On Friday, Planned Parenthood CEO Alexis McGill Johnson sounded the alarm over the Supreme Court overturning the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling. McGill Johnson declared that the decision “will ensure that people will be forced into pregnancy.” She advised that the “real challenge” would be that not everybody could travel to a state where abortion was legal now that abortion laws would be set by the states. “This decision now will ensure that people will be forced into pregnancy — no question about that,” McGill Johnson argued. “We are going to do everything we can to help every person who...

In a parallel multiverse far, far away, “Scoop” Rosenthal, managing editor for a major metropolitan newspaper, dives into an embarrassment of riches. “Hitchens, Woodward, and Pyle,” Scoop barks across the newsroom to his Capitol Hill team. “The Jan. 6 hearings. That trial is all prosecution and no defense. We need to tell the rest of the story. “Hitch, contact the Republicans Nancy Pelosi barred from the committee and find out what questions they would have asked. “Woodward, tell us why law enforcement was so unprepared to handle a storm they seemed to know was coming. Look into the claims that...

Then-candidate Donald Trump predicted in a 2016 presidential debate with Hillary Clinton that Roe v. Wade would be overturned “automatically” if he were elected. Responding to the moderator, Chris Wallace, Trump said if the ruling was reversed, laws on the legality of abortion would “go back to the individual states” to decide, which was the law of the nation before Roe v. Wade. Wallace pressed Trump again on whether he desired Roe v. Wade to be overturned, Trump responded by saying the case would be overturned if he were elected. “That will happen, automatically in my opinion because I am...

U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken has assured that Washington will continue to support Ukraine in opposing Russian aggression, and that Russia has already lost in the war it has waged.

As news of the Supreme Court's decision to end constitutional protections for abortion spread Friday morning, many in Southern California responded with a simple question: Where do we protest? The overturning of the landmark 1973 Roe vs. Wade decision will not hinder reproductive health access in California, where abortion will continue to be protected under state law. But the landscape on the ground will look painfully different in other parts of the country. The first Los Angeles crowds began to gather around noon outside a federal courthouse downtown . Standing with the growing crowd, Francisca Romero, a 25-year-old actress originally...

A Montgomery federal judge on Friday lifted the injunction preventing Alabama’s 2019 abortion ban from going into effect after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, meaning abortions are now illegal in Alabama except in cases where the life of the mother is in danger.

Michael Guest’s (R-MS) campaign trying to coordinate with Democrats for the primary runoff June 28. “Our campaign has received confirmation of what we have long suspected: that my opponent, Michael Guest, desperate after having finished an embarrassing second place in the primary, is now coordinating with Democrats to rig the run-off election this Tuesday,” Cassidy said in a statement.

The Texas Legislature passed a “trigger law” in 2021 that makes performing abortions in Texas a felony 30 days after the Supreme Court overrules Roe v.

Jackson Women’s Health Organization. “Texas is a pro-life state, and we have taken significant action to...

Democrats haven’t been this upset since we freed the slaves

Recently the Democrats have coined the phrase “election deniers” to smear those who worry about our lack of ballot security, as reflected in the 2020 election, by associating them with Holocaust deniers and other cranks. But who are the real election deniers? The Democrats haven’t conceded that a Republican was legitimately elected president since George H. W. Bush carried 40 states in 1988. The RNC put together this 12-minute video of Democratic Party election deniers. It is painful in some respects, but a useful reminder of how unprincipled the Democrats have been for a long time, and how hypocritical they...

WASHINGTON — In a memo distributed today by James Bopp, Jr. of The Bopp Law Firm, PC, general counsel for the National Right to Life Committee, NRLC proposed a Post-Roe Model Abortion law for the states to adopt, in the event that, in the upcoming decision in Dobbs v.

“‘In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets’” (Matthew 7:12). The perfect love of the heavenly Father is most reflected in His children when they treat others as they themselves wish to be treated. This verse is a summary of the Law and the Prophets. It’s also a paraphrase of the second great commandment, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself” (Matt. 22:39). How we treat others is not determined by how we expect them to treat us or by how we think they should treat...
