Sanctity Of Life On The Ballot: A State-By-State View Of The Abortion Battleground

Since 2022, when the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, one of the primary battlegrounds over abortion policy has been in the states. Both abortion-rights advocates and pro-life organizations have turned to statewide ballot initiatives to advance their policy positions on abortion.

Shifting Public Opinion: The Appeal Of Pride Month Appears To Be Fading

For years, June brought a predictable wave of corporate logos, advertising campaigns, themed merchandise, and public celebrations. Parents learned to pay closer attention to commercials in family programming, sports fans grew accustomed to Pride-themed uniforms and promotions, and many city streets became venues for often indecent displays at Pride parades. This year is noticeably different. The symbols are not gone, but they are far less prominent. It’s premature to say Pride has fallen, but it is fair to say the appeal of Pride Month has faded.

Substituting The Government For The Family: In First Set Back To Homeschooling In Decades, Connecticut Declares War

Connecticut officials just adopted the first major new restriction on homeschooling in America in decades, forcing parents to seek permission from “child welfare” authorities while imposing a slew of new regulations on families who exit government schools. Advocates for home education blasted the move. And they vowed to fight on. 

The Roots of Pride: Celebrating Rebellion Against God

At the heart of Pride Month and Pride celebrations throughout the year is pride. Pride comes from a rebellious heart that rejects the benevolent authority of the Creator. A proud person ultimately claims to know better than God and his Word and believes that inventing our own rules and celebrating our own choices, achievements, and desires is greater than what God has commanded in his Word. It’s a movement that puts the focus squarely on us rather than on God.

Only Red, White, And Blue: Trump Admin Bans Pride Flags From Embassies For The Second Consecutive June

The second Trump administration, however, has pumped the brakes on the Biden administration’s “whole-of-government” promotion of the LGBT agenda with full-fledged skepticism. Instead, the Trump administration has prioritized blocking gender transition procedures for minors, protecting women’s sports, and restoring Title IX to its original purpose. In 2025, President Trump issued no proclamation celebrating Pride Month, and he has refrained from doing so this year as well.

‘Life At Conception Act’ Seeks To Clarify: The 14th Amendment Applies To Humans At All Stages Of Life

The Act would clarify by statute that the right to life is guaranteed by the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution to every human being at all stages of life, beginning at the moment of conception and continuing until natural death. This federal bill seeks to establish the principle that many Americans already believe and science affirms  — that human life begins at conception, and every human being deserves equal protection under the law. The measure is based on the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which declares that no state shall “deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

The Battle To Redefine Parental Authority: Who’s In Charge Of Our Children?

To the alarm of many parents, this idea is being challenged in multiple ways in states across the country. Governments in multiple states have sought to impose requirements upon families with children, meant to force compliance. These regulations infringe on a parent’s ability to decide what and how their children are taught, who is permitted to teach, what’s best for their children’s health, and even whether they are given information on such matters. These objectives are primarily being pursued by amending state laws that impact all models of education, including public, private, charter, and especially homeschools.

Doctors Union Does About Face on Puberty Blockers for Minors

After two years of internal review, the BMA’s fierce opposition to the Cass Review has shifted to conceding that the evidence base for gender transitioning was weak, uncertain, and the “first, do no harm” principle should have guided decisions more carefully from the start—just as Cass’s report suggested.

Student Barred From Reading ‘Offensive’ Pro-Life Poem—As Teacher Allows Another Presentation Mocking Christ

A Colorado middle school prevented a student from reading a pro-life poem she wrote celebrating life in the womb. The school called her poem “offensive,” “unsafe,” and “too political,” while allowing poems supporting LGBTQ rights and a poem that reportedly mocked Jesus.

Study: 64 Online Abortion Pill Vendors Ignore 10-Week Gestational Limit

A startling new study has revealed that the vast majority of online abortion drug vendors are shipping the pills to women whose unborn children are past the point of 10 weeks’ gestation, in violation of the FDA’s federal safety limit.

The Unbiblical ‘Seminarian’ Who May Be The Most Woke Candidate Ever To Run For US Senate

Democrat James Talarico will take on Ken Paxton in November after Paxton defeated incumbent John Cornyn in Tuesday's Republican primary. Since you will be hearing a lot about this Senate race over the next five months, it is important for us to have a clear picture of this Democrat candidate, a Presbyterian “seminarian” who holds some very unbiblical views.

