John, here is your weekly recap of Live Action News headlines, including fantastic news out of Kansas as they become the fourth state to pass a ‘Baby Olivia’ bill, newly released data from the Guttmacher Institute about abortion rates in 2024, and much more.

Kansas lawmakers override governor to pass prenatal education bill

One day after Kansas Democratic Governor Laura Kelly vetoed two bills, the state’s Republican lawmakers overrode her actions. The bills, which mandate the addition of prenatal development education in the state’s schools as well as child support for pregnant women, will soon take effect.

House Bill 2382 requires students in the state’s public schools to view a “presentation of a high-quality, computer-generated animation or high definition ultrasound of at least three minutes in duration that shows the development of the brain, heart and other vital organs in early human fetal development.” The video would be required in any class that discusses human growth, development or sexuality, like sex education and biology classes.

It’s time to DEFUND Planned Parenthood. Call your lawmakers today!

We have provided everything you’ll need to call your members of Congress and tell them that you do NOT want your tax dollars going to a corrupt organization that murders over 1,000 innocent preborn babies every day. Let’s stand together and declare in one loud voice: “Defund Planned Parenthood NOW!”

I’LL CALL MY LAWMAKERS

Does a new report show stabilizing abortion numbers since the end of Roe?

The Guttmacher Institute’s Monthly Abortion Provision Study for 2024 shows “1,038,100 clinician-provided abortions in states without total abortion bans in 2024, an increase of less than 1% from 2023.” Planned Parenthood’s former “special affiliate” and research arm claimed that “[t]he overall stability in the number of abortions in states without total bans continued despite shifts in policy that have increased obstacles to accessing this care in many states.”

Does this mean that the increase in abortion numbers is beginning to stabilize since the end of Roe v. Wade? Maybe — but maybe not. As Guttmacher notes, its new figures are an underestimate.
