New Mexico became the ninth U.S. state to legalize assisted suicide on Thursday. Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham signed the Elizabeth Whitefield End-of-Life Options Act, making it legal for patients with less than half a year to live to request life-ending drugs.

In 2008, El Salvador officials convicted and imprisoned a woman known as Manuela for committing infanticide against her newborn son. Less than two years later, she died from cancer while serving her sentence. Pro-abortion groups are now attempting to use the case to overturn El Salvador’s pro-life laws protecting all babies from abortion. They are trying to convince the Inter-American Court of Human Rights that punishing abortion as a crime leads to the unjust conviction of innocent women.

Natalia Isherwood took the abortion pill last summer because she was afraid that her then-boyfriend would leave her if she didn’t. After a phone consultation through the United Kingdom’s Pills by Post program, the 20-year-old picked up the drugs at the local abortion facility with instructions to take them that night.

Peter Breen was in his office after an Illinois House of Representatives committee hearing on April 5, 2016, when he received a call from his client David Daleiden. Breen—then a state representative and an attorney for the Thomas More Society—often took calls from the pro-life activist between legislative meetings, but this one was particularly memorable.

Tasmania is set to become the third state in Australia to legalize euthanasia. On Tuesday, its upper house of Parliament approved amendments to legislation that will allow people suffering from irreversible conditions to end their lives early, within six months of their expected deaths. The legislation will take effect about 18 months after it receives final approval from Tasmania’s governor, which should happen within a month.

A young man dressed in pink holding a Planned Parenthood sign picked Michele Hendrickson out of the thousands in front of the Supreme Court building during the annual March for Life in Washington, D.C. “Are you a Christian?” he asked abruptly. 

Hendrickson, then a regional coordinator for Students for Life, responded yes. The man shot back, “Well then, what do you have to say when your God supports abortion?” Then he quoted a psalm and Numbers 5:27. “He had them memorized,” says Hendrickson. 

On a sunny morning last October, a large white van with an Indiana license plate pulled up behind the Planned Parenthood facility in Columbus, Ohio. A bald man in a blue uniform brought red trashcan-sized bins out of the facility on a dolly and loaded them into the van. A pro-life volunteer outside the Planned Parenthood recorded some of the short pickup on her phone. She knew the location on East Main Street was the last remaining surgical abortion facility in the city, and those red bins marked with the biohazard symbol likely contained the bodies of aborted babies.
