A recently published open letter, backed by a wide group of Christian conservatives, called on pastors to preach unapologetically about abortion from the pulpit, contending that silence on this issue has fatal ramifications for both preborn children and mothers. The letter, released by Human Coalition, points to abortion as a defining moral crisis and a Gospel issue, instead of simply a political topic. The letter quoted biblical teaching and moral duty as the foundation for proactive preaching regarding the dignity of human life "without fear or compromise." Read more......

Colorado has agreed to pay $6.1 million in attorney fees for its unconstitutional attack on abortion pill reversal that was struck down by a federal court. The state will pay $5.4 million in attorneys fees to Becket, and another $700,000 to Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF). The ruling represents a significant victory in the fight for life in a notoriously pro-abortion state. ADF Senior Counsel Kevin Theriot said in a statement, "Government officials can't silence medical professionals and prevent them from saving lives." Read more......

After President Donald Trump told House Republicans to be "flexible" on the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits public funding of elective abortions, in negotiations on health care subsidies, a key national pro-life group argued the policy should be "a minimum standard in the Republican Party." During a speech to the House GOP conference at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the president suggested to members of his party that addressing rising health care costs could give them an edge over Democrats in the upcoming midterm elections, telling them, "Now you have to be a little flexible on Hyde."

Marking a dark day for protections for the unborn, in a landmark 4-1 decision, the Wyoming Supreme Court struck down two sweeping abortion restrictions, including the nation’s first explicit abortion pill ban, ruling that they violate the state constitution. According to The Hill, the court sided with Wellspring Health Access, Chelsea’s Fund, and four women who argued that Wyoming’s 2023 bans infringed on Article 1, Section 38 of the Wyoming state constitution, which affirms an adult’s “right to make his or her own health care decisions.” The laws under review included the Life is a Human Right Act, which enacted a near-total ban on abortion and specifically outlawed abortion pills, the...

Above all else, pro-lifers should be uncompromising in continually upping the pressure on the Trump administration around the abortion pill. The Biden administration’s decision during the pandemic to allow women to receive a prescription without meeting with a doctor in-person dramatically expanded access to abortion pills. Not only has that led to an uptick in abortions post-Dobbs, it has also produced horrifying cases of men mail-ordering abortion drugs and covertly administering them to wives or girlfriends. At a bare minimum, a nominally pro-life White House should restore the in-person requirement. Read more......

Support for abortion among Christian colleges in the United States has skyrocketed since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, according to a new report by Students for Life of America's Demetree Institute for Pro-Life Advancement (IPA). IPA identified 725 Christian schools, defined as "an institution of higher education affiliated with a Christ-centered denomination and publicly claiming historical Christian faith in its founding," and combed through the colleges' websites for references to abortion found that one in seven is connected to the abortion industry.

U.S. President Donald Trump denied knowledge of reports that his administration has restored millions of taxpayer dollars to Planned Parenthood. According to a report in Politico, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) last month restored Title X funding to Planned Parenthood. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) dropped a lawsuit against the administration related to this funding. Planned Parenthood and some other clinics will be able to submit reimbursement receipts to the government for low-income patients who received birth control and other non-abortion services, according to the Politico report.

While the percentage of abortions using medication had been growing every year since 2000, when the FDA first approved mifepristone for pregnancy termination, the Biden administration's decision to drop the in-person dispensing requirement supercharged its use. More than 60% of all abortions were done using medication rather than a procedure in 2023, the most recent year for which statistics are available. More than a quarter of all abortions that year were managed via telehealth. Read more......

Our culture tries to dehumanize these babies with rewordings and euphemisms. They call murder “terminating a pregnancy,” and they label unborn babies as “fetuses,” “embryos,” “globs of cells,” “uterine contents,” or “products of conception.” But the reality is that they are innocent children, made in the image of God, and they have every right to live. If you don’t agree with that then, frankly, you disagree with the Bible. Read more......

Churches are called not merely to fund pregnancy support centers, say Holloway and other pregnancy center leaders. Church involvement is vital to what centers were founded to accomplish. America has approximately 3,000 pregnancy support centers in all 50 states. The centers are local, nonprofit organizations that provide support and information to women and men facing decisions about unplanned pregnancies. Many also share the message of Jesus. The number of new clients served by those centers eclipsed 1 million for the first time in 2024, according to the Lozier Institute, a pro-life research organization. Read more......
