By Rev. W. Ross Blackburn:
Last week I attended the most pro-life funeral I have ever witnessed. ... Wheelchair bound, unable to speak or even to swallow, Anna’s life was radically constrained: She could do nothing but look to others to provide for her, receiving their love and loving them in return. That’s it. Yet that is exactly what God seeks from us—to be content in the good gifts He has given us, receiving his love and loving Him in return.
Female Voters Want a Party to Win Their Vote
By Matt Lamb:
A new poll from the Kaiser Family Foundation shows there is an opportunity for pro-life candidates to win over female voters. ... Republicans have been a bit murkier on their plans, with some favoring a national abortion ban, some wanting the issue left up to the states, and some probably not wanting to talk about the issue at all. ... What exactly will win over those one in three female voters?
Personhood Refutes Legalized Abortion
From the Winter issue of the Human Life Review
By Lyle R. Strathman:
The first section of this essay underscores some of the readily available knowledge that seems to have been purposely omitted from the pro-abortion rhetoric in Roe v. Wade. ... In what follows, the notion of personhood will be righted and rendered unambiguous. Although personhood is invisible and seemingly abstruse, the concept of personhood will be made intelligibly understood by all mankind: theists, materialists, and, I hope, also by those espousing a laissez-faire philosophy.
The Fallacy of "Pro-Choice" New York
By Bernadette Patel:
She was poor but not poor enough. Which means she didn’t qualify for food stamps, WIC, or Section 8 housing. She was married and had a job, usually a plus, but their two incomes—low even when combined—put them out of reach for government assistance of any kind. She worked a 12-hour shift, six days a week, however her employer did not pay overtime, nor did he give her sufficient lunch breaks, or really any breaks at all. ... Where can a woman go [in New York City] if she is homeless or about to lose housing while pregnant?
Supreme Court Hears Idaho Abortion Case
By Steven Kokx:
The U.S. Supreme Court [has just heard] arguments involving a pro-life law in Idaho that makes it a crime for medical professionals to perform abortions. The decision will likely play a role in the upcoming presidential and congressional races in November. ... The Supreme Court’s decision is due in June. If the justices side with Idaho, the Biden administration will be handed a significant defeat ahead of election season.
True and False Abortion History: It's Not True that Abortion Was Unregulated in America before 1821
By John Grondelski:
Much wailing and gnashing of teeth followed the Arizona Supreme Court’s recent upholding of the state’s 1864 abortion act. The wailers’ false narrative asks: How can we be governed by a 160-year-old law? If you listen to abortionists, they will try to spin a fake history of abortion law, originally sold by Cyril Means and quoted extensively by Harry Blackmun in Roe v. Wade. Problem is, it’s not based in facts.
By Rev. George G. Brooks:
We live in a “vale of tears,” a place of violence, suffering, and death. ... And that is the world Jesus came to. Our living Lord joins us, present but unrecognized by us. Along the way of sorrow, companionship is the best consolation. Indeed, friendship is the single indispensable good of life: With it, any sorrow is tolerable; without it, any other good—health or wealth, honor or success—is worthless.
Family Business: The Key to Achieving Global Prosperity
By Vincenzina Santoro:
The importance of family businesses cannot be underestimated. As data indicate, they play a key role in local, regional, national, and global economies. What better and more effective partnership ... is there than starting a family business and watching it grow and create prosperity. The UN should take note—by recognizing the important economic contributions of these companies, and by encouraging family-business-friendly policies.
By Brian Caulfield:
We are amazed that there could be such well-considered hope soon after the Black Death swept away a third of Europe’s population. But the 14th century was the age not only of Chaucer, but of Dante, Bocaccio, and Giotto—perhaps all lighter in spirit because they were constantly reminded that life is short and uncertain, a mindset that helped them put their own spark of soul in perspective. ... There is every reason to think that the evident malaise of our age is due largely to a lack of religious faith, especially among young people.
