Late-Term Abortions Result In Live Births

• Late-term abortion is an act so heinous, nearly all Americans are opposed to it. What you may not know, however, is the staggering number of late-term abortions that result in a live birth, a fact the abortion industry works tirelessly to conceal.

• For years, abortion advocates have engaged in an aggressive campaign of lies,
attempting to gaslight the public into believing these abortions do not occur. When outright denial fails, they offer morally bankrupt justifications for the killing of viable children in the later stages of pregnancy.

• A recent study, titled Second-Trimester Abortion and Risk of Live Birth, published in the pro-abortion American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecologists tells the shocking truth.

• Researchers examined 13,777 abortions performed between 15- and 29-weeks’ gestation and found that a staggering 1,541 resulted in a live birth. That means 11.2% of these babies were born alive—only to be left to die without medical intervention or outright killed.

• We know that nearly 36% of babies born at 22 weeks survive with proper care, and 82% survive at 25… weeks. Many of the babies born alive in these botched abortion attempts could have lived if only they had been provided the life-saving treatment they deserved. Instead, they were abandoned to die. Some babies even survive at 21 weeks.

• The abortion-friendly media plays its part in this nightmare, carefully avoiding stories of premature babies who survive and thrive. They ignore advances in neonatal care that continue to push the limits of viability earlier and earlier, instead perpetuating the lie that these children are not yet human, not yet worthy of protection.

• The reality of late-term abortion is not just a political issue—it is a human rights crisis. If we are to call ourselves a civilized society, we must confront this evil and demand justice for the most vulnerable among us.

Paris – Comments on Criminal Law Amendment Bill to repeal the Sexual Offenses Act.

• We observe that prostitution is neither sex nor work, but constitutes in itself a form of violence against women:

• The repetition of sexual acts without physical desire, but instead experienced as the consequence of financial need, inequality or as an exploitation of vulnerability, constitutes sexual violence in and of itself.

• The vast majority of prostituted persons have suffered from violence, often sexual, before entering prostitution. Most of them are also victims of many forms of violence while in prostitution (physical, verbal, sexual, psychological.

• There is no “free” and “forced” prostitution: in reality, the sexual act obtained by sex buyers is always coerced. Coerced either by physical coercion of traffickers and pimps, or by the socio-economic coercion that pushes the most vulnerable women and girls into prostitutes.

• There will be no equality between women and men as long as men think that they can buy access to women’s bodies. Prostitution is a part of a continuing patriarchal tradition of making women’s bodies available for men’s benefit.

• Prostitution is based on multiple forms of inequalities: men’s domination over women, rich over poor, North over South, majority groups over minorities. Women from minorities, poor, migrant and marginalized groups form nearly the totality of the prostituted persons in prostitution all over the world.

• These realities also apply to South Africa. By reframing prostitution as a form of work, by normalizing the endless exploitation of women’s bodies as an acceptable income alternative, the government is sending an extremely sad message to its most vulnerable population, in particular women: if you are marginalized, we have nothing better to offer than being exploited in prostitution.

USA- Recreational Marijuana Legalization and Workplace Injuries Among Younger Workers

A study by the department of economics from the universities of Wisconsin, San Diego state and Bentley, examines the relationship between the legalisation of recreational Cannabis and workplace injuries for workers aged 20-34. Since 2012, many US states have legalised recreational Cannabis, leading to increased adult use. The study’s findings suggest a concerning trend: states where recreational Cannabis sales are legal show a 10% increase in workplace injuries within this younger age group. This highlights the need for further research on the health and safety implications of Cannabis legalisation.

A cross sectional online survey on the reasons of detransitioning. (Germany)

In a sample of 237 participants, the large majority was female; 217 female (92%) for 20 male respondents (8%). Close to two thirds (65%) transitioned both socially and medically; 31% only socially. Out of the respondents who medically transitioned, 46% underwent gender affirming surgeries. Around half (51%) of the respondents started socially transitioning before the age of 18, and a quarter (25%) started medically transitioning before that age as well.
The most common reported reason for detransitioning was realized that the gender dysphoria was related to other issues (70%). The second one was health concerns (62%), followed by transition did not help the dysphoria (50%), found alternatives to deal with dysphoria (45%), unhappy with the social changes (44%), and change in political views (43%). At the very bottom of the list are: lack of support from social surroundings (13%), financial concerns (12%) and discrimination (10%).

