Bishops and other clergy from California's dozen Catholic dioceses and archdioceses — spanning Sacramento to Fresno, Monterey to San Bernardino — have released videos to speak directly to the faithful, sometimes in multiple languages, about their concerns that the Prop 1 initiative would remove all existing restrictions on abortion in the state. "Life is precious from the very moment of conception," Father Michael Mahoney of Our Lady of Angels Parish in Burlingame said in a recent message filmed at the site of a future parish garden, where he encouraged families to take home "No Prop 1" signs for their yards. "This is against everything that we believe in as...

Since the Dobbs decision leaked six months ago, we have been told over and over again that it would be positively un-American to bring criminal charges against doctors who perform abortions. But prosecuting everyday Americans who exercise their free speech rights to protest or engage in sidewalk counseling outside abortion clinics? Well, that’s just good politics, in the eyes of the Biden Administration. And so it is that the full might of the United States Department of Justice has been turned on grassroots pro-life activists in yet another example of the politicization of law enforcement by this administration.

Before launching his "information page," Nevada Gov. Sisolak should have done more due diligence regarding pregnancy centers. Rather than attack pregnancy centers, he should have invited their representatives to contribute to the information being provided to pregnant women considering their options.

An abortion rights vote in Kentucky on Nov. 8 will determine if the conservative state becomes Kansas 2.0. Kentucky voters are being asked to amend the state's constitution to say residents do not have a right to abortions, three months after voters in Kansas soundly rejected a similar ballot question. The upcoming vote is a test of public support for Kentucky's strict abortion laws, which took effect after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade's federal abortion protections in June. Five states have put abortion-related measures on their November midterm election ballots, allowing voters to direct the future of abortion access in their states. Read more......

Both sides in the legal battle over Georgia’s 2019 law banning most abortions after about six weeks into a pregnancy made their cases during a trial in state court this week. While the General Assembly enacted the abortion law three years ago, federal court rulings prevented it from taking effect until this summer after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that legalized abortion. Pro-choice advocates then challenged the law in state court, arguing it is unconstitutional under the Georgia Constitution’s right to privacy. Read more......

A pro-life organization has written a letter to members of Congress demanding the federal government order law enforcement agencies to investigate reports of a secret network smuggling banned abortion pills into U.S. states from Mexico. In the letter dated Oct. 25, Kristen Hawkins, president of Students for Life Action, claimed "A shocking new report details how the Biden Administration's obsession with death by elective abortion has created an abortion drug cartel at the Mexican border," citing a report earlier this month from The Washington Post.
