For Now, Life Wins in Texas!

While most of us slept, Texas Senate Bill 8 went into law early Wednesday morning – legislation that protects innocent life from the point of a detectable heartbeat, or about 6 weeks gestation.

Abortion advocates had appealed to the Supreme Court to block the new law. As of this writing, though, the High Court has not acted on the motion. 

I was in Texas this past Saturday night, hosting Focus on the Family’s See Life 2021 event in Dallas.

How You Can Join the Pro-Life Movement

Focus on the Family has been unashamedly pro-life since our inception 44 years ago. The affirmation of human life is one of our foundational principles, and I pray that however long the Lord allows our organization to exist, it will remain so.

You and I have an important part to play individually as well. Voting for pro-life candidates and supporting ballot initiatives is a good start. Yet, we often wish women with unplanned pregnancies, “Good luck,” from a safe distance.

An Abortion Survivor’s Story of Forgiveness

Claire Culwell

Tonya was 13 when she became pregnant and aborted her baby.

She endeavored to move on with her life as if nothing had happened. Yet, in the weeks that followed, something still seemed to be happening inside of her. She soon discovered that she had been pregnant with twins, and one of the babies had survived the procedure. A few weeks later, Tonya gave birth to the child and put her up for adoption.

Twenty-one years later that child – now a grown adult named Claire – called the adoption agency from where she had been adopted.

Saved Life of Future NFL Linebacker Reminds us all of Human Potential & Abortion’s Cost

Micah Parsons

How much human potential has been aborted? 

The toll is inconceivable. 

Since the United States Supreme Court legalized abortion in all fifty states back in 1973, over 62 million children have been lost – children who would have grown up to be scientists making discoveries, scholars and innovators solving problems – and athletes accomplishing incredible feats on the gridiron. 

Like Micah Parsons. 

At twenty-one years of age, the Penn State sophomore linebacker is expected to be drafted in the NFL draft’s first round on Thursday night.

No, Secretary of State Antony Blinken – Abortion is Not a Human Right

Antony Blinken

I sometimes wonder if government officials who champion abortion are blinded to the truth – or just knowingly embrace an indefensible position for the sake of ideological partisanship. 

Secretary of State Antony Blinken comes to mind. He recently declared, “Standing up for human rights everywhere is in America’s interests.” 

I would agree – it’s never right to embrace a wrong and defending the dignity of each person is a noble ideal. The United States may not be the world’s police force, but America has historically stood up for those in need, something we can all be proud of. 

Yet during the same speech, Mr.

President Biden Champions Abortion – But the March for Life Goes On

Pro-LIfe generation

On the eve of the March for Life, in what can only be considered as a poke in the eye to those of us seeking to protect preborn life, President Joe Biden rescinded the “Mexico City Policy” on Thursday – a safeguard that has prohibited the use of taxpayer money to fund abortions overseas. 

What happened to your call for unity, Mr. President?   

In a recent poll, over 77% of Americans oppose this action. Yet as he signed the executive order in the Oval Office, President Biden suggested the policy would ensure healthcare for women. 

Abortion is not healthcare, but what about the health and care of those little babies, President Biden? 

Fittingly, an icy, winter wind is blowing across Washington, D.C., today, less than 24 hours before the start of this year’s March – the annual commemoration of the Supreme Court’s tragic 1973 ruling that legalized abortion in all 50 states. 

I’m in our nation’s capital, absorbing the sights of National Guard troops and barbed wire – but still grateful for those who will be standing in solidarity for the innocent children who have no voice. 

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is forcing this year’s March to look very different than previous editions, when hundreds of thousands of people usually descend on this city.

Focus on the Family has been unashamedly pro-life since our inception 44 years ago. The affirmation of human life is one of our foundational principles, and I pray that however long the Lord allows our organization to exist, it will remain so.

Each of us as individuals has an important part to play as well. It’s not enough to vote for pro-life candidates and ballot initiatives and then wish women with unplanned pregnancies, “Good luck.” We have to be ready physically, spiritually, and emotionally to walk alongside women in need.

Shouting the Worth of Every Person

Little girl with Down Syndrome

As the saying goes, “Birds of a feather flock together.” It means that we naturally feel most comfortable around people who look like us and think like us.

That tendency can cause us to miss out on relationships with people who hold different perspectives than us and on the opportunity to learn from them.

God is more diverse than we often imagine Him to be. He created human beings in His image, so every person is God’s image-bearer.

VIDEO: When You Vote Life, You’re Voting for a Child’s Right to Dream

Vote Life

Dr. Tyler Sexton is a highly talented pediatrician with an unrelenting passion for helping children through their challenges.

Thankfully, there are a lot of physicians who fit that description – and your children may very well call one of them their personal doctor. But I suspect few have met anyone quite like my friend Tyler.

Born prematurely and not expected to survive, Tyler Sexton was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at 18 months of age. Throughout the course of his young life, he endured 16 surgeries and countless setbacks.

See Life 2020 Premiere Viewed by Hundreds of Thousands on Opening Weekend

See Life 2020

Focus on the Family’s highly anticipated sequel to “Alive from New York” – last year’s live ultrasound of Abby Johnson’s pre-born baby in New York City’s Times Square – debuted to high acclaim this past Saturday night across multiple social media platforms. 

Airing only hours after President Trump nominated Seventh U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals judge, Amy Coney Barrett, the moving one-hour documentary titled See Life 2020 featuring pro-life champions and award-winning musical artists galvanized and inspired those who watched. 

“WOW!
