A prominent South Korean bioethicist delivered a detailed and data-rich warning at an April 11 colloquium in Seoul, arguing that abortion — particularly medication abortion — has been deliberately transformed from a medical and ethical issue into a profit-driven industrial system, with pharmaceutical companies, distributors, and policy lobbying groups all benefiting financially at women’s expense.

Dr. Jang Ji-young, secretary general of the Seongsan Institute for Bioethics and a physician at Ewha Womans University Seoul Hospital, presented her findings to the institute’s April colloquium at Yongsan Station. She argued that large abortion providers are expanding through chain business models to achieve economies of scale, while pharmaceutical companies maximize profits through telemedicine and mail-order systems that minimize labor costs and bypass geographic limitations.

According to National Review, the study was published in the Journal of American Medical Association. Researchers calculated quarterly maternal mortality rates from every state and Washington, D.C. for every year from 2018 to 2023. They looked at over 22 million births and examined 12,000 pregnancy related deaths.

The research found that maternal mortality was decreasing in states with strong pro-life laws. In fact, the maternal mortality rate declined faster in these states than in those with lenient abortion policies.

A pro-lifer says lawmakers are trying to prevent the federal government from getting specific information about things such as abortion.

Under a bill the California Legislature may soon approve, medical providers and affiliated businesses could face hefty state fines if they comply with a federal subpoena seeking information about abortion.

It is incredibly frustrating to see so many on the Right obsess over these multiplying crises while steadfastly avoiding the issue of abortion. Mass migration; Islamization; the strained social welfare systems creaking under the weight of an aging population supported by fewer and fewer young people; the inevitable euthanasia proposals to cynically thin out top-heavy family trees—all of this comes down, in part, to the fact that we are not having babies. Worse, we are killing millions of babies every single year. Luxury infanticide.

A previously healthy man took his own life last year after developing a “romantic relationship” with Google’s AI chatbot, Gemini, a new lawsuit alleges.
Joel Gavalas filed a wrongful death suit against Google last month on behalf of his son, Jonathan, who committed suicide on October 2, 2025.

Thousands of pro-life supporters marched through Prague on April 11 for the Czech Republicʼs yearly March for Life, an event that attracted both police sanctions and counter-protests. The event highlighted both the rising visibility of the Czech pro-life movement and the increasingly heated public battle over abortion in Central Europe.

The committee that oversees euthanasia, or Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD), is planning to expand in Ontario with new “diverse” people who hold extreme pro-euthanasia views and are “interested” in “supporting” the deadly procedure. A recent report from the Globe and Mail noted that Ontario’s MAiD Death Review Committee (MDRC), which looks at all deaths by the procedure in the province, wants to diversify. This means that, in essence, the committee is looking to stack itself with pro-death people.

In a pair of encouraging rulings for religious liberty and free expression, courts in both Germany and Austria have struck down bans on peaceful pro-life vigils near abortion clinics, affirming that prayer and silent demonstration are constitutionally protected activities that cannot be prohibited simply because others find them unwelcome. In Germany, the state government of North Rhine-Westphalia had banned a pro-life group from coming within 100 meters of abortion clinics, citing Section 13 of the German Pregnancy Conflict Act, which prohibits vigils if pregnant women are “harassed or intimidated.”

State attorneys general are duty-bound to seek justice for the weak and powerless, not to use their immense power to harass them. But New York Attorney General Letitia James’ policing of private conversations about the abortion pill reversal (APR) protocol amounts to a cynical abuse of state power.

After years of legal battles, the Oregon law mandating employers to cover abortion in their insurance has been found unconstitutional. However, the question remains whether the ruling will apply to just one pro-life organization or more broadly.
