In the video, Lawler says it “gives [her] great joy” to wish Leavitt would suffer a fourth-degree tear during childbirth — the most severe type of obstetric tear — using explicit and profane language. Fourth-degree tears extend through muscle...

Vance, speaking at the event themed “Life is a Gift,” described the 2022 Dobbs ruling — which overturned Roe v.

ice President JD Vance and conservative influencer Laura Loomer traded jabs on social media Friday after Loomer questioned why Republicans were “pushing more abortion messaging” ahead of the November midterms. “Why is the GOP pushing more abortion messaging in a midterm election year? Didn’t they learn their lesson in 2018? Loomer wrote on the social platform X on Friday afternoon. “Trump doesn’t like it when the GOP focuses on abortion,” she added. “How many times does he have to say this?” “Trump gets it,” Loomer concluded, predicting that the GOP “will blow the midterms.”

President Donald Trump on Wednesday marked National Sanctity of Human Life Day with a statement condemning abortion because every unborn child also has a right to life. Trump is renewing his administration’s “steadfast commitment to fostering a culture that respects, upholds, and cherishes the inherent dignity and infinite worth of every precious human soul,” calling the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision a “moral and constitutional atrocity” and praising the Supreme Court’s 2022 reversal that returned abortion policy to the states.

The Small Business Administration (SBA) is probing whether affiliates of abortion giant Planned Parenthood illegally received $88 million in Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans during the COVID-19 pandemic. “At the height of the pandemic, affiliates of Planned Parenthood took $88 million in taxpayer dollars to fund their abortion-on-demand agenda—and the Biden administration made sure they got nearly every cent forgiven, even after the first Trump administration protested,” SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler told The Daily Signal. “Six years later, the Trump SBA holds the same conviction: Planned Parenthood Federation of America was never eligible to receive a dime in pandemic-era relief...

An elderly woman was euthanized within hours of her husband claiming she changed her mind after insisting she wanted to live. Canada's Medical Assistance in Dying laws allow patients to request a painless death if an assessor agrees their terminal condition meets certain requirements. Patients often wait weeks, but it can happen the same day the application is lodged if judged to be medically urgent by a MAiD provider. But a report by the Ontario MAiD Death Review Committee raised concerns that safeguards were being eroded that led to questionable deaths. One case study was that of a woman in...

Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion hub, has invaded what some would assume to be unlikely territory. Rather than further infiltrating Democrat-led states, secular universities, and other places where abortion is commonly promoted and embraced, numerous Christian colleges have been exposed for latching onto a relationship with the abortion industry. Students for Life of America (SFLA) recently released the data through its Demetree Institute for Pro-Life Advancement Christian Schools Project. In its fourth annual report, 725 Christian colleges and universities across America were investigated, with researchers “examining each institution’s public materials, resources, partnerships and student-facing programs to identify ties to...

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison has insisted that the FACE Act only applies to abortion clinics, coming as the Department of Justice is probing possible violations of the law in relation to the storming of a St Paul church by anti-ICE agitators. Speaking on former CNN host Don Lemon’s podcast, Ellison said, "Yeah, I'm familiar with the FACE Act. You know, in Minnesota, we have—we uphold the right of a woman to choose, and some of the activists, you know, will, you know, sort of—you know, they, so it’s…" He continued, "The law has to do with the, you know,...

A bill introduced in the Washington State Senate would establish a funding stream for abortions by imposing a new assessment on certain health insurance carriers. The proposed measure drew swift criticism from a conservative group that is urging Washingtonians to oppose it. SB Bill 6182, introduced Jan. 16 during the 69th Legislature’s 2026 regular session, would create an “abortion savings program” run by the Washington Department of Health. The program would distribute grants to “eligible organizations” that employ “health care providers authorized to terminate a pregnancy.” Under the bill, health insurance carriers that offer plans through Washington’s health exchange would...

New York state has abandoned its nearly decade-long push to require Christian organizations, including nuns and churches, to fund abortions. The radically pro-abortion state has tried to make Christians pay for killing babies through employee health insurance plans. But it’s decision to finally give up marks a significant victory for religious freedom advocates after repeated interventions by the U.S. Supreme Court. The state ended its effort to apply the abortion mandate to Catholic and Anglican nuns, Catholic dioceses, Christian churches, and faith-based social ministries, according to a settlement announced by Becket, the religious liberty law firm representing the groups. The...

As states enact bans on abortion following the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade, Planned Parenthood is expanding its vasectomy sales, citing a surge in demand for permanent birth control options nationwide. Planned Parenthood of Michigan has resumed offering vasectomies at its Irwin/Martin health center in Grand Rapids, with plans to expand to other locations this year. The move comes after the pro-abortion organization halted the service about a decade ago, but officials say renewed interest spiked after the 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision, which shifted abortion to the states. “The demand is real and present,”...

The Supreme Court of India now holds the fate of a single young man and, with him, the moral direction of the country. If the justices authorize the withdrawal of food and fluids from 31-year-old Harish Rana, they will not only decide how one life ends. They will create India’s first concrete case of court-sanctioned “passive euthanasia” under the Common Cause framework and set a precedent for every similarly vulnerable person who cannot speak in their own defense. Common Cause is the 2018 judgment in which the Court read a “right to die with dignity” into Article 21 of the...
