Donald J. Trump — Defender of Liberty
Washington, D.C. — Today, the Trump Administration has finally ended the Obamacare contraceptive mandate’s unconstitutional suppression of religious liberty. Penny Nance, CEO and President of Concerned Women for America (CWA), had this to say: “One of my fondest memories of working with President Trump so far is sitting in the Rose Garden as he stood strongly for religious liberty and asked […]

Capitol Hill Brief — The Power of Unity
A couple of weeks ago, I had the privilege of dining with the president at the White House, alongside a small group of conservative leaders. It was a great opportunity to make your voice heard at the highest levels of government. You can rest assured I spoke to him about all our concerns and […]

Planned Parenthood hooks up with OkCupid. Guess what this cynical partnership is really about?
It’s about time that Planned Parenthood got involved in the dating market. They have already reaped the benefits of profiting off of the sex toy industry, the genitalia-designed candy industry, and, of course, they make boatloads of money every year as the abortion industry’s leading provider. They have been missing out for years by not […]
Capitol Hill Brief — The Value of Life
Friends, hear me loud and clear. Every child (every person) has intrinsic value as created in the image of GOD. Can you stop and consider that? Every person you meet stands as a monument to Almighty GOD. How can we disregard any, because of race or creed or nationality or, as we’ve highlighted this […]

Capitol Hill Brief — A Worldwide Problem
All week, we’ve been highlighting the heartbreaking news that close to 100 percent of babies diagnosed with Down syndrome in Iceland are aborted. But this tragedy is not just a problem for Iceland. It’s a worldwide issue, as the report acknowledges: “Other countries aren’t lagging too far behind in Down syndrome termination rates. According […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Aborted Under Suspicion of Down Syndrome
Listen to this. The CBS News report we’ve been highlighting this week — which lauded the fact that Iceland was close to eradicating Down syndrome by aborting most babies that could potentially have it, acknowledge that “Many people born with Down syndrome can live full and healthy lives …” and that “The screening test […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Parental Screening Tests
CBS News recently lauded Iceland for being close to eradicating Down syndrome. Only the truth is they are “eradicating it” by aborting Down syndrome babies! Here is how the news story started: “With the rise of prenatal screening tests across Europe and the United States, the number of babies born with Down syndrome has significantly decreased, […]
Capitol Hill Brief — CBS News’ Warped View of Life
My heart broke as I read a despicable CBS News clip last week, highlighting (almost cheering) that Iceland is “close to eradicating Down syndrome.” You and I would cheer too, had they found a cure. But the total opposite is true. Iceland is not eradicating Down syndrome, as the horrid report says; they’re exterminating […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness
All week I have been warning you about the dangers of socialized medicine with its devaluing of human life. We saw it firsthand in the case of baby Charlie Gard and his parents, who were prevented from doing everything in their power to save their son’s life. It would have been futile in the […]
Capitol Hill Brief — On to Socialized Medicine?
Friends, I told you yesterday about the Independent Payment Advisory Board, or IPAB. This is a group made up of 15 bureaucrats that will get to make decisions about the care needed by some of the sickest and highest-risk patients in our families. As then-President Obama envisioned it, it would even expand to the […]
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 […]
