Carlson showed a clip of Pelosi’s statement about the impeachment...

Only a quarter of evangelicals in the United States believe abortion should be illegal in all cases, according to a new poll showing that a majority of self-identified Christians in the U.S. identify as “pro-choice” and less than half of evangelicals identify as “pro-life.”Save the Storks, a pro-life organization that partners with pregnancy centers to provide women with free ultrasounds, released a new survey this week that it sponsored through the research firm Magid. The survey is based on online interviews with 1,000 adults nationwide ages 18 to 69 conducted in May to gauge Americans’ opinions and attitudes on abortion.“There’s...

Vatican quietly stands by as UN once again vigorously pushes abortion, population control November 13, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – When the UN Population Fund announced it was holding a meeting in Nairobi, Kenya, to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) held in Cairo, alarm bells went off in my head. The original Cairo conference was a full-throated effort by UN bureaucrats and their pro-abortion allies in D.C. and foreign capitals to promote abortion and population control around the world.  It was turned back only by the combined efforts of the Vatican and a handful...

Bishop Joseph Strickland of Tyler, Texas, expressed disgust over a video that featured two LGBT activists telling a classroom of school kids that boys can become girls and girls can become boys and one’s “identity” can change over time. The LGBT activists told the children that "genitals actually don't determine our gender," and that “some people born with vulvas can...

TEXAS, November 12, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – As the Trump administration opens the door to legitimate health organizations receiving money that previously went to the abortion industry, pro-life pregnancy centers are hoping to seize the opportunity to grow. But one Texas-based pregnancy center alliance is trying to do so with an inconsistent stand on birth-control methods that can function as abortifacients. In February, the Trump administration finalized the Protect Life Rule, which requires “clear financial and physical separation between Title X-funded projects and programs or facilities where abortion is a method of family planning” and bans “referral for abortion as a...

As we approach the 2020 election, and with impeachment news daily in the headlines, there are Christian leaders who prophesy that Donald Trump will indeed win. It is an untold story of prophecies and spiritual signs that is off the radar screen of the secular media, which would never cover it except to ridicule. Yet many Christians believe God still actively guides us not only through the Bible, but through the Holy Spirit and spiritual gifts. Most Americans are aware that our nation is deeply divided, and the campaign season for the 2020 election is bringing that to light as...

Today's America is an EXPONENTIAL lawless swamp; full of demonic alligators, demonic tyranny and demonic strongholds; oppressing, enslaving and chaining millions (Eph.6:12). O that America would cry out to their ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator for ETERNAL salvation and deliverance from His RIGHTEOUS judgment (John 3:16-17, 36)! Our cry as blood brought saints to America is not, "God bless America", but "God SAVE Americans!" Almighty God’s Word states overabundantly and emphatically that it is Jesus ALONE that rescues, saves and delivers one's soul from ETERNAL ruin (John 3:16-17, 14:6, Acts 4:12, 16:29-31)! We pray for Americans every day that they would wake...

Well, I guess there is nothing stopping the Tolerant Left from trying to force the Little Sisters of the Poor into violating their religious beliefs by providing contraception, abortion, and sterilization coverage, among other evils. In fact, there is a decided effort by the left to eviscerate the conscience rights of anyone who does not embrace the left’s high sacrament styled as “reproductive freedom.” This issue, of course, arises out of the Obama administration’s Affordable Care Act (ACA), better known as Obamacare. Interestingly, the ACA does not require coverage of the above-mentioned sacrament. It does, however, authorize the executive branch...

A legal group that defends religious freedom has discovered evidence that Planned Parenthood is behind an effort in California to force religious organizations to provide abortion coverage. The case centers around a California church that filed a federal lawsuit against a state health agency for forcing them to pay for elective abortions in their health insurance plans. In August 2014, Skyline Wesleyan Church in La Mesa was notified by California's Department of Managed Health Care (DMHC) that the health insurance plans they offered to employees must include coverage for elective abortions. Skyline Pastor Lisa Amann said, "As Christians, we are...
