As Massachusetts just became the 10th state to remove all statutory limits on abortion — including in the third trimester. The governor signed it in front of dozens of cheering women. So what exactly did they just legalize? And what ACTUALLY happens during an abortion? In this episode of The Brief, host Shabbos Kestenbaum — who notes upfront that he invited abortion providers to appear and none would — sits down with Kristan Hawkins, president of Students for Life of America and Students for Life Action, to answer that question directly and without euphemism. Kristan opens with the response that stops the "late term abortion doesn't exist" argument cold: if it doesn't happen, why did Massachusetts feel the need to legalize it? And…

Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican's Secretary of State and Pope Leo XIV's official representative, leaned forward and pressed his lips to the ancient relic of Saint Agatha during a ceremony at Catania Cathedral on August 17.

Gov. Maura Healey signed a law making Massachusetts the tenth state to allow abortion up to birth, and a neonatologist says the prenatal tests used to justify late terminations are far less reliable than families are told. Dr. Robin Pierucci, a neonatologist and co-chair of the American College of Pediatricians' Pro-Life Council, told Fox News Digital that the new Massachusetts law raises grave medical and ethical questions, starting with the screening tools that drive many late-term abortion decisions. Prenatal imaging, she said, cannot reliably predict how severely a condition will affect a child after birth. Healey signed H. 5595, the Prioritizing Patient Access to Care Act, on Aug. 10, erasing the state's longstanding 24-week…Open
