By Calvin Freiburger — Because of his efforts to empower communities to nix sexually charged events for kids, Missouri Rep. Ben Baker, who introduced the Parental Oversight of Public Libraries Act, has received death threats. The Parental Oversight of Public Libraries Act is based on model legislation created by the Personhood Alliance.
By Gualberto Garcia Jones, Esq. — Arline Lester, the 91-year-old woman from Long Island, New York, whose son recorded a video of her pleading for her life, died yesterday after being heavily sedated and removed from her ventilator and feeding tube. Her forced euthanasia took place behind a shroud of secrecy and shocking judicial overreach in a state that’s pushing to legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia this year.
By Sarah Quale — Two brothers in New York are battling for the fate of their mother, Arline Lester. One is fighting for her life and the other, her hastened death. New video evidence and a handwritten plea reveal Arline wants to live, but that decision is now in the hands of a judge.
By guest author Sara Buscher, Euthanasia Prevention Coalition USA — Palliative care has become dangerous and deadly in many places. Too many people are abused or “helped” to die, instead of being helped to live well in the time they have left. Right now, the U.S. Senate is acting on a bill that would expand and promote palliative care without the reforms that are needed to improve care and protect patients from the assisted suicide and euthanasia agendas. We have a chance to stop this bill, but we must act now. Senators are voting this Thursday, December 12th!
By guest author Daniel Gump — After frequent and inflammatory rhetoric surrounding fetal heartbeat legislation that claimed women could be prosecuted for abortion, and even miscarriage, it became clear that research into maternal liability was needed. Can a woman actually be prosecuted for aborting her child? What do our current federal and state-level abortion laws say, and what about the courts? The answers might surprise you.
By Gualberto Garcia Jones, Esq. — In the 1850s, Christians in Oberlin, Ohio, were motivated by the fear of God’s just judgment to defy the federal government and refuse to cooperate with the unjust Fugitive Slave Act. Their courageous actions couldn’t be more timely for pro-life Christians, as we witness the crumbling of our country’s moral foundation after multiple decades of judicially-mandated relativism.
By Sarah Quale — U.S. District Judge Myron Thompson’s decision to block Alabama’s abortion law was the last in a series of court injunctions that stopped all state-level first-trimester abortion restrictions passed in the last year. These injunctions were expected as part of a larger pro-life strategy to put an end to Roe. But if that is the goal, why did the Alabama attorney general argue in support of the central holdings of Roe?
By guest author Chris Reilly — Human genetic engineering may become the new “space race,” if Vladimir Putin has his way. But experiments on humans at the embryonic stage have profound implications, not only on society but also on the dignity of the humans who are used and destroyed on a massive scale.
By guest author Deborah Stilt — The movement to legalize prostitution is rapidly growing and right now, the Washington, DC, City Council is considering such a proposal. This movement is also using public institutions to glamorize “sex work” and other immoral lifestyles to our youth and separate prostitution from sex trafficking. Just like abortion, it’s sold to women and girls as a ticket to freedom and power, and a harmful, corrupted morality disguised as human rights.
By Sarah Quale — On October 1, 2019, the Board of Aldermen of Pearl, Mississippi, adopted a resolution to become a “safe city for pre-born children”—the first phase of the Personhood Alliance’s Sanctuaries for Life initiative. Two weeks later, on October 15th, Pearl City Hall was packed to capacity with supporters who came to thank local officials and rally together to begin the work of Phase 2.
By guest author Deborah Stilt — California Governor Gavin Newsom just signed SB24 into law, which mandates that public college campuses provide the abortion pill to students to “remove barriers to reproductive health.” Perhaps it’s easy for us in the pro-life movement to pass this off as just one more indicator that California has lost its collective mind. But there’s more to it—so very much more.
By Sarah Quale — Now that the celebrations surrounding the latest Guttmacher abortion report have settled down, it’s time to look past the rhetoric on both sides and uncover what’s really going on. May this discovery be a wake-up call for you and I to begin to proactively address the realities on the ground.
By guest blogger Jay Rogers — Dr. Patricia McEwen’s life legacy is profound. She was a sidewalk counselor, a pro-life missionary to many nations, an advocate for Christian refugees, the co-founder of Personhood Florida, and a tireless, sacrificial witness for the dignity of every human being, born and pre-born. Pat passed away after a decade-long cancer battle Thursday, September 12th in Africa, where her heart was.
By Sarah Quale — Personhood is a legal strategy, a moral philosophy, and a cultural movement that’s rooted in both faith and reason. Personhood is our only consistent defense against all direct attacks on human life and human dignity that have happened, are happening, and will happen in the future. So what are those attacks, specifically? What does personhood look like on the ground? Is it practical, and does it have any chance of actually advancing in America?
By Gualberto Garcia Jones, Esq. — Over 100,000 Americans have already cancelled their Netflix subscriptions over the streaming giant’s threatened boycott of Georgia’s economy after the passage of the heartbeat law. But new connections between Hollywood and government, and the Obamas in particular, are revealing a much bigger and much darker agenda at play.
