4+ week, 1+ day ago (254+ words) In the fall of 2010, the Heritage Foundation was invited to send a speaker to a charter school class in the District of Columbia to discuss abortion. I was nominated for the task and arrived that morning at the Cesar Chavez Public Charter School for a back-and-forth with a representative from the D.C.-area Planned Parenthood. Fortunately, there is a wide variety of resources available at diverse levels of detail and sophistication, but all with superb documentation. What follows is a summary of several of these resources.

Platkin, a case challenging a broad investigative subpoena infringing on the First Amendment rights of a pro-life pregnancy center. The High Court is expected to decide the case by June 2026. In its High Court petition, First Choice'argues'that AG Platkin's subpoena improperly targets its pro-life viewpoint, chills donor participation, and that this infringement on its First Amendment rights should be heard in a federal forum. Justice Elena Kagan noted that an "ordinary person" would not find it "reassuring" that the subpoena would need to be "stamped by a court" before being enforced. "I'm an ordinary person'and maybe this [subpoena] will be denied, maybe it won't," said Justice Kagan. "I'm fearful of that. I don't want my name being given." Justice Clarence Thomas and Justice Amy Coney Barrett inquired about why the…...

1+ week, 5+ day ago (274+ words) The Planned Parenthood abortion business has released a new report that details the closures that have happened since Congress passed and President Donald Trump signed a law defunding the abortion company. That means good news for the majority of Americans who are pro-life and don't want their tax dollars going to an abortion agency that kills babies. Over 40 Planned Parenthood abortion centers shuttered their doors this year, a direct result of the Trump administration's successful defunding efforts that severed taxpayer support for its business. The closures, detailed in Planned Parenthood's own November 2025 impact report titled "The Harms of "Defunding' Planned Parenthood." "Since the beginning of 2025, nearly 50 health centers have closed due to loss of Title X funds and Medicaid reimbursements," the report states, underscoring the profound financial pressure exerted by the policy. The defunding provision, signed into law by President…...

2+ week, 1+ day ago (407+ words) The great apologist G. K. Chesterton once wrote, "All men matter. You matter. I matter. It's the hardest thing in theology to believe." Rob Renfroe took Chesterton's observation and concluded, "And that God'the God who is big enough to speak all of that [just the part of the universe we know about] into existence and hold it in the palm of his hand'says you matter to him.He says I matter to him." Regardless of what so many anti-life Democrats'all in Congress and almost all in state legislatures'believe, that also applies to unborn babies who survive abortions. The insidious idea that some lives are disposable, based on some sort of sliding scale, whether that is "wantedness" or "quality of life" or anything else equally arbitrary is anathema to pro-lifers. Should we expect anything else from our benighted opposition? No, tragically. When you…...

1+ week, 5+ day ago (468+ words) Two lawmakers are working with the Trump administration to roll back a Biden-era regulation forcing taxpayers to pay for unaccompanied illegal alien children in the U.S. to travel to get abortions. Rep. Mark Harris, R-N.C., and Rep. Mary Miller, R-Ill., are leading a group of lawmakers in introducing a bill to prevent federal funds from being used to assist an illegal alien getting an abortion. "No American should ever have their tax dollars used to shuttle illegal aliens across state lines for abortions," Harris told The Daily Signal. "That's why we're fighting to stop these outrageous Biden-era policies that turned federal programs into a taxpayer-funded Uber for abortions. We're going to end it." The legislation will codify the Trump administration's effort to walk back the Biden rule, which was first reported by The Daily Signal. Trump's Department of Health and Human…...

When the Left is in power, every day, thousands of people come to work in the federal government dedicated to undermining religious liberty, discriminating against Christianity, promoting LGBTQ lies and pushing radical secularism. When conservatives are in power, the actions are pro-life, pro-family and pro religious liberty.

1+ week, 4+ day ago (322+ words) Wisconsin and Texas may seem like a world apart'or at least, a country's width apart, with politics as different as their weather.But two abortion stories out of these not-so-similar states lend credence to a shared truth:The "health of the mother" exception to abortion lawsisnot what it appears. Unfortunately, pro-abortion Governor Tony Evers conveyed that he would vetothe measureif it reached his desk. Pro-abortion mediacan always be foundskulking around the Lone Star State, scouringevery cornerfor stories likeWalker's they can usein their questto reinstate abortion in this pro-life state.

3+ week, 5+ hour ago (603+ words) You can't pretend this came as a surprise. Where else but such stalwarts of the Legacy Media as the Washington Post would you find abortion as a pillar of an article headlined "What's the best place to raise a family? The United States is reaching its'lowest birth rate'in history. If this appeared anywhere else, you might be lulled into thinking it's a pronatalist story. Not so. What is conductive to parents having children, according to Youyou Zhou? In our search for the best place for raising children, we gathered data for every county in the United States across four metrics: affordability, quality of education, neighborhood safety, and state policies on abortion access, parental leave and LGBTQ rights. All these factors are important for the well-being of parents and children. Not discussed, for obvious reasons, are those 1,000,000 + babies who, we can…...
