Wade, new pro-life action in the U.S. Congress has been championed by two leading pro-life members, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Congressman Chris Smith (R-NJ).  Together, they have reintroduced the Protecting Pain-Capable Unborn Children from Late-Term Abortions Act, which would protect unborn children at 15 weeks, a point by which science shows that the unborn child is capable of experiencing great pain when killed ...

What is the Stealth Right-to-Abortion Amendment? The Stealth Right-to-Abortion Amendment is the pro-abortion Equal Rights Amendment (ERA).   VSHL calls it the Stealth Right-to-Abortion Amendment because the pro-abortion forces behind the amendment always deny that it has anything to do with abortion. The Equal Rights Amendment is a constitutional amendment that Congress proposed in 1972, before the Supreme Court legalized abortion in Roe v. Wade (Jan. 1973). The ERA had a 7-year ratification deadline that ...

Pro-Abortion Money from Out of State Buys Virginia’s Election

In a very sad turn of events, despite a hard-scrabble ground game organized by Virginia Society for Human Life (VSHL) and other pro-life groups in the Commonwealth---built on the donations of average citizens---abortion proponents won new seats in the House and Senate giving them control of the General Assembly.    Sadly, several Republican seats were lost in the Senate giving pro-abortion candidates control there too.
