John,
Happy New Year!
Here is your first Live Action News recap of 2025. Catch up on these stories from the past week, including a look at the legacy of late President Jimmy Carter, coverage of a recent study that exposes the impact abortion pill-related propaganda on women, and much more.
Former president Jimmy Carter, who urged Democrats to be more pro-life, has died at 100
Jimmy Carter, who served as president of the United States from 1977 to 1981, died on December 29th at the age of 100. He was the longest-lived president in United States history, and the only one to live to 100. There will be an official state funeral held on January 9th, and it is expected that President Joe Biden will deliver a eulogy.
While president, Carter helped reform the foster care system and promote adoption by signing the Adoption Assistance and Child Welfare Act of 1980 into law. When it came to abortion, Carter had a more complex opinion than many of his fellow Democrats. He became president in January 1977, just four years after Roe v. Wade was decided. Though he supported Roe, he said he was personally opposed to abortion and later, after leaving office, told CNN that he believed abortion should be prevented as much as possible.
He also said that he didn’t support taxpayer funding for abortion, and criticized the Democratic party in 2012 for being too extreme on the issue.

Study finds women are unprepared for the severity of abortion pill pain
The majority of abortions in the United States are now committed through the abortion pill, and a new study has revealed that women who take it are unprepared for the severity of the pain.
BMJ Sexual and Reproductive Health reported that women are frequently misled about the pain they will experience when taking the abortion pill. The study examined responses from 1,600 women in the United Kingdom (UK) who had undergone a chemical abortion, with over 90% of respondents ranking their pain at least a 4 out of 10; about half said the pain was worse than they had expected. Around 40% ranked their pain between an 8 and a 10.
