Pro-life organizations in Michigan are fighting back against a radical expansion of the state’s anti-discrimination law that redefines “sex” to include “termination of a pregnancy.” According to the lawsuit filed by Alliance Defending Freedom on behalf of Right to Life of Michigan and the Pregnancy Resource Center, the change would literally force these life-affirming ministries to hire...

Lawmakers in West Virginia are advancing Senate Bill 173 to crack down on mail-order abortion pills.   The legislation aims to close a dangerous loophole which allows abortion drugs to be shipped across state lines, undermining pro-life protections.  If passed, physicians who violate the law would lose their medical licenses, while n...

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has announced plans to open new city-funded facilities that will expand access to abortion for young people, including minors. These centers are being framed as “reproductive health hubs,” but in reality, they will facilitate the deliberate killing of innocent babies under the banner of healthcare. At a time when women need real support, including housing, counse...

Louisiana has announced that they intend to file a lawsuit against California Governor Gavin Newsome as well as New York Governor Kathy Hochul for their roles in refusing to extradite doctors accused of mailing deadly abortion pills into the state.   Louisiana has outlawed the distribution of the drug, yet abortion providers continue to violate state la...

You’ve likely heard someone ask, “Abortion doesn’t affect you, so why do you care so much?”   The truth is, something does not have to directly impact your life for you to speak out against it as a great moral evil.  For example, we oppose human trafficking even if we have never been trafficked. We condemn chattel slavery though we were never slaves. We...

As a pro-life advocate, you have no doubt found yourself in debates, faced difficult questions, and seen challenges to your beliefs. If we are going to change the culture and finally end abortion, we must all be prepared to share not only what we believe, but why we believe it.  That’s why we launched  In Defense of Life , our new campaign designed to help you refute today’s most common pro-aborti...

A recent story out of the U.K. shows just how tragic and misguided fear can become when it leads a mother to kill her own unborn child because she’s frightened about “climate change.”   According to LifeNews, a 37-year-old woman, despite being happily married with two children, aborted her child after overwhelming anxiety about the future and “environmental fears” d...

A pro-abortion website, IneedAnA.com, is now openly promoting resources designed to help teenagers obtain secret abortions without their parents ever knowing. One section is chillingly titled, “Let’s start with parental involvement laws, what are they?” It walks minors through how to bypass state laws that require parental consent through judicial bypass systems, and even lists organizat...

Recent reports out of Canada reveal a chilling development: discussions have emerged about extending Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) to include disabled newborn infants.  Canada’s MAiD regime, originally designed for terminally ill adults, has steadily expanded to include people with disabilities and mental illness, and now debates over “baby euthanasia” has resurf...

New UK government statistics reveal a heartbreaking truth: in 2023, 735 unborn babies were aborted simply because they were diagnosed with Down syndrome, an increase from prior years and part of over 3,200 disability-selective abortions.  These aren’t just numbers, they are real children made in God’s image, each deserving protection, dignity, and love. Our society champions disabil...

The United Nations is now considering a radical redefinition of children’s rights that would treat access to abortion and gender transition as so-called “rights” for minors—stripping parents of their God-given authority and exposing children to irreversible harm. Draft General Comment No. 27 being discussed in Geneva would push “free and equal access to reproductive services” for adolescents and e...

Virginia Democrats in the General Assembly passed a proposed constitutional amendment that would enshrine abortion up to birth by creating a so-called “fundamental right to reproductive freedom.” The measure cleared both the House and Senate on party-line votes and now goes to a statewide vote in November. The amendment is as extreme as it is deadly, it would go far beyond even the pre-Dobbs statu...

In a significant win for religious freedom, New York state has abandoned its nearly decade-long effort to force Christian organizations — including nuns, churches, and faith-based ministries — to fund abortions through employee health insurance plans. For years, New York tried to compel ministries that serve everyone to provide and subsidize abortion coverage, even when it violated their deeply he...

New data from Spain shows euthanasia and assisted suicide deaths rose nearly 30 percent in a single year. But even more troubling is where this trend is headed. Spain’s Ministry of Health has openly considered expanding euthanasia to include  mental illness , stating that people suffering psychologically could qualify for death on the same terms as those wit...

Louisiana has taken a stand for life by indicting a California abortionist accused of trafficking abortion pills into the state, violating Louisiana law and contributing to the death of an unborn child. The Dr. Has been charged with criminal abortion by means of abortion-inducing drugs and the Attorney General has sought his extradition to face justice...

A new report shows a troubling trend: 114 Christian colleges and universities in the United States still maintain ties to Planned Parenthood or the abortion industry, up sharply from prior years. More than one in seven Christian schools list abortion vendors as “health resources,” promote internship opportunities with abortion providers, or include pro-abortion materials in their programs all whil...

A new report from the Charlotte Lozier Institute reveals dangerous overseas abortion drugs are flooding into the United States, bypassing our laws and regulations. International online pharmacies and abortion centers are shipping pills into all 50 states — often with no prescription, no medical oversight, and no meaningful limits on how late in pregnancy they can be used.   The...

Zohran Mamdani, New  York City’s new mayor has just appointed a former Planned Parenthood attorney to lead the city’s Human Rights Commission.  Christine Clarke spent part of her career defending Planned Parenthood, the organization responsible for hundreds of thousands of abortions each year and one that has repeatedly fought to stop pro...

A Canadian woman was nearly killed, not by her disease, but by a system that failed to care for her. Unable to access treatment for a rare parathyroid condition, she was approved for death under Canada’s Medical Aid in Dying program. Instead of providing timely medical care, the government offered her assisted suicide. Thankfully, that was not the end of her story. She traveled...

Today’s news out of Texas is a victory for the sanctity of life. Attorney General Ken Paxton announced that the City of San Antonio has shut down its controversial abortion travel fund, which had earmarked taxpayer dollars to help women travel out of state for abortions. Thanks to Paxton’s legal challenge and the passage of  Senate Bill 33 , which makes it illegal for local governments to use publ...

In Tennessee, a newborn’s life was spared from infanticide thanks to a Safe Haven Baby Box — a life-saving resource designed to protect infants and give parents in crisis a safe, legal option.   The baby, thought to be around one month old or younger, was placed in the box at Atoka Fire Station No. 1, triggering an alarm that alerted firefighters. First responders imm...

Today’s story is unique. In Bakersfield, California, 41-year-old Suze Lopez thought she was simply having an ovarian cyst removed but a routine pregnancy test revealed she was expecting. What doctors discovered shocked them: her uterus was empty, yet a baby had been developing outside it in her abdominal cavity, a rare form of ectopic pregnancy that usually ends in tragedy.  A medical team perform...

In Nepal, the country’s gender gap is widening as illegal sex-selective abortions continue to claim the lives of unborn girls.  Abortion was legalized over two decades ago in Nepal, though sex selective abortions remain illegal. Unfortunately, these laws are rarely enforced.   Cultural preference for sons means many families choose to end pregnancies when th...
