Anybody who understands the social pulse of Australia knows that the State of Victoria is the most socially progressive of Australia’s states and territories. Although many Victorians see that as positive, when it means the introduction of laws that directly oppose God’s principles governing life, believers see it as wicked. In a 15 October 2026 X post, Mr Carroll succinctly stated: “Abortion is healthcare. Your bank account and your postcode shouldn’t be a barrier. We’ll fix that.” To avoid appearing one-sided in my criticism of Labor policies, I will point out that the opposition party (who have traditionally been fiscally and socially conservative) have indicated they will also pledge free abortions, much to the disappointment of supporters who have traditionally turned to them in order to act as a counterweight to the anti-God agenda of the Labor Party.

Joy Stockbauer, a policy analyst for Family Research Council’s Center for Human Dignity, told The Washington Stand that these legislators have lost sight of what really matters. “It appears the Democratic Caucus have forsaken truth for the sake of staying in the good graces of the abortion industry. Their constituents would do well to take notice that the safety, health, and wellbeing of their families will always be secondary in these legislators’ minds. Their priority will always be to appease abortion businesses and keep the Planned Parenthood campaign donations flowing.”
“If our national education system continues to claim to foster inclusion and tolerance, this must include tolerance of perspectives with which others disagree. In a free and just society, teachers should not be fired for honestly expressing their deeply-held beliefs in response to questions in the classroom. What happened to me is nothing short of censorship, and this precedent cannot be allowed to stand.”
Let the contrast sink in: when the state’s attempt to kill a convicted murderer fails, doctors rush to save her life. When a mother’s attempt to kill an innocent child fails, Congress still argues over whether the law should explicitly require appropriate care.
The American people deserve the thorough report on abortion drug safety that the FDA has promised for nearly two years, but the agency has again failed to deliver it. The FDA now says it won’t release its final study until March. That will be too late for nearly 90,000 unborn babies who will die between now and then by illegally obtained abortion drugs in states like Louisiana that have taken great care to protect babies and mothers from the harms of abortion.
This November, Idaho voters will decide whether to pass Prop 1, the so-called Reproductive Freedom and Privacy Act. A “Yes” vote creates a statutory “right” to abortion in Idaho until fetal viability. A “No” vote would leave in place Idaho’s Defense of Life Act, which protects babies from fertilization. Prop 1 is a citizen-initiated statute. If it passes on November 3, it will take effect on January 1, 2027, as new state law.
The fact that the government now claims that deception to obtain abortion pills is no longer an offence shows how morally corrupt our society has become. In no circumstances should deception to obtain medical treatment be acceptable. The mother is putting her own life at serious risk, let alone the life of her child, which may well end up costing the taxpayer and affecting all those close to her.
“And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold” (Matthew 24:12). Our Lord’s words, of course, never fail, because He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. His prophecy telling of the diminishing of love within fallen humanity as the end of the age approaches frames all the evil and wickedness we have been witnessing for decades.
Pro-life advocates are sounding the alarm on congressional Democrats’ plan to nationalize abortion up to birth if the balance of power swings decidedly left in the midterm elections. And their claims aren’t simply campaign rhetoric, but proposed legislation that’s hiding in plain sight.“Massachusetts’ barbaric new Abortion Up Until Birth Act is the Democrats’ agenda for the entire country,” SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser says. “If they control the levers of power in Washington, D.C., they will pass a national law requiring every state to allow elective abortion on demand throughout the second and third trimesters. Brutal late-term abortions done by dismemberment and lethal injection into a baby’s heart will be greenlit across this nation and states will be banned from protecting unborn children at any point.”
“The abortion drug is not safe," Hawley declared during the Family Research Council (FRC) Action’s Pray Vote Stand Summit last week. "It’s not safe for the babies it kills almost every single time, and it’s not safe for the mother, either, because in more than one in 10 cases, the mother who takes that pill is sent to an emergency room with a life-threatening condition. And the pharmaceutical companies who make that drug, they lie about it because they make money on abortions. The more abortions there are, the more money they make.”
Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) called on Congress to ban the use of the mail-order drug mifepristone that causes hundreds of thousands of chemical abortions of unborn children and sends one of every 10 women who take it to the hospital emergency room with serious, potentially fatal medical complications.
Seibel said this historic victory in the battle for the sanctity of human life moves the pro-life cause forward significantly with the court’s recognition of personhood for an unborn child. “This case recognized the baby to have an estate, and receive compensation for wrongful death, as a ‘person’ under New Mexico law,” he said. Seibel added: “In order to establish personhood, we must establish that the baby has rights. The more they have rights, the less you can just kill them. The more rights we establish, the better our case for personhood becomes.”
This tragic story is the natural consequence of the increasing commodification of children and putting adult desire over the rights of children. We see it with abortion, where a woman’s supposed “right to choose” trumps the right to life of her unborn child. We see it with traditional IVF and other reproductive technologies (which are very hard to do in a pro-life way), where babies are routinely discarded because they don’t “make the grade,” they have a genetic abnormality, they are the “wrong” sex, or the family is simply done having children. And we see it with the creation of LGBTQ families, where children are created to be purposefully deprived of either their mother or their father.
“An innocent, defenseless human life, in a caring and humane society, deserves better than to be flushed down a toilet or burned in an incinerator.” Such are the words of Henry Hyde, the former U.S. congressman from Illinois who tirelessly championed life and introduced the Hyde Amendment in 1976. Almost 50 years later, the legislative rider faces the opportunity to be renewed again.
“The Declaration of Independence gives us three examples of ‘unalienable’ rights: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Life is the first of those rights because it is the condition of the others. It is thus the most foundational of all rights.” Those words come from the opening paragraph of a “Declaration for Life: A Statement from Christian Leaders,” spearheaded by Missouri Senator Josh Hawley (R). I joined Senator Hawley in releasing the declaration this week after a prayer breakfast with Missouri pastors who traveled to Washington for the occasion.
When the tap runs, what else comes with it? The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has opened a new scientific study meant to sharpen the nation’s grasp of “potential pollutants in drinking water.” The agency is not only hunting the usual suspects. Traces of chemical abortion drugs have now been added to the watch list.
One example of this culture of death occurred recently at the Kentucky State Fair, which took place in Louisville, Kentucky—about an hour and a half from us at AiG. During the fair, an abortion nonprofit called Mayday Health rented a plane to fly a banner overhead that said, “Abortion Pills by Mail,” and included a URL for more information. Yes, they are promoting what the KY Attorney General calls “illegal drugs” because they want women to be able to murder their own children here in Kentucky. What a wicked organization. They do all they can to go out of their way to help people murder as many children in the womb as possible. So, so evil.
The New York-based company Mayday.Health is advertising illegal abortion procedures in Kentucky, state Attorney General Russell Coleman (R) alleged in a lawsuit filed Thursday. “These out of state activists are not only breaking Kentucky law, they seem to delight in rubbing our faces in it,” Coleman said. “We refuse to allow Mayday to taint our values and put our people at risk.”
In the wake of Dobbs, Planned Parenthood, our nation’s single largest abortion provider, developed and released a 14-point plan directing Democrat state attorneys general to target pro-life pregnancy resource centers and promote abortion.
After an Idaho district court became the first federal court in the nation to “find” a new federal constitutional right to abortion post-Dobbs, Idaho Attorney General Raúl Labrador, serving alongside Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys, asked the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit Wednesday to allow the state to protect the lives of unborn children and women.
Shawn Carney, CEO of 40 Days for Life, said that the law is “designed to scare people of faith off the sidewalks outside abortion facilities by creating the constant threat of prosecution and costly lawsuits,” because prayer, holding a sign, or offering a woman help could be seen as intimidation or coercion.
