May 24, 2013 Terry McAuliffe Opposes Abortion Clinic Regulations Supported by Gosnell Attorney “Kermit Gosnell isn’t alone. More than 80 violations were discovered inside Virginia abortion facilities last year. Unsafe, unsanitary conditions – not to mention barbaric abortion practices – continue to be exposed nationwide. Shame on McAuliffe for refusing to join the General Assembly and Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli in standing up for Virginia women. Women deserve better than his extreme abortion ideology.” Read More

May 17, 2013 SBA List Calls on Congress to Enact Nationwide Protection of Babies Capable of Feeling Pain “As the nation grapples with the horrific details of the Kermit Gosnell trial and continually emerging evidence of the brutality of late-term abortion, we must have a conversation about where we step in to protect the rights of the most vulnerable,” said SBA List President Marjorie Dannenfelser. “Commentators from Kirsten Powers, to Cal Thomas – even pro-choice leaders like Frances Kissling – have agreed that a limit to late-term abortion is worth discussing. Compassion must lead us to draw a firm line to protect women and babies across the country from practices that are devastating to them and searing to our consciences. Read More

May 13, 2013 Justice Done? Kermit Gosnell is Not Alone “Legislation to ban late-term abortions in the nation’s capital, as well as the recent action taken to investigate abortion industry oversight across the country are the vital first steps. But Congress should not and must not stop there. The few inches that separate a child in the womb from a child outside the womb should never determine whether its intentional ‘demise’ is permitted by law or whether a ‘right’ to kill it no longer exists.” Read More
May 10, 2013 Poll: Americans Consistently and Overwhelmingly Opposed to Late-Term Abortion “Gallup asks whether views would shift if more Americans were aware of the Gosnell trial,” said Marjorie Dannenfelser, President of SBA List. “The answer is unequivocally yes. There has been no shortage of recent evidence exposing the abortion industry for negligence and brutality. Kermit Gosnell is only a pull on the thread of the sweater.” Read More
May 9, 2013 Congress Demands Answers about States’ Regulation of Abortion Industry Kermit Gosnell is the tip of the iceberg. Two former employees have blown the whistle on ‘meat market-style assembly line abortions’ at Planned Parenthood of Delaware. Hollywood-celebrated late-term abortionist Leroy Carhart has been caught on tape calling babies in the womb ‘meat in a crock pot.’ The inhumanity of the abortion industry has never been clearer and now it’s time for America to see how deep this lack of respect for life goes,” said Dannenfelser. “Leadership in investigation and oversight is encouraging and the vital first step. Congress must address the multi-state breakdown of oversight in the abortion industry as well as the barbarism of abortions performed on children capable of feeling pain and surviving outside the womb."

May 8, 2013 Video of “Celebrated” Late-Term Abortionist Leroy Carhart Reveals Abortion’s Inhumanity “The abortion lobby claims that the Gosnell clinic is an outlier, but the footage released this morning by Live Action reveals once more that the abortion industry treats women and children as mere pieces of meat. Leroy Carhart, the most visible and ‘celebrated’ of America’s late-term abortionists jokes about using pick axes and drill bits to pull apart the body of a child capable of surviving outside the womb. How is this different from the atrocities that occurred at Kermit Gosnell’s Women’s Medical Society in Philadelphia?" -- Marjorie Dannenfelser Read More
May 1, 2013 Pro-life Leaders Rally to Demand Protections for Women and Unborn in D.C. and Beyond “To be in considered a perinatal intensive care patient in Virginia – versus medical waste right across the Potomac. If this is not rank discrimination and unspeakable cruelty, what is? The nation’s capitol is a good place to begin in enacting lifesaving protections for unborn children. As the country’s attention turns to this matter, it is also the appropriate time for the Congress to address its role in protecting human rights for children around the time of their viability.” -- Marjorie Dannenfelser Read More
