Capitol Hill Brief — Disparate Foundings

  The founding of Planned Parenthood vs. Community Health Centers couldn’t be more different. Planned Parenthood was founded under the philosophy that the only way to help the poor was to stop them from reproducing.  It’s this offensive attitude that lead to Planned Parenthood becoming the largest abortion provider in America. By contrast, Community Health […]

Israel and the Embassy Move: the Administration Heard Your Voice

Capitol Hill Brief — Abortion and Religion

  I have some hard news.  Thirty-seven percent of women obtaining abortions identified as evangelical or Catholic. Though self-identification may be a poor form of measuring religious engagements, these findings show that women getting an abortion are willing to be thought of as religious, but are still willing to get an abortion. This is a […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Women Won’t Lose

  What does Planned Parenthood actually do? Mammograms? Nope. What about prenatal care? Actually, only 8% of their clinics do that. They boast about GYN exams and STD testing, but those are available through the more than 11,000 community health centers in America. In fact Planned Parenthood only does about 1% of the nation’s pap […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Struggling for Life

  Listen carefully to what this Planned Parenthood official says they do with an unborn child that is born as a result of a botched abortion: [Audio Clip] Florida State Rep. Jim Boyd: It’s just really hard for me to even ask you this question, because I’m almost in disbelief. If a baby is born […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Every Heart Beating

  I remember hearing the heartbeat of my own children for the first time. [Heartbeat audio] Did you know that we can detect a child’s heartbeat beginning at 21 days? And can be heard by monitor at 8-10 weeks!   At 7-12 weeks old, an unborn baby has brain waves and developing features like a nose, […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Broad Support

  The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act should not be a left or right issue. Even many pro-choice people support a 20-week ban on abortion. Recent polls by Quinnipiac, National Journal, Huffington Post, NBC News/Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post/ABC News all revealed: A majority of Americans support limiting abortion after 20-weeks’ gestation. Sixty percent of women think abortion after that […]

Justice Department Investigates Planned Parenthood Over Sale of Fetal Tissue

Washington, D.C. — Last night it was announced that the Department of Justice has launched an official investigation of Planned Parenthood’s practices and sale of fetal tissue.

Capitol Hill Brief — Bad Company

  According to medical experts, a baby’s pain system at 20-weeks’ gestation is fully developed; the baby’s higher-level, pain-modifying systems have barely begun to develop, leaving them to feel excruciating pain. That is big reason why the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act is so desperately needed.  What we have in our country is nothing short of a humanitarian crisis. […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Pain-Capable

  The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act exposes the left for their radicalism on abortion.  The legislation only deals with the unborn child at 20 weeks — that’s five months! I told you yesterday that at five months, a baby has fingernails, her own unique fingerprints, eyebrows, and eyelashes. But did you know that there […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Boy, Girl, or Statistic?

  The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act is one of the most crucial pieces of pro-life legislation since the passage of the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act.  This legislation not only protects babies who are five months in the womb and can feel excruciating pain, but also protects women who are at an increasingly greater risk […]

  The scars of abortion were clearly felt at our recent North Dakota 100 No More Rally where we heard the testimony of one post-abortive woman named Ruth: [Audio Clip] Ruth Ruch:  “I desperately wanted to undo what I had done.
