Presley endured a procedure that involves ripping the baby apart in the mother’s womb. The unsuccessful procedure left him with a deformed arm. Five months after the procedure, his mother realized he was still alive in the womb. Presley says that, “people are people at conception, and we should care about their personhood then, not after they’re born, because this is what we’re left with when we have those kinds of arbitrary criteria for personhood.”
Culwell’s mother had a dilation and curettage late-term abortion at month five of her pregnancy. Culwell is a twin. She alone survived because, after discovering one baby was still alive, her mother wasn’t able to follow through with a second late-term abortion attempt due to risk of infection. Culwell says her life has been filled with multiple physical complications and asks “Where were my rights as a woman? What were my rights in the womb?”
SCOTUS Nomination Announcement This Saturday
Abortion laws and the potential overturning of Roe v. Wade is on everyone’s mind as Trump sets out to appoint the next Supreme Court justice. Highlighting the significance of this appointment, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary President Albert Mohler Jr. said, “This is an explosive political moment. America is engaged not just in a battle for the White House, but a battle for the balance of power in all branches of government.”
Following Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death last Friday September 18, 2020, President Trump has said in recent election rallies and on social media that he will announce his Supreme Court nominee this Saturday at 5pm. At rallies this week the President has stated that his nomination will be a woman and that there are five candidates he will chose from.
One of those candidates, pro-life judge Coney Barrett, has said “it’s very unlikely at this point” that Roe v. Wade will be overturned.
