Thomas Glessner in Washington Examiner: “Why the Supreme Court Should Deliver a Death Blow to Roe v. Wade”

“This week, the Supreme Court of the United States agreed to hear arguments on the constitutionality of Mississippi’s 2018 Gestational Age Act. This law bans abortion after 15 weeks into a pregnancy. A central question in the case will be ‘viability’: whether a fetus can survive outside the womb at 15 weeks. This case provides an opportunity for the Supreme Court to deliver a much-deserved death blow to Roe v. Wade.” Read the full article here.

Thomas Glessner in Townhall: “Real Feminists Defend the Unborn”

“March is Women’s History Month. The media has featured articles about many impressive women and their contributions to American history.

Thomas Glessner in the New York Post: “Kamala Harris Tried to Force My Pro-life Group to Promote Abortion”

“Two years ago, the Supreme Court issued its landmark ruling in favor of the free-speech rights of pro-life pregnancy centers in NIFLA v. Becerra. Yet many watching Wednesday’s vice presidential debate may not realize that NIFLA v. Becerra was originally NIFLA v. Kamala Harris. Harris is a hard-liner on abortion rights. That’s par for the course for today’s Democratic Party, of course, but she takes things a step further by seeking to silence pro-lifers in […]
