Yesterday, I delivered an address at Wellesley College in Massachusetts as the first stop on my fall speaking tour entitled, The Future Is Anti Abortion: Preparing For A Post-Roe America.I was eager to speak at Wellesley because I believe it’s crucial to engage with students who don’t understand the pro-life worldview. And ahead of my visit, Wellesley students provided ample evidence that they hate not what we actually believe, but what they think we believe. Students prepared for my visit by disseminating a 30-page document in which they attached every unfounded, trendy label they could to smear my name and...

Was there a time in living memory when America was more divided? I’m 66, and I certainly can’t remember any time like today. Can you? It seems as if the right and the left are becoming more and more polarized, with less and less people in the center. From woke ideology to race issues to political divides to LGBTQ activism to religious conflicts to cancel culture to immigration, the divisions are deep and broad. But the ultimate dividing line is abortion. On no other issue are the passions so intense. And no other issue has such massive court cases attached...

This year’s Women’s March has a new name: the “Rally for Abortion Justice.” On Sept. 27, the Washington Post reported that the Women’s March would return to Washington, D.C., this fall “to fight for abortion access.” Organizers are expecting the D.C. event on Saturday, Oct. 2, to attract up to 10,000 people – not counting those attending the 600 sister marches nationwide. The march began in 2017 as a reaction to the election of Donald Trump as president. Now, the focus is on abortion. It’s a theme that promises to divide – rather than unite – women. “Most of the...

Politicians who support pro-abortion legislation are engaging in a new trend: publicly citing their faith while addressing abortion. This easily leads to confusion when a politician’s position on abortion disagrees with his or her religion. It’s a distinction that many in the media all too often miss. Most recently, these comments tying abortion and faith together are from politicians who identify as Catholic, a religion that recognizes abortion as a grave evil. The latest example comes from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), who openly cited her Catholic faith while defending taxpayer-funded abortion. “As a devout Catholic and mother of five...

Source: Myra AdamsEvangelical Christians, who once were content with staying out of earthly concerns, have grown into an influential subset of American politics. Not all who identify with this label vote in unison. They voted in large numbers in 1976 for Jimmy Carter, but reversed course in 1980 and went for Ronald Reagan. In subsequent elections, a majority has voted for Republican candidates. In the 2020 election, this subset created a new subset. They called themselves "Pro-life Evangelicals for Biden." Their members include Jerusha Duford, the granddaughter of the late Reverend Billy Graham -- the evangelist who came to regret...

CNN's energetic switch from Trump Derangement to Biden Exceptionalism runs roughshod over their supposed devotion to "Facts First."On Sunday, reporters Michael Warren and Arlette Saenz blatantly boosted Joe Biden as a man of devout faith, touting he would be the only president in decades to attend church. Decades? Really? Did CNN not remember that President George W. Bush was well known as a very religious man who attended church?Oops! Well, apparently somebody pointed out that obvious fact overlooked by CNN and they updated their story which was originally titled, "Biden's Catholic faith will be on full display as the first...

Good pastors don’t contradict the Bible's teaching, and you don't need to read very far to see that human life is precious.In the upcoming Senate runoffs, candidate Raphael Warnock has a unique trait he’s leveraging to sway Georgia’s religious populace: his role as a church leader. Given his controversial support for the legality of abortion, Warnock’s titles of “reverend” and “pastor” could be critical assets. Those who look past Warnock’s titles to the Bible’s teachings, however, will see that his abortion views conflict with biblical truths about the value of unborn life.Warnock is proudly “pro-choice,” vowing to use the power...

The Stone Roses singer joined the red pill-devouring ranks with a series of anti-lockdown missives. What is it with musicians and not believing the TRUTH?If I could be locked down in a house full of rock stars – the kind we’re always being offered to pick from on social media – it would contain Matt Bellamy, Tom DeLonge, B.o.B., George Clinton, and Jim Corr as the live-in landlord. We’re talking Conspiracy House. A mansion stuffed with alien watchers, kabbalah mystics and exposers of shadowy one-world power cartels. How brilliant would that be? Imagine the wild nights spent crushing up red...

It was a warm day in late August. I was helping others from our pregnancy help center set up a table at the welcome fair which our local state college hosts each year for incoming freshmen. As I arranged brochures, fetal models, and candy, I noticed something interesting. On the other side of the path, Planned Parenthood was setting up a table, too. At first, the placement of two entities with such vastly different philosophies seemed super awkward. But then I sensed the Holy Spirit prompting me to cross the divide and serve the women at that table. I introduced...

