What a Legend! AZ Senator Attaches Abortion Ban to Totally Unrelated Bill about License Plates
Brenna Lewis | March 31, 2021
A healthy handful of U.S. states are on a roll right now with writing and passing pro-life legislation (some of which pose a formidable challenge to Roe v. Wade – fingers crossed). But the award for the most creative and cheeky pro-life effort has to go to Republican Sen. Sine Kerr of Arizona who this week proposed essentially a Heartbeat

Brenna Lewis | March 23, 2021
Right now, the Supreme Court of the United States is deliberating picking up the case Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, an abortion case out of Mississippi. The Justices have been stalling big time. And that’s because this case is a really big deal. According to SCOTUS Blog, this is Dobbs v. Jackson in a nutshell: Issues: (1) Whether all

Brenna Lewis | March 9, 2021
The abortion lobby and their pet politicians in D.C. are trying to bring back the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) or as we call it, the “Everything Related to Abortion” amendment. This bill is NOT about equal rights. The ERA is simply a Trojan Horse for tax-payer funded abortion on demand and abortion supporters are openly admitting it. Students

But using the struggles of these young women to argue for abortions without parental notification is irresponsible and uninformed. The reality is that Parental Notification is a

Jessica Nardi | February 23, 2021
Planned Parenthood is a master of the loophole when it comes to receiving federal funding, and never gives up on searching for new ways to swallow taxpayer dollars to continue their gruesome work. Thankfully, a new bill put forth by Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn) aims to end the sort of fishing for federal funding that America’s abortion giant basically
