MADISON, Wis. (WMTV) - Wisconsin Republicans are circulating a bill that would require doctors prescribing at-home abortion pills to also give their patients catch kits, medical waste bags and instructions on how to return the medical waste afterwards. “Anytime we’re pushing back against the abortion industry, there’s gonna be pushback,” State Rep. Lindee Brill, R-Sheboygan Falls, one of the bill’s sponsors, said. Brill said she’s worried at-home abortion pills are contaminating Wisconsin’s waterways. The proposal is part of a nationwide push by Students for Life Action to promote the Clean Water for All Life Act, including in Wisconsin. “There’s two...

First Lady Melania Trump has unveiled the White House’s breathtaking Christmas decorations for 2025. The decorations were revealed in a video posted to social media by the first lady, writing that “home is where the heart is”. “This Christmas, let’s celebrate the love we hold within ourselves and share it with the world around us. After all, wherever we are, we can create a home filled with endless possibilities,” Melania wrote. ‘Home’ seems to be the main theme of Melania’s decorations this year to reflect patriotism and gratitude. The decorations seen at the White House this year will also honour...

A judge heard lawyers’ arguments Monday in a years-long lawsuit brought by a Jewish woman against Kentucky’s near-total abortion ban. A ruling could happen soon. Jessica Kalb has been waiting over three years for a court to decide if Kentucky law, including its ban on abortion, violates her religious freedom and puts her at risk of criminal prosecution if, as a patient pursuing in vitro fertilization, she eventually discards any frozen embryos that she doesn’t need. Kalb launched this lawsuit when she was 32 years old, just a few months after the U.S. Supreme Court’s Republican-appointed justices overturned Roe v....

A week after The Catholic Register in Canada revealed that pro-life advocate Alissa Golob went undercover while 22 weeks pregnant to test whether late-term abortions were accessible in Canada without medical justification, the national response continues to intensify, with a new twist: a fourth hidden-camera video that Golob says she is legally barred from releasing. Golob, co-founder of RightNow, posed as an undecided pregnant woman in abortion facilities in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, and Calgary in 2023. The Nov. 19 Register story detailed her conversations with clinic counselors and physicians who told her late-term abortions could be arranged at nearby hospitals,...

AUSTIN, TEXAS (KFOX14/CBS4) — Abortion providers and physicians from several states are warning about the impact of a new Texas law that will allow private citizens to sue anyone who distributes abortion medication. The law, House Bill 7, will allow private citizens to sue anyone who manufactures or distributes abortion drugs to or from Texas, including out-of-state physicians who use telehealth. The civil suits, if successful, would allow plaintiffs to be awarded a minimum of $100,000 against those who prescribe, mail, or distribute abortion pills to Texans. If the plaintiff is not directly related to the fetus, they would only...

Several applicants nominated Jared Taylor as an influence on their thought. Taylor is a prominent white nationalist, and the founder of the American Renaissance website, journal, and annual conference. For decades, Taylor has denied that he is a white supremacist

A reckoning is inevitable. Blasphemers who pass themselves off as clergy have been given more than enough rope to hang themselves with. Consider Rebecca Todd Peters. Via Brave: Rebecca Todd Peters is a feminist Christian social ethicist, ordained Presbyterian minister (PCUSA), and Professor of Religious Studies at Elon University, where she also founded and directs the Poverty and Social Justice Program. Her scholarship centers on globalization, economic and environmental justice, and reproductive justice. “Reproductive justice” is Liberalese for killing babies as a political cause. The unholy minister has hands-on experience. Hear her preach: “I felt God’s presence with me as...

A Minnesota judge is under scrutiny for overturning a $7.2 million fraud conviction of a couple who were found guilty of misappropriating Medicaid funds to support their “lavish lifestyle” of fancy cars and designer duds. Abdifatah Yusuf, 44, was charged in June 2024 and found guilty in August 2025 after he and his wife were accused of stealing millions from Minnesota’s Medicaid program while running a healthcare business out of their home, according to a release from the Minnesota Attorney General’s Office. Yusuf was found guilty of six counts of aiding and abetting theft by swindle by a jury, but...

Nothing less than a clear and firm correction of the priests who conspired to abuse the sacraments and confuse the Catholic Church’s unambiguous teaching on homosexuality will suffice.Gio Benitez, an openly gay-identified ABC News anchor, was recently confirmed into the Catholic Church, accompanied by his “husband” — who served as his “sponsor.”The confirmation Mass took place last month at the brazenly pro-LGBT Church of St. Paul the Apostle in Manhattan. The historic landmark is the mother church of the Paulist Fathers – a, as writer Glenn Stanton noted, “rapidly dying” liberal order of priests. There were 98 active Paulist priests...

