All of us need to remember that courage is the virtue that we need at this moment, and we have to avoid both of its opposing vices: rashness on the one hand, but cowardice on the other. Pro-lifers now face the question of where do their loyalties ultimately lie. To the short-term political victories, or to the long-term principle that every single life is valuable and has dignity because we are made in the image and likeness of God? Read more......

Fort Liberty is responding to backlash after a slideshow presentation used for training at the U.S. Army base referred to anti-abortion organizations as "terrorist organizations." A photo circulating on social media shows one slide from a presentation used to train soldiers. The slide, titled "Terrorist Groups," lists several groups, including National Right to Life and Operation Rescue, and "opponents of Roe v. Wade," the Supreme Court ruling that established a right to abortion before it was overturned in 2022. Read more......

A coalition of pro-life sidewalk counselors is asking the United States Supreme Court to revisit a previous decision upholding "bubble zones" outside abortion clinics in light of the court's recent reversal of the Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion nationwide. In a brief submitted to the Supreme Court, attorneys for the Thomas More Society sought relief on behalf of Coalition Life, a group of pro-life sidewalk counselors operating in the Midwest. Coalition Life is involved in litigation over a law in Carbondale, Illinois, that implements a so-called bubble zone around the abortion clinic in the city that limits the ability of pro-life sidewalk counselors to inform women...

While Roe v. Wade was in effect, there was majority support for marginal regulations of abortion. But before Dobbs, there was no need to build majority support for gestational limits because they were unenforceable, and the real practical effect could not be felt nor public support precisely determined. If a state cannot show that a majority of voters support a certain gestational limit, they should seriously consider establishing the legal limit at a point where there is strong majority support.

A federal court in Idaho barred seven GOP-led states from intervening in a lawsuit challenging the Federal Drug Administration’s restrictions on access to the abortion-inducing drug mifepristone. The state of Washington filed the lawsuit with 16 other states and the District of Columbia after the FDA removed the requirement for in-person dispensing of mifepristone in 2023. The change allowed retail pharmacies to dispense the drug, rather than just hospitals or medical offices. It also legalized the dispensing of mifepristone by mail order. The blue-state coalition sued the FDA, alleging the government didn’t go far enough to broaden access to the drug. Read more......

Four Florida activists linked to the radical pro-choice group Jane's Revenge have agreed to pay restitution and stay away from crisis pregnancy centers to settle a state-filed civil lawsuit over the attacks on three pro-life facilities. Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody announced the settlement with the four activists, three of whom pleaded guilty last month in federal court to criminal charges related to the vandalism.

In a speech in Indianapolis, Harris bashed former President Donald Trump for nominating three Supreme Court justices who voted to overturn Roe. "When I am president of the United States and when Congress passes a law to restore those freedoms, I will sign it into law," she said. "We who believe in reproductive freedom will fight for a woman's right to choose," said Harris, "because one does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree that the government should not be telling her what to do."

A woman in Florida is suing Google for blocking her from her account after she attempted to set up a Catholic Mass and group prayer event outside of a local abortion clinic. Trudy Perez-Poveda, a member of the pro-life group Family for Life (FFL), said she sent an email to members of her Jacksonville-area pro-life group informing them of an upcoming Mass outside of an abortion clinic. "Approximately one hour" after sending the email, the suit says, Google allegedly suspended Perez-Poveda's account, giving no explanation for doing so. Read more......
