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

Did We Just Agree with an Abortion Activist?
Brenna Lewis | March 12, 2021
Mary Ziegler is a law professor at Florida State University College of Law and serves as the “intellectual thought leader” on abortion law and policy (on the pro-abortion side). In light of Arkansas’s recent near-total abortion ban, Ziegler penned an op ed that ran on CNN this week and contains many themes that will likely be echoed by other abortion

This era of discrimination

The Equal Rights Amendment Died 100 Years Ago… Stop Trying to Reanimate the Corpse
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

Illinois Should Keep Parental Notification Laws In Place
Sarah Michalak | February 23, 2021
 A February 7 editorial by the Chicago Sun Times Editorial Board argues that Parental Notification endangers minor women in abusive homes. It is a true and sad reality that some pregnant minors come from difficult and abusive homes. 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

Blackburn Bill Aims to Help End Taxpayer-Funded Abortion
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

Students for Life Leader Testifies in Favor of New Heartbeat Bill in South Carolina
Brenna Lewis | February 5, 2021
On February 3, 2021, the South Carolina House subcommittee heard testimonies from South Carolina residents for and against South Carolina’s heartbeat bill. The South Carolina Fetal Heartbeat and Protection from Abortion Act bill requires abortionists to perform an ultrasound to detect a fetal heartbeat before an abortion. If a heartbeat is found, the abortionist would no longer be allowed

Texas FINALLY Slaps Planned Parenthood’s Hands Away from Their Wallet
Brenna Lewis | February 2, 2021
After a decade of very hard work, pro-life advocates and lawmakers in Texas have finally succeeded in telling Planned Parenthood they can no longer steal Medicaid funds from the state. The legislature spent 5 long years in court working to prove that Planned Parenthood did not qualify for the funds. This included sharing evidence of their fetal body part
