New Jersey Congressman, Texas Attorney General Back Surrogate Seeking Treatment for Unborn Child in Legal Dispute NOTE: SEE OUR HOME PAGE FOR AN UPDATE ON THIS CASE
Zeale.co/news - Elizabeth Ervin - August 11, 2026
The Texas attorney general secured an emergency court order ensuring that the unborn baby boy will receive lifesaving care as McKenna West’s due date approaches.
Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., called for an unborn baby boy to receive lifesaving medical care after his surrogate mother refused the intended parents’ request to abort him, with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton also intervening in the case.
In an Aug. 10 press release, Smith, co-chair of the Congressional Pro-Life Caucus, expressed support for McKenna West amid a legal battle over custody and whether the child will receive medical care after his birth.
“Ms. West has demonstrated heroic courage and love for this baby,” Smith said. “According to reports, despite the threat of financial ruin, she refused to abort the baby boy, filed for custody, and relocated to Texas near a hospital that is equipped to begin treatment for his condition after he is born.”
The child was diagnosed with hypoplastic left heart syndrome during a 20-week ultrasound, according to an Aug. 11 report from National Right to Life News. The intended parents later requested that West undergo an abortion and sued her after she refused. CLICK HERE to read more about this important court case.

Massachusetts late-term Abortion Bill Shows 'Leave it to the States' Rule Doesn't Work, Pro-life Group Says
Zeal.co | by Elizabeth Ervin | August 10, 2026
A leading pro-life organization says a Massachusetts bill that would allow abortions after 24 weeks of pregnancy demonstrates why the protection of unborn children cannot be left exclusively to individual states.
Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America criticized H.5595 in a July 31 press release after the legislation reached the desk of Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey, a Democrat, earlier that day.
The Prioritizing Patient Access to Care Act, H.5595, would allow abortions after 24 weeks solely on a physician’s professional judgment and permit the procedures to be performed outside hospitals, according to a summary from the Massachusetts Legislature. SBLA Pro-Life America said the proposed bill would not set a later gestational limit. CLICK HERE to read the rest of the story.
They Want to Start Euthanizing
Mentally Ill People

The death lobby sells the concept of giving doctors the right to kill their patients (euthanasia or assisted suicide) by assuring legislators that the killing will be limited to rare circumstances.
In Canada, the death lobby argued that medical homicide would be limited to terminally ill people who are fully competent, freely choosing and suffering.
The original Canadian euthanasia law claimed to have “tight” safeguards that including a restriction based on having a “terminal” condition.
The reality was that the Canadian law lacked effective definition. Therefore, from the beginning it was designed to quickly expand from killing the few to killing the many.
The strategy of selling killing based on it being limited to rare circumstances is used in every jurisdiction when debating the legalization of poisoning.
The Euthanasia Prevention Coalition (EPC) argues that once legal, the assisted killing law inevitably expands because it is discriminatory to allow doctors to kill one group of people while restricting doctors from killing another group of people with similar conditions. EPC has been vilified for our honesty.
The Globe and Mail published an opinion article on June 13 by Dr. Konia Trouton titled: Why are the rules different for MAiD depending on what you have? Trouton is not only a euthanasia doctor but she is also a co-founder and past president of CAMAP (Canadian Association of MAiD Assessors and Practitioners) and she helped develop the curriculum for training doctors to poison (kill) their patients.
Trouton’s article justifies euthanasia for people who are not terminally ill, but living with mental health conditions, something that is never promoted when a jurisdiction is debating the legalization of medical homicide.

We urge you to contact your State Representative and State Senators and ask them to vote against any physician assisted suicide laws.
Abortion Pill Poisoning: The New Method of Abusing Women
LifeNews.com | Christa Brown | 6-15-26 Wash.,DC
At the end of May, a young woman called the Abortion Pill Reversal Hotline desperate for help and for someone to believe her. Thankfully, the hotline nurse who answered her call at 4:00 a.m. was deeply concerned. Once again, a woman had been poisoned with abortion drugs and help was needed quickly.
This story is not an isolated case. Abortion pills are the new tool of those who would abuse, pimp, and traffic women. And they are readily available for purchase.
At ten weeks of gestation, “Annie” (a pseudonym used to protect her safety) noticed a prescribed medication she had been taking was “completely different than yesterday.” In a panic, she had called the police, who found an open case of abortion medications in the apartment she shared with her boyfriend. The person she loved had intentionally poisoned her and her preborn baby. CLICK HERE to read the full story.
