(Any time we discuss women who don’t regret being denied abortion, people think we are claiming their perspectives are a reason to ban abortion. In fact, there are multiple reasons to take notice of these women’s experiences, regardless of your views on abortion laws.) Some people believe if a woman gives birth only because she couldn’t get an abortion, she’s likely to be an incompetent, neglectful, or abusive mother. We see versions of this idea from pro-choicers, for example when they assume abortion restrictions will mean “millions of unwanted children” go into the foster care sys ..read more

A committee of the US Congress has heard shocking testimony about alleged forced organ harvesting from Uyghurs and Falun Gong practitioners in China. The chairman of the Congressional-Executive Commission on China (CECC), Congressman Chris Smith, has been studying this issue for years. He is firmly convinced that China is permitting horrific violations of human rights. “Forced organ harvesting on an industrial scale in China is an atrocity unmatched in its wickedness—one has to go back to the horrific crimes committed in the 20th century by Hitler, Stalin, Mao, or Pol Pot to find comparably sy ..read more

This week, third party presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. added to his portfolio on the abortion issue. He offers some items that pro-lifers would agree with, some they would not. But what cannot be missed is that there is no backing off from his promise to “safeguard women’s reproductive rights.” Ryan Foley, who writes for the Christian Post headlined his story “RFK Jr. unveils new abortion platform: ‘More choices, more life.”’ He talked with pro-life leaders, including NRL President Carol Tobias. Mrs. Tobias pulled no punches. She told Foley “Robert F. Kennedy Jr. s ..read more

On Thursday the Arkansas House of Representatives passed S.B. 64 by Sen. John Payton (R – Wilburn) providing $2 million in state grant funding for pregnancy help organizations. The bill previously passed the Arkansas Senate. The funding will provide grants to pregnancy resource centers, maternity homes, adoption agencies, and other organizations that promote infant and maternal health and provide material support to women with unplanned pregnancies. In 2022 Family Council worked with the legislature and the governor to secure $1 million for pregnancy centers. This funding provided gr ..read more

Justice Samuel Alito asked Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar why the statute the government argues mandates emergency room doctors to perform abortions in a state that bans them uses the phrase “unborn child.” The Supreme Court heard oral arguments Wednesday in Moyle v. United States, the Biden administration’s challenge to Idaho’s Defense of Life Act, which prohibits abortion except when necessary to save the life of the mother and in cases of rape or incest. The Department of Justice (DOJ) sued the state not long after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, arguing Idaho’s law ..read more

A group of 24 states is fighting a decision by Joe Biden to yank Oklahoma’s health care funds just because it’s pro-life. Oklahoma has filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration for denying it federal health care funds because it refuses to use them to fund abortions. And almost half the states in the nation are coming to its defense. As LifeNews reported previously, pro-life states’ efforts to expand essential health care to women and families are being thwarted by the very same people who accuse these states of failing to provide it. First, it was Texas, and then Oklahoma was denied fu ..read more

Several pro-life pregnancy centers in Oklahoma are fighting back against one of the many pro-abortion items on Joe Biden’s agenda. Biden wants to force pregnancy centers to promote abortions instead of providing pregnant women with actual choices and options apart from ending their baby’s life. Alliance Defending Freedom filed a friend-of-the-court brief on behalf of several pro-life and religious medical associations Friday in State of Oklahoma v. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit. Senior Counsel Chris Schandevel told Li ..read more

American evangelicals consider immigration, U.S. sovereignty, and abortion to be the top issues facing the nation heading into November’s election, according to a new survey. Coral Ridge Ministries recently published its 2024 “Spiritual State of the Union” survey results, polling American evangelicals on everything from the economy to religious liberty to the president’s approval rating. One question asked was, “What are the three most critical issues facing the new Congress and administration?” Fifty-six percent of respondents named immigration as one of their top three, 33% named A ..read more

The director of the FBI is being accused of hypocrisy for allowing the targeting of concerned parents, Trump supporters, and American Catholics but not “monitoring” pro-Hamas rallies and protests on college campuses. Director Christopher Wray was asked in an interview on Tuesday about “actively monitoring” the rallies erupting across college and university campuses, which have become the subject of controversy and condemnation from even senior government officials. Wray replied, “We don’t monitor protests.” He added, “But we do share intelligence about specific threats of violence ..read more

In his 2021 inaugural address, President Biden remarked, “The will of the people has been heard, and the will of the people has been heeded. We have learned again that democracy is precious.” Then, a year later, this self-declared unifier sued my state for exercising democracy. Idaho passed the Defense of Life Act in 2020 to protect the lives of women and their unborn children. The law officially became enforceable in June 2022, when the Supreme Court ruled Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization that the people and their elected representatives in the states have ..read more
