Woman Power at the Capitol!

Recently, some of the female members of the pro-life caucuses of both the Pennsylvania House of Representatives and the Senate got together for an historic photograph.

We thank these bold leaders for standing up for life! And we thank members who were unable to attend because of prior commitments, such as State Rep. Kate Klunk (R-York County) and State Rep. Valerie Gaydos (R-Allegheny County), who sent along their best wishes. We are grateful for the female legislators who work to empower pregnant women and to save the lives of the most vulnerable Pennsylvanians.

Iowa Abortions Decline, 432 Babies Saved Even Though State Hasn't Banned Abortions Yet

Hundreds of unborn babies have been saved from abortion in Iowa in the past year even though the killing practice is still legal in the state. A new report from the pro-abortion Society of Family Planning shows an average of 48 fewer abortions per month from April 2022 to December 2022 in Iowa, according to Axios. That amounts to about 432 babies saved from abortion.

A spokesperson for Planned Parenthood in Iowa, Sheena Dooley confirmed the drop to Axios. She blamed a new state pro-life law that requires a 24-hour waiting period between informed consent counseling and the abortion.

LIFE STORY

As many companies incentivize employee abortions, one offers something totally different

While many companies have opted for a full-throated embrace of abortion advocacy in the wake of the overturning of Roe v. Wade, with many going so far as to pay for employee abortions or abortion-related travel expenses, one business is going in the opposite direction.

Michael Seifert, CEO and founder of PublicSq (pronounced “Public Square”), recently announced a new company policy offering employees a $5,000 bonus for the birth of a new baby or an adoption.

The The Diving Bell and the Butterfly

Jean Dominique Bauby was at the top of his game in the mid-1990s. As editor-in-chief of Elle magazine, he was one of the most respected names in the fashion industry. In 1995, when he was 43 years old, an unforeseen massive stroke took all of that away from him.
