An Industry ‘Drenched In Deceit’: The Shrouded Dangers Of The Abortion Pill

Dr. Ingrid Skop, vice president and director of medical affairs for Charlotte Lozier Institute, says the FDA’s statistics are often inaccurate because women often go to an emergency room rather than return to the abortionist. Charlotte Lozier Institute’s study on ER visits related to abortion pills found that in a five-year period, nearly 84% of those visits were miscoded as miscarriages. Skop, a practicing obstetric hospitalist, also says that in some studies, half or more of the women are lost to follow-up.

A Foundation of Scripture: The Founding Fathers Passed A Torch; Modern Americans Would Do Well Not To Let It Go Out

To most of America’s founding fathers, the Bible was true from beginning to end, and it was the only source upon which to establish the new, independent nation. However, with the advent of conjectures and hypotheses that undermined how people viewed the Bible’s history, its moral authority began to erode. Without the Bible’s absolute moral truths guiding the American people, the institution undergirded by this authority and designed to govern them will falter.

Appeals Court Upholds Defunding of Big Abortion Businesses

“The First Circuit correctly recognized that HHS is likely to prevail on the merits. Americans overwhelmingly oppose being forced to fund abortion, and this decision helps restore accountability and respect for long-standing federal law.”

Trump Admin Launches Prayer Campaign To Celebrate Nation’s Founding: ‘Let Us Rededicate Ourselves To One Nation Under God’

The call to pray is a priority for evangelical Christians, who know that prayer must be true prayer, prayed in the Name of Jesus to the one true God. During a meeting of the Trump-appointed Religious Liberty Commission, held at the Museum of the Bible in early September, Scott Turner, U.S. secretary of Housing and Urban Development and a Southern Baptist minister, cast the vision for “America Prays” and said more than 70 faith organizations had already joined the initiative.

Attempting To Usurp Sovereignty Over Death: Cryonics, Euthanasia, And The Oldest Lie

In the end, whether through euthanasia or cryonics, these are not triumphs of human hope but towering monuments to human unbelief — an icy altar erected by those who would rather stake eternity on the cold singularity of engineered death or the fantastical dream of an earthly resurrection than bow before the coming King.

18 States Launch Lawsuit Against The HHS For Protecting Children From Sex-Rejecting Procedures

“This proposal seeks to clarify that hospitals participating in our programs cannot conduct these unproven procedures on children,” said CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz in a press release. “CMS will ensure that federal program standards reflect our responsibility to promote the health and safety of children.” The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon, is led by the attorneys general of New York, Oregon, and Washington.

‘Thou Shall Not Murder’: It’s Time For Our Society To Revisit The Sixth Commandment

Everywhere we look, we see it: Our culture is awash in violence and murder. We see it in movies and television programs. We see it in music and video games. And we see it in real time. Just imagine how different our world would be if we would obey this Commandment: “You shall not murder” (Exodus 20:13).

Assisted Suicide Comes To The American Heartland

“The pressure people will feel to end their lives if assisted suicide or euthanasia is legalised will be greatly accentuated at this time of economic recession with families and health budgets under pressure. Elder abuse and neglect by families, carers and institutions are real and dangerous and this is why strong laws are necessary.”

The Great Crisis of 2026: The Endless Pursuit Of Malleable ‘Truth’

Without knowable truth, everything rests on opinions, and opinions mold themselves into whatever shape seems most convenient. In such an existence, the thing we call “truth” becomes a mere justification for our desires and feelings. In politics, truth has become a commodity to be manufactured, bought, and sold — something that can be molded to fit the tastes of whatever audience the politician wants to reach at that moment. While freedom from objective truth can at first feel liberating, it eventually entraps and entombs people in a nightmare of shifting ground.

With No Regard For Biological Realities, Australia’s National Sanity Is Broken

Did you know Australia no longer has a biological definition of ‘man’ and ‘woman’ in federal law? No wonder our nation is confused. This isn’t an abstract legal glitch. It’s a cultural earthquake and we’re all living in the aftershocks. When the law deletes biological reality, it reflects something deeper: a nation rejecting God and rejecting truth.

Democrat States Sue as HHS Moves to Cut Federal Funds for Child Gender Procedures

A coalition of 19 Democratic-led states and the District of Columbia has filed a lawsuit challenging new federal restrictions on so-called “gender-affirming” medical treatments for minors, arguing the policy unlawfully threatens health care access and state Medicaid programs.

In Landmark Class-Action Ruling, Federal Court Deals Decisive Blow To California’s Twisted Gender Agenda

In his ruling, Benitez made clear that the state had overstepped its constitutional authority by sidelining parents, compelling educators to violate their consciences, and harming vulnerable children by depriving them of parental guidance. At the heart of the case was the question of who holds primary authority over a child’s welfare. The court answered decisively: parents do.

