Thomas Glessner in Townhall: “Pregnancy Centers Are the Answer to America’s Abortion Problem”

“The left’s proclamations that women will be victimized if Roe is overturned ignore the magnanimous work of nearly 3,000 pro-life pregnancy centers and medical clinics. The charitable work of these centers provides – free of charge – medical and non-medical services, hope and life-affirming options to mothers who feel alone and powerless. Pregnancy centers also provide expectant mothers with an abundance of essential resources ranging from diapers, vitamins, clothing and parenting classes to postpartum care. The long-term […]

Thomas Glessner in Townhall: “Biden Administration Fails to Honor Pro-life Women”

“March has been designated by the White House and others as Women’s History Month. Because of its endorsement of a radical pro-abortion agenda, the Biden administration fails to honor the work of pro-life female leaders. Instead, Biden issued a proclamation that clearly promotes abortion. In it, he asserts that his administration is working on expanding access to health care, ‘including reproductive health care,’ which is code for abortion-on-demand.” Read the full article in Townhall.

The case, to be decided this year, may spell the end of Roe v. Wade and its policy of abortion-on-demand. Recent responses from abortion proponents show how blind they are to the compelling realities of abortion alternatives. Barrett, an adoptive mother herself, asked if a woman who lacks access to abortion is […]

Thomas Glessner in Townhall: “Dr. Oz Must Take a Clear Stand on Pro-life Issues to Win Voters”

“Enter Dr. Mehmet Oz, Professor of Surgery, Columbia University, the leading Republican candidate for the very crucial Senate seat in Pennsylvania. As a well-known celebrity, Dr. Oz brings serious credentials to the job. However, on the crucial issue of abortion, he is a typical politician speaking out of both sides of his mouth. If Oz continues his egregious double-speak, he may seduce pro-life voters into thinking they have a friend. In fact, such advocacy remains […]
