Over the weekend I saw a link on Facebook to a blog entry that appeared, coincidentally, on my birthday. It was a reflection titled “My Other Daughter”. I had been alerted about the contents, but otherwise would not have known initially that this was both a tribute to and a quiet plea for forgiveness from the child she had aborted at that point twenty three years before. I naturally thought of what is for men the classic post-abortion story–”Remembering Thomas: Responsibility, Guilt and a Child Who Never Was,” written by Phil McCombs, then of the Washington Post. In the beginning you migh ..read more

Regardless of which poll you read, pro-abortion Vice President Kamala Harris’s popularity—36% or 37%–is even lower than equally pro-abortion President Joe Biden. As a recent USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll concluded, “she  outside of the Democratic tent.” Clearly this is the case as the same poll found, according to J.T. Young, “Harris’ approval rating is just 28% among independent voters and 4% among Republicans.” So her major job assignment is to go from one state to another whipping up as much hysteria as she can over abortion. Needless to say, at the top of the talking points i ..read more

Kamala Harris recently brought her abortion tour to the Philadelphia suburbs. It is a tour of desperation, fueled by the false belief that abortion offers women freedom. I wish that Kamala had taken time to speak with an acquaintance of mine, Becky. Becky was deeply scarred by abortion. I have heard her often speak of it, the tears falling from her eyes. She has subsequently turned her heartache into hope, establishing an organization to reach out to women facing unexpected pregnancies. I admire Becky for her resilience and her ability to overcome tragedy. But I wish for all the world that she ..read more

In November, Colorado voters will decide whether the “right” to abortion gets added to our constitution or not. If passed, you’ll have to start paying for abortions with your tax dollars. After months of deceptively collecting signatures for this ballot initiative, on April 18th, Colorado’s coalition of radical pro-abortion groups submitted petition signatures to the Secretary of State to put their “right to abortion” amendment on the November ballot. They want to shove extreme abortion policy down our throats and force us to pay for it. Why are they doing this if abortion is already legal thr ..read more

A recent study is declaring U.S. abortion law to be “far more permissive than the vast majority of the world.” In its 2024 report on “Gestational Limits on Abortion in the United States Compared to International Norms,” published last week, the pro-life Charlotte Lozier Institute found that the U.S. is one of only eight countries in the United Nations that allows abortion on demand without any gestational limits, and one of only 15 countries in the U.N. to allow abortion on demand past 15 weeks of pregnancy. The U.N. has 193 member states. Other countries that place no gestational li ..read more

The nature-rights movement isn’t about conservation or responsible husbanding of the natural world. Rather, it seeks to handcuff human thriving by preventing most uses of our natural resources. But it sounds soooo nice, doesn’t it? Well, the Colorado town of Nederland has learned the hard way that granting “rights” to waterways impedes all kinds of beneficial projects. From the Colorado Sun story: The town of Nederland leaders loved their wild watersheds so much they passed a resolution for “rights of nature” to protect local rivers, and bolstered that by appointing t ..read more

Abortion advocates are not content to just scream and shout about pro-life laws protecting babies from abortion. They are taking their protests even further by sterilizing themselves. Last month, medical researchers published a paper analyzing data on “permanent contraceptive procedures” among 18- to 30-year-olds. As LifeNews has previously reported, liberal men are getting vasectomies in record numbers to protest abortion bans across the country in the wake of the Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade. Liberal women are getting tubals as well to avoid having to deal with aboriton b ..read more

Biden administration Ambassador to the Holy See Joe Donnelly will reportedly deliver the keynote speech at Saturday’s graduation ceremony for Calumet College of St. Joseph (CCSJ) in Hammond, Indiana. Donnelly is a pro-LGBTQ Democrat who professes to be Catholic. He claims to be pro-life but had at best a mixed voting record on abortion during his tenure in the U.S. Senate. The politician served a single six-year term in the upper chamber from 2013 to 2019, representing Indiana. He was defeated for re-election by Republican Mike Braun. Donnelly previously served three terms in the U.S. House fr ..read more

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. expressed support for full-term abortions during a recent interview with podcast hostess Sage Steele. Kennedy is a self-professed Catholic. On Wednesday’s episode of her show, Steele asked Kennedy if he preferred leaving abortion “up to the states.” “No, I wouldn’t leave it to the states,” the candidate answered. I believe we should leave it to the woman. We shouldn’t have [the] government involved.” “Even if it’s full-term?” Steele asked. “Even if it’s full-term,” Kennedy agreed. Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk on Thur ..read more

Bishop Thomas Paprocki of the Diocese of Springfield, Illinois, made a video statement on Thursday calling out President Joe Biden for making the Sign of the Cross at a recent pro-abortion event. “Last month on April 23, Biden compounded his support for the sin of abortion by making the Sign of the Cross during an abortion rally in Tampa, FL,” Paprocki said. “Making the Sign of the Cross is one of the most profound gestures a Catholic can make in showing reverence for Christ’s death on the Cross and belief in the Holy Trinity.” “To misuse this sacred death is to make a mockery of our Catholic ..read more
