New bill would protect mothers with surrogacy contracts from forced abortions<\/h2>\n

Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tennessee, introduced on July 21 a bill designed to protect pregnant mothers who are surrogates from being forced to have abortions.<\/p>\n

The \u2018\u2018Preventing Forced Abortions Act of 2026<\/a>\u201d would prevent federal courts from forcing a woman to have abortion because of a surrogate contract; the act also requires that surrogate mothers still be compensated.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo woman should ever be forced to murder a child because of a provision buried in a contract,\u201d Ogles said in announcing the measure. \u201cThe Preventing Forced Abortions Act ensures that federal courts cannot enforce these coercive clauses or allow intended parents to withhold promised compensation when a surrogate mother chooses life.\u201d<\/p>\n

The pro-life advocacy group Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America expressed support for the bill. Spokeswoman Marilyn Musgrave voiced support for the bill, dizendo<\/a>: \u201cWomen should never be forced or coerced into having an abortion.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hawley calls for investigation of abortion group \u2018Plan C\u2019<\/h2>\n

U.S. Senator Josh Hawley, R-Missouri, is calling on Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and the Department of Justice to investigate Plan C, a group that has shipped abortion pills in the mail allegedly in violation of state and federal law.<\/p>\n

In the July 17 Letra<\/a>, Hawley alleged that Plan C is \u201ca left-wing dark-money operation that styles itself a \u2018public health information campaign\u2019 but functions, in practice, as the referral and logistics hub for shipping abortion drugs into states whose laws prohibit it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hawley maintained that Plan C operates with abortion pill manufacturers Danco Laboratories and GenBioPro.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlan C coaches its users on how to evade the law. Its website instructs users to protect their \u2018digital footprint\u2019 against investigations, recommending privacy-enabled browsers, virtual private networks, and encrypted email,\u201d Hawley wrote.<\/p>\n

Advocacy groups go to court over sidewalk chalk free speech violation<\/h2>\n

Groups that advocate for unborn babies are going to court because their free speech rights were allegedly violated in 2020 in the nation\u2019s capital.<\/p>\n

The Frederick Douglass Foundation and Students for Life of America brought forward an opening brief <\/a>July 16 with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.<\/p>\n

The federal free speech lawsuit was brought in a dispute over the right to chalk messages on the city sidewalk, as police in Washington, D.C. prevented advocates from writing messages in chalk in 2020.<\/p>\n

Other protesters associated with the Black Lives Matter movement spray-painted messages outside the city\u2019s Chamber of Commerce but were not apprehended, according to the Alliance Defending Freedom, the nonprofit free speech law firm that is taking on the case.<\/p>\n

\u201cWashington officials can\u2019t censor messages they disagree with. The right to free speech is for everyone,\u201d disse<\/a> attorney John Bursch.<\/p>\n

Advocacy group offers legal resources for abortion pill reversals<\/h2>\n

Amid an ongoing lawsuit over abortion pill reversals, the Thomas More Society is launching an online hub on abortion pill reversal litigation.<\/p>\n

The Catholic legal group is currently litigating the case People of the State of California v. Heartbeat International & RealOptions, in which California is demanding $20 million from the two pro-life groups because they offered abortion pill reversals.<\/p>\n

A organiza\u00e7\u00e3o disse<\/a> its online hub \u201cbrings together everything supporters, pregnancy centers, movement partners, and the press need to follow this fight in one place.\u201d<\/p>\n

Judge blocks South Dakota abortion advertising ban<\/h2>\n

A U.S. district judge is temporarily blocking a South Dakota law prohibiting abortion groups from advertising abortion pills, which are largely illegal in the state.<\/p>\n

U.S. District Judge Camela Theeler granted a preliminary injunction <\/a>temporarily blocking its enforcement, saying it is likely unconstitutional after New York-based abortion group Mayday Health filed a lawsuit.<\/p>\n
