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.

Capitol Hill Brief — Trump Administration’s Support for Israel
It’s been refreshing to witness the Trump Administration’s unabashed commitment to support Israel. And I’m so grateful I got to thank the president at a dinner. Their latest action involved withdrawing from UNESCO, citing their unquestionable anti-Israel bias. The U.S. owed $550 million to it, and it contributed annually about 70 million, which compromised […]

Scott Lloyd, Director of ORR – champion and advocate for children in his care
