Because we are all made in the image of God, we are all equally valuable and deserving of protection. Abortion is not just another social issue. It is a fundamental misunderstanding of what it means to be human under God. Richard John Neuhaus once said, abortion is “the greatest human rights cause of…all times….” He
What is the leading cause of death in the U.S.? Adding data from California to the CDC’s most recent surveillance, the annual U.S. abortion total tops out at 752,000, towering over the three leading causes of death in the U.S. Abortion deaths are 14 percent higher than deaths from Heart disease, 25 percent higher than
Prenatal screening carry as much as a 50% false-positive rate. This is disconcerting, especially when women so often choose to abort based those flawed test results. In a recent USA Today piece, practicing Ob/GYN Dr. Christina Francis opines, “Those are stunningly high margins of error given the stakes.” She goes on to ask the haunting
The incendiary Equality Act is a top priority in the Biden administration. It passed in the House and now faces a split Senate where Vice President Harris could cast the deciding vote.

Planned Parenthood self-identifies as the champion of women’s reproductive health. Their annual revenue waterline now stands at $1.64 billion dollars. Oddly, one analysis shows the abortion business providing 72% fewer women’s health services than it has in the past.

On January 12, 2021, a class action lawsuit was filed by victims of domestic violence and others claiming New York’s 2019 abortion expansion bill, entitled the Reproductive Health Act (RHA), puts “women in danger.” The RHA reduced standards of care for pregnant women seeking abortion while decriminalizing any harm to a preborn baby resulting from
While the number of U.S. births fall, abortions rise. Is there a connection? A recent report from the CDC shows births decreased by 1% in 2019. This represents the fifth straight year of decline. The Total Fertility Rate, the average number of births per woman of childbearing age, is down 1% too. The current fertility