Calls for Scotland to criminalise purchase of sex (UK)

CARE for Scotland is urging the Scottish government to push ahead with legislation that would target the demand side. It accused the Scottish government of “dragging its heels on the issue” and said it should follow the positive example of other countries like Sweden, Norway, Iceland and Canada that have already introduced similar laws penalising sex buyers. The Scottish government should take note of the “positive impact” of sex buyers’ laws in other countries where criminalising the purchase of sex while also mandating support for women who want to leave prostitution behind “ensures a deterrent to exploitation and help for the exploited”. said Michael Veitch of CARE [Christian Action Research and Education] “Claims by some that prostitution causes no harm to women have also been found to be an illusion. The Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe has been clear in this regard. To challenge trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation, we should make it a criminal offence to purchase sexual services and ensure that programmes are in place to support women to exit prostitution.

New study shatters a long-standing myth about pornography (USA)

Research done by some of the world’s top behavioural addiction experts found that not only porn addicts but also behavioural addicts disapprove of the addiction they are trying to get rid of. Previous studies pushed by Josh Grubbs, created a powerful flawed buzzword that porn problems are likely just due to religious shame or moral disapproval, implicating that porn addiction is not real. Grubbs summed up his views in an extraordinary 2016 Psychology Today article, claiming that porn addiction is nothing more than religious shame, and not related to levels of porn use.
Grubbs and his colleagues never investigated whether other behavioural addicts also experience moral disapproval toward the activity they’re trying to eliminate. Moral disapproval from within themselves is part and parcel of all other behaviour addicts.
This misleading trend has persuaded many sexologists and psychologists that porn addiction is a doubtful concept. They ignored the evidence suggesting that porn addiction is as real as gambling and gaming addiction.

Latest research done by Common Sense Media (USA)

Benenson Strategy Group (BSG) conducted a quantitative online survey on 1,358 teens aged 13 to 17 and released new porn statistics in January 2024.
They found that 73% of teen respondents aged 13 to 17 have watched pornography online. 15% of teen respondents said they first saw online pornography at age 10 or younger. More than half (54%) reported first seeing pornography by the time they reached the age of 13. 63% said they have only seen pornography accidentally. Pornography plays a larger role in LGBTQ+ teens. Two-thirds of LGBTQ+ teen respondents consumed pornography intentionally.
Nearly half (45%) of teen respondents said that they felt online pornography gives “helpful” information about sex.

Pornography and Its Impact on Adolescent/Teenage Sexuality (India)

Puberty – exposure to pornography accelerates sexual development and porn can function as a “role model” and provide normative counsel. Teenagers also interpret internet sex as real-world experiences.
Adolescence – pornography use links teenagers to early partnered sexual behaviour, more sexual partners, lower relationship satisfaction, and lower sexual satisfaction during adolescence. Pornography use also links them to aggressive behaviour in the classroom, sexually permissive attitudes and watching more hard corn porn containing rape and child sex. Exposure at a younger age makes individuals receptive to watching coercive or violent porn. Over time, adolescents experience embarrassment as a result of their interest in porn. This causes a decline in mental health and life satisfaction. Teenagers also experience an absence of emotional connection between consensual couples and boys are prone to display violent behaviour towards women.

National Council of the Order of Physicians and Non-Conventional Healthcare (France)

The French National Council of the Order of Physicians expresses concern over the rise of unconventional healthcare practices. In response to emerging issues, it has compiled a 88 pages report emphasizing the urgent need to address the dangers associated with these increasingly prevalent practices. Termed as “traditional,” “alternative,” or “complementary” medicine, they lack scientific recognition and are not part of physicians’ initial training. The Order is alarmed by the uncontrolled growth of these practices, attributing it to societal factors such as a strained healthcare system, societal distress, and distrust in healthcare professionals. The potential risks include illegal medical practices, therapeutic deviations, and sectarian concerns, posing a substantial public health issue.

Emergency Room Visits Increase with Increase Abortions (USA)

A longitudinal Cohort Study done from 1999 till 2015 shows that as abortions increase, so do the abortion-related Emergency Room (ER) visits, especially for chemical abortions. The study took data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services in 17 states that received state funding for abortions. Based on ICD9 codes (630-639, 634), all ER visits within 30 days after an abortion were analysed, including miscoded visits (e.g. classified as spontaneous abortion/miscarriage). From 1999 – 2015, surgical abortions increased by 560% (from 4479 to 29558), while chemical abortions increased by more than 4000% (from 352 in 2002 to 15279 in 2015). Abortion-related ER visits for surgical abortion increased by 315%, for chemical abortions it increased by 507%. ER visits within 30 days of a chemical abortion grew by more than 850%.
