Pro-Life Americans Pray for Supreme Court as New Term Begins - LifeNews.com
We've all been in gatherings where we've sung Christian hymns, and we're all familiar with so many of them. But when was the last time you heard a verse of a Christian hymn say, "And here comes judicial reform?" For me, it was this past Monday, as I gathered with Christian conservative leaders and prayer warriors at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, DC to speak and lead prayer at third annual National Consecration of Our Court.
Henry Hyde's Miracle Amendment Saved Lives Original
On Sept. 30, 1976, just three years after abortion was legalized across the nation, a freshman member of the House of Representatives — a Republican in a Congress dominated in both chambers by Democrats — managed to successfully push through what has since been known as the Hyde Amendment. The Hyde Miracle might be a more fitting sobriquet for the amendment that has saved an estimated 2.7 million lives by prohibiting federal taxpayer funding for most abortions.
To Protect Our Children: A Day of Remembrance for Those Aborted
The brutality of abortion continues even after a child is ripped from the womb. Bodies of aborted babies are disposed with medical waste and incinerated. Sometimes they are dumped into trash bins or fields. In one infamous case in California, the bodies of 16,443 aborted babies were found in a locked storage container outside a private home. A three-year court battle led by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) ensued to prevent the babies from being granted the dignity of a proper burial.
To Protect Our Children: A Day of Remembrance for Those Aborted
Anti-abortion protesters in Eugene, Oregon. (Joshua Rainey/Dreamstime.com) The brutality of abortion continues even after a child is ripped from the womb. Bodies of aborted babies are disposed with medical waste and incinerated. Sometimes they are dumped into trash bins or fields. In one infamous case in California, the bodies of 16,443 aborted babies were found in a locked storage container outside a private home.
Pro-Life Americans Will Mourn 67 Million Babies Killed in Abortions - LifeNews.com
This Saturday is the National Day of Remembrance for Aborted Children. Co-founded by three pro-life groups in 2013, it is a day on which people from coast to coast gather at the gravesites where aborted babies are buried, or alternatively, at the memorial markers that have been set up at various Churches, cemeteries, and other religious sites. The "Vision" memo I shared with the other co-founders prior to the launch of this project helps us understand a few key dimensions of this observance.
Left Trying to Open Door on Late Term Abortions
"Appellant and some amici argue that the woman's right is absolute and that she is entitled to terminate her pregnancy at whatever time, in whatever way, and for whatever reason she alone chooses. With this we do not agree." — Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973) Since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe, in Dobbs vs. Jackson Women's Health Organization, 597 U.S. 215 (2022), there has been much discussion about "codifying Roe" in state law.
Religious Liberty Essential to Preserving Life Original
Religious liberty is more than the freedom to hold private beliefs — it is the freedom to live according to one's faith in public life. The recommendations recently presented by the Religious Liberty Commission to President Trump reinforce the principle that Americans should never have to choose between following their faith and following the law. This has particular impact on Americans who fight every day to protect children in the womb from the violence of abortion.
Speaker Mike Johnson Wants to Defund Planned Parenthood Again - LifeNews.com
Once again, I was privileged and inspired to be part of the Road to Majority Conference, put together by the Faith and Freedom Coalition led by one of my great friends and allies, Dr. Ralph Reed, one of the most knowledgeable and influential figures in American politics. Taking place in Washington, DC from June 25-27 th, just a week before our nation's 250 th birthday, it was the largest such event ever, bringing together the best lineup of political speakers in the nation. President Donald J.
On America's 250th Birthday, Acknowledge Unborn Babies Have a Right to Life - LifeNews.com
In celebrating her 250 th birthday, America is celebrating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence, a document that lays out with clarity the principles and self-evident truths on which our Republic is based. Our Founders declared God as the source of our unalienable rights, starting with the right to life itself, and further declared that governments are instituted to secure those rights. George Washington wrote to Tench TilghmanI, "I shall persevere ...
What if Jesse and Ashley Ridgway Found Out Their Baby Had Down Syndrome After Birth? - LifeNews.com
By now most of you have heard of or seen the viral video and other postings of YouTube influencer Jesse Ridgway and the decision to abort his Down syndrome baby. Now many spoke up to say this was wrong, citing, among other things, the right of Down syndrome children to live, the happiness they share, and the love they evoke in their families. Others will complain that we who defend the rights of these babies don't have compassion.
America Needs Babies, A Trump Website Can Help
One month after the U.S. Supreme Court released handed down its opinion in Dobbs vs. Jackson Women's Health Organization, 597 U.S. 215 (2022) - the opinion overturning Roe v. Wade 410 U.S. 113 (1973), then-President Joe Biden established the Interagency Task Force on Reproductive Healthcare Access to put the federal government to work ensuring that mothers would be able to continue killing their babies in the womb. And he started an abortion website.
