Unveiling Preborn Life: Overcoming Betrayal and Broken Relationships

Dr. Bill Lile is known as the “Pro Life Doc.” He is an active OB/GYN in private practice and a national speaker who unveils both the horrors of abortion and the magnificence of preborn human life.

He is joining me on Focus on the Family with Jim Daly for an important and sobering conversation about the atrocity of abortion and why Christians should continue to stand strong for life.

Proverbs 31:8 says, “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute.”The battle for life is as intense as ever because pro-abortion activists spin narratives that pro-life supporters protect preborn babies at the expense of women and girls.

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.

Changing Minds to Save the Pre-Born

The pro-life issue is close to my heart. And defending pre-born babies is a huge part of what we do at Focus on the Family. Few people are more vulnerable than pre-born children and women facing unplanned pregnancies.

And few people have a greater passion to protect the vulnerable than Kristan Hawkins. She’s the head of Students for Life, a pro-life organization working primarily on college campuses. She also does nationwide interviews on the topic of abortion.

Abortion Survivors Share the Value of Pre-Born Lives

The issue of abortion has divided America for decades. Over that time, however, very few of us have heard from the children who have survived an abortion attempt.

On our Focus on the Family Broadcast “Abortion Survivors Share the Value of Pre-Born Lives,” we’re talking with two guests who experienced abortion firsthand and lived to tell their stories. Their voices deserve to be heard.

Melissa Ohden is the survivor of a failed saline infusion abortion in 1977.

Jim Daly Statement on Yesterday’s Vote on Ohio’s Issue 1

Yesterday’s disappointing vote in Ohio that codified a right to abortion in the state constitution makes clear it’s essential that the critical work of the pro-life movement must carry on with renewed energy and enthusiasm.

No popular vote and no politician can make right the tragic wrong of abortion. This campaign is unlike any other. It’s a rescue mission. We’re determined to rescue women from the lies of an industry that has managed to convince a slim majority of Americans that death is somehow better than life.

It’s Never a Mistake To Defend Innocent Life

While running for president in 2016, billionaire real estate developer and reality television star Donald Trump made a bold promise concerning the Supreme Court that many of us considered almost too good to be true.

“The Justices that I am going to appoint will be pro-life,” he told moderator Chris Wallace during a heated debate with the Democratic Party nominee, former first lady Hillary Clinton. He correctly added that reversing Roe v. Wade would send the issue of abortion “back to the individual states.”

President Trump kept his promise, appointing three of the five justices who ultimately voted to overturn Roe in June of 2022.

“Abortion Cake” Heart Wrenching Evidence of a Blind and Broken Culture

The social media site TikTok boasts over 1 billion monthly active users, placing it in the top five of all such outlets being frequented today.

The platform is known for all kinds of crazy, but a recent post has left even some of its most hardened users shaking their heads in disgust – and others cheering.

Such is the nature of social media, which for good or bad, the medium provides a real-time snapshot of what people believe – and what they’re thinking – or not.

WATCH: New Pro-Life Campaign Ad … It’s a Baby!

I’m delighted to announce that Focus on the Family is officially launching a nationwide “It’s a Baby” ad campaign – today!

Airing digitally and on television, the spot coincides with the upcoming one-year anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.

At Focus, we’re always looking for compelling and even unexpected ways to get the country talking about life. We know that millions will be talking about the issues over the next couple of weeks, and we want to give all people — with varying perspectives — a fresh way to consider those issues.

Tragically, the culture has gotten too comfortable using antiseptic scientific terms to dehumanize a child in the womb.

Finding Grace After an Abortion

The Christian community talks routinely about choosing life. One expression of that is reaching out to women in desperate situations before they make the life-altering decision to terminate a pregnancy.

But what about after they’ve chosen abortion?

On our Focus on the Family Broadcast “Finding Grace After an Abortion,” we’re talking to Serena Dyksen – speaker, author, and founder of She Found His Grace, a ministry that helps women who have experienced abortion or sexual trauma – about how to help women who have suffered the trauma of abortion find grace and recovery.

Mere Community Service for Shooting Pro-Life Activist is a Miscarriage of Justice

In the weeks following the reversal of Roe last June, pro-life activists and organizations endured more than 135 separate attacks and assaults – including one pro-life champion who was shot by a man in Michigan.

83-year-old Joan Jacobson was canvassing an Odessa Township neighborhood last September, encouraging Sharon and Richard Harvey to vote against a pro-abortion amendment that would eventually pass in November.

According to press reports, an argument ensued between Joan and Sharon, escalating to the point that Richard Harvey wound up shooting the elderly pro-life volunteer in the shoulder.

Richard Harvey claims the shot was accidental and that he inadvertently pulled the trigger while trying to protect his wife … from Joan’s clipboard.

Well, that case came to a head this week.