California Schools May Not Hide Students’ ‘Gender Identity’ From Parents

A U.S. District Court affirmed parents’ fundamental constitutional rights and blocked California schools from hiding information about a child’s “gender identity” from them. Judge Roger T. Benitez’ decision also affirmed the religious liberty and free speech of teachers, saying the legislators and the California Department of Education (CDOE) could not force teachers to lie to parents or hide their children’s sexual identity confusion from them.

Celebrating Sin And Warping God’s Design: Progressive Church Blesses ‘Marriage’ Of Four Men

This was four men “marrying” each other. This was not a legal ceremony as polygamy is not legal in Germany, but the clergywoman said it was “marriage in the eyes of God.” But it is no such thing since God defines marriage as one man for one woman and calls the relationship these four men have with each other an abomination (Leviticus 20:13) and evidence of God turning them over to “dishonorable passions” and then to “a debased mind to do what ought not to be done” (Romans 1:26, 28).

Upholding Biological Truth: House Of Representatives, HHS Move To Ban Gender Transition Procedures On Minors

“Nearly all U.S. hospitals participate in Medicare and Medicaid and this action is designed to ensure that the U.S. government will not be in business with organizations that intentionally or unintentionally inflict permanent harm on children,” the HHS press release stated. “Sex-rejecting procedures on children—which include puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgical operations—expose them to irreversible damage, including infertility, impaired sexual function, diminished bone density, altered brain development, and other irreversible physiological effects.”

The Legalization Of Euthanasia: Illinois And New York Embrace The Culture of Death

In 1996, the Southern Baptist Convention warned that “American society seems to be embracing the culture of death.” Its resolution criticized physician-assisted suicide and urged doctors, nurses, and churches to prioritize the emotional, psychological, and spiritual care of suffering patients, with the goal of relieving “the sense of isolation and abandonment some dying patients feel.” Both Governors Pritzker and Hochul noted that stories of profound suffering motivated their push for physician-assisted suicide. In the months and years ahead, Christians must be prepared to articulate why the culture of death is destructive.

New York Times Joins War on Homeschooling, Arguing The Government—Not Parents—Should Control What Children Learn

The NY Times attack, republished by other major newspapers across the country, is part of a coordinated assault. From the UNESCO report demanding government control over home education and the efforts of Harvard law Professor Elizabeth Bartholet to ban it, to European media anti-homeschooling propaganda and government attacks, this is just the start. Ultimately, home education appears to be emerging as a major threat not just to government indoctrination programs, but to totalitarian agendas everywhere.

IVF Embryo Destruction Surpasses Abortion As The Leading Cause Of Death In The United States

The sheer number of persons destroyed in the typical IVF process highlights the commodification of life, where babies are created only to be destroyed if they aren’t “good enough.” (But who defines “good enough”?) Christians must speak out against the intentional killing of babies, whether those babies are forming in the womb or in a petri dish. Each individual embryo is a person made in the image of God, fearfully and wonderfully knit together by him and deserving of life. They are not a commodity to be kept or discarded at the whim of the parents or a technician in a lab.

Chick-fil-A Rebelling Against Christian Values, Doubling Down On Toxic DEI Stance

It’s one thing to catch a local Chick-fil-A rebelling against Christian values — and quite another for headquarters to defend it. After this month’s revelation that an Orem, Utah location was publicly supporting same-sex marriage in a congratulatory post on Facebook (a post that’s still there), several disappointed customers reached out to corporate, hoping for an apology — or at least clarity — on what they saw as a public departure from the chain’s longtime beliefs. What they got instead was further confirmation that the Cathys’ beloved empire has lost its way.

Court Upholds Trump Ban on ‘Transgender’ Service Members

The order properly explained, "This policy is inconsistent with the medical, surgical, and mental health constraints on individuals with gender dysphoria. This policy is also inconsistent with shifting pronoun usage or use of pronouns that inaccurately reflect an individual’s sex."

Pro-Life Billboards Set Off Canadian Speech Debate

Pro-life billboards in West Kelowna, British Columbia, are scheduled to come down at the end of their contract following a fight with pro-abortion activists. The billboards—which state, “All lives are precious”—were purchased from B.C. Billboards by the Kelowna Right to Life Society and stand along Route 97, just 120 miles north of the American-Canadian border. 

Protestors Arrested for Opposing Puberty Blockers Take Legal Action Against Brussels Authorities

“Puberty blockers, and the cross-sex hormones that so often follow them, are highly dangerous drugs that can cause long-lasting damage to children—impacting their bodily development, bone density, mental health, lifelong fertility, and more,” explained Miller. “It is scandalous to expose children to these drugs, and it is scandalous to silence and jail those who speak out about it. No one should fear arrest for defending children’s safety.”

