Here's Your Monday Update

ABORTION CENTER REOPENING IN MILWAUKEE

This last Thursday, I (Dan Miller) got a call from a great pro-lifer, Mr. Pickles. He was on Milwaukee’s East Side and noticed they had taken down all the realtor signs from the front window at Affiliated Medical Services (1428 N Farwell Ave), the abortion center that closed in 2022 following Dobbs. . . I tried to call their old phone number but got the age-old recording with the screeching computer noise that this number is disconnected. Their website was not updated at that time and still had the permanently closed message up on the front page.

A lot has changed in five days. . . Read more here

FLORIDA LAWS AFFIRM UNBORN CHILDREN HAVE LEGAL RIGHTS: (LifeNews.com, by Liberty Counsel) – “Last week, after arguing at the Florida Supreme Court against a proposed deceptive and misleading abortion amendment, Liberty Counsel filed a supplemental authority with the Court regarding how Florida’s laws affirm the legal rights of an ‘unborn child.’ During the oral argument on February 7, Chief Justice Carlos Muñiz noted that Article I, Section 2 of the Florida Constitution protects the rights of a ‘natural person,’ and he asked if the ballot summary should apprise voters of how the proposed abortion amendment could impact this section if ‘natural person’ also included the unborn.

ACTOR KEVIN JAMES CONDEMNS EUTHANASIA: “ONLY GOD PULLS THE PLUG ON ME”: (LifeNews.com, by Bobby Schindler, Terri Schiavo Life & Hope Network) – “Kevin James, a Hollywood actor/comedian, recently came to the defense of the medically targeted, condemning the language used to justify killing these innocents. In his new Amazon Prime stand-up comedy special ‘Irregardless,’ James tells the story of a comatose mother who is about to be euthanized by her family by removing her life support, but to their surprise, she wakes up. […] James finished by asserting that if he were ever in a similar condition, he would want continued care, insisting that only God can determine when his life will end.” Read the full op-ed here.

CONGRESS CALLS FOR INVESTIGATION INTO POTENTIAL FEDERAL CRIMES IN ‘DC FIVE’ ABORTION CASE: (LifeSiteNews) – “Republican Congressman Chip Roy of Texas and other members of the House of Representatives held a press conference Wednesday at the Capitol demanding that a full investigation into the deaths of five late-term aborted babies, called the ‘DC five’ by pro-lifers, be conducted and justice rendered should it come to light that federal crimes were committed by abortionist Cesare Santangelo. The press conference came a week after the Department of Justice indicated to the Washington, D.C., medical examiner that the government had ‘no interest’ in preserving fetal remains of the five babies or conducting autopsies, which could prove that the federal crimes of infanticide and partial birth abortion were committed.” Read the full story here.

WOMAN FINDS HOPE AND HEALING AFTER ‘HORRIFIC’ CHEMICAL ABORTION: Live Action) – “Marnie Bello had always been a good Christian girl, and she came from a staunchly religious home where sex wasn’t discussed. At 16, she began dating a boy from church, and the couple married five years later. When the young woman became pregnant soon after marrying, she sought prenatal care, not suspecting her naïveté and innocence would be used by Planned Parenthood most egregiously.
