OUTRAGE: Far-Left NJ Gov. Mikie Sherrill Signs Draconian Law That Will Effectively Block People from Praying Outside Abortion Centers

The radical Left’s relentless war on religious freedom and the unborn has reached a terrifying new level in New Jersey.

Far-left Governor Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ) signed sweeping legislation Thursday that creates harsh new criminal and civil penalties for alleged “interference” with abortion and transgender medical procedures.

Pro-life leaders warn the measure could be weaponized to frighten Christians and sidewalk counselors away from peacefully praying outside abortion facilities.

Sherrill signed S2260/A2218, which creates a new criminal offense called “interference with reproductive health care services.”

The Democrat governor claimed the legislation was necessary to protect abortionists and their patients.

“We have seen attacks from the Trump Administration and other states on access to reproductive and gender affirming healthcare, and attempts to impose restrictions across state borders. Here in New Jersey, we are standing firm in defense of reproductive freedoms – including the right to choose and the right to receive gender-affirming care,” Sherrill said in an official statement.

“No one should fear intimidation or violence for seeking healthcare, and no healthcare professional should fear punishment from another state for providing care that is legal in New Jersey. With this legislation, we are making clear that New Jersey will protect patients, providers, and the fundamental freedom to make personal healthcare decisions.”

WHO WANTS TO TELL HER? Celebrity Dimwit Chelsea Handler Warns AG Todd Blanche Will Overturn Roe v. Wade

Celebrity and alleged comedian Chelsea Handler recently proclaimed that if confirmed, Attorney General Todd Blanche will overturn Roe. v. Wade.

Handler made the comments during an appearance on the Pivot podcast with leftist commentator Kara Swisher.

First of all, Blanche has already been confirmed, but perhaps this was recorded before that happened. More important, is the fact that the Dobbs case, which went before the United States Supreme Court resulted in the overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022.

How could Handler possibly not know this?

Mediaite reports:

Comedienne Chelsea Handler was roasted by the right after she fretted on a recent podcast about Attorney General Todd Blanche overturning Roe v Wade — despite the Supreme Court already doing so in 2022.

Handler joined Kara Swisher on her Pivot podcast in an episode released on Friday, and during a discussion about Joe Rogan and right-leaning podcasters, Handler shared her concerns about Blanche, who was recently confirmed in his role as attorney general.

Handler said about Blanche:

We’re gonna get Todd Blanche. He’s gonna be confirmed and what’s he — he’s gonna overturn Roe v Wade. We’re all sitting around, all these men who have these powerful platforms are sitting around and watching this happen to women, to communities that you could instead be supporting. You don’t have to, like, turn over a whole new leaf, it’s just about being a decent human being.

Democrat Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey Signs Bill Legalizing Abortion Throughout Pregnancy

Democrat Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey signed a bill on Monday that legalizes abortions in the state throughout the duration of pregnancy.

The bill, called “An Act Prioritizing Patient Access to Care” or H.5595, ultimately allows unborn babies to be aborted throughout pregnancy and strikes down the state’s current 24-week limit, which had exceptions for the life of the mother and a deadly fetal diagnosis. Under the bill, doctors have the discretion to decide whether or not to perform a late-term abortion.

“Today, mothers and fathers and families who experience these devastating diagnoses — and they are devastating, heartbreaking — now they’ll be able to make their own choices,” Healey said, according to a WCVB report.

“I promise that no matter what Donald Trump or Republicans in Congress or the Supreme Court does, we’re going to continue to make sure that women and families have access to the health care that they need right here in Massachusetts,” Healey said during the signing ceremony.

Massachusetts joins Alaska, Vermont, Oregon, New Mexico, Colorado, Minnesota, Michigan, Maryland, New Jersey, and Washington, DC, in allowing unborn babies to be aborted throughout the entire pregnancy.

The bill passed the Democrat-dominated state House and Senate last month. 

“It’s a very sad day in the commonwealth of Massachusetts,” Republican state Rep. Alyson Sullivan-Almeida said at the time. “The precedent that we’re setting is that a mother can get an abortion up until the moment of birth for a healthy, viable baby.” 

SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser mourned the news of the governor’s signature on the radical bill. 

