You can be pro-abortion, as the Washington Post is through and through, and still come to conclusions that advance the cause of life. Examples? I don’t know if I can find more than one instance from the WaPo’s editorial page, but yesterday it did reach a sound conclusion on the same topic for a second time. To wit, the editorial clobbered Judge Indira Talwani, an Obama appointee, for blocking, for a second time,” a “legitimate, politically accountable decision” on “flimsy legal grounds”. What are they talking about? Presidents too often try to advance their agendas unilaterally. Yet when it comes...

A Christian college student in California has successfully established a pro-life club on her campus, overcoming an initial rejection by school administrators who cited concerns over political affiliations, in a win for pro-life advocates. Linda-Isabella Rendon, a sophomore pre-nursing major at Vanguard University, founded the group after her application to start a chapter of Students for Life of America was denied earlier this year. The private Christian university rejected the proposal, stating it did not permit political or ideological student organizations. Rendon met with university President Michael Beals following the denial, but the decision remained unchanged. Students for Life intervened...

After federal judge Indira Talwani sided with Democrats to block the defunding of Big Abortion in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act for a third time, Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America slammed the pro-abortion activism in a statement: “The Democrats and their radical activist judges are desperately seeking to thwart the will of the people and bail out the Big Abortion industry, led by Planned Parenthood. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act is federal law passed by Congress and signed by the president. Planned Parenthood’s more than 40 closures this year are a reflection not only of taxpayers finally having...

Justice Elena Kagan emerged as an unexpected critic of New Jersey’s position Tuesday as the Supreme Court weighed whether a faith-based crisis pregnancy center may challenge a state subpoena in federal court. Her pointed questioning suggested she may join the court’s conservatives in siding with First Choice Women’s Resource Centers, which argues that New Jersey’s investigation threatens its First Amendment rights. Why It Matters The case stems from a subpoena issued by Democratic Attorney General Matthew Platkin’s consumer-protection division, seeking information from First Choice—including a list of its donors—as part of a probe into whether the center misled women about...

WASHINGTON — Conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas got a lawyer for the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office to admit Tuesday it mounted a “fishing expedition” against a pro-life organization without receiving specific complaints about the group. Thomas drilled down on the investigation of First Choice Women’s Resource Centers during oral arguments in a case challenging a subpoena the organization received from AG Matthew Platkin’s office. “You had no basis to think that they were deceiving any of their contributors?” Thomas asked Chief Counsel Sundeep Iyer. “We certainly had complaints about crisis pregnancy centers,” Iyer deflected before admitting none specifically...

Abortion activists in South Carolina have been caught on an undercover video taking a 15-year-old girl to an abortion center for a secret abortion. Undercover footage released by the pro-life group Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust exposes a multi-state abortion fund secretly transporting a minor for an abortion two hours away, despite the parent’s clear disapproval. The video, captured by an undercover journalist posing as a 15-year-old girl, shows interactions with abortion activists with the Palmetto State Abortion Fund. The footage documents the operation from pickup at the Myrtle Beach Mall to a Planned Parenthood clinic in Charleston that was...

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...

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...

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 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...

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...

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 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,...

Overcoming disruption, transforming the AIDS response. On 1 December WHO joins partners and communities to commemorate World AIDS Day 2025, under the theme "Overcoming disruption, transforming the AIDS response", calling for sustained political leadership, international cooperation, and human-rights-centred approaches to end AIDS by 2030. After decades of progress, the HIV response stands at a crossroads. Life-saving services are being disrupted, and many communities face heightened risks and vulnerabilities. Yet amid these challenges, hope endures in the determination, resilience, and innovation of communities who strive to end AIDS.

Buried in a recent study published by researchers with the Guttmacher Institute (Planned Parenthood's former research arm and "special affiliate") is the real reason why reports indicate a huge spike in abortions since the end of Roe v. Wade in June of 2022: mail-order abortion. Key Takeaways: * The Guttmacher Institute notes that telehealth abortion with the ability to mail abortion pills to abortion seekers has contributed to the increased abortion numbers since the end of Roe v. Wade. * In 2023 and 2024, Guttmacher and #WeCount reported increased abortion numbers overall, with the abortion pill comprising about 63% of...
