VITERBO UNIVERSITY TO "SIGNIFICANTLY CURTAIL" PRO-LIFE ACTIVITIES ON CAMPUS: (Pro-Life Wisconsin) – "Viterbo University’s blatant censorship of V-Hawks for Life is just another attack on pro-life student groups to intimidate and silence their efforts to speak out against the injustice of abortion, end the violence perpetuated by the abortion industry, and establish equal rights for all preborn children. All from a Catholic University, no less. It is long past time for these institutions to reclaim their Catholic identity and boldly profess the teachings of the Catholic faith, the Gospel of Life, without apology." Read the full story here.

GOP LEGISLATIVE LEADERS: LAWSUIT CHALLENGING ABORTION BAN FILED AGAINST WRONG PEOPLE: (Wisconsin State Journal) – "Courts should dismiss a lawsuit against Republican legislative leaders that seeks to challenge Wisconsin’s 1849 abortion ban because, while they make the law, legislators don’t enforce it, their attorneys said in a court filing Monday. The lawsuit also improperly asks the court to rule on the law based not on an actual conflict but the ‘speculative possibility’ that it might one day be enforced, ‘a hypothetical controversy not ripe for the Court’s resolution.’" Read the full story here.

TEXAS JUDGE BLOCKS BIDEN ADMINISTRATION GUIDANCE REQUIRING ER DOCTORS TO COMMIT ABORTIONS: (LifeSiteNews) – "A Texas federal judge blocked the Biden administration’s HHS guidance requiring that emergency room doctors in pro-life states perform abortions. In a 67-page ruling handed down Tuesday night, U.S. District Judge James Hendrix, a Trump appointee, temporarily halted enforcement of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)’s guidance that would require Texas doctors to perform abortions in ‘emergency medical situations,’ despite the fact that the Lone Star State has outlawed the practice.’" Read the full story here.
