SCOTUS Begins a New Term. Will Roe v. Wade be Reversed?

This is an exciting time for the pro-life movement.

On the first day of its session, SCOTUS announced that it will hear argument on the constitutionality of a Louisiana law that requires admitting privileges in a local hospital for any doctor performing abortion.

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. However, it appears one thing is required before a woman can be honored. She must also be a supporter of so-called reproductive rights—code for abortion.  Today, celebrities brag about their abortions in the name of feminism. Actress Jameela Jamil claims her abortion was the “best decision” she ever made. Comedian Chelsea Handler says she is grateful […]

Thomas Glessner in Townhall: “Pro-Life Pregnancy Centers Will Be Central To a Post-Roe America”

Others, such as Alabama, may completely ban abortion. Still others, such as California and New York, will likely expand access to abortion and allow it […]
