It has become almost impossible for most Americans to avoid the anti-abortion arguments, the protest placards and the graphic pictures of foetuses. They might encounter them outside abortion clinics, but they are also in thousands of churches, schools, clinics and homes. Women who want an abortion, especially in Republican-controlled states, face a maze of regulations. And now, finally, the anti-abortion movement is in sight of its greatest victory. Americans have had the right to abortion since 1973 when, in the landmark Roe v Wade decision, the Supreme Court ruled that the right was guaranteed by the US constitution. No state...

The man who attempted to kill Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh identifies as a transgender woman and was deeply mentally ill and suicidal, according to court documents first obtained by The Daily Wire. The Department of Justice is recommending that the defendant, 29-year-old Nicholas Roske, be sentenced to 30 years in prison for attempting to kill the Supreme Court justice in 2022, according to a Friday filing outlining the case against Roske. Roske pled guilty to the attempt to kill a United States Supreme Court Justice in April 2025, three years after authorities arrested him in Kavanaugh’s neighborhood, carrying a...

WASHINGTON, D.C., October 9, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – Pro-lifers are right to celebrate the failure of the smear campaign against Brett Kavanaugh. We wouldn’t have gotten a better nominee if President Trump had withdrawn him, and surrender would have not only demoralized the conservative base but taught leftists they can get away with anything. That being said, we can’t let our euphoria blind us to the fact that we don’t really know if our newest Supreme Court justice is the automatic anti-Roe vote the president promised us, and Susan Collins’ make-or-break speech Friday was actually a damning indictment of how little...

Today marks a watershed moment in the fight for constitutional rights and the protection of government whistleblowers. The ACLJ is proud to announce a complete and total victory for our client, FBI Special Agent Garret O’Boyle, who has been fully vindicated through a comprehensive settlement agreement with the DOJ made possible by President Trump’s Administration and his new leadership at the DOJ and FBI. The DOJ has agreed to fully restore FBI Special Agent Garret O’Boyle with back pay, benefits, damages, and full reinstatement – including his security clearance – after years of persecution under the Biden Administration. As we...

Brian Harris, whose decades as leader and lobbyist for the anti-abortion group Tennessee Right to Life were instrumental in ushering in the state’s 2022 near-total abortion ban, died Saturday at his home in South Carolina after an extended illness. He was 57. Harris served as president of Tennessee Right to Life for 23 years after leaving behind the aspiring musician career that first brought him from Indiana to Tennessee and taking over a dormant Nashville chapter of the organization in 1992. Harris went on to transform Tennessee Right to Life into a powerful statewide political force whose candidate endorsements and...

Assassin was apparently named "Sophie" and made the wrong choice.

Lawmakers are sounding alarms about more violence at Republican Party offices and pro-life organizations across the country if the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade. Attacks on offices tied to the Republican National Committee, GOP lawmakers, and pro-life groups have begun in anticipation of the ruling, including attacks this week where vandals spray-painted slogans and smashed windows. “We should be concerned,” said Rep. Thomas Massie, Kentucky Republican. “Democrats here need to come out and speak against the violence.” The vandalism and violence began after a leaked opinion last month showed the Supreme Court was set to overturn the landmark 1973...

While the purple-haired set was screaming out their impotent rage, the more astute observers of American politics were predicting that this was exactly what the Democrat Party needed to offset the vicious mismanagement of the nation at the hands of Joe Biden. If Americans were torqued about “supply chain” breakdowns, no baby formula (Joe Biden Invokes Defense Production Act to Try to Fix the Baby Formula Shortage His Henchmen Created), gas increasing by $3/gallon in 18 months, and businesses crushed by COVID lockdowns, by gosh, the very thing to take their mind off that string of catastrophes was the right...

The radical pro-abortion group, Jane’s Revenge, is planning more acts of domestic terrorism when the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision on Roe v. Wade is revealed, dubbed a “Night of Rage: An Autonomous Call to Action Against Patriarchal Supremacy.” The group posted its plans on the Anarchists Library website at the end of May in expectation of the ruling, expected sometime in June.