Abortion giant Planned Parenthood took to Twitter to scold CNN and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) for omitting abortion as an issue during the Democrat Party debate Tuesday evening. “Tonight, voters missed an opportunity to hear how Democratic candidates will approach a fundamental issue that impacts their lives,” Planned Parenthood posted, as MRC NewsBusters observed. “Candidates spent more than 30 minutes debating health care, but it’s meaningless if we cannot access it.”

Remember these statements by Democrats seeking to become their party’s presidential nominee? “I believe that reproductive rights are human rights, they are civil rights, and they are non-negotiable,” Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York said in an interview with The Atlantic earlier this month. “We must be vigilant in protecting a woman’s right to choose,” Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey said on Twitter in January. “… now more than ever, we must remain steadfast in our defense of a woman’s right to choose,” Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii said in a statement on the 40th anniversary of the landmark...

Planned Parenthood employees and educators “celebrate” abortion and do not protect young women, former employees told The Daily Caller News Foundation in a series of interviews revealing graphic details about their tenures with the organization. Myra Kincaid worked as a surgical assistant at a Planned Parenthood in Baltimore, Maryland, from February 2013 to February 2014, she said. Planned Parenthood called Kincaid shortly before she graduated college to recruit her, Kincaid told The Daily Caller News Foundation. She previously worked as a pharmacy technician and was in school to become a medical assistant. Kincaid said Planned Parenthood didn’t emphasize abortion at...

“I think that somebody should have required — and this is going to sound very harsh. I think somebody should have required all those members of Congress to go in a room, in a locked room, no press, nobody else, and look at the autopsy photographs of those babies. And then you vote your conscience. This has become a political issue.”

November 19, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – It’s November 7 in South Dakota. The night is well below freezing. The Augustana University Republican and Life Runners clubs have teamed up and spent the evening chalking the sidewalks with messages defending the right to life. These messages included Bible verses, statistics, and blunt proclamations in the hopes of stirring up a discussion on the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) campus. A discussion was what they got, but not before things began “slipping” toward madness and mayhem. The pro-life messages were meant to be seen, and they were. Unfortunately, pro-abortion students didn’t respond with principled...

During Wednesday’s Senate hearing concerning foreign influence on social media platforms, Twitter founder and CEO Jack Dorsey stated that his goal in combating the proliferation of fake or misleading accounts was to amplify the voices of active journalists on the site. That’s nice, but since Dorsey has admitted his company is “left-leaning,” we’re left to wonder which journalists he wants to promote. Senator Angus King (I-ME) noted that “the heart of free and fair election is information,” and asked Dorsey and Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg whether their companies have been making strides to educate users as to threats of online...

Walmart is removing the sex-obsessed, pro-abortion women’s magazine “Cosmopolitan” from its checkout shelves. The retail chain announced the change this week after considering concerns raised by parents and conservative groups about the content of the magazine, USA Today reports. “While this was primarily a business decision, the concerns raised were heard,” Walmart spokesperson Meggan Kring said. “Cosmpolitan” often displays scantily clad women on its front covers, along with headlines promoting risky sexual behavior and other objectionable content. It also regularly advocates for abortion on demand. Inside its pages, Cosmo has criticized late-term abortion bans and justified eugenic abortions of disabled...

When it comes to advertising on the D.C. metro, free speech is in for a bumpy ride. In a classic case of viewpoint discrimination, a federal judge is siding with the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) for turning down ad space to the Catholic Church. WMATA defended the move by saying it bans “religious, political, or advocacy” messages (depending on who’s defining them, apparently, since the Human Rights Campaign still enjoys a prominent space in the subway’s line-up). Even so, the Archdiocese of Washington complains, nothing about their message was overtly spiritual. The scene is three wise men, two...

Hillary Clinton, Ashley Judd, Jane Fonda, Gloria Steinem, and other media powerhouses had a strong message for men and women alike. As the marquee honoree at the annual Women’s Media Awards, former Secretary of State Clinton, put it best: “I don’t intend to be silenced.” The Women’s Media Center, which aims to support women in the newsroom, honored Clinton, Fonda, and Judd, on Thursday at Capitale in New York City, for their contributions toward women’s rights. Fonda and Judd called for women to seize the moment and focus on making lasting change. Judd, one of the first women to publicly...

The Republican Party has clashed with Planned Parenthood (PP) on a level that would equal any MMA death match. Republicans argue against funding PP because the organization is the principal source for abortions in the country and it is against the law to use federal funds for the procedure. PP argues it provides a multitude of services to 2.5 million different women and the money is used for services other than abortion. The Republicans miss the best reason to argue against funding PP. If you go to the PP website, you will see that the services they speak to are...

Two of the most powerful companies in the world are co-sponsoring a protest against a pro-life women’s health care clinic that provides free medical services and counseling to pregnant women — just not abortions.
