Life Hangs in the Balance at the Supreme Court

Ominous signs of the pending Supreme Court decision on the Dobbs’ Mississippi abortion case are everywhere.

Earlier today, a man was arrested in Maryland near the home of Justice Brett Kavanaugh. He was carrying a gun and proclaimed his desire/intent to kill the jurist.

I was in Washington, D.C., a few weeks ago, and increased police presence, along with eight-foot metal fencing around the High Court, make clear that officials are bracing for the potential of a violent reaction to the decision.

How to Talk About Abortion to Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime 

According to a Department of Homeland Security memo leaked to the press on Wednesday, the United States government is bracing for a surge of violence following the anticipated release of the Dobbs’ abortion ruling. They’re predicting a “summer of rage.” While a decision could come down any day, most expect its release toward the end of June.

I can guarantee you any attacks will not come from those who support life. They will come from anarchists and abortion activists committed to preserving a culture of death.

Have You No Shame, Senator Schumer?

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has introduced legislation designed to codify nationwide access to abortion. Wednesday’s vote is expected to fall far short of the needed votes.

A zealot for abortion, Senator Schumer knows he doesn’t have the votes – but said, “This is not an abstract exercise, it’s as real and as urgent as it gets.”

What’s urgent, of course, are the thousands of babies being killed each day by abortion.

Last week’s leak of an early draft of the Dobbs’ abortion decision has ignited violence and unhinged protests across the country.

Heartache Over Silencing Heartbeats in Colorado

As we eagerly await the Supreme Court’s decision in the Mississippi 15-week heartbeat case, activists around the country have been working feverishly with liberal state legislatures to enshrine unfettered access to abortion rights in their states.

I believe it’s a harbinger of the fight to come – and compared to what we’ve seen the last half-century, it’ll be a battle unlike any in the last fifty years.

Activists in my own state of Colorado have just pulled off a devastating legislative victory by passing the most radical abortion bill in the country.

The pro-life community is ready for a post-Roe world

Although it’s likely still several months away, anticipation and optimism are beginning to build ahead of the Supreme Court’s expected ruling on the constitutionality of Mississippi’s 15-week abortion ban. That’s because for the first time in a generation, there appears to be a legitimate chance that a majority of justices will affirm a state’s right to put restrictions on the horrific taking of innocent life. 

Since December’s high stakes hearing in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, some have suggested the pro-life community isn’t ready for a post-Roe world. 

Don’t believe it.

Radical Colorado Pro-Abortion Bill is Pure Evil

National momentum may be moving in the direction of life, but radical abortion activists and legislators here in Colorado are determined to enshrine unfettered access to the killing of innocent life.

As I write this on Friday afternoon, pro-life legislators up at the Denver Capitol are filibustering HB22-1279, a bill that will codify a right to abortion and prohibit any future restrictions to the heinous act. Food and cots have been brought in to help support the effort. 

Just this past week, Focus on the Family’s Nicole Hunt spent over 12 hours up at the state house waiting to testify against the legislation.

The Senate & America Reject Abortion on Demand

The Senate’s rejection of the dubiously titled, “Women’s Health Protection Act” – legislation intended to enshrine abortion on-demand into law regardless of how the Supreme Court rules on Dobbs – was much closer than it should have been, but still a promising denunciation of a radical anti-woman and anti-life point-of-view.

Monday’s procedural vote would have required 60 votes to advance in the Senate. It received just 46 votes – all Democrats. Senator Joe Manchin (WV) was the lone Democrat who opposed the bill.

Big Pharma is Now Challenging Planned Parenthood as Leading Abortion Provider

For over a century, no single organization has been more clearly associated with abortion than Planned Parenthood. Since its founding in 1916, Margaret Sanger’s racist-inspired group has been responsible for tens of millions of deaths. 

Lately, though, another entity has emerged as a leading promoter and source of abortion: 

Big Pharma. 

Due to their easy accessibility, abortion pills are rising rapidly in popularity. Now available by mail, it’s also providing women with a nearly anonymous and stigma-free method to do what previously was only available with a trip to Planned Parenthood or another local abortion clinic. 

Numerous websites have been popping up, promoting access and providing information on “medication abortions,” touting them as “safe” and “easy.” They brag that while some places require a prescription, others do not.  

Mail order abortifacients go by the term “Plan C” and are either a combination of the drugs Mifepristone and Misoprostol or just Misoprostol taken alone.

Why We Still March for Life

I’m in Washington, D.C,. today ahead of tomorrow’s annual March for Life – the world’s largest gathering of individuals committed and dedicated to saving and protecting the most innocent among us.

Back on January 22, 1974 – the one-year anniversary of the horrific and ill-fated Roe v. Wade decision – Washington lawyer Nellie Gray led a morning of lobbying and an afternoon demonstration of over 20,000 people on the Capitol steps. In response, a spokesperson for Planned Parenthood declared:

“The Right to Life people have not accepted the Supreme Court decision and continue to press to resist it, subvert it and to turn it back.”

Planned Parenthood has been wrong about countless things, but they were right then (and now) about our refusal to accept the killing of pre-born children.

How I Found God Through My Abortion Journey

On our Focus on the Family Broadcast “How I Found God Through My Abortion Journey,” we’re talking with Cynthia Wenz, the founder of Healed for Life Ministries, which ministers to those in the post-abortive community in need of healing.

Cynthia has also had to find healing in the aftermath of her own abortions, experienced at points in her life when she was vulnerable, afraid, and believed she had no other options. During her third, she experienced what she considers miraculous events which culminated in her spiritual rebirth and a determination to do whatever she could to survive as a single mom with a new baby.
