National anti-abortion org claims Alabama House Health Committee chairman ‘abdicated his duty to protect preborn babies’
1819 NEWS
The bill in question, House Bill 518 (HB518), also known as the Prenatal Equal Protection Act, is aimed at providing “equal protection” under the law for unborn children who are killed by abortion. HB518 would permit criminal prosecution for abortions in the state with several exceptions. Under the bill, prosecutions where the victim is an unborn child “must be treated the same as if the unborn child were born alive.”
The Foundation to Abolish Abortion (FAA) has been active this and previous years, advocating for similar equal protection bills in state legislatures nationwide, including Alabama.

OKGOP convention censures 4 GOP senators who killed bill to abolish abortion
MUSKOGEE POLITICO
Oklahoma Republican Party activists gathered this past weekend to elect new leadership and advance new party business at the biennial state convention. Among the items passed by convention delegates was a censure of four Republican state senators for voting in the Senate judiciary committee to against a bill to end abortion in Oklahoma.
Yes, after decades of pro-life pledges and bills, it’s Republicans (allegedly “conservative” and “100% pro-life,” to boot) that are standing in the way of abolishing abortion in our state and ending the continued post-Dobbs slaughter of preborn human beings. You can read a little more background information in this article from the Foundation to Abolish Abortion.

224 ‘Medically Necessary’ Abortions Reported in Texas Since Dobbs, Data Scope Remains Disputed
THE TEXAN
From August 2022 — the month Texas’ abortion restrictions trigger law went into effect — to December 2024, no elective abortions have been performed, according to Induced Termination of Pregnancy (ITOP) data released monthly by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHS).
Bradley Pierce, President of Abolish Abortion Texas, told The Texan he believes the Texas HHS data indicating zero elective abortions is missing important context because it “does not account for the more than 25,000 abortions still happening on Texas soil every single year by means of abortion pills from telehealth visits and protected by shield laws.”

Emotional Sabotage and the Abolition of Abortion
CLEAR TRUTH MEDIA
Anyone who has been involved in the battle against abortion will recognize a handful of tired pro-abortion talking points. The abortion activist insists that a baby is a mere clump of cells, that abortion is somehow healthcare, or that the state should not be involved in health decisions.
These assertions fall apart under even the slightest scrutiny. That is when the sabotage starts. Christians opposing abortion have likely heard that they are apologists for rape or incest, that they have hypocritically failed to adopt enough babies, that they overlook acts of purported systemic racism, or that they are violating the rights of others. None of these claims are true, but pursuit of truth is not the point. The point is to emotionally manipulate Christians into silence.

Interview: Missouri Republicans decline to abolish abortion
THE SENTINEL
Missouri Republican State Representative Justin Sparks and Missouri Republican State Representative Burt Whaley submitted the Missouri Prenatal Equal Protection Act. The proposal would establish equal protection of the laws for preborn children in Missouri, thereby applying the homicide and assault laws that already protect born people to also protect preborn people, according to a release from the Foundation to Abolish Abortion.
But members of the Missouri House Children and Families Committee, the majority of whom are Republicans, failed to provide a “do pass” vote for the Missouri Prenatal Equal Protection Act. While three members voted in favor, seven voted against the measure and five voted “present.”

Op-Ed: Planned Parenthood Celebrates as Texas Pro-Life Group Opposes Bill to End Abortion
THE WESTERN JOURNAL
Texas Alliance for Life announced that they opposed House Bill 2197 because the measure would “criminalize abortion for women.” That is because House Bill 2197 would close loopholes in Texas law granting mothers blanket immunity for willfully murdering their preborn children.
An analysis from the Foundation to Abolish Abortion conservatively estimated that there are 60,000 abortions each year committed by Texans, including more than 25,000 on Texas soil.