That’s the question an article in The Economist is asking as it highlights boutique IVF clinics, part of a “burgeoning industry aspir[ing] to reshape the way humans are made” by allowing parents to screen their embryos for IQ, height, and eye color. These start-ups are front and center in the commodification of children, turning human beings into products so wealthy parents can—according to their advertising on the New York subway—“have [their] best baby.” Children are not commodities or products to be genetically manipulated according to adult desires. Children are people, made in the image of God with inherent dignity and value right from fertilization.
“It will not desist from expressing the view—shared by tens of millions of Americans and by the pro-life movement your clients have made careers of publicly opposing—that abortion takes the life of a living human being and is accurately described as ‘killing,’” the letter said. “Live Action will not delete its archive, will not retract protected opinion, and will not submit its future coverage of public figures, public lawsuits, public convention speeches, and public political campaigns to your pre-clearance.”
When we understand how God views human life, we recognize that abortion is not simply a political issue; it concerns children created in the image of God. With that in mind, we should pay attention to what is happening in our nation, specifically within the state of Massachusetts.
Abortion drugs are being shipped, often in big brown trucks with friendly drivers, across boundaries into states with greater respect for life. Now two conservative companies are discussing ways to stop it. Both Jerry Bowyer, president and CEO of Bowyer Research, and Tim Schwarzenberger, director of corporate engagement at Inspire Investing, spoke on the “Washington Watch” program about their meeting. They have already submitted a proposal to United Parcel Service (UPS) to review their policy on distribution of abortion drugs.
Sometimes evil lurks in the shadows. Other times, it operates openly for everyone to see. That was the case earlier this week in Massachusetts when Democrat Governor Maura Healey signed legislation legalizing abortion up until the moment of birth. Flanked by a group of liberal women who were absolutely ecstatic about the new law, Governor Healey was thrilled at a signing ceremony earlier this week.
McKenna West, the surrogate mother, fled Alaska and flew to Texas, where abortion is illegal. There, she gave birth to Gabriel in a Dallas hospital on Aug. 12. Texas AG Ken Paxton announced that he had “secured an emergency court order ensuring that baby Gabriel receives life-saving care in Texas.”
The state of Massachusetts has enacted a radical abortion law that allows for a baby to be killed up until the moment of birth. Thanks to the Prioritizing Patient Care Act, medical personnel are legally protected to abort babies beyond 24 weeks gestation upon request. Healey hosted a press conference on Monday, surrounded by a group of joyful women as she made the announcement that will undoubtedly lead to the death of more children. “Abortion is healthcare” read the sign hung on the podium Healey spoke from. Massachusetts is the tenth state to allow abortion up to birth.
About 63% of abortions today are these chemical abortions (642,700 babies killed in 2023), and an increasing number take place at home. But what happens to the mifepristone after the woman takes it and kills her baby? The baby and the mifepristone leave the woman’s body and are flushed down the toilet to presumably be removed by the wastewater treatment plant—except no one was testing if conventional water treatment removed drugs like mifepristone from drinking water. Turns out, according to a new study, it doesn’t.
Young women training to bring life into the world are instead being trained to end it. Most students who choose midwifery do it because they want to care for mothers and babies. Folding abortion provision into that training, without it being sought out or chosen, changes the character of the profession itself.
A bill that would allow abortion for any reason up until the point of birth passed the Massachusetts House of Representatives last week and could become law by Friday if the state Senate passes the measure. Advocates are decrying the proposed measure as inhuman and are urging the public in the Bay State to reach out to their representatives to vote the legislation down.
“This settlement is not just about one family,” Crampton said. “It is a warning and a precedent. The weaponization of federal law enforcement against pro-lifers, against people of faith, against those who dare to stand for the unborn—that era is over.”
A study discovered that the abortion drug mifepristone has tainted the water supply in three major U.S. cities. Concerns mount as research shows an already declining fertility rate. In light of the discovery, Students for Life of America (SFLA) is urging the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to respond to the data by regulating the levels of mifepristone in drinking water. “We need the EPA to nationalize this examination, especially in light of so many struggling with infertility,” said Kristan Hawkins, CEO of SFLA.
