A court in Brisbane recently granted a Queensland couple more time to sue an ultrasound clinic after their daughter was born with Down Syndrome. 

The couple claims that the clinic failed to accurately provide a Down Syndrome diagnosis and that they would have aborted the baby if it had been diagnosed properly.

The couple went to the ultrasound clinic in August 2014 for an ultrasound which was intended to scan for any chromosomal abnormalities. They claim that they were told both by the doctor and the sonographer that their risk was in the “low range.” They further allege that the clinic advised…

Unplanned is going to Canada. The controversial pro-life movie landed a distribution deal with the independent distributor Cinedicom with showings beginning on July 12. 

As it did in America, Unplanned faced several roadblocks in its distribution. As previously reported by Christian Headlines, it was banned in Canada when several major film distributors refused it in May of this year.

But, Canadian pro-life advocates rallied with a petition and national boycott of Cineplex, a major movie theater, to bring the film to the big screen. 

“Unplanned was released in the US on March 29th, 2019. However, if you live in Canada, you will not be able to view this new film,” the petition, which has garnered over 200,000 signatures, stated. “It appears that the ‘controversial’ nature of this film is impacting its release. There are no public screenings scheduled anywhere across the nation. We aim to change that. We want to see this film shown on movie screens all across Canada – and around the world.”

Cineplex has yet to agree to screenings, explaining that the film lacked a distributor. But, Unplannedproducers suspect it’s because of the strong pro-life message.

Unplanned has had a profound effect on the abortion industry. So far, nearly 100 abortion clinic workers have left their employment after watching the movie. The film focuses on Abby Johnson, a former Planned Parenthood…

A writer for Teen Vogue tells teenage girls in a new column, how to obtain an abortion if they don’t want to tell their parents.

The columnist tells girls how to pay for it, too.

“First of all, I’m here to tell you that you have nothing to be ashamed of,” Nona Willis Aronowitz wrote, addressing a 16-year-old girl who is pregnant. “Accidents can happen even to the most careful among us.

“And it’s only logical that if teens are mature enough to become parents, they are mature enough to decide whether or not they want to give birth. Having access to abortion should be your right, regardless of your parents’ beliefs.”

The column was titled, “How to Get an Abortion If You’re a Teen.” But on other pages on the website, it was teased as, “How to Get an Abortion If You Don’t Want to Tell Your Parents.”

Aronowitz writes a regular column about sex, dating and relationships, and answers questions from readers. The 16-year-old teen had asked: “I’m not sure if I’m allowed to get an abortion without my parents’ permission, but I’m really scared to tell them because they are both against abortion. What should I do?” 

Aronowitz noted that many states have parental consent and parental notification laws. Sometimes, Aronowitz wrote, it’s best to tell parents about the pregnancy. 

“No matter what your parents’ abstract views, they…
