Offensive Pro-Abort Facebook Post Commemorates ‘Lives Lost’ . . . Seriously
Just when we thought pro-abortion advocates couldn’t be any more tone deaf, we saw a Facebook post from “Reproductive Freedom for All” that reads “They should still be here.”
The post contains quotes like “We may not know all of their names. But we honor their lives” and “They deserved dignity.”
At first glance, you would think that this is a post honoring the lives of the millions of babies killed by abortion violence. They SHOULD still be here, and they deserved dignity. But what is this post really about?
The “lives lost in the wake of abortion bans and restrictions.”
This offensive post ignores the fact that millions and millions of innocent babies have paid the price of “reproductive freedom.”
These innocent babies were denied any shred of dignity by the abortionists and mothers who knowingly killed them.
We may not know the names of the millions of babies killed by abortion, but we honor their lives because they are the ones who deserved dignity.
Another Planned Parenthood Abortion Mill Shuts Its Doors
From the August 19 Wednesday STOPP Report
Abortion Free New Mexico reported this week that one of the two Planned Parenthood facilities in Alburquerque permanently shut its doors last month. The group recently found a sign on the door of Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains’ Northeast Heights facility, which stated the following in both English and Spanish: “This Health Center is PERMANENTLY CLOSED. . . . Service at this location has moved to our Eubank Health Center as of July 13th.” Additionally, the Northeast Heights facility website announced that the center closed on July 11 but that patients would be referred to the Eubank facility.
STOPP’s latest information on the Northeast Heights facility shows that it was committing in-person pill abortions at the time of its closure. Our data also shows that this facility was temporarily closed from 2024 until it reopened in April 2026. This means it was only open three months of this year after a nearly two-year closure.
While we typically see a Planned Parenthood facility closure as a positive, it is important to note that this facility is merging into an even larger facility just minutes down the road where they ensure that preborn children can be murdered by pill or procedure.
The Eubank facility commits surgical and pill abortions five days a week. This facility does not offer “telehealth” for abortions, but it does not need to do so, as New Mexico is one of the most pro-abortion states within the US. Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains will continue doing its horrific business in Albuquerque while saving expenses and resources by consolidating. Though the affiliate may claim to be poor from making this decision, the organization is always prowling for another way to earn its blood money.
Let us pray and entrust our prayers to the Blessed Mother for the end to all Planned Parenthood facilities, whether online or in person, and for the ultimate demise of this organization.

The Presence Is Real: As Catholics, our pro-life beliefs are rooted not in our shared humanity but in our faith. We recognize that, just as Christ’s real presence is hidden in the Eucharist, the preborn child’s real presence is hidden in the womb. Sadly, many Catholics, including public figures, reject this truth in favor of our culture’s radical acceptance of preborn child killing. But the Church’s teaching is clear: You can’t be Catholic and pro-abortion. The Presence Is Realoffers a powerful argument in support of the Catholic Church’s obligation to protect Christ in the Eucharist and the child in the womb. SHOP NOW

VIDEO HOMILY: ‘My State Is Being Tormented by a Demon’ Says Massachusetts Priest
The governor of Massachusetts decriminalizes abortion up until birth throughout the state. Mothers hold heart-hands outside of the courthouse to express support for a mother who stands trial for choking her three young children. At least one priest in the state has noticed that something demonic is happening there.
Fr. Paul O’Brien, pastor of St. Patrick’s in Lawrence, homilized on the need for increased faith when so many women are losing theirs. He doesn’t just rebuke the lawmakers who voted FOR abortion, he explains what action he intends to take. It’s a must watch for every faithful Christian who asks themselves, “What can I possibly do about this?”