The attempted assassination of Justice Brett Kavanaugh makes it abundantly clear that Chief Justice John Roberts is playing with fire in refusing to issue the Court’s majority opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the case that could potentially overturn Roe v. Wade. The potential for someone to make an attempt on a justice’s life was predictable once the draft majority opinion, in a shocking move, was leaked—but the threat appears more serious in the wake of a deranged person having arrived at Kavanaugh’s home with the stated intention, and with weapons in tow, to kill him. It is...

How newsworthy is it that, shortly after 1 a.m. Wednesday, a man dressed in black, carrying a knapsack containing ammunition, a gun, and the kind of wrist-ties used in the assassination of a Wisconsin judge last week, was arrested outside the home of a United States Supreme Court Justice preparing to decide the future of Roe v. Wade?The answer, it turns out, depends on which newspaper one reads. The conservative dailies are running Californian Nicholas John Roske’s arrest for an attempt on the life of Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh as their top stories this morning. “Incited to kill” is the...

ASHINGTON (AP) — When Gail Curley began her job as Marshal of the U.S. Supreme Court less than a year ago, she would have expected to work mostly behind the scenes: overseeing the court's police force and the operations of the marble-columned building where the justices work. * * * Earlier this month, however, Curley was handed a bombshell of an assignment, overseeing an unprecedented breach of Supreme Court secrecy, the leak of a draft opinion and apparent votes in a major abortion case.

With respect to the left protesting at the homes of Supreme Court justices. Is it legal? I see : It is illegal to peacefully protest in front of a justice’s home. 18 U.S. Code § 1507 - Picketing or parading https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1507 Whoever, with the intent of interfering with, obstructing, or impeding the administration of justice, or with the intent of influencing any judge, juror, witness, or court officer, in the discharge of his duty, pickets or parades in or near a building housing a court of the United States, or in or near a building or residence occupied or used...

Pro-abortion protesters marched to the homes of Supreme Court Justices John Roberts and Brett Kavanaugh Saturday night for a "Candlelight vigil for Roe v. Wade." The protest began at a local café in Chevy Chase before they began their march to the homes of Roberts and Kavanaugh, with a flyer for the event stating that they will protest outside the houses "for reproductive freedom." Protesters can be heard chanting "Keep abortion safe and legal" during the protest. Images of coat hangers could also be seen chalked on the street where the march took place. A left-wing group called ShutDown DC...

Hollywood celebrities descended into a planet-sized panic late Monday after a draft Supreme Court opinion overruling Roe v. Wade leaked to Politico. The would-be decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, No. 19-1392 in the Supreme Court of the United States could “condemn women to die,” according to CBS’ Good Sam star Sophia Bush; it could push America “another big step towards fascism” shrieked director Rob Reiner, or it’s apparently plunged us all “back 50 years” said actress Mia Farrow.

The news is coming hard and fast after a bombshell leak out of the Supreme Court revealed a draft decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. RedState reported on the initial details, noting that it is misleading to treat the draft as the final result.Still, this is completely unprecedented, and it does appear that five justices were prepared at the time of the draft to overturn the landmark abortion precedents of Roe and Casey. What happens next is where things get interesting, though.

Immediately following a Politico report that the U.S. Supreme Court was poised to overturn a decades-old landmark abortion ruling, Roe v. Wade, CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin warned how the draft came to light, which was through a leak, would have a lasting impact on the institution. Toobin told CNN host Anderson Cooper the leak was a “shattering experience,” and he was not sure “how or if the institution” will recover.

Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. said Tuesday that the leaked draft opinion proposing to overturn Roe v. Wade is authentic but not final, and that he is opening an investigation into how it became public. “To the extent this betrayal of the confidences of the Court was intended to undermine the integrity of our operations, it will not succeed,” Roberts said. “The work of the Court will not be affected in any way.” While Roberts’s statement said the draft provided to Politico was genuine, “it does not represent a decision by the Court or the final position of any...

A group of 30 left-wing legislators on Tuesday withdrew a letter sent a day earlier calling on President Biden to negotiate directly with Russian President Vladimir Putin to end his war on Ukraine — after several signatories running for re-election objected to its release nearly four months after it was written.The Congressional Progress Caucus hereby withdraws its recent letter to the White House regarding Ukraine,” the group’s chairwoman Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) wrote in a statement Tuesday. “The letter was drafted several months ago, but unfortunately was released by staff without vetting.” Though she blamed unnamed employees for the letter’s...