“It should shock the conscience that tens of thousands of unborn Americans are barbarically dismembered limb by limb and torn apart every single year. Sadly, that number will only increase with Gov. Healey’s approval of the Abortion Up Until Birth Bill,” Dannenfelser said in a statement. “The GOP must abandon the ‘leave it to the states’ position — a stance that permits egregious late-term abortion laws like this one — and advance national protections for unborn children. Without a minimum national standard, the United States remains 1 of only 8 countries worldwide that allows abortion at any point in pregnancy. We must do all we can to turn the page on America’s ugly chapter of late-term abortion.”

Planned Parenthood Comes Up With Sick New Euphemism for Abortion

One of the left’s favorite fronts to fight the culture war is language.

They have seen great success in sowing confusion and disharmony by manipulating words, distorting words from their original meaning, and striking words from the vernacular deemed offensive or politically incorrect.

A new development on that front comes from the pro-abortion organization Planned Parenthood.

It was not bad enough that this is arguably the most prominent advocate and culprit in carrying out child murder in history. They now have a more benign term for doing it.

On Monday, the Planned Parenthood official page on social media platform Facebook posted a message which reads, “Reproductive freedom means every person gets to decide what’s right for their own body. No exceptions.”

An image was also posted saying, “Abortion is gender-affirming care.”

That’s certainly a new one. “Gender-affirming care” usually relates to bodily harm done to people — who are often mentally ill — believing they are members of the opposite sex.

Among those practices are barbaric procedures like double mastectomies or outright genital mutilation.

How does Planned Parenthood believe this euphemism relates to child murder?

The rhetoric from abortionists seeks to empower women. Are women affirming their gender by killing their children? To try to understand the message is to try to understand madness.

The comments are highly critical of the organization.

One Facebook user asked, “What does that even mean?”

NIH Used Aborted Babies for Coronavirus Research Under Fauci’s Leadership

The left is incapable of owning abortion and the results of it despite championing it, Shawn Carney, President of 40 Days For Life, said during an appearance on Breitbart News Daily, discussing the gruesome reality of aborted babies being used for coronavirus research.

Host Mike Slater played a clip of Sen. Joni Erst (R-IA) laying out the grueling reality of what happened during the coronavirus as the National Institutes of Health (NIH) used aborted babies for research.

“Researchers also used aborted baby body parts in mice research, and taxpayers paid for them to do that. NIH-funded coronavirus researcher Dr. Ralph Baric and his colleagues at UNC put parts of livers, thymuses, and chunks of human fetal lung that they got from aborted, almost five-month-old human babies. They put those parts in their research mice,” Ernst said during Fauci’s hearing before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs last week.

“They disgustingly named them BLTL mice and wrote they had created a quote sandwich of aborted body parts in the mice. Get it, folks? BLT. A BLT sandwich. Your RML lab employees in Montana also ordered and used aborted baby body parts in their taxpayer-funded research, and emails show how they plan to use those mice for post-COVID work,” she continued.

“NIH funded putting aborted babies’ fingers and scalps off the heads of aborted babies and putting them into the backs of research mice. The scalps later grew fine baby hair in the mice. They even included those disgusting photos in their research paper that you funded. Not all of those were research on coronaviruses, but some were. Thankfully, the current NIH director has said no more of this,” she said.

“Trump banned aborted medical research using aborted babies. Dr. Fauci, yes or no? Do you think that human aborted parts should be put into mice for coronavirus research?” Ernst asked, as Fauci refused to answer.

“It is so much wrong,” Carney said, noting that President Trump banned the use of aborted babies in medical research earlier this year.

“So the HHS did that. … I was at their press conference, and not only did they cite how immoral it is, obviously, but they also cited that it’s not even needed with the medical advancement that that we have today. So Trump, you know, banned this sort of behind the scenes, but it was definitely going on, you know, in this context. And God bless Joni for you know holding Fauci’s feet to the fire,” he said, observing that the left is absolutely incapable of embracing the reality of what they support.

“This is the problem with the left. Why doesn’t he just say, “Look, abortion kills a baby, and yeah, we use the the body parts for research, for the common good. You know, why don’t think just own it?” he asked. “The left will never just own abortion, and you know they clearly didn’t in this case, and it’s hard to watch.”

When asked for the justification for this barbaric practice, Carney said they cite “vaccine use.”

