LAUREN POPE, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR: Although imperfectly articulated, several newly elected Democrats have expressed willingness to work with the pro-life movement. They understand our desire to protect the unborn and are willing to help build a culture that is more protecting of life. Now, hear me, these same Democrats will very likely push for the loosening of abortion restrictions where they currently exist. I am not pretending that they are legislatively neutral, but on the

by Timothy Kirchoff — Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic nominee for Senate for Michigan, was asked by a young pro-lifer why he, and by extension other pro-lifers, ought to vote for him. Similarly, James Talarico, the Democratic nominee for Senate in Texas, was presented with a pro-life Catholic voter and the opportunity to try to win her over in a town hall co-hosted by CNN and Jubilee. Both candidates made a sincere effort to be gracious and respectful in their responses,

by Herb Geraghty — The abortion pill now accounts for the majority of abortions in the United States. Studies show that it can cause serious complications including hemorrhaging, incomplete abortion, sepsis, and death. To protect women, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has rules and protocols in place to help prevent those complications. However, the companies responsible for implementing those safeguards cannot say, with any confidence, that the people prescribing the

by Lauren Pope — For the second time this year, the state of Tennessee has tried and failed to execute one of its citizens. In May, its execution team members failed to establish a central line in Tony Carruthers after over two hours and over a dozen sticks. Yesterday, they injected both vials of pentobarbital into Christa Pike, but after over an hour she remained alive. In their petition to the US Supreme Court, Pike’s lawyers had raised concerns that the condition of her ve

Like many of you, I am pro-life and care deeply about unborn children and their mothers. In February of this year, I spearheaded an open letter to the Trump Administration signed by over 35 pro-life organizations, including Live Action and several state Right to Life groups.

by John Whitehead — Mohandas K. Gandhi made a striking statement in his essay “The Doctrine of the Sword” (1920): “I do believe that, where there is only a choice between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence.” Referring to India’s struggle for independence from Britain, he wrote, “I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honour than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonour.” While stating t

Dolly Parton would want you to keep reading.” And thankfully an article from The Hill confirmed we, along with one in six American children under the age of five, will still get the books. A spokesperson from the Dollywood Company confirmed that the Imagination Library will continue, despite Dolly Parton’s passing

by Christy Yao Pelliccioni — The Economist recently ran an article titled “In Praise of Designer-ish Babies.” The article describes how certain businesses are now offering couples using in vitro fertilization (IVF) the opportunity to “screen” the embryos they create. Embryos can supposedly be screened for genetic risks for illnesses and even for particular heights or IQ levels. The article endorses such screening of embryos. Its main argument is that parents just want to giv