Texas lawmakers ditch discussion on controversial bill that would make abortion murder
TEXAS PUBLIC RADIO
Rep. Brent Money, a Greenville Republican, is the bill's sponsor. On Tuesday, his office told The Texas Newsroom he was surprised by the move and believed the measure, House Bill 2197, was a top priority for Republicans.
But HB 2197 saw recent pushback from even the state’s strongest supporters of abortion restrictions. Texas Alliance for Life — which describes itself as a “pro-life organization whose goals are to protect innocent human life from conception through natural death” — is one of them.

Abortions are still happening in Kentucky despite ban. Republicans are to blame.
LOUISVILLE COURIER-JOURNAL
The 2025 legislative session is over, and Republicans missed another opportunity to end abortion legally. If you’re thinking, “Wait, isn’t abortion already banned?” — you’re likely not alone. After Roe v. Wade was overturned and Kentucky’s trigger law took effect, news reported abortion was “banned” in the commonwealth. That’s misleading.
Abortion clinics closed in August 2022, and thank God. But that doesn’t mean abortions have stopped. The Foundation to Abolish Abortion estimates Kentucky may have seen 2,095 self-managed abortions in a 12-month period despite its “abortion ban.”

Missouri House bills would allow murder charges to be filed over abortions
MISSOURINET
HB 1072 and HB 1417 are both entitled the “Missouri Prenatal Equal Protection Act.” It would allow prosecutors to charge both the mother and the doctor who performed the abortion with first-degree murder. Exceptions would be allowed for medical emergencies. State Rep. Burt Whaley, R-Stone County, is sponsoring HB 1417.
“We are the defenders of life. We hold in our hands the preservation and the sanctity of life,” Whaley said before the Mo. House Committee on Children and Families. “This bill announces that we will preserve life from conception.”

The Movement to Prosecute Women Who Have Abortions Is Growing
NOTUS
Though legislation that would punish women for having abortions has not passed any state legislatures, after the Dobbs decision that overturned Roe v. Wade, these bills aren’t just supported by the far fringes of the anti-abortion movement, which prior to 2022, they decidedly were.
“We have seen substantial gains for our legislation over the last few years,” said Bradley Pierce, president of the Foundation to Abolish Abortion, which writes model legislation for lawmakers to make abortion illegal with no exceptions. “Our efforts and the work of abolitionists across the country to reach both the culture and the public square are bearing fruit. We saw over a dozen bills and counting filed this year.”

Georgia’s Fetal Personhood Bill Delineates the Divide Between Abortion Abolitionists and Pro-Life Orgs
RED STATE
In February, Georgia’s heartbeat law, which restricts abortion after a discernable heartbeat is detected (around six weeks) except in the cases of rape, incest, or the life of the mother, was once again upheld by the Georgia Supreme Court in a 6-1 decision.
But for a faction of life advocates known as “abortion abolitionists,” so-called heartbeat bills do not stop abortions from happening. Their aim is to change this, making it illegal to have one. In March, State Rep. Emory Dunahoo (R-31) introduced House Bill 441 (HB 441), the “Georgia Prenatal Equal Protection Act,” which would make abortion a criminal act. If made law, it would remove the six-week timeframe of the heartbeat law and the exceptions that go along with it.

Now They Want to Charge Women With Killing Their ‘Preborn’ Babies
MS. MAGAZINE
If you thought that antiabortion Republican lawmakers in red states like Texas, Idaho, South Carolina and Georgia would be satisfied now that they have passed extreme abortion bans in their states, think again—just doling out legal threats to the citizens in their states who they believe are aiding and abetting abortions was not enough. Now, they want to punish women themselves for getting abortions.

