CNN's Contempt Serves Up A Lemon
January 28, 2020
"A house divided against itself cannot stand." Those were the words Abraham Lincoln used in 1858 when opening a speech about slavery in the states -- the most divisive issue of that time. Those words were not Lincoln's own, of course. They were borrowed from Jesus, whom all three synoptic gospels record saying the phrase. It's a truth that's older than the nations, and it's no less true in 2020 than it was in 1858 or two thousand years ago. Division was there then, and division is here now, and nothing drives division more than contempt. (continue reading...)
Abortion Mandates Come with Real Life Consequences

Last Friday, on the morning of the March for Life, HHS Secretary Alex Azar announced live from FRC's ProLifeCon that the Trump administration would be cracking down on California for forcing all insurance plans in the state, including churches, to cover abortion. The Weldon Amendment is a federal law ensuring that states do not discriminate against health care providers for refusing to cover abortion. (continue reading...)
Will Children Be Protected in South Dakota?
January 28, 2020
South Dakota, the home of Mount Rushmore, is considering a bill that would tell doctors to rush less toward making irreversible changes to the bodies of children with gender dysphoria. House Bill 1057, the Vulnerable Child Protection Act, would prohibit medical personnel from giving puberty-blocking drugs, cross-sex hormones, or gender reassignment surgery to minors under a certain age (16 in the latest version of the bill).

Life in the Administration
January 27, 2020
Last Friday, President Trump made history by becoming the first sitting U.S. president to speak in-person at the March for Life, the nation's largest gathering of pro-life supporters and advocates. Speaking before hundreds of thousands assembled on the National Mall, President Trump declared, "All of us here today understand an eternal truth: Every child is a precious and sacred gift from God. Together, we must protect, cherish, and defend the dignity and sanctity of every human life." (continue reading...)
Making Sure "Never Again" Means Something
January 27, 2020
Seventy-five years ago today, the largest Nazi concentration camp and extermination camp was liberated by allied forces, but not before an estimated 1.1 million people were murdered between 1940 and 1945. January 27th has since been recognized as International Holocaust Remembrance Day, so that the world might never forget the 6 million European Jews killed in Holocaust. (continue reading...)

Life on the March
January 24, 2020
Since that horrible Monday in 1973 -- the day our Supreme Court signed the death warrant for millions of unborn children -- America has had four pro-life presidents. Not one of them appeared at a March for Life rally -- until today. When Donald Trump walked across the stage at the National Mall, in front of a sea of pro-lifers, he wasn't just making a statement. He was cementing a legacy. (continue reading...)
Impeachment: Here Today, Yawn Tomorrow
January 24, 2020
If the impeachment drudgery is putting the senators to sleep, it's no wonder Americans are tuning it out. According to the latest Nielsen ratings, millions of viewers are changing the channel -- and based on the president's growing approval rating, they wish House Democrats would too. (continue reading...)
Force Abortion, Lose Federal Funds
January 24, 2020
President Trump wasn't the only one making history at this year's March for Life. HHS Secretary Alex Azar put an even bigger exclamation point on the day when he broke news at FRC headquarters about new action the agency was taking. After four years of watching California attack its own people, HHS is finally saying, "Enough." If the state can't be bothered to follow the law, Secretary Azar has decided to make them pay for it -- in federal funds, if necessary. (continue reading...)
A Fork in the Roe?
January 23, 2020
Kathi Aultman is the abortion industry's worst nightmare. "I've killed more people than Ted Bundy," she admits. Coming to grips with the fact that she was "a professional mass murderer," as she called it, wasn't easy, but it has given this former abortion doctor a compelling reason to speak truth. And that truth, she insists, is that the abortion industry is a dark and nightmarish place that never, ever puts women first. She's been behind the curtain of "choice" -- and what she saw has changed her, and whoever will listen, forever. (continue reading...)