Trump protects the tools pro-lifers need to save the unborn
TRUMP TRIES TO WOO BACK ANTI-ABORTION GROUPS WITH MATERNAL HEALTH PUSH I don’t need the president to give pro-life speeches or articulate the principled basis of our opposition to abortion. We, pro-life leaders and activists, can do that just fine. We need the president to preserve the tools we need to do so: freedom of speech, of religion, of the press, of association, of protest, and more. Trump’s victories in all these areas help the pro-life side more than the pro-abortion side.
Trump Ushers-In Golden Age for Life
Some in the anti-abortion movement are increasingly agitated at various obstacles in the way of goals we all share, whether ending chemical abortion or ending funding for abortion. But there’s strongly encouraging news in the big picture. Our movement, just like our country itself, is experiencing the beginning of a Golden Age right now.
Exclusive—Frank Pavone: Gosnell Is Dead, But the Troubling Lessons He Teaches Should Live On
I was in the courtroom for his trial, sitting right behind him, seeing the smirk on his face as if he had nothing to be ashamed of. I’ve seen it a hundred times, and I have helped many abortionists and clinic workers repent of it. It represents the dehumanization that occurs when we think babies can be killed and especially when we’re complicit in the killing. We dehumanize them and, in the process, dehumanize ourselves.
Exclusive-Frank Pavone: It’s Time for the Senate to Kill the Filibuster
The culprit is the filibuster, and among the many reasons now being discussed for ending or limiting it to a talking filibuster, one of the most compelling is this: The filibuster demoralizes voters. Americans vote for certain policies, win elections, and then they don’t see the policies enacted. And the hidden culprit, about which many are unaware, is the filibuster. For that, much of the blame goes to Aaron Burr.
Trump Asserts U.S. Sovereignty, Affirms Life | Newsmax.com
President Donald Trump's executive order withdrawing the United States from 66 international organizations was a decisive assertion of national sovereignty and a recalibration of America's role globally. The move reflects a long-standing concern among many Americans that participation in sprawling international bodies often comes with high costs, limited accountability, and policies which may conflict with U.S. interests.
America's Birthday Should Be a Declaration of the Right to Life
Red, white and blue confetti fell from the sky in Times Square, as a patriotic New Year’s Eve crystal ball came down to welcome 2026. At the same time, the Washington Monument lit up like a giant birthday candle for America, with video projections celebrating key moments in an American history that can fittingly be described as miraculous. As we welcomed the New Year, we have welcomed the 250th birthday of America, marked by the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.
First Amendment Our Superpower in Battle to End Abortion
Pregnancy resource centers exist solely to help mothers choose life in unexpected or trying circumstances. The reason abortion advocates so frequently target these centers is very simple. Every life saved is money taken away from the abortion industry. The latest attack on the centers recently made its way to the U.S. Supreme Court — as others have before — and even the abortion rights-friendly legacy media has to admit this one looks like a slam dunk in favor of the centers.
Sanctity of Life in Va. Very Much in Hands of Voters
Grave threats are looming for the unborn in Virginia following the disastrous results of the recent 2025 elections. Not only is anti-abortion Gov. Glenn Youngkin, R-Va., to be succeeded by a strident pro-abortion-rights advocate, Abigail Spanberger, but the Democrats' beefed-up majority in the House of Delegates makes it all but inevitable that a pro-abortion-rights amendment will appear on the ballot in 2026.
Abortion's Violence Not About Religion, It's Against Human Decency | Newsmax.com
When he delivers his farewell speech to the U.S. Senate at the end of 2026, Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., will cap off a long career in Congress. He where he was elected to the House in 1982 and the Senate in 1996. He might be remembered as the lawmaker who led the charge to end cigarette smoking on airplanes. Or his passionate advocacy for the children of people who entered the U.S. illegally. Or for insisting on more funding for Amtrak.
Parental Rights At Issue in Abortion-Related Bill
For decades, Congress has attempted to protect underage girls from being taken across state lines for abortions by adults who are not their parents or guardians. They’ve tried but have not yet succeeded. Bills making it a federal crime to transport these minors (the Child Custody Protection Act) have had votes since 1998. The House approved the bill that year, and again in 1999, 2002, and 2005.

Why Restoration of Planned Parenthood Funding Won’t Last
The provision in the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBBA) that cuts off Medicaid funding to entities that perform elective abortions has been the greatest victory for the anti-abortion cause since the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, 597 U.S. 215 (2022). Yet Planned Parenthood doesn’t seem to want to pay attention to American jurisprudence on abortion.

Does the Constitution protect the right to life?
