Absolutely shocking and ultra-woke comments from the liberal media darling James Talarico, a Texas State Representative, have surfaced as he tries to become the first Democrat in more than 30 years to win in Texas. As The Gateway Pundit’s Jordan Conradson reported, Talarico upset Jasmine Crockett in Tuesday’s Democratic Primary race for US Senate. Talarico had 52% of the votes, scoring a rather large single-digit win over Crockett. Crockett predicted her loss late last night and blamed “cheating,” though she later conceded defeat and endorsed Talarico. Following his primary victory, X accounts dug up some fairly old videos of Talarico...

James Talarico, a Texas lawmaker, won the Democratic race to run for U.S. Senate. As a Democrat, he strongly supports abortion. What has surprised many Texans is not just his position, but the way he defends it. He says the Bible supports his view. Talarico grew up in a Christian Presbyterian church and often talks about his faith. But his explanation of Scripture ignores what the Bible teaches about the value of Life, especially the lives of babies in the womb. Around the time the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, allowing Texas to protect preborn children, Talarico preached a...

A South Korean woman and two doctors have been convicted of murder after a baby delivered by caesarian section was placed in a freezer and left to die. Prosecutors said the child was born alive at 36 weeks before the killing took place. Medical records were later falsified to indicate the baby had been stillborn. The case marks the first time murder charges have been brought in South Korea against a woman over what has been described as a late-term termination, as well as against the doctors involved. The woman, identified only by her surname, Kwon, is in her 20s....

Luxembourg just wrote abortion into its constitution. On March 3, Luxembourg’s Chamber of Deputies voted to add the “freedom” to have an abortion to the country’s highest law. The initiative began when MP Marc Baum of déi Lénk introduced the proposal in 2024, then pushed it through the legislative pipeline in 2025, including review by the State Council. Along the way, lawmakers contorted themselves into knots and deliberately shifted the text from a claimed “right” to a “freedom,” a rhetorical dodge that changes the label while keeping the same moral claim: the state should publicly bless the deliberate destruction of...

Facing a $100 million revenue shortfall largely due to federal Medicaid reimbursement cuts, Planned Parenthood Mar Monte, the largest affiliate of the national abortion business, has begun selling Botox injections and other cosmetic procedures to generate new income. The affiliate, which serves Northern California and Nevada, is introducing the services amid significant financial pressures. It closed five abortion clinics and laid off nearly 15% of its staff in 2025 after losing substantial Medicaid funding following a July spending bill under President Trump. Stacy Cross, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Mar Monte, said of the funding gap, “We’ll never fill...

Louisville, KY—The recent lawsuit filed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton against Aid Access and its operators further validates the urgency facing Kentucky. The Texas Attorney General has taken legal action against Aid Access GmbH, Aid Access B.V., and associated individuals operating an international abortion-by-mail enterprise that allegedly ships abortion-inducing drugs into Texas in direct defiance of state law. Kentucky is confronting similar aggressive and intentional targeting. Kentucky Right to Life has spoken out, and we will continue to highlight entities such as Aid Access, ABUZZ, Safe Choice, and AbortionFinder who actively market abortion-inducing drugs to Kentucky girls and women...

What to know about the nature, the mindset, the over-riding presumptions that power the pro-abortionist? In many cases, of course, their bottom line—an abiding contempt for unborn babies (second only for their hatred of us) — is shockingly clear. But if that scorn is obvious to us, isn’t that animosity towards the little one even more self-evident to them? How can they not see what they are doing, and to whom? Let’s take a moment to explore the mechanisms they use to shield themselves from the cruelty on display, what they are doing to hapless unborn babies. There is a...

A fire station in Rapid City, South Dakota, has opened the state’s first Safe Haven Baby Box. Communities in South Dakota have discussed bringing baby boxes to the state for years — a push that increased after the body of baby Gabriel was found at a Sioux Falls recycling center in 2024, KELO reported. “That same week after baby Gabriel was found there was another phone call that came into Safe Haven looking for a box in South Dakota. So, there was a second baby where the mother was looking to surrender the baby and there was no box for...

Former first lady Michelle Obama is coming under some criticism today for urging new moms to put their children aside and pursue a career. Obama urged working mothers to pursue their passions outside the home, assuring them that their children would not be “broken” by the decision, while criticizing society for opposing abortion without providing adequate support for new mothers. Never mind that tons of government programs, private charities, as well as thousands of churches and pregnancy centers provide a whole host of resources for pregnant and parenting moms. In a recent podcast episode of “IMO with Michelle Obama &...

A 25-year-old man from Spring, Texas is jailed without bond, charged with aggravated assault after authorities say he secretly gave abortion medication to a pregnant woman against her will, causing the death of their unborn child. Jon Rueben Gabriel Demeter faces a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon causing serious bodily injury — family violence. Authorities indicated possible additional or enhanced charges pending further evidence processing. The child, named Presley Mae by her mother, was stillborn at a hospital in The Woodlands. The woman told authorities she believed the father of her baby had administered a drug to...

