Donald Trump recently nominated Omaha lawyer Brian Buescher to the United States District Court for Nebraska, which requires a hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Buescher, who was Chair of both the Nebraska Bar Association’s Agricultural and Environmental Law Sections, and also served as a prosecutor for Douglas County and Omaha, is seemingly qualified to serve as a judge. But according to several pro-abortion senators, there’s a big problem: Buescher, a Catholic, is a member of the Knights of Columbus, and Buescher and the Knights are pro-life — which equals an “extremist” view that should evidently disqualify one from public service.

Since 2012, Jeanne Mancini has been president of the March for Life Education and Defense Fund, the organization behind the March for Life. During an interview with Catholic News Agency’s CNA Newsroom podcast (Episode 5), Mancini shared her thoughts on the state of the pro-life movement and hinted at plans to continue expanding the reach and impact of the annual March for Life in Washington, D.C., which is the annual capstone event of the pro-life movement.

Since 1977, abortion has been legal in the State of Israel under a set of supposedly strict conditions, and each abortion must be approved by a ghoulishly-named “termination committee.” According to the guidelines, an abortion can be procured if the woman is younger than the legal marriage age (which is 18 at present), or older than age 40; if the baby is conceived through rape, incest, or outside of marriage; if the baby has a birth defect; or if the committee decides that the woman’s life or health is at risk.
