We live in the age of the quick fix — of Sparknotes and Advil and microwaves. Perhaps it’s human nature to desire the quickest possible fix to any given problem, but it certainly seems like our society, more than ever, exalts this idea. All our medicines and beauty treatments promise to be “fast acting” or […]
Last month on the Fox gameshow, “Beat Shazam,” host Jamie Foxx had an emotional moment as he reflected on the impact adoption has had on his life. Contestants Donna and Avery were on the show hoping to win money to put in a college fund for Donna’s daughters who were adopted from Haiti following the […]
On Monday night, the new ABC medical drama series, The Good Doctor, told the story of a woman with a high-risk pregnancy determined to give birth to her baby despite doctors’ recommendations that she abort. The episode ended, against all odds, with a successful, life-affirming outcome. How refreshing, in an age when pro-abortion storylines are so frequently worked into television scripts, […]
Earlier this week the House of Representatives passed an important piece of legislation, the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. It now faces an uphill battle in the Senate, where 60 votes are needed for passage. We believe it’s time for the Senate to act bi-partisanly on this issue, and here’s why: First, the majority of […]
We often talk about the fact that we don’t have the right to decide whether the unborn will live or die. But what if we know already that death is certain to be their fate? Last year a woman named Valerie wrote an article for the New York Times about her difficult abortion experience. Her […]
This Monday, the Trump administration announced that it is officially supporting The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, a House bill that would ban abortions after 20 weeks, the point at which unborn children can feel pain. Kevin McCarthy, House Majority Leader, announced last week that the House would vote on H.R. 36 today, October 3rd. He said […]
Terms like “pro-life” and “pro-choice” are automatically polarizing. The moment you choose to share your beliefs about abortion with another is often the moment they stop listening. The issue has been hashed and rehashed. It’s all too easy to forget that we are talking to real people. Many of the very women we speak with […]
“It is beautiful, but hard.” This was the overture common to all three of the families I talked with last week. Each one had a very different story, but all three had adopted. Wayne and Bethany brought Ivy home from the hospital. Ivy’s birth mom specifically chose them to be the parents of her baby. […]
NARAL recently linked to an article in Mel Magazine titled “8 Men on What It Was Like When Their Partner Had an Abortion.” Although one could respond to many things within this article, I want to address an overarching theme of inconsistency that not only exists in this piece, but that is also found repeatedly […]
Like many of her family members, Missy Robertson of Duck Dynasty has not been afraid to use her platform of fame to talk about her faith and other controversial issues. Her blog and social media accounts are filled with Bible verses and other gospel-centered encouragements. Last week Robertson took center-stage at the Mom’s March for […]
Live Action News — Yesterday, conservative commentator Ben Shapiro spoke at the University of California Berkeley, with protesters and security gathered outside. Inside, an interesting interaction occurred between Shapiro and a pro-abortion student during the event’s Q&A, in which the student asked, “Why, exactly, do you think a first-trimester fetus has moral value?” Shapiro answered: A first-trimester fetus […]
He was 16, but you might not have guessed it. As a toddler, the strapping blonde-haired lad suffered an illness that left him brain-damaged and childlike. Still, he was happy and healthy as the proverbial horse. That’s why it was so strange that, when he went to the hospital for a simple cold, he grew […]
