If you were with us in Parliament Square on Saturday, you saw exactly what we are up against.

Every year, anti abortion campaigners tell us their movement is about compassion. They talk about “protecting women”, supporting families and defending life.

But the reality we saw on Saturday looked very different.

USA – Ectopic Pregnancy Deaths Have Nearly Doubled. It’s Worse in States With Abortion Bans.

by Andrea Suozzo and Agnel Philip
September 9, 2026

The number of women who died after an ectopic pregnancy has spiked in recent years, a ProPublica analysis found. The mounting deaths in Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data have drawn little scrutiny or response.

Such deaths typically occur in the first trimester, after a pregnancy fails to properly implant in the uterus and begins to develop elsewhere, most commonly inside a fallopian tube. The embryo grows until it causes the organ to rupture, triggering catastrophic bleeding.

An NZ First candidate says New Zealand permits babies to be “killed right up to the day of birth” and left to die in hospital sluice rooms. Paula Penfold checks her claims against the law, official data and medical practice.

Last week, NZ First candidate for Selwyn, Elizabeth Mundt, posted on Facebook about a topic that had been “haunting” her for years. What will NZ First do about the “full-term abortion bill”?

Canada – Saskatoon council to consider action on graphic anti-abortion flyers

Posted: Sep 05, 2026

A national anti-abortion organization is warning Saskatoon city council that any attempt to restrict its use of graphic imagery of aborted fetuses could face legal challenges.

Coun. Bev Dubois is asking council to consider action to restrict the distribution of flyers after a foldable pamphlet with bloody images of aborted fetuses was delivered to homes in Saskatoon in August, prompting complaints from residents.

Dubois said she's aware of bylaws in other cities, including Calgary, that require graphic abortion imagery to be contained in an opaque envelope with a warning about the contents.

Argentina’s Milei wants women to have more children while he cuts support for families

Argentina’s Milei wants women to have more children while he cuts support for families
According to a report, only two of 50 national programs aimed at pregnant women, children and caregiving are fully operational

From the stage of a luxury hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentine President Javier Milei recently took aim at one of his recurring targets: women, whom he blames for the decline in birth rates that Argentina has seen for more than a decade.

“We are paying a very high price for the madness of the green bandanas,” he said, referring to the symbol used in Argentina’s abortion-rights movement. “That obsession with killing children in the womb is also costing us dearly in terms of growth, and don’t even get me started on what it means for the pension system.”

Argentina’s Milei blames legalized abortion for decline in births

by Banyeliz Muñoz
Sept. 3, 2026

BUENOS AIRES (UPI) -- Argentina's declining birth rate has drawn renewed attention after President Javier Milei linked the drop in births to the legalization of abortion during at least two public appearances over the past week.

…But demographic data and experts consulted by UPI challenge Milei's assertion, noting that the decline began years before abortion was legalized and reflects broader economic and social factors.

Pre-Abortion Counseling in Belarus May Amount to Psychological Abuse of Women — White Coats

28.08.2026

The White Coats initiative studied the teaching and methodological manual “Family Pre-Abortion Counseling” and concluded that it constitutes guidance on psychological abuse of a person in a vulnerable position.

U.S. Pushes Expansion of the Anti-Abortion and Anti-LGBTQ+ Geneva Consensus Declaration in Latin America

August 24, 2026

With the U.S. now holding the Secretariat of the anti-woman and anti-LGBTQ+ Geneva Consensus Declaration (GCD), Argentina has become the latest Latin American country to join the anti-rights agreement, and the Trump administration is leading the outreach to expand the coalition’s membership.

Argentina’s decision to join is hardly unexpected. The country’s far-right president, Javier Milei, has been a longtime ally of Trump in the region. Milei has repeatedly spoken out against sexual and reproductive rights. With its addition, the GCD now has four members in the region: Argentina, Haiti, Guatemala and Paraguay. But documents obtained by GPAHE reveal that another Latin American country recently declined an invitation to join: Bolivia.
