President Trump, Vice President Pence, NIFLA and ADF Honor First Anniversary of Supreme Court NIFLA v. Becerra Decision

My daughter graduated from high school last month. Her graduation caused me to ponder about the privileges we Americans enjoy. It is indeed a great privilege to be a young woman in America, and even more so this year as NIFLA celebrated the first anniversary of its Supreme Court victory, NIFLA v. Becerra. This victory earned my daughter and her generation—as well as all Americans—freedom not to be compelled to speak a message with which […]

It comes as no surprise that President Trump touched on the significance of this […]

Thomas Glessner in the Washington Examiner: “The Sound of Heartbeats will Lead to the End of Abortion”

“Ongoing support and friendship, material assistance, referrals for medical and legal help, housing, referrals for adoption, and other such services provide a firm foundation of support for these women during this time of uncertainty and save the taxpayers money.

Anne O’Connor’s Letter to The Washington Post’s Editor: “Women Deserve a ‘Window into the Womb’ Through Mandatory Ultrasound”

“In my three decades serving women in vulnerable situations, I’ve heard countless stories of lives saved through the power of ultrasound. A true and vital ‘window into the womb,’ an ultrasound is a unique chance for a pregnant woman to form a bond with her unborn child. Yet, as Ronald J. Krotoszynski Jr., a law professor at the University of Alabama, made clear in his Dec. 12 Thursday Opinion essay, ‘The court’s free speech hypocrisy,’ not […]

True American heroes are genuinely humble and resist taking credit as they labor for causes deemed by some to be hopeless and even dangerous. Some who pursue their passion for the moral rightness of their cause are subjected to a miscarriage of justice from their enemies and suffer greatly. This is the case of former Congressman Rick Renzi, a Republican from the state of Arizona, who has paid a heavy toll from political enemies. Read […]