New Report Shines Spotlight On Netflix’s Aggressive LGBT Agenda Targeting Children

CWA asked a pivotal question: “Which came first: LGBTQ+ content aimed at kids, or ‘inclusive’ content that caters to kids who identify as LGBTQ+?” The report noted that studios frequently justify the material as “educational” or “affirming,” yet “we have seen enough leaked videos and internal memos to know that there is, for many working in entertainment, a desire to reshape the culture to align with their own worldview.”

School District Backs Down After Years Of Violating The Parental Rights Of Christians

“Parents have the right to direct the upbringing, education and health care of their children without fear of government interference,” said ADF Senior Counsel Kate Anderson, director of ADF’s Center for Parental Rights, in a press release. “Schools should never hide vital information from parents, let alone go against their express instructions related to the well-being of their children. School officials should support parents, not replace them. In this case, we’re pleased HISD agreed to honor the Osborns’ wishes and respect parents’ constitutional rights.”

Poll Reveals Widespread Ignorance Amongst Americans About The Abortion Pills And Its Dangers

“I believe that Americans generally care about the health and well-being of women,” she said. “Unfortunately, the pro-life movement is up against the abortion lobby, which pours endless dollars into messaging campaigns designed to frame abortion as female empowerment. In reality, abortion dehumanizes and harms women and ultimately kills their children. It is vital that we continue speaking up and educating our neighbors about the truth of abortion.”

Chick-Fil-A Waffles On Wokeness With Same-Sex Marriage Post And DEI Focus

While most of corporate America wisely took the temperature of angry consumers and backed away from woke politics, one shocking holdout remains: Chick-fil-A. The beloved fast-food franchise, who’s best known for its Christian ownership and family-centric policies, is quietly still condoning a message that is radically at odds with the biblical values that most people associate them with — including same-sex marriage.

University Of California Mandates Students Conform To Gender Ideology To Remain Registered

In order to continue with semester registration, students must achieve “a perfect score,” which requires them to answer in ways that align with gender ideology, including that “failing to use one’s self-declared trans pronouns or protesting the presence of men in women’s restrooms constitutes a hostile environment and qualifies as harassment.”

Supreme Court Hears Pregnancy Center’s Case As New Jersey State Government Takes Aim At Pro-Life Groups

Both ADF and First Choice Executive Director Aimee Huber have pointed out that the state attorney’s general’s office seems to be attacking the centers because they’re pro-life. “Our state’s government has done everything they could to make New Jersey a sanctuary state for abortion,” said Huber. “Since pregnancy centers like ours do not perform or refer for abortion, we are targets for a government that disagrees with our views.”

Assassination Culture Poses A Grave Threat To The Moral And Social Fabric Of America

A growing number of American adults feel political violence can be at least partially justified in some circumstances, per a recent survey conducted by the Network Contagion Research Institute and Rutgers University’s Social Perception Lab. The survey concluded failure to “explicitly confront and condemn” assassination culture would result in “real-world escalation.”

After Being Targeted By New York AG, Appeals Court Lifts Ban On Informing Patients About Abortion Pill Reversal

“This simple and life-saving treatment gives unborn children a second chance at life and saves mothers from forever living with the consequences of an abortion. Thanks to the amazing work of the Abortion Pill Rescue Network and pregnancy resource centers, thousands of children are alive today who would not otherwise be,” Stockbauer said. “I pray that God will use the evil intentions of pro-abortion radicals for good, using their efforts to restrict abortion pill reversal as a means to inform even more women about its existence.”

Report Warns Critical Race Theory Could Be Worming Its Way Back into Classrooms

Banned in several red states, CRT is often described by those holding more progressive worldviews as an academic framework meant to examine “systemic racism.” Critics, however, would classify it as an ideological agenda that promotes racism — hence why many Republican-led states have taken steps to keep it out of their school curricula. Yet, a new report from the conservative Foundation for Freedom Online (FF) warns that CRT is quietly sneaking its way back in through the “media literacy” campaign.

Canadian Activists Call For Child Euthanasia, Including Without Parental Consent For Older Minors

Dying With Dignity Canada, a euthanasia (actually, murder) activist group, believes that “maturity” rather than age should determine who is eligible for medical assistance in dying and “recommends minors as young as 12 be included in the program, and goes as far as to suggest 16 and 17-year-olds shouldn’t even need parental consent to be killed by a doctor if they fit broad criteria.”

EU’s Highest Court Rules That Poland And Other Member States Must Recognize Same-Sex Marriages

While Poland’s justice minister confirmed that the government will implement the ruling, the office of President Karol Nawrocki declared that Poland “will not succumb to the terror of rainbow rulings.” If the EU deems Poland in violation of implementing the ruling, the country could face ongoing fines until it complies.