Today the NY Times has published the story of a trans woman named Jennifer Capasso. Capasso, who lives in New York, was diagnosed with multiple tumors which had spread throughout to various organs. Capasso was still getting medical treatment, including surgeries to remove the tumors, at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in Manhattan. In March 2022, Capasso set her phone to record what the doctors were saying during the operation.“I wanted to know what’s going on,” she recounted. She turned on the audio recorder on her phone before the anesthesia hit. “Knowledge is power.”The surgeon removed part of her lung....

The United Kingdom needs to be turned off and rebooted. No, I take that back. It needs a whole new operating system. The current one has become infected with a virus that has scrambled everything, and there is no way to set things right. In the opposite world view this is totally fine. pic.twitter.com/v5CahE52GL— Rich Stewart 🔰 (@richdstew) November 29, 2025If you think this story is bonkers, it really is only the tip of the iceberg.

A record 16,499 people died by euthanasia in Canada in 2024, accounting for 5.1% of all deaths in the country. According to the latest report on “medical assistance in dying” (MAiD) from Health Canada released at the end of last month, there was a 6.9% increase in state-assisted deaths in Canada in 2024. In 2024, although assisted suicide is permitted, in which the person who wishes to end their own life self-administers the lethal substance, there was not a single case of assisted suicide. Instead, every single person who died under Canada’s MAiD programme died by euthanasia. In 2023, there...

Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy declared on Monday that the "days of a 'Wild Wild West' trucking industry are over" amid the Trump administration's crackdown on illegal alien drivers. In a post on X, Duffy responded to an Associated Press report that read, "BREAKING: Nearly 44% of U.S. truck driving schools could close after a federal review found many may be out of compliance with government rules."

he U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit ruled Monday that two nonprofit pro-life pregnancy centers in New York and a nonprofit network of affiliated centers, all represented by Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys, are free to tell women about the life-saving potential of using progesterone for abortion pill reversal while their lawsuit continues. Last year, New York Attorney General Letitia James sued 11 faith-based, life-affirming pregnancy centers in state court in an effort to silence their speech about counteracting the effects of the abortion drug mifepristone using supplemental progesterone, a treatment commonly known as “abortion-pill reversal.” Her enforcement action...

Far-left New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani hasn’t even taken office yet, but the state has already been hard at work coddling illegal aliens and defying the Trump administration’s efforts to get criminal non-citizens off the streets. In fact, in this year alone, they’ve released almost 7,000 illegals, some of them accused of nasty crimes.These are the kind of people the left-leaning state is protecting instead of its citizens:New York state has released nearly 7,000 known illegal migrant criminals without notifying ICE since President Trump took office — including murderers, sexual predators and a maniac booted from the US eight...

Americans have always prided themselves on being the "melting pot" of the world. It used to be that there was nowhere else on the planet that people wanted to immigrate to more. That melting pot has created a culture that is second to none. The food, music, and many customs from people around the world have blended to create an American culture that is beautiful in so many ways. But in the post 9/11 era, it's safe to say that some practices from other parts of the world are not welcome and are simply incompatible with Western and, more specifically,...

The simple effort of religious sisters sending postcards and Christmas cards can be a lifeline to workers feeling trapped and searching for a way out of the abortion industry. A beautiful, behind-the-scenes project has been taking place during the Christmas season for the past five years. Religious sisters from convents across the country have been sending Christmas cards to abortion centers, letting the staff there know they are prayed for, and that help is available if they’re interested in finding other work. Sr. Christina Nazareth, a Capuchin Sister who lives in a Williamsport, Pennsylvania convent, received a letter from And...

Hundreds of pro-life students from Christendom College prayed outside a Virginia abortion facility as part of the annual “Mega Shield” event. Students from the Front Royal Catholic college traveled an hour and a half to Falls Church, Virginia for the November 15 event. Students in the Shield of Roses Club regularly pray outside the abortion facility on other days as well. The group said more than two hundred students attended – the school’s total enrollment is just around 550. The event is part of the students’ “identity” as Catholics, the club’s president told The College Fix. “Mega Shield is an...

The week-old media frenzy over the sinking of a drug-running speedboat by the U.S. military in international waters on September 2 showed the first signs of winding down today. The issue was driven by a Washington Post account that was as much a paint-by-numbers narrative and a Rorschach test for your feelings on Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, as it was investigative reporting; see Washington Post Accuses Pete Hegseth of 'Illegal Order' to Kill Drug Runners, but Is It Real? – RedState. The article claimed that Hegseth instructed military commanders to kill "[t]wo survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck."...

The founder of Dignitas, a controversial assisted suicide organization, ended his own life at age 92, the group announced Monday. It’s a tragic irony that underscores the dehumanizing consequences of the deadly practice. Ludwig Minelli, a former journalist and human rights lawyer, died November 29 through what Dignitas described as “voluntary assisted dying,” just days before his 93rd birthday on December 5. The Zurich-based death group, which Minelli established in 1998 to enable people to end their lives “on their own terms,” provided no further details about the circumstances of his death. Dignitas, one of Switzerland’s most prominent suicide killers,...
