Summer had just finished high school with the intention of entering college. At the time, she was balancing attention to a job, rodeo competitions---and a recent boyfriend, Jason. Shortly after high school graduation, the truth of her pregnancy, however, threatened to shatter those dreams.

Gloria Steinem, renowned feminist and political speaker over the past four decades, is blaming climate change on a lack of global abortion statistics.

"Evangelicals in America are not pro-life, they're just anti-abortion... just look at our birth-rates."

“We will hold Planned Parenthood accountable for knowingly endangering their patients by providing illegal abortions at a facility that was not properly licensed nor prepared to handle an emergency.”

I know some who would label such resolve a "serious compromise" and a sore lack of faith. I see it as a desperate willingness to act when any other measure is rendered impossible by godless men. An action against further death is an action for life and Scripture simply commands believers to choose "life (Deuteronomy 30:19)."

Bill Nye "The Science Guy" has come under fire after proposing an unusual solution to climate change: penalize American families for having "extra kids".

Evangelist Franklin Graham has called Planned Parenthood a "Hitleristic organization" whose conduct is "insidious, evil, unjust, and even criminal" and called on lawmakers to "end this wholesale slaughter of innocent life."

Throwing pizza parties is one way Planned Parenthood motivates its staff to encourage women into having an abortion in order for the clinic to meet its “sales goal.”

Lennart Nilsson, the Swedish photographer whose detailed photos of unborn babies helped spur the anti-abortion movement the 1970s and early 1980s, has passed away at 94.

"Life is winning in America," says Vice President Mike Pence. Indeed, with abortion rates at an all-time low since 1974, it is a day worthy of a special commemoration and, well, a march. Pence did just that today in participating at and speaking on behalf of the unborn at the 2017 March for Life in Washington. Beaming with unswerving conviction, Vice-President Pence added: "Be assured: Along with you we will not grow weary, we will not rest, until we restore a culture of life in America for ourselves and our posterity." These actions designated him the first, highest official ranking to address the Washington March.

The power of executive order is, I have noted, often regarded with a suspicious eye---almost as though, it somehow originated from some great transgression or horrendous governmental conspiracy. Despite the sense of notoriety, however, some will be surprised to learn that the executive order is actually backed both by the Constitution as well as by history. Beginning, in fact, with our country's first president, founding father, and general.

Franklin Graham has said he is thankful the United States finally has a Vice President who is "not ashamed of his Christian faith and who takes a bold stand for life" after it was announced that Mike Pence will headline the 44th "March for Life" rally.

The U.S. House of Representatives voted Tuesday to ban the use of federal funds for abortion, making permanent the Hyde Amendment and removing abortion funds from Obamacare.

Pres. Donald Trump signed the executive order reinstating a policy that bans federal funds for international organizations that offer or promote abortion, angering various groups from the pro-choice camp.

Abortion is a popular topic these days, especially with Pres. Donald Trump’s recent reinstatement of the “Mexico City Policy,” which bans federal funds for international organizations offering and promoting abortion, and this month marking the 44th anniversary of Roe v. Wade that made abortion legal in the U.S. What some people don’t know is that ‘Jane Roe’ of Roe v. Wade did not abort her baby. She later admitted she lied about the pregnancy being a result of rape. She also accepted Jesus as her Savior and became a pro-life advocate.

The truth is as I'm sure some of you have surmised by now, this isn't your great-great-great grandmother's suffrage. While it is tempting and even seemingly noble to empower women---and, don't get me wrong, there is an appropriate time and place for it---the very women cited for their movement of suffrage would cringe at the subjects deemed "rights" now.

I sat among a rough estimate of 700 people in the World's Fair Park Amphitheater; praise to Jesus, there were definitely increased numbers since the last few years before. In fact, while I couldn't quite put a finger on it, there seemed to be a different spirit in the air altogether. A kind of sense of hope and motivation, as though we had all passed through an invisible storm and passed into the eye, with a sudden recognition of safety and a grasp of something tangible. There was nothing particularly different about the program departing from the usual schedule, and yet the mass seemed unusually strengthened, a marked excitement in the air evidenced by the loud, collective responses and filed seats.

Pres. Donald Trump will sign the executive order defunding the International Planned Parenthood on Sunday, which coincides with the 44th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the landmark Supreme Court ruling that made abortion legal in the U.S.

As Trump's chosen ambassador, Haley's desire to limit abortion-accessibility on an international level is inflaming concern among those who perceive abortive services to be an entitlement. Haley, however, contends for alternative options: "I am strongly pro-life, so anything we can do to keep from having abortions, or to keep them from not knowing what is available, I will support."

A bill that bans abortion once a fetal heartbeat is detected was introduced by Congressman Steve King, who said that "America was founded on the concept that our rights come from God. All human persons have a right to life."

When he asked a man in his dream who the children were, the man told him, “They are the ones you killed with your abortions.”

The U.S. House of Representatives’ Select Investigative Panel released its final report detailing disturbing activities of Planned Parenthood, including the selling of babies’ body parts. The Panel has recommended that the organization be defunded and its funds redirected to more qualified health centers. It also gave 15 criminal referrals for violations of federal laws.

A Texas federal judge issued a temporary injunction on Saturday blocking the Obama administration’s mandate not to discriminate against abortion and gender identity in healthcare services just one day before the regulations were to take effect.

Texas has officially defunded Planned Parenthood on Tuesday, canceling its millions of dollars in funding from the Medicaid program.

A young Catholic immigrant who was fired from her job in healthcare for being unwilling to promote contraception may finally receive justice, thanks to the efforts of First Liberty Institute.
