I was 28 weeks pregnant when I entered the small, windowless waiting room of the Washington Surgi-Clinic for my abortion appointment. I filled out paperwork and gave the front desk nurse $11,400 in cash. I asked if it was weird that I was paying in cash. She said it wasn’t. I took a seat alongside several other women.



I was nervous. But not because I was there for an abortion. I was undercover. It was January 2022, and I had agreed to partner with Live Action to secretly record my visit to this Washington clinic in hopes of showing people the true nature of late-term abortion. Live Action has investigated the Washington-Surgi clinic before and uncovered some horrifying truths.

In a victory for parents and children, the House of Representatives on Wednesday night approved a bipartisan tax relief plan to expand several credits, including the child tax credit.

The vote for the measure was 357-70. The measure would expand the child tax credit (CTC) to $3,600 per child form the current $2,000, a pro-life victory given that many people decide to not have children or consider abortions because of economic reasons.



Experts say the bill will give a substantial financial boost to parents with multiple kids at a time when the cost of raising a family has risen significantly due to persistent inflation. They say the bill provides a potential real-world “win” for helping low-income families provide for unplanned children.
