Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf Rejects Telemedicine Expansion Bill that Excludes At-Home Abortions
(Breitbart) This entire process, then, is happening at home with Planned Parenthood’s at-home abortion service, to which Wolf insists women have access. Katie Glenn, government affairs counsel at Americans United for Life, said in a statement sent to Breitbart News Wolf’s veto underscores he “sides with the abortion industry, not Pennsylvanians in need.” “Gov. Wolf vetoed a bill that would expand critical telemedicine options for all Pennsylvanians just because it could not be used to circumvent state and federal law to create a regime of at-home abortion,” she added. “Gov. Wolf has made it clear what his priority is–and it isn’t expanding healthcare access for rural Pennsylvanians.

Josh Craddock on originalism, 'prenatal personhood,' and the 'abortion is a positive good' narrative
(Life, Liberty, and Law) America was founded with a commitment to the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. So how is it that America remains so confused about the full scope of human rights? And why are abortion activists going so far as to embrace John C.

Casey allow states to regulate abortion later in pregnancy, as long as they provide exceptions for “maternal life and health.” But he almost entirely ignores that Roe companion case Doe v. Bolton defined “maternal health” expansively to include “physical, emotional, psychological, [and] familial” health — in short, a massive loophole for abortion on demand. The only nod Rizzo offers to this reality is a quote from Steve Aden, chief legal counsel at Americans United for Life.

(Bloomberg)  But it’s precisely because abortion requires healthcare workers and protective equipment that it must be restricted, said Steven Aden of Americans United for Life. State officials postponing nonessential surgeries and procedures, including abortions, justify the measure as intended to preserve much-needed personal protective equipment. So far the results in courts have been “mixed,” Aden said.

Trump Pushes Young Republicans Away. Abortion Pulls Them Back.
(The New York Times) In interviews with two dozen Republicans ages 18 to 23, almost all of them, while expressing fundamentally conservative views, identified at least one major issue on which they disagreed with the party line. But more often than not, they said one issue kept them committed to the party: abortion.
