President Jim Daly on Executive Order Ending War on Women’s Sports

“President Trump’s latest executive order preserving the integrity of women’s sports is a victory for common sense.

“Generations labored for years to provide our daughters with a platform to compete, only to have their work undone by radical and dangerous activists whose efforts endangered the safety of female athletes. No more. This executive action rights a moral and ethical wrong.

“Mothers and fathers can now look forward to watching their girls square off against other girls, not imposters or the sexually confused.

Nothing Stops a Father’s Love

David Jones is living proof that you should never underestimate a father’s love.

For months, David looked forward to walking his daughter down the aisle. But then Hurricane Helene came along, causing catastrophic damage, knocking out power for millions, and shutting down hundreds of roads, including the ones David needed to get to his daughter’s wedding.

Under normal conditions, his drive from South Carolina to Tennessee takes two hours. After the hurricane, he spent seven hours in traffic that ended at a road block almost 20 miles from his destination.

Statement from Jim Daly on Mike Johnson’s Re-Election

“Governing in a representative democracy is always challenging, and especially in a deeply divided nation.  I extend my congratulations to Mike Johnson on his re-election as Speaker of the House of Representatives. As Christians, we’re called to pray for all our leaders (Romans 13:1-2). Strong leadership will provide America with our best opportunity to live “peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness” (1 Tim. 2:2). Please join me in lifting up Speaker Johnson, his family, and all the members of the newly minted 119th Congress.”

Focus President Jim Daly Reacts to Tuesday Night’s Historic Election

“Focus on the Family is encouraged by Tuesday’s election results – a decisive electoral and popular vote triumph for President-elect Donald Trump – but not because of any partisan cheerleading.

“Instead, the outcome confirms American families are hungry to live in a nation where they can raise their children in an environment that is physically safe, economically viable, and where moms and dads and kids can unapologetically worship God. They believe parents – not politicians – have the authority to guide and direct their children’s education.

Vote Your Values

Election Day is in eight days. Are you ready to vote? I hope so.

Voting someone into power who represents your values is a rare freedom in human history. And that freedom comes with significant responsibility: be clear what your values are and understand how they could be impacted on Election Day.

Keep in mind the following values that every American ought to vote to protect:

We want a society that believes every single human life has value and deserves respect and dignity.

Living Out Your Christian Faith in Public Service

On Focus on the Family with Jim Daly, I’m speaking with Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson.

Johnson is the first Speaker of the House in the history of the United States Congress to take over mid-service. Before serving in Congress, Johnson worked as a constitutional lawyer for 20 years, serving with Alliance Defending Freedom as a litigator and spokesperson. He was elected to the Louisiana State House in 2015 and to the U.S. Congress, serving Louisiana’s 4th district, in 2016.

We Must Remain Laser Focused on the Dignity of Life

Focus on the Family president Jim Daly issued the following statement today in response to the ongoing debate concerning pro-life legislative priorities:

“For nearly a half-century, pro-life activists working towards the reversal of Roe have known that returning the issue of abortion to the states would trigger this next season of passionate cultural debate concerning the defense of preborn life. 

“Of late, there is predictable discourse over political strategy within the pro-life movement regarding calls for a national standard on gestational limits for abortion.

How Dare Pornhub Decry Protections for Kids

It’s always a good day when pornographers are upset and unable to distribute or share their dangerous content, especially to children.

Pornhub, the fourteenth most popular website in the world, is not happy – and that should bring some measure of relief to many. That’s because the leading purveyor of pornographic material has decided to suspend access to their site in Texas – a protest move designed to express their objection to new age verification laws in the Lone Star State.

Ohio Veto Override a Victory for Children and Common Sense

Score one in the Buckeye State for the genius of the checks and balances system of government.

The Ohio Senate’s override of Governor Mike DeWine’s incredulous veto of legislation banning the sexual mutilation of children caps a bizarre legislative odyssey that left many social conservatives heavy-hearted – and vowing action to right the chief executive’s wrong.

Wednesday’s vote ensures that the Saving Ohio Adolescents from Experimentation Act (SAFE Act) will now go into effect in 90 days. 

The Act makes it illegal for doctors to prescribe puberty blocking drugs and opposite sex hormones for minors.
