Fox NewsPro-life publisher facing demands to retract calling abortion ‘killing’ fires back: ‘The answer is No’Live Action, represented by the Thomas More Society, has refused demands from Amplify Legal to retract articles and remove content related to 13 abortion-rights advocates. The publisher asserts that its use of terms like 'killing' to describe abortion is constitutionally protected speech and intends to defend against potential defamation lawsuits. Amplify Legal continues to weigh its options regarding further legal action following this rejection.The Detroit NewsGroup sues over buffer zone law for Detroit health care facilitiesAbortion opponents sued the city of Detroit over a 2024 ordinance creating buffer zones around health care facilities, claiming it violates free speech. The complaint was filed in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan on March 19, 2026, by the Thomas More Society on behalf of a Michigan man and a Texas nonprofit.ThomasmoresocietyTMS WEEKLY DISPATCH 2The Thomas More Society filed an appeal challenging a Westchester County law that criminalizes sidewalk counseling outside an abortion clinic. The organization also addressed issues with Kirkwood School District's access to inappropriate content, supported a court case regarding Colorado's preschool funding, and discussed the dismissal of disorderly conduct charges against pro-life advocates in Memphis.AxiosTrump administration threatens Illinois over abortion referral lawThe Trump administration's HHS sent Illinois leaders a letter alleging the state violates federal conscience objection laws by requiring providers to refer patients to abortion care. Illinois has 30 days to respond, and the financial consequences are unclear. The letter follows a 2018 complaint from Thomas More Society.PR NewswireElection Integrity Watchdog Demands Judges Order Preservation of Evidence That Could Reveal Election FraudThe Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society announced on December 14, 2020, that it is demanding judges in five key swing states preserve evidence related to a forensic audit of Dominion voting machines in Antrim County, Michigan, which reportedly found a 68.05% error rate in tabulation logs, far exceeding the Federal Election Commission's maximum allowable error rate of 0.0008 percent. The organization is seeking emergency judicial orders to prevent state and local officials from destroying or spoiling evidence, citing concerns that Michigan's Secretary of State ordered deletion of electronic poll books and other evidence. The claims have implications for election litigation the group has pending in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.PR NewswireElection Integrity Watchdog Amistad Project: December 8 Deadline for Selection of Electors Does Not Apply to Disputed StatesThe Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society released a white paper arguing that the December 8 Electoral College deadline does not apply to states with disputed elections, asserting that state legislatures retain authority to appoint electors until January 20. The organization has filed litigation in several swing states alleging illegal conduct by officials resulted in over 1.2 million potentially fraudulent ballots exceeding the margin separating candidates.PR NewswireAmistad: Pennsylvania Judge Orders Secretary of State to Segregate Ballots StatewideA Commonwealth Court judge in Pennsylvania ordered Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar to require all County Boards of Election to segregate legally-cast ballots received by Election Day from provisional ballots, enabling a review period of up to 16 days. The Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society, which filed the lawsuit, praised the ruling as a victory for ensuring ballots are counted properly under lawful procedures. The order was issued in case 600 M.D. 2020 and affects ballot handling across the entire state.PR NewswireThe Amistad Project: Zuckerberg Needs To Be Transparent About Political Donations Through Partisan NonprofitThe Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society released a statement criticizing Mark Zuckerberg's announcement of an additional $100 million donation to the Center for Technology and Civic Life (CTCL), bringing his total contributions to over $350 million for election-related activities. The organization claims CTCL has directed funds primarily to areas in battleground states that voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016, with 99.5% of $63 million in grants going to Democrat-leaning jurisdictions. The Thomas More Society, which is funding lawsuits in eight states, argues that this constitutes improper privatization of elections and violates equal protection principles.PR NewswireAMISTAD STATEMENT: Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry Shows Courage, Grit in Beating Back Mark Zuckerberg's Alleged Attempts to Manipulate Election; More AGs Should Follow Landry's LeadLouisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry filed suit to prevent the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL) from distributing $250 million in funds to local authorities, alleging the money is intended to manipulate election outcomes. The Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society supports these legal efforts, which are part of a broader campaign in nine battleground states including Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. The initiative aims to stop what it describes as an insidious campaign by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg's organization to influence voter turnout in Democratic-leaning areas.PR NewswireAmistad Project: More Federal Lawsuits Filed To Block $250 Million In Private Monies From Directing Government Election ManagementVoters in four states—Georgia, Iowa, South Carolina, and Texas—have filed federal lawsuits to block $250 million donated by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg through the Center for Technology and Civic Life (CTCL) from being used to influence election management in local governments. The lawsuits, supported by the Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society, allege that CTCL is selectively directing funds to Democratic-leaning areas in presidential battleground states and competitive Senate and House races, undermining election integrity by allowing private interests to control government functions. The plaintiffs argue that private funding of election administration creates an uneven playing field and bypasses the transparency and accountability required of government bodies.
