The Constitutional Prescription for Debauchery

Judie BrownRecent steps taken in Washington to further devalue the preborn baby have everyone who understands the true nature of birth control wondering what this administration will think of next. In a country filled with selfishness and devoid of the morals necessary to put God and other people first, it is no wonder that leaders such as Cecile Richards-who are concerned only with a dollar sign-are cheering. Read today's commentary for more about this new mandate.

ACLJ & 41 Members of Congress Urge Appeals Court to Back Indiana Law Defunding Planned Parenthood

PR Newswire   

The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), focusing on constitutional law, today urged a federal appeals court - on behalf of 41 members of Congress and more than 25,000 Americans - to reverse a lower court decision and uphold an Indiana law that prohibits federal funds from going to abortion providers like Planned Parenthood. The ACLJ filed an amicus brief backing the Indiana law saying it is consistent with federal statutes and is constitutionally sound.      

Pro-Abortion "Grassroots" Is Really Just Paid Astroturf     

Pro-Life Action
A couple of weeks ago, a poster in the vestibule of a Thai restaurant in Chicago caught my eye. I'd just eaten there with my wife April before heading around the corner for a concert. In large type, the poster was advertising "Campaign Jobs," with the tagline, "Work for the pro-choice movement." I snapped a quick photo of the poster, and shared a chuckle with April over the desperation it revealed. As I've said before, the pro-life movement owns the grassroots. That fact was powerfully in evidence last month during the [Pro-Life Action] League's Face the Truth Tour, as the League's Matt Yonke noted. In all, fewer than a dozen counter-protesters showed up, at only a handful of sites, in contrasts to the hundreds of pro-lifers who volunteered during the Tour.
The Demand for Death: Medical Research & Fetal Tissue

Cross Walk     

Federal and some state laws permit fetal tissue research, and although some regulation of the practice exists, there appear to be gaps in oversight. Few have firsthand knowledge of the secretive networks that procure the tissue, and no central agency or organization tracks them. But an uncomfortable reality is clear: The overwhelming majority of fetal tissue used for research in the United States is obtained from aborted babies.
