story A 35 year old woman came in on the last day of July for a pregnancy test. She has 3 children and is going through a divorce but still trying to make her marriage work.

The Report No One Is Talking About After they were eventually shamed into covering the Kermit Gosnell trial many in the media admitted they should have covered it earlier and more vigorously. Some of the more honest journalists and outlets also admitted they had not reported on it because of their biases and reluctance to write about a story that shines a negative spotlight on abortion. But that was then and this is now, they said. We will do better next time, they promised. Well the next time has arrived and passed and the media has again...
