It was first enacted in September of 1976 (three years after the handing down of Roe v. Wade). Now, for the first time since 1976, it is under attack. This,

President Biden’s New Budget is Really Wrong
Brenna Lewis | June 4, 2021
Last week, the Biden Administration released their new budget. Unfortunately, the content was without many surprises – including that it failed to add Hyde Amendment protections, forcing Americans to fund abortion with our tax dollars. This is a historical, tragic first … that he would have opposed for most of his career (only changing his Hyde views under intense political

This Summer, A Historic Gathering of Pro-Life Students Will Come Together
Brenna Lewis | June 3, 2021
We have come to the edge of a wave that has brought us nearly two decades of pro-life laws that have saved thousands and begun to hold the abortion industry accountable. Even with the most pro-abortion administration to date working against the pro-life movement, victory is still in sight. And this summer, Students for Life is hosting a HISTORIC,

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.