After Years Of Legal Wrangling, Updated UK Guidance Draws A Clear Line Firmly Anchoring ‘Sex’ To Biological Reality

In a move that could reshape how public services, businesses, and charities across Great Britain operate, the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has released an updated Code of Practice. This guidance firmly anchors the definition of “sex” in the Equality Act 2010 to biological reality, drawing a clear line after years of legal wrangling and institutional hesitation. “This Code of Practice confirms what should never have been in doubt: the law has always required the protection of single-sex spaces. Public bodies, including the NHS, have had a legal duty to comply, yet many have failed to do so, choosing instead to hide behind ‘awaiting guidance’ while pursuing unlawful policies.”

Gender Madness Is Embarrassing Reasonable Australians

The people in charge in Australia are, as a position of official policy, pretending to not know what it means to be human as male or female. This is shameful. This is the age in which we live, and of course, this problem is not unique to Australia. Too many countries are playing right along with them. But right now, the lovely Land Down Under is facing that global embarrassment.

Christian Lifeguard, L.A. County Go to Trial over June Pride Flag Ordinance

“It is shameful that L.A. County disrespected Jeffery’s simple request over a controversial, ideological flag,” Burt declared. “Every person deserves to know that their religious beliefs will be respected in their workplace and reasonable adjustments will be made to ensure they are not required to break their moral codes for a job.”

A UN Mission To Sexualize Children: The Classroom’s Best Kept Secret

In classrooms across the globe, a quiet yet burgeoning campaign is underway to shape what children as young as 5 are taught about sex, relationships, and their own bodies. It is being driven by some of the world’s most influential institutions such as the UN, while parents, legal guardians, and the wider public are kept largely in the dark about what is happening behind school walls.

A Publicly Owned UK Broadcaster And The Fruits Of A Culture That Has Lost Its Moral Bearings

Christians cannot afford to shrug this off as “just television”. Scripture calls us to speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves and to expose what harms rather than heals. It is a Christian responsibility to raise complaints with public broadcasters, engage regulators, and challenge public institutions when boundaries are crossed and the vulnerable are harmed.

Charges Dropped Against Woman Who Prayed in Abortion ‘Censorship’ Zone

“The collapse of this case exposes serious flaws in the enforcement of these so-called ‘censorship zones,’” Williams said. “Claire Brennan was engaged in peaceful, compassionate activity, praying and offering support. Yet she faced criminal prosecution for living out her Christian faith. These laws are having a chilling effect across Northern Ireland, criminalizing ordinary people who simply want to offer women real choice, including alternatives to abortion. No society committed to freedom can justify punishing prayer or quiet offers of help.”

New Pro-Life Bill To Test South Australia’s New Parliament 

While similar Bills did not pass in 2024 and 2025, the newly elected South Australian Parliament presents a new landscape and significant opportunity to advance the pro-life cause further in our State. Since abortion up to birth was legalised in South Australia in 2022, official statistics show that at least 105 babies have been aborted after 22 weeks’ gestation – including in the third trimester. Tragically, these abortions have occurred even for "mental health reasons."

Killing Disabled Infants?: Canada Is Careening Down A Slope Of Devaluing Human Life

Comments a Canadian physician made in 2022—which I wrote about at the time—are making the rounds on social media again after they were shared by Campaign Life Coalition during a speech. This physician suggested that Canada’s incredibly expansive euthanasia program (called MAiD, or “medical assistance in dying”) should be further expanded to include infants up to one year old who have “severe deformations” and “very grave . . . medical syndromes.” In other words, if parents missed being able to abort their baby with a disability before birth, no problem—doctors should be able to kill the baby after birth!

HHS Reinstitutes Religious Liberty Protection Office Dismantled Under The Biden Administration

“The Division will stand for the principle that it is fundamentally unfair to coerce, treat differently, persecute, or penalize an individual or organization for acting in accord with its religious or moral beliefs when those actions constitute protected conduct under Federal law,” the HHS official said. “Many providers of health care and human services are motivated by their religious beliefs or moral convictions, and they should not be driven out of Federal programs because of those convictions.”

Rather Than Accepting ‘Pride’ Activism As The Norm, Cities, States, And Individuals Are Pushing Back

As the month of June arrives each year, I find myself bracing mentally for the flood of rainbow flags on display, announcements of parades that celebrate perversion and ungodly lifestyles. However, this year feels somewhat different compared to the last few years. It almost seems as if there is a subtle reversal happening towards traditional views, family values, and even Biblical truth.

‘Absolutely Devastated’: Australia Federal Court Strikes Disturbing Blow To Biological Reality

“A law written to protect women has been used to punish a woman for creating a space for women. That is what today’s judgment means in practice,” said Robert Clarke, Director of Advocacy for ADF International.   “The addition of ‘gender identity’ to the Sex Discrimination Act has been used to undermine the most basic conception of what a woman is. The need for single-sex spaces is recognised in international human rights law. It must be recognised in Australian law too, and if the courts will not say so, then Parliament must.”