OPINION: This summer has seen the kickoff of the celebration of our nation’s 250th birthday, which will culminate on July 4, 2026.
In Battle to Save Lives, We'll Take Small Victories | Newsmax.com
Recent developments in Congress and the courts have given the anti-abortion movement numerous occasions to celebrate. At the end of June, the U.S. Supreme Court, in a 6-3 decision written by Justice Neil Gorsuch, found that Medicaid laws do not give individuals the right to bring federal lawsuits against states. The case, Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, grew out of South Carolina’s decision to remove the nation’s largest abortion seller from its Medicaid program.
Happy Birthday, America
The 249th birthday of America finds winds of blessing blowing at our backs. The document adopted on July 4, 1776 is a Declaration of Independence from tyranny. It was created by people who wanted a nation where they could worship God openly, freely, and without government hindrance. And the flames of religious freedom are burning brightly in America in 2025. I recently attended the first briefing of the Religious Liberty Commission which President Trump recently established.
The MAHA Movement and the Hidden Truth About Abortion
The abortion lobby should be worried about the Make America Healthy Again movement and its leader, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. They should be worried because I believe that as he seeks an answer to the question of why so many Americans are unhealthy, he will be even-handed and objective, no matter where the search leads. One of the things I am confident he will discover is that abortion is making Americans sick.
May Easter Bless Our Republic
“[O]ur Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ—the living Son of God … conquered death, freed us from sin, and unlocked the gates of Heaven for all of humanity.” One might think this is from a sermon of a religious leader, but it’s actually from the White House, specifically from President Trump’s message for Holy Week 2025.
Frank Pavone-Holy Week for the Nation Original
Guest Post by Pro-life Leader Frank Pavone, National Director, Priests for Life The second Trump Administration continues to be one of “Promises Made, Promises Kept” not the least of which regards religion. Since the start of his first presidential campaign in 2015, President Trump has insisted on what the Founders knew well: this Republic was established for a moral and religious people. Part of making and keeping America great is keeping religion and the voice of the Churches loud and clear.
Lobbying to Protect our Taxpayer Dollars from Abortion Original
Guest Post by Pro-life Leader Frank Pavone, National Director, Priests for Life In the pro-life movement, we work to protect babies, moms and dads, and our whole society from the devastating wounds of abortion. We also work to protect our hard-earned taxpayer dollars from funding it.
Hundreds of Pregnancy Center Directors Gather to Help Each Other Support Women, Save Babies
Approximately three hundred pregnancy center directors and staff affiliated with the National Institute of Family and Life Advocates (NIFLA)gathered in Williamsburg, VA this week for their annual four-day conference, an event marked by prayer and celebration, information and strategy.
Frank Pavone: Anniversary of an Important Document Regarding Abortion and the Meaning of Democracy Original
Guest Post by Pro-life Leader Frank Pavone, National Director, Priests for Life One of the most striking, bold and sobering paragraphs ever written about the impact of abortion on the common good is the 20th paragraph of St. Pope John Paul II’s encyclical Evangelium Vitae (The Gospel of Life), which is marking its 30th anniversary on March 25.
Trump Continues Fight Against Abortion Extremism
President Trump’s decision to dismiss a lawsuit seeking to force emergency room doctors in Idaho to perform abortion was a prudent one and it served to further underscore his belief that regulation of abortion is the job of individual states. The suit asked whether the federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) should supersede Idaho law protecting most babies from abortion by allowing the procedure if a mother’s life is in jeopardy.
People Worldwide are Praying to End Abortion
The Spring 2025 Campaign of 40 Days for Life is in full swing, and it is beautiful to see how those who participate in these prayer vigils not only save lives every day but serve the entire pro-life movement. I just returned from leading prayer vigils at six sites in Southern California (sadly, a hotbed of child-killing) and was inspired by the leaders and the prayer warriors.
Frank Pavone: The Most Christian Presidency in History
Guest Post by Pro-life Leader Frank Pavone, National Director, Priests for Life We’ve all seen and heard the criticisms that President Donald Trump doesn’t behave in a Christian way. The fact is that he is behaving in a very Christian way. And I’m not just talking about the historic actions he has taken for religious freedom.
Defund Big Abortion Now
During his first administration, amid similar actions, President Donald Trump succeeded in taking from Planned Parenthood some $60 million by indirectly forcing the abortion provider into withdrawing from the Title X family planning program. That was a win for anti-abortion, but we in the movement have our eyes on a bigger prize during Trump 2.0 and the 119th Congress: We want the organization defunded completely. Planned Parenthood received nearly $700 million in 2022-2023.