American advocates for youth gender medicine have insisted for years that overwhelming evidence favors providing gender dysphoric youth with puberty blockers, hormones and, in the case of biological females, surgery to remove their breasts. It didn’t matter that the number of kids showing up at gender clinics had soared and that they were more likely to have complex mental health conditions than those who had come to clinics in years earlier, complicating diagnosis. ... The reason these advocates were able to make such strong statements is that for years, the most important professional medical and mental health organizations in the...

Vermont has agreed to a policy change that allows Christian foster parents to care for children without being forced to endorse gender ideology. The state’s decision comes after a lawsuit essentially forcing it to back down from revocation of foster-care licenses for families holding traditional religious beliefs on sex and gender. The decision made it difficult for Christian foster parents to adopt children while staying true to Christian and normal biological views that boys and girls are different. The settlement in Wuoti v. Winters and a related case finalized today comes after the Department for Children and Families (DCF) revised...

Atlanta, GA — After months of public drama among the employees and higher-ups of Planned Parenthood Southeast, six former PPSE employees recently filed discrimination charges against the affiliate, submitting the charges to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). One filing submitted by Jessica Swanson, PPSE’s former Director of Education, alleges she was fired by the new interim CEO, Mairo Akposé, in retaliation for voicing concerns about Akposé. Before being suddenly promoted to CEO, Akposé was the Human Resources Director. Swanson alleges that she first complained about Akposé in her HR role when Akposé failed to refer to the current...

A Texas man has died after he and his ex-wife reportedly worked together to plan and carry out his suicide. Joseph Cheffo was found dead in his Odessa home on February 13. Though assisted suicide is illegal in Texas, authorities allege that his ex-wife and primary caretaker, Sarah Regmund, helped facilitate his death after being in contact with Final Exit Network. Investigators say a copy of Final Exit by Derek Humphry was found near his bed. The book, written for the terminally ill, goes beyond arguing for “the right to die.” It provides instructions. In one disturbing line, it states:...

NYC Mayor Mamdani just hired a former Planned Parenthood lawyer to prosecute perceived violators of New York’s civil rights code, which includes abortion. This is a new threat posed to Christian pro-life pregnancy centers already SLAPP’d by New York Attorney General Letitia James. Given the current financial straights facing NYC, it would behoove Mayor Mamdani to not waste taxpayer money in frivolous lawsuits, investigations, and other attacks against Christian pro-life organizations like CompassCare. This kind of evil weaponization of government against the good lifesaving work of Christian pro-lifers is why I wrote my latest book. During his bid for New...

‘It is tragic that Oregon’s current Democratic lawmakers are so committed to their party’s radical abortion agenda that they will not, at the very minimum, take action to ensure that babies who survive abortion attempts are treated with the same standard of care as any other newborn.’ Oregon Right to Life Pro-abortion Oregon lawmakers voted against bringing a bill to the House floor Monday that would ensure that babies born alive during failed abortions are treated with the same standards of care as newborns delivered under usual circumstances. Representative Court Boice made a motion during a February 16th House floor...

Violet Zulu sits in a two-room home in Lusaka with no running water, trying to rebuild her life at twenty-six. She earns about forty dollars a month cleaning houses. She begs for food at times so her two little boys can eat. Her partner abandoned her when she became pregnant a third time. She told reporters, “I never wanted to abort my pregnancy, but it is the circumstances at home that forced me to do it.” That sentence breaks the heart. She did not crave abortion. She feared hunger. She loved her sons and believed that another child would starve...

We have great news to share with you! Last week, the Lynchburg City Council voted 4–2 to pass a new zoning ordinance that places commonsense limits on where abortion facilities can operate . The measure requires any abortion clinic to stay at least 1,000 feet away from schools, churches, and neighborhoods, and requires a special use permit before any facility can open. This ordinance will go a long way in helping Lynchburg become a Safe Zone for Life ! This ordinance does not ban abortion, but it ensures that communities have a voice and that vulnerable neighborhoods, families, and children...

Planned Parenthood has a new term for men. And as the abortion giant has done with women and unborn children, it’s totally de-humanizing. “People who carry sperm.” Sorry men, that’s all you are. You have no value or worth to the Planned Parenthood abortion business other than the biological fact that you carry sperm. Oh and mentally ill women who irrationally think they’re men and somehow contort their bodies surgically to make it possible to construct a fake penis capable of handling semen are also “people who carry sperm.” Never mind that they’re not actually men. In a recent announcement...

A Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) pastor who volunteers as a chaplain inside a Planned Parenthood abortion biz told his congregation that women terminate pregnancies out of love and high regard for the value of new life. Rev. Marvin Ellison, retired professor of Christian ethics at Bangor Theological Seminary and pastor at First Congregational Church in South Portland, Maine shared the remarks during a sermon drawn from his experience as a volunteer chaplain at the facility. “Women terminate pregnancies for the very same reason that under other circumstances, they carry pregnancies to term and give birth,” Ellison said. “Because of love, because...
