The Amendment states that born people are a class of citizens, but the word "person" precedes that. So are human beings before birth persons? Pro-life advocates, of course, answer yes. They might respond in the phrasing of famed author Dr. Seuss: "A person's a person, no matter how small." And with good reason. A modern dictionary definition doesn't rule the unborn out.

A new Gallup survey shows that the moral acceptance of abortion has dropped five points since 2024. The new data is encouraging because it suggests the trend towards moral acceptance of abortion following Roe's reversal is finally waning. Since 2001, Gallup has conducted an annual poll, Values and Beliefs. The poll addressed a variety of issues, including abortion, gender, homosexuality, doctor-assisted suicide, pornography, divorce, gambling, polygamy, affairs, cloning and animal testing. According to Gallup's latest survey, conducted in May of this year, only 49 percent of Americans say abortion is morally acceptable — that's a five-point decline from just two years ago.

The strongest evidence that pro-life laws work comes not from industry abortion counts but from birth data. Texas first showed increased births after early pro-life protections took effect before Dobbs. Since then, national studies have reinforced the same conclusion. A major study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), authored by researchers generally sympathetic to abortion, found more than 22,000 "excess births" (births "above expectation") in 2023 in states enforcing pro-life protections. Other studies, such as one from the Economic Inquiry, obtained similar results. They showed a 1.6 percent increase in the overall birth rate in states with full protective laws. Read more...

In using agreeable-sounding words to camouflage killing, the abortion industry conceals the horror of abortion. Among the more curious terms advocates for legal abortion use to justify their position is "reproductive freedom." Abortion is not reproductive—it is lethal. It always involves the ending of a baby's existence before he or she is born. For abortion is a tragedy which stops a beating heart. Read more...

The reason photos of the foetus are powerful is that they show us who is being killed during an abortion. A single photo of a baby in the womb dispels all the murky nonsense pushed by abortion activists and forces us to confront the truth about feticide. Sonogram photos aren't propaganda. They are evidence. Amarens Eggeraats' essay inadvertently makes that point for us: Abortion activists cannot believably assert their unscientific claims unless photos of children in the womb are ignored or dismissed.

Pew Research released the results of a new poll on public attitudes on sanctity of life issues. This poll, which surveyed over 8,500 people in late January, contains some good news for pro-lifers. The results show a gain in pro-life sentiment since the last Pew abortion poll in April 2024. Specifically, the percentage of Americans who think abortion should be illegal in all or most cases increased by two percentage points. Overall, over 76 percent of Americans think there should be some legal limits on abortion. Read more...

We have great days ahead, because our movement is growing in numbers, youth and diversity. We have everything we need to accomplish victory for women and children: Strong and convincing leaders. Faith in God's goodness. Inspiration and lessons from history to guide us. The tools of democracy which give us voice and power. And most of all, the riveting vision of the one child—precious, irreplaceable, so very needed and with rights to protect. Read more...

Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, 12 states have moved to provide constitutional protections for abortion. The result: more than one million abortions were performed in a single year, from July 2023 to June 2024, a number higher than in the years before the landmark decision. Researchers point to several factors driving the increase, including patients' ability to travel across state lines, so-called "shield laws" that allow abortions in states where the procedure is banned, and a rise in chemical abortions.

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...

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...