“…which is where we got the flu shot from an aborted baby in the late 1930s,” he said. “It’s that it has cells that only we have, and they can be used and harvested to advance either a vaccine or some kind of medication. But back then, it was – the baby was already aborted. It wasn’t aborted for this purpose. That’s sort of like an end of the weeds, you know, argument. But yeah, that’s what it was used for. And now we don’t need those, you know, sort of human cells in certain vaccines.”

‘Shared Mission’: Pope Leo XIV Meets with Radical Pro-Abortion Rocker Patti Smith

On Friday, Pope Leo XIV met with radical rocker Patti Smith in a meeting a Vatican official described as a ‘shared mission,’ even as Smith makes it clear publicly that she is not even Catholic.

Smith, who originally hails from Chicago like the pontiff, is a radical, pro-abortion, pro-LGBT punk rock star who made her mark in the 1970’s.

Among the lyrics she became famous for is the opening line from the song “Gloria” from her 1975 debut album Horses, which states, “Jesus died for somebody’s sins, but not mine.”

Smith has been a vocal supporter of abortion, something that the Vatican did not seem bothered by in their celebration of her private audience with Leo.

During a press conference in 2018, Smith made statements supporting legal access to abortion, framing it as a complex personal matter where protecting women’s lives takes priority over ideology and as a ‘healthcare’ issue.

She said at the time, “It is a personal matter, and each one has to do what seems right to them. I believe it is more important to save the lives of young women, or of any person who makes this type of decision, than to base the decision on any type of ideology.”

Following the U.S. Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade, she described the decision as “terrible.”

Massachusetts Senate Passes Bill to Allow Late-Term Abortions, Sends to Governor’s Desk

The Democrat-dominated Massachusetts state Senate passed a late-term abortion bill on Friday and sent it to Gov. Maura Healey’s (D) desk for approval. 

The bill, called “An Act Prioritizing Patient Access to Care” or H.5595, would ultimately allow unborn babies to be aborted throughout pregnancy in the state and would strike down the state’s current 24-week limit, which has exceptions for the life of the mother and a deadly fetal diagnosis. Under the bill, doctors would have the discretion to decide whether or not to perform a late-term abortion, the Washington Post reported. 

“While this legislation prioritizes access, it does not prioritize a woman’s safety,” Myrna Maloney Flynn, president of Massachusetts Citizens for Life, said in a video encouraging supporters to tell lawmakers to vote against the bill. 

If Healey signs the law, Massachusetts will become one of nearly a dozen places in the U.S. that allows abortions throughout pregnancy. Alaska, Vermont, Oregon, New Mexico, Colorado, Minnesota, Michigan, Maryland, New Jersey, and Washington, DC, have no gestational limits on abortion, according to Abortion Finder. 

The state House passed the bill last week 119-33. State Rep. Alyson Sullivan-Almeida (R) said after the vote that it was a “very sad day in the commonwealth of Massachusetts.” 

“The precedent that we’re setting is that a mother can get an abortion up until the moment of birth for a healthy, viable baby,” Sullivan-Almeida said.

“This is a significant change to the law to expand what is already an extremely progressive abortion policy in Massachusetts,” state Rep. Joseph McKenna (R) added at the time.

Planned Parenthood Dropping $47 Million Bomb on Midterms in Attempt to Protect Their Taxpayer Funding

Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider, has announced a massive $47 million political spending spree through its Super PAC, Planned Parenthood Votes, aimed directly at trying to flip vulnerable Republican seats in the 2026 midterm elections.

This near-record investment, second only to the $50 million the group dumped into the 2022 cycle, represents a calculated effort to target lawmakers who supported efforts to cut off federal Medicaid funding to the organization last year.

As detailed in reporting from The Hill, the funds will fuel ads, voter outreach, and mobilization in battleground House districts across Arizona, California, Colorado, Iowa, Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, while also targeting key Senate contests, including Michigan, where Democrats hope to challenge former GOP Representative Mike Rogers, and potentially Maine.

The money bomb announcement came just days after the expiration of a one-year provision in President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act that had temporarily barred Planned Parenthood from receiving Medicaid reimbursements for non-abortion services.

That measure, signed into law last year, had forced the closure or consolidation of dozens of clinics and cut off hundreds of millions in federal dollars, proving once and for all that the organization heavily relies on taxpayer dollars, despite its primary role being performing hundreds of thousands of abortions annually.

With the ban now lifted as of early July, Planned Parenthood has regained access to those funds and is channeling significant resources into ensuring pro-abortion politicians regain or maintain power to protect and expand that pipeline.

