ALL Supporter Finds Emergency Contraception, Plan B, at Wholesale Store

This week, an ALL supporter contacted our office to alert us of wholesale store Sam’s Club selling the emergency contraception brand Plan B. Sam’s Club is among the many retailers with in-store pharmacies that sell the popular emergency contraception. 

We are asking pro-lifers to contact Sam’s Club and encourage them to discontinue selling the dangerous drug, which results in an early abortion.

Pro-lifers can pen a letter to Sam’s Club’s corporate email or call the customer service line. Please remember to exhibit kindness and respect when expressing your concern over the sale of Plan B.

Virginia Pro-Lifers: Act Now to Stop HJR 1

From this week’s Wednesday STOPP Report:

A Planned Parenthood backed abortion ballot initiative is creeping its way through the Virginia state legislature. HJR 1 is a state amendment that would enact the “fundamental right to reproductive freedom” into the state constitution. Right now, Virginia Democrats would like this to be on the ballot in 2026.

Virginia already has some of the most liberal abortion laws in the country, allowing abortion at any time for any reason using loopholes in the current code of law. Virginia’s former governor also famously said that if a baby survives an abortion, the family and the doctor would decide whether or not to proceed. He stated, “The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired. And then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother.”

Virginia, STOPP’s home state, is in desperate need of pro-lifers who will speak up to stop this law. Judie Brown, ALL’s president, stated in an email to pro-lifers, “We must do everything we can to convince our state lawmakers and fellow Virginians that the right to life, not the elimination of life, is a cherished American value that should never be swept under the political rug of the abortion cartel.” 

Please pray and act to stop this. Visit whosmy.virginiageneralassembly.gov to find the name and contact information for your legislator. Then write or call and respectfully voice your opinion. 

If they respond to you, forward the responses to us so we can keep track of them.

We must work together to defeat HJR 1 and protect the babies!

Democratic Senators Vote Against Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act

In a very disturbing turn of events this week, a bill entitled the S.6 Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act was blocked by all 47 Democratic US Senators who voted against the bill. With 60 voted needed to pass it, the Republicans ran short with 52 votes.

The goal of this bill sought to protect babies immediately after they survive an abortion or abortion attempt. The bill also states the following:

(1) If an abortion results in the live birth of an infant, the infant is a legal person for all purposes under the laws of the United States, and entitled to all the protections of such laws.

(2) Any infant born alive after an abortion or within a hospital, clinic, or other facility has the same claim to the protection of the law that would arise for any newborn, or for any person who comes to a hospital, clinic, or other facility for screening and treatment or otherwise becomes a patient within its care.

S.6 further states mandates: 1) that the baby receive immediate admission to a hospital following the failed abortion, 2) mandatory reporting of violations by medical personnel if the abortionist does not follow the protocol to make sure the baby is taken to the hospital, and 3) the allowance of civil action by the mother against the abortionist if she or the baby suffer physical and psychological damage from the abortion.

Though numerous politicians have denied that abortions through birth are happening in the US, these senators who voted against this bill show that they are not only okay with abortions but that they are in favor of allowing a child to die after being born alive from a failed abortion. 

ALL in the News

Following the inauguration of President Trump, Judie Brown released a statement with hope for the new president to have a pro-life conversion much like that of President Reagan. Her statement was published by Catholism.org.

Susan Ciancio, editor of Celebrate Life Magazine and director of the Culture of Life Studies Program—ALL’s pre-K-12 pro-life education program—penned an op-ed on the same subject published by LifeNews.

An article examining Colorado’s history of pro-life and pro-abortion legislature mentioned a years old personhood amendment that had full support from American Life League.

Twice a week, Judie’s commentaries are distributed to an expansive media list. The list contains over 100 media outlets such as Fox News, The Federalist, Breitbart, and The Daily Caller, among others. Judie’s commentaries are each featured on the front page of ALL.org.

‘NYT’ Recognizes Preborn Babies as People?

Trump’s election and inauguration as the 57th president has thrown leftist news organizations into schizophrenic mode. After Trump signed an Executive Order addressing birthright citizenship, the New York Times suddenly adopted language recognizing the humanity of preborn children.

It’s a miracle!

NYT also forgot “undocumented pregnant people.”