Pro-life Leaders Unite Behind President Trump for Concrete Pro-life Action
Guest Post by Pro-life Leader Frank Pavone, National Director, Priests for Life When dozens of national and state pro-life leaders gathered at Priests for Life headquarters in Titusville, Florida, earlier this month for a three-day strategy meeting my team and I organize each year (along with quarterly meetings in Washington), our discussions were substantive and wide-ranging.
Restoring 'Biological Truth' Helps Anti-Abortion Movement
The first week of President Trump's second term was unparalleled for the "pro-life" movement. With the stroke of his pen, the president pardoned 23 anti-abortion activists convicted of violating the unjust Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, restored the protections of the Hyde Amendment that prohibits taxpayer dollars from funding most abortions and stopped the flow of U.S. funding to overseas organizations that provide abortions.
March for Life is a Celebration of Dobbs and Overturning Roe v. Wade
The reversal of Roe v. Wade was the main goal of the American pro-life movement for five decades but it was not the only objective of the national March for Life. The March for Life is perhaps best known for bringing people together, from all over the country. It is exhilarating to be surrounded by tens of thousands of people who all feel the way we do about the unborn and our need to protect them. It’s hard to describe the power in those numbers. But there’s always been more to the March than that.
Planned Parenthood Kills Millions of Babies in Abortions, It Should be Defunded
Fighting abortion involves going to the places where babies are being aborted and their mothers are being exploited. By being there on the front line of this battlefield, the people of God provide the final appeal to the consciences of these mothers, most of whom are not there because of freedom of choice, but because they feel they have no freedom and no choice. By being there, we offer hope to replace the despair that led them to the killing center in the first place.
Will Democrats Vote for Infanticide Once Again?
U.S. Senate Democrats once again hold the power to decide if babies who survive abortion will receive the same medical care as every other premature baby. The new Senate majority leader, Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., on Jan. 8 he would bring to a vote this month the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which would mandate that lifesaving care for such babies born alive. On Thursday, three anti-abortion senators formally introduced the bill. LifeNews is on TruthSocial. Please follow us here.
Democrats Distorted Morality on Born-Alive Bill Troubling
U.S. Senate Democrats once again hold the power to decide if babies who survive abortion will receive the same medical care as every other premature baby. The new Senate majority leader, Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., on Jan. 8 he would bring to a vote this month the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which would mandate that lifesaving care for such babies born alive.

Frank Pavone: A Spiritual View of the Inauguration
Guest Post by Pro-life Leader Frank Pavone, National Director, Priests for Life And today, once again, a provision of our Constitution that we use every four years comes to the forefront again, as we inaugurate a President. Yet the event, especially this year, is more than a Constitutional transfer of power from one President to another. It is a moment of transition for every American. We have been through a trauma in America these last four years.
Memorial Service Will Mourn 3,000 Babies Killed in Abortions Every Day
With its 2022 decision in an abortion case from Mississippi, Dobbs vs. Jackson Women’s Health, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the worst ruling in its history, Roe v Wade, which legalized abortion throughout all nine months of pregnancy and across our nation. Although Roe was reversed, the damage it caused can never be undone.
A Future for Life: Introducing the Winners of the Priests for Life Pro-Life Essay Contest
Priests for life will introduce the winners of a youth essay contest sponsored by Stand True, the youth outreach of Priests for Life during the 30th annual National Memorial for the Pre-Born and Their Mothers and Fathers on Jan. 24 in Washington, D.C. Those who attend the 30th annual National Memorial for the Pre-Born and Their Mothers and Fathers on Jan.
Some Clergy Sadly Missed the Memo from Moses About Killing
An Emergent Religious Doctrine Making Two Plus Two Equal Five "A Baptist minister, a Presbyterian pastor and a Jewish cantor walked into an abortion business. . . " It sounds like it could be a lead-in to a macabre joke but as dutifully reported by The New York Times, it was decidedly unfunny. These ordained members of the clergy went to a new killing center in Maryland not to protest the murder of the innocent unborn, but to bless it and the staffers who oversee the slaughter.
We Must Keep Telling the Truth: Abortions Dismember and Decapitate Unborn Babies
Although Kamala Harris and the Democrats marked their campaign with a national abortion convention and a “reproductive freedom tour,” abortion ultimately did not turn out to be the kind of priority they hoped it would be for voters. As political polling expert Rich Baris (The People’s Pundit) correctly pointed out before the election, the economy and immigration were much more important to American voters.
Frank Pavone: Are We Ready to Throw Out Our Nation’s Consensus on Abortion?
Guest Post by Pro-life Leader Frank Pavone, National Director, Priests for Life Proposed constitutional amendments are on the ballot in 10 states to eliminate restrictions on abortion and take away protections in place for the youngest children and their mothers. Those advocating for the amendments paint this as safeguarding reproductive freedom.
