By Sarah Quale — Both Pfizer and Moderna have announced major milestones in the race to get a COVID-19 vaccine candidate to market. Almost all media outlets and pro-life groups are claiming both vaccines are ethical, even though aborted fetal cells were used to test them. This is wrong, and here’s why it matters.
By Deborah Stilt — Despite opposition from his own party, Christopher Kurka, founding board member of the Personhood Alliance and former executive director of Personhood Alliance affiliate Alaska Right to Life, was elected to the Alaska House of Representatives. Kurka will fight to end abortion funding and pass a Life at Conception Act to advance no exceptions, no compromise personhood principles.
By Deborah Stilt — Operation Warp Speed, the aptly named fast-track program to bring a COVID-19 vaccine to market in the US, promises to turn the tide in the devastation brought on by the coronavirus. But 6 of the 8 current vaccine candidates are unethical, either because they were produced using aborted fetal cells, are being tested using aborted fetal cells, or both. It’s time for the pro-life movement to stand in unity to demand an end to the abhorrent practice of commodifying pre-born human beings.
By Les Riley — The Senate confirmation hearings for Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s appointment to the US Supreme Court are in full swing. Already, she is being attacked as a threat to so-called abortion rights and “a danger to women who desperately want children”—a reference to her purported views on IVF. But is she a threat to infertile couples? And is the personhood movement an even bigger one?
By Sarah Quale — On Monday, October 5th, 2020, the Davie County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to become the second Safe County for pre-born children in the nation, as part of the Personhood Alliance’s Safe Cities and Counties initiative. Major growth in this initiative is expected, not only in North Carolina, but across the country, as pro-life Christians decide not to wait for judges and politicians to fix our moral crises.
By Personhood Alliance leadership — With President Trump’s nomination of Amy Coney Barrett, the jury is still out on whether she would help overturn Roe v. Wade. But we believe the bigger questions are: What would happen next, and why are we still waiting?
By Deborah Stilt — Many sexual assault survivors lack basic support for themselves, their children, and their healing. Jennifer Christie and her husband Jeff, founders of Love Louder, are personally familiar with the recovery process – and that it’s “okay to not be okay.” Love Louder is set to officially launch in October; it’s mission to offer help, hope, and support to women after sexual assault and women who conceive after sexual assault, sharing Godly love to encourage life-affirming choices.
By AJ Dominque III — Proponents of the “Defund the Police” movement spreading in Democrat-run cities across the country have added a new component to their mission to “reimagine policing”—diverting funds from police departments to help fund abortion-related costs.
By Sarah Quale — Abortion is never directly addressed in the Old Testament. Neither is the word abortion specifically mentioned in the New Testament. Many argue that, because the Bible is “silent” on abortion, that means it’s permissible, even worthy of praise. But scripture speaks very clearly on the sanctity of human life, and the early Church was bold in its defense of it. So how are we faring today?
By Tim Overlin — Hy-Vee is a popular, family-friendly chain of supermarkets based in Iowa and located throughout the Midwest. Raygun, also based in Iowa, is a clothier known for its edgy t-shirts that ridicule conservative ideas. Raygun also outwardly supports Planned Parenthood and directly funds abortions through the Iowa Abortion Access Fund. Now, Hy-Vee has partnered with Raygun to display its clothing in the kids’ department.
By AJ Dominque III — Missouri Senator Josh Hawley has set the bar that should be adopted for all Supreme Court justice nominees moving forward, and for all strategies to end legalized abortion at the federal, state, and local levels.
By Deborah Stilt — Under the guise of boosting school immunization rates, Colorado recently passed the Colorado Healthy Communities Act (SB20-163), which redefines vaccine exemptions and imposes new requirements on parents who choose not to vaccinate. As other states move in this direction, and as a COVID-19 vaccine nears, we must ask: How far can government mandate compliance without violating parents’ Constitutional rights? And what lies in store if citizens neglect to stand up for their rights?
By Sarah Quale — The Personhood Alliance petitioned Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody to investigate the abortion facility at the heart of a disturbing case in Broward County in 2019, which involved Christopher Johnson and a 15-year-old victim whose assaults he allegedly recorded and uploaded to Pornhub and other similar sites. As a direct result of our petition and initial report, the investigation into the abortion facility’s role in this case is now moving forward.
By Matt Sande — The future of abortion jurisprudence in America is looking bleak for the foreseeable future. The pro-life strategy of placing statutory regulations on the abortion industry in hopes of prompting a Roe reversal appears to have reached its limit.
By Sarah Quale — As if there wasn’t enough injustice to go around right now, the US Supreme Court just handed conservatives another loss, as it struck down Louisiana’s hospital admitting privileges law in June Medical Services, LLC v. Russo. But as leaders in the pro-life movement express their anger and frustration at the court’s decision today, those of us on the ground need to stop and consider what we sought from this decision in the first place and whether the path that we’re on is a viable one.