Planned Parenthood Votes Executive Director Sarah Standiford framed the effort as an “existential moment” where voters must “take back our right to decide, our lives and our future state by state.”

California’s $20 Million Attempt To Silence Medical Speech

In a trial set to begin June 24, California’s Attorney General Rob Bonta is asking a court to do something that should alarm every American, regardless of where they stand on abortion: punish nonprofit organizations with ruinous fines for speaking about a lawful medical treatment.

The target is not fraud. These charities offer their services for free.

It is not patient harm. There is no evidence of any patient being harmed.

It is not even illegal conduct. The underlying treatment remains perfectly legal.

The target is speech.

Heartbeat International and Real Options are pro-life nonprofits that provide information and care to women who first take the abortion drug but regret that choice and want to continue their pregnancies. California wants to impose penalties approaching $20 million because these charities have dared to tell women that another option may exist.

Twenty million dollars. That number alone should tell us what this case is really about.

No reasonable observer can believe that bankrupting charities is a proportionate response to truthful and non-misleading statements about a free service designed to help a woman exercise her constitutional right to continue her pregnancy. This is not consumer protection. It is political warfare conducted through the machinery of a government that wishes to silence speech it does not like.

What’s most remarkable is what California cannot prove.

After years of investigation, subpoenas, discovery, and litigation, the attorney general has failed to identify a single woman harmed by APR treatment. Not one. No parade of victims. No evidence of widespread deception. He set up a website practically begging for complaints and still could not muster a single woman claiming she was misled or harmed.

Instead, seven women have publicly shared the stories of how Heartbeat International and Real Options helped them successfully reverse their abortions. Three mothers are slated to testify from the stand about their joy at reversing their unwanted abortions.

Still, the state asks the court to punish the very charities who helped these women continue their wanted pregnancies simply because government lawyers disagree with their viewpoint on the scientific evidence regarding APR.

That is a dangerous precedent.

Scientific disagreement is not fraud. If it were, much of modern medicine would not exist. Medical consensus is not handed down from on high. It evolves. Researchers debate. Physicians challenge prevailing views. Studies are published, criticized, replicated, and revised.

The proper response to disputed science is more debate, more research, and more evidence – not government censorship backed by eight-figure penalties.

Yet that is precisely what California seeks.

MSNOW Senior Washington Correspondent Thinks Abortion and Trans Kids Are ‘Kitchen Table Issues’

Eugene Daniels is the senior Washington correspondent for MSNOW and he has a rather untraditional take on what the term ‘kitchen table issues’ means to most people.

During a recent segment about the Democrat autopsy of the 2024 election, Daniels was asked what he thinks Democrats should do going forward.

Daniels suggested that it is possible for Democrats to continue embracing identity politics while also talking about things like abortion and trans kids, which he goes on to suggest are kitchen table issues.

Someone needs to clue him in that for the vast majority of the country, those are not actually kitchen table issues.

NewsBusters reported:

Eugene Daniels Says Dems Should Focus On Kitchen Table Issues Like Trans Kids

Even by the low standards of MS NOW, senior Washington correspondent Eugene Daniels’s Thursday appearance on Chris Jansing Reports was a stellar example of how not to do journalism. Daniels’s title suggests that the network views him as a reporter, but he decided to go full activist. According to him, Democrats need “to be more comfortable with power” and that the party needs to focus more on “kitchen table issues,” which he somehow defined as abortion and gender transitioning children.

Reacting to the DNC’s autopsy, Jansing read a portion aloud that suggested Democrats’ problem is that they are just too smart for the electorate, “They claim Republicans are just better at politics. Quote, ‘At times it seems Democrats are trying to win arguments while Republicans are focused on winning elections. Democrats operate in an ecosystem defined by reason, even in cycles when the electorate is defined by rage.’ What should Democrats do with that?”…

Usually, kitchen table issues mean things like the jobs or the cost of living, but Daniels took an extremely broad definition:

When you talk about whether or not people can have access to healthy abortions—safe abortions, that is a kitchen table issue, right? Whether or not a trans kid can get the services they need, that is a kitchen table issue for families. So, it’s about crafting the message in a way that actually gets to the point that Chuck and a lot of other folks say, which is people look at the money leaving their pockets, they look at the party in power, they want some change, and they’re willing to flirt with candidates and with parties they haven’t been before.
