LIFECHAIN EVENTS THIS SUNDAY, OCTOBER 6!
|
 |
|
This year in 1,600 towns and cities across the U.S. and Canada, hundreds of thousands of Pro-Life people will gather to pray along main streets on Sunday, October 6, 2024.
The LifeChain breaks no laws and can be done by both young and old alike. It is a simple yet effective way for all those who call on the name of the Lord to show that they are opposed to the killing of babies. LifeChainers simply stand along the roadside, peacefully and prayerfully, for 1 1/2 - 2 hours on a Sunday afternoon holding a sign. View locations in the flyer below or visit: milwaukeelifechain.org and www.lifechain.net.

HARRIS BACKS ENDING FILIBUSTER FOR ABORTION RIGHTS LEGISLATION:
(Politico) – “Kamala Harris is calling for changes to Senate procedure to pass federal legislation protecting abortion rights. Harris voiced support for ending the 60-vote threshold needed to advance most legislation in the Senate, commonly known as the filibuster, during an interview with Wisconsin Public Radio that aired [last] Tuesday. […] Harris has for months promised that she would sign legislation codifying Roe v. Wade’s protections in federal law but had yet as a presidential nominee to specifically weigh in on whether she supports an exception to the filibuster to do so.”

The judge’s preliminary injunction consolidates this legal challenge under his previous ruling from August 2024 that temporarily blocked New York Attorney General Letitia James from targeting 51 other pro-life pregnancy centers for promoting that an abortion in progress can be safely reversed. ”

AUTOPSY REPORT OF CANDI MILLER, WHO DIED AFTER TAKING ABORTION PILL, RAISES CRUCIAL QUESTIONS: (Live Action) – “The abortion pill death of a 41-year-old
pregnant woman in Georgia has been blamed on pro-life laws – but a review of the autopsy report of Candi Miller provides more questions than answers. Miller allegedly ordered abortion pills online from the international virtual dispensary Aid Access. Details of her case were first reported by ProPublica, with the outlet quickly blaming Georgia’s pro-life laws for her death [...] Live Action News reached out to the Clayton County Medical Examiner’s Office (ME) to obtain a copy of Miller’s autopsy, the investigative report, and death certificate, among other documents.”
