Advocacy groups in the United Kingdom (UK) are calling on the government to tighten laws surrounding commercial surrogacy due to a surrogacy business’s alleged unethical practices.

The Albuquerque-based pro-life consortium LifeMinistriesUS recently began the billboard campaign in Texas to combat abortion tourism.

An emergency services dispatcher has helped deliver premature twins over the phone who were born within just six minutes of their parents calling for an ambulance. Last summer, Chance Chipman, an emergency services dispatcher, received a call that he had always hoped would happen. His day was proceeding normally when Matt Harris called, saying that his wife was pregnant with twins and that they would not be able to make it to the hospital in time. Matt and his wife Mary were packing to go to the hospital when she told him that the babies were coming.

To create a safe space for men and women hurt by abortion to come together and heal, Brown launched a social media ministry she named Living UnderNeath Abortion (“LUNA”) which provides resources on Instagram and Facebook channels. She advises women facing unplanned pregnancies to slow down and carefully consider their options. “Get counseling from someone who isn’t going to benefit from your abortion,” Brown said. “I have not yet met a single woman who regretted giving birth to their child — even those who placed their babies for adoption — but I have met many women who have suffered greatly from the pain of abortion.”