After Federal And State Prosecutors Had It Over A Barrel, Texas Hospital Agrees To Open Nation’s First Detransition Clinic

Clearly, the hospital realized federal and state prosecutors had it over a barrel. So, like any self-interested business, it finally decided to cut its losses and reach the best deal that it could. This entailed significant cooperation with authorities, which the DOJ publicly recognized. Over the course of a five-year investigation, the hospital turned over more than five million documents to investigators.

Supreme Court Allows Dangerous Mail-Order Abortion Drug To Continue Flowing Into Pro-Life States

“What is at stake is the perpetration of a scheme to undermine our decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, … which restored the right of each State to decide how to regulate abortions within its borders,” Alito said. “Some States responded to Dobbs by making it even easier to obtain an abortion than it was before, and that is their prerogative. Other States, including Louisiana, made abortion illegal except in narrow circumstances. ... But Louisiana’s efforts have been thwarted by certain medical providers, private organizations, and States that abhor laws like Louisiana’s and seek to undermine their enforcement.”

The SPLC Has Been ‘Poisoning Pupils’ Minds For Years’

The SPLC’s extremist education program has influenced many educators, as Family Research Council (FRC) reported in “The SPLC’s Radical Learning for Justice Program,” published in 2021: "The SPLC delivered 900,000 copies of their Teaching Tolerance magazine in 2019 alone. The group’s magazine has been in circulation since 1991. That’s long enough for an entire generation of children influenced by the SPLC agenda to become teachers themselves."

A Fundamentally Christian Nation: The Recognition Of Almighty God Is In All 50 State Constitutions

While the founding fathers went to some lengths to ensure the US would never have its own version of the Church of England, they clearly conceived of their new country as fundamentally Christian as opposed to any other religion, as did those who drafted the 50 state constitutions.

California House Passes Dangerous Bill Forcing Insurance Coverage For ‘Transgender’ Mutilation

By redefining sex to include gender identity, sexual orientation, and related characteristics, the bill would prohibit insurers from denying or limiting coverage for procedures tied to gender transition if those procedures are covered in other contexts. That means puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and irreversible surgeries would be treated as protected medical services.

Pro-Life Physicians Pray Court Heeds Warning About Mail-Order Abortion

More than 100 briefs have been filed urging the U.S. Supreme Court, as it considers Louisiana v. FDA, to reinstate safety protocols for mail-order abortion removed during Joe Biden’s administration.

Parents Need To Talk With Teens About AI From The Foundation Of God’s Word

According to Pew Research, 1 in 3 teens use chatbots—which is more than parents realize. Another study reported that 1 in 5 teens has been romantically involved with AI or knows someone who has. Parents need to talk with teens about AI. More than ever, families must disciple young people to use technology wisely from the foundation of God’s Word.

Congress Must Extend The Defunding Of Planned Parenthood

This Fourth of July will be a huge celebration of America’s 250th birthday. It will also be the day our nation’s largest abortion giant, Planned Parenthood, receives a multi-million-dollar gift – unless Congress intervenes.

Obliterating Pro-Life Protections: The FDA Abortion Pill Policy Seeks To Make Death Great Again

In the mid-90s, the French-made abortion pill made its way to the U.S. via the Population Council, but there was no company to manufacture and distribute the drug. So, a company was formed, backed by private funding, coordinated by the deep state, and operating with notable secrecy, incorporated in the Cayman Islands, with little public information beyond its name: Danco. And it’s only product? The abortion drug.

Americans Celebrate 75th National Day of Prayer: ‘Prayer Has Been A Part Of Our DNA Since The Very Beginning’

The National Day of Prayer’s establishment dates back to 1952, when Congress passed a law stating that an annual day of prayer must be declared under each president. President Harry Truman signed the measure into law, but in 1988 the date was officially established as the first Thursday each May. Christian leaders including Billy Graham advocated for the day to be emphasized as a way for the nation to return to Jesus Christ through prayer.

New Jersey AG Defies Supreme Court Ruling Backing Christian Pregnancy Centers

“A state AG’s office has spent more than two years using its coercive subpoena power to target a pro-life pregnancy center without any evidence of wrongdoing. The Supreme Court just unanimously affirmed that demanding private donor information chills First Amendment rights and gets First Choice into federal court. One day later, the AG is racing to a state court to enforce the same subpoena before federal review can occur.”