Georgia pro-life organization attacks bill that would classify abortion as homicide: ‘Sad, but it is not a surprise’
BLAZE MEDIA
Bradley Pierce, president of the Foundation to Abolish Abortion — a national pro-life nonprofit that has championed the legislation from the start — stated that “House Bill 441, the bill that Georgia Life Alliance is opposing in Georgia, would simply protect the lives of innocent preborn children with the same homicide and assault laws that protect the rest of us as born people. This is what God commands and the U.S. Constitution requires.”
“Georgia Life Alliance claims that House Bill 441 criminalizes only women and exempts abortionists, pimps, and sex traffickers. This is totally false,” continued Pierce, whose organization drew significant attention to the letter this week. “The truth is that current pro-life laws in Georgia protect a woman’s ‘right’ to knowingly and willingly murder her preborn child by abortion. House Bill 441, on the other hand, is the only bill that is impartial and would treat everyone equally under the law.”

Alabama lawmaker files bill to jail women for abortions
ALABAMA POLITICAL REPORTER
“Abortion is murder, and justice demands that our laws treat it as such,” Yarbrough told APR when he first filed the bill. “If you look at Alabama law, you will see there is an exemption that says that abortion is not murder in our state. It’s time we change that. This bill is simply an attempt to align our law with our rhetoric. Alabamians agree: life begins at conception, and abortion is murder. The Abolish Abortion in Alabama Act reflects that sentiment.”
There has been some sway in whether Alabama is willing to prosecute the women involved in terminating their pregnancies since the reversal of Roe v. Wade. Although the law has effectively stopped surgical abortions at clinics in Alabama, women are still able to use abortion pills due to federal laws. Attorney General Steve Marshall previously said those women could be prosecuted for chemical endangerment, but later walked back those statements.

State lawmakers are weighing bills that would treat abortion as homicide
THE 19TH
None of the bills are likely to become law. But they illustrate a growing divide in the anti-abortion movement and could punish pregnant people. Lawmakers in at least eight states are weighing bills that would treat abortion as a homicide, imposing criminal penalties on both providers and patients, once a Rubicon for the movement.
The bills, filed in Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, South Carolina and Texas, stem from the Prenatal Equal Protection Act, model legislation crafted by the Texas-based advocacy group the Foundation to Abolish Abortion. Three similar bills were introduced in Indiana, North Dakota and Oklahoma but failed to pass in committee or on the floor of the legislature.

GA’s proposed total abortion ban bill wants ‘capital punishment’ for women, doctors
COLUMBUS LEDGER-INQUIRER
Georgia lawmakers have introduced House Bill 441, titled the “Georgia Prenatal Equal Protection Act,” which extends the scope of current laws governing abortion. This bill contains a total abortion ban, with very few exceptions, and could criminalize recipients and medical providers with capital punishment.
One of the bill’s sponsors, Rep. Emory Dunahoo articulated his support on the Foundation to Abolish Abortion’s overview page. He said, “If we truly believe that a fetus is a person made in the image of God, then to be consistent with the Constitution and God’s word, the laws which protect human beings who are born must equally protect those who are not yet born.”

The outlet said, “Georgia Democratic State Rep. Dar’shun Kendrick decided to mock God and ridicule Virgil Walker, the vice president of G3 Ministries, as he testified in favor of House Bill 441.” The Foundation to Abolish Abortion shared the images in a social media post on Wednesday, showing Walker delivering his remarks while Kendrick held up the signs.
In a post on Wednesday morning, Walker said, “HB441 doesn’t criminalize women. It criminalizes murder. If we won’t apply the same law to the preborn as we do the born, we don’t believe in justice — we believe in convenience. Georgia: Do the righteous thing. Give the bill the hearing it deserves.”

Georgia House Bill criminalizing abortion is advancing. What to know about HB 441
ATHENS BANNER-HERALD
Georgia lawmakers are advancing a bill, HB 441, that would significantly restrict abortion access and could charge pregnant mothers for murder. The bill, introduced in February, 2025, has passed its second reading and is currently pending in the House Judiciary - Non-Civil Committee. A hearing is scheduled for Friday, March 26, at noon.
“If we truly believe that a fetus is a person made in the image of God, then to be consistent with the Constitution and God’s word, the laws which protect human beings who are born must equally protect those who are not yet born,” wrote the Foundation to Abolish Abortion.
