For decades, society has been sold the lie that abortion is safe and that women do not suffer complications from abortion, incomplete procedures, or other potentially serious health risks requiring post-abortion care. But the truth is that for decades the pro-life movement has documented inept abortion providers, ambulances summoned to abortion and Planned Parenthood centers for injured abortion clients, abortion-related deaths, and a host of complications and risks.

Now, since the reversal of Roe v. Wade, the abortion industry is using a new tactic to keep women coming through their doors: offering “post-abortion care” as well as “follow-up care” (like ultrasound screenings) in states that protect preborn children from abortion.

The pro-life movement in Pennsylvania and throughout the country has been quite clear: abortion harms women. That being the case, National Right to Life and the Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation have been vocal about ensuring that women who have undergone the tragedy and trauma of abortion receive the compassionate counseling and support they deserve.

"Death is something that should be a set, finite thing. It shouldn't be something that's left up to interpretation."

The non-profit organization The Uniform Law Commission (ULC) will make a decision next week as to whether it will amend its current definition of brain death.



According to a statement from the US Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), which opposes the proposed change, the revision “would replace the standard of whole brain death with one of partial brain death” in the Uniform Determination of Death Act (UDDA). The current definition in the UDDA states that brain death is the “irreversible cessation of all functions of the entire brain including the brainstem.”
