Funding for Select Investigative Panel Continues

The House recently voted 234-181 to continue funding the Select Investigative Panel on Infant Lives, a wonderful victory for those who wish to expose the corrupt industry of abortion and enforce current law stating that aborted baby parts should not be sold for profit. The panel’s work has already revealed potential violations of this law […]

“Judge” Kasich Vetoes Heartbeat Bill

Washington, D.C. — Today, Gov. Kasich vetoed the “Heartbeat Bill” in Ohio, which would have outlawed abortion after an unborn baby’s heartbeat could be detected, usually around 6 weeks of pregnancy.  This would have been the most pro-life law in the nation.  The legislature delivered to his desk the Heartbeat bill along with a 20 week […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Stop Targeting Minorities

  Minority women do need access to quality health care.  But abortion is not health care.  And that is Planned Parenthood’s focus. Annual abortions to African-Americans and Hispanics account for 55.4% of all abortions reported by race.  That number is very troubling considering the fact that black and Hispanic women comprise only 29% of the […]

HHS Wants to Force States to Fund Planned Parenthood

In September, the Health and Human Services Department released a report detailing their argument for a new rule saying that states can’t deny Title X funding to “focused reproductive health providers” — which is code for Planned Parenthood.  Title X was a provision of the Public Health Service Act, originally enacted in 1980 and dedicated […]

The Hyde Amendment

As the Hyde amendment turns 40, preserving and making permanent the Hyde Amendment is one of the greatest tasks of the pro-life movement.  It is not an exaggeration to say that Hyde is the only thing standing between abortion and full federal funding.  If Hyde does not stand, our taxpayer money goes directly to funding […]

Abortion.

Legislative Efforts to Reduce the Number of Abortions

In 1973 Roe v. Wade and Doe v.

Miss Richards was the only one questioned with Republicans […]

Valuing Life in the Special Needs Community

Every life is a gift. Each of us is fearfully and wonderfully made. If our society advocates for equality and opportunity for all, we must ensure the right to life, especially for those who cannot speak up for themselves.
