(SRN NEWS) – Fact-checkers are taking Tim Walz to task for claiming that the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 is calling for a “registry of pregnancies”. He made that claim during this week’s vice-presidential debate, but in fact, Project 2025 calls for the collection of “accurate and reliable statistical data about abortion, abortion survivors, and abortion-related maternal deaths.” The plan urges the Department of Health and Human Services to require all states to report detailed information about abortions that are performed within their borders, including the total number of abortions.
Three parents and a grandparent say their rights were violated when they were barred from a New Hampshire school’s grounds for wearing wristbands in protest of a boy playing in a girls’ soccer game. The lawsuit follows a September 17th match at Bow High School against Plymouth Regional High. A 15-year-old boy is playing on the Plymouth team as he and another boy challenge a New Hampshire ban in court. The plaintiffs say they were forced to take off the wristbands to prevent Bow from forfeiting the game.
A judge rolled back Georgia’s abortion ban this week, but neither side expects that decision to be the final word. The state attorney general’s office says it will appeal the ruling to the Georgia Supreme Court. And the state high court could restore the ban on abortions as soon as an unborn baby’s heartbeat can be detected, while it considers the case. The Georgia Supreme Court has already overruled the same judge before on abortion. Until the court acts, however, abortion is legal in the state up to the point of viability — at about six months of pregnancy.
California’s attorney general is suing a Catholic hospital claiming that it illegally denied an emergency abortion to a woman. Attorney General Rob Bonta filed the complaint this week against Providence St. Joseph Hospital in Eureka. The woman was seeking an abortion after her water broke 15 weeks into her pregnancy with twins. The doctor at Providence said he could not perform an abortion so long as a heartbeat was detectable unless the mother’s life was sufficiently at risk. The lawsuit alleges violations of state civil rights laws.
