Capitol Hill Brief — IPAB?

  In the U.S., we still have the relative freedom to pursue alternative treatments and research cures, unlike the case of Charlie Gard that we have been talking about this week. But we are in danger of falling down the path of socialized medicine in a very tangible way. Have you ever heard of ObamaCare’s […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Persist in the Fight for Life

    I have been telling you about our Persistent Summer campaign, and today, I want to explore an important tenet of this endeavor: the fight for life. The Founding Fathers declared in the Declaration of Independence that all mankind have an inalienable right to life, yet every year, thousands of innocent babies lose their […]

Charlie Gard: Why his struggle may soon be ours

Charlie Gard is an innocent 11-month-old who was born with a rare genetic disease that is costly to treat. Because of that, he will now be allowed to die. Although he lives in the U.K., Charlie’s case is not irrelevant to Americans. While frustrating and difficult, this is the reality of big government and socialized […]

We are Charlie

This morning, at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., leaders of the pro-life community gathered to offer their prayers and support for Chris, Connie, and Charlie Gard of England.

Planned Parenthood Doesn’t Need Our Money

Planned Parenthood’s annual budget is a massive $1.5 billion. You provide, through your tax dollars, 41% of that.  Is this necessary? The numbers are clear, and the answer is a resounding, “No.” To understand the financial situation of Planned Parenthood, it is helpful to examine its past two annual reports. These reports offer insight on […]

Repealing ObamaCare and the Future of Women’s Health Care

A repeal of ObamaCare and the subsequent defunding of Planned Parenthood does not mean the end of easy access to women’s health centers. However, the media is still trying to villainize the Republicans’ attempt to fix the collapsing ObamaCare experiment. The most recent effort was a CNN article discussing the story of a woman, Ariana Gonzalez, who […]

The Radical Normality of the Pro-Life View

The world is shocked by the European Court of Human Rights decision to remove 10-month-old Charlie Gard from life support against the wishes of his parents. After his doctors said there was nothing more they could do for him, Chris Gard and Connie Yates, Charlie’s parents, raised 1.6 million dollars to move Charlie from London […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Religion and Abortion

  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 — Planned Parenthood Services

  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 — Every Beating Heart

  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, […]

Trump Set to End Ridiculous War Against Nuns

God bless President Donald J. Trump. As reported by several news outlets, the Trump Administration is set to finally put an end to part of the repugnant ObamaCare contraception mandate which sought to force the Little Sisters of the Poor (LSP) to violate their religious convictions. One of the most bizarre things about the Obama Administration’s ObamaCare […]

Penny Nance, CEO and President of Concerned Women for America, issued the following statement in response: “In the midst of a desperate fight to prove their relevance and fitness for federal funding, Planned Parenthood quietly released their latest annual report to […]

If I Were Kathy’s Friend

If I were Kathy Griffin’s friend, I’d want to be by her side now. It must be tough. Most people by now have seen the horrible picture and video. It was bad. Really, bad. She has apologized. But it won’t be easy. I hope she has some good friends by her side at this moment. […]
