By Deborah Riffenburgh — In direct response to the recently passed Texas Heartbeat Act, a new bill was proposed in Pennsylvania that would limit the number of children that men could father and mandate forced sterilization. The so-called parody legislation could easily be laughed off as absurd, but closer examination reveals a more disturbing truth.
By Deborah Riffenburgh — People across our nation are being faced with an impossible choice – violate their sincerely held religious beliefs by taking an abortion-derived COVID-19 injection, or lose their livelihoods, their careers, and their opportunity for education. How can we, as Christians, take a principled stand as we navigate COVID-19 vaccine mandates, which are an unprecedented attack on our civil and religious liberties? Here are some practical resources and tools we hope will help.
By Deborah Riffenburgh — The Texas Heartbeat Act has caused chaos in the abortion industry and wild celebration in the pro-life movement. But what exactly is in the law, why did the Supreme Court refuse to obstruct it, and will temporary gains bring long-term protection to pre-born children in Texas?
By Dr. Alan Moy — Mandating an experimental COVID-19 vaccine represents a medically futile, and likely illegal, public-health effort to contain the spread of SARS-CoV-2. It is immoral, and likely illegal, for schools, workplaces, and hospitals to require young and healthy individuals to take an experimental drug that offers no personal benefit, but instead, poses serious health risks. Here’s what you can do to push back against this tide.

By Dr. Alan Moy — It is critical that individuals are informed as to the actual risks and benefits of the COVID-19 vaccines. Unfortunately, the efficacy of the vaccines has been overstated and the hazards, understated. They are essentially security blankets, lending people a sense of comfort, but in reality, providing incomplete and unsatisfactory protection from the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

By Dr. Alan Moy — Despite what our public health authorities assert, the efficacy of Operation Warp Speed COVID-19 vaccines is inferior to that of natural immunity. Yet, the COVID-19 vaccines approved under the FDA’s emergency use authorization are the subject of mandates and unprecedented measures of coercion. These efforts are medically futile, and possibly illegal. Here’s why.

By David Bjornstrom — The U.S. Supreme Court’s viability standard in Roe v Wade and Planned Parenthood v Casey will be tested this fall in the Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization case. The Dobbs case involves a Mississippi law banning most abortions after 15 weeks. While the case does not go far enough, in that it still allows abortions at all, it highlights the absurdity of the Court’s viability standard.
By Deborah Riffenburgh — The CONNECT for Health Act of 2021 proposes expanding the use of telehealth across America. While this will make healthcare more accessible, imprecise language in the legislation may enable assisted suicide remotely, even in states where it’s illegal, putting an already vulnerable population at further risk.
By Deborah Riffenburgh — On June 12, 2021, men from across America will gather together for the first-ever National Men’s March, calling for an end to the government-sanctioned killing of pre-born children made in the image of God.
By Deborah Riffenburgh — In the wake of the COVID-19 health crisis, efforts to legalize assisted suicide have increased across America, and passive euthanasia is on the rise. Dangerous COVID-19 policies have brought thousands of deaths in long-term care facilities. What kind of message does this send our elderly, disabled, and medically vulnerable and those who care for them?
By Sarah Quale — Up to this point, Planned Parenthood has boldly denied its eugenic roots and the racist legacy of its founder, Margaret Sanger. But the current move to “call for a reckoning” of that legacy is yet another strategy to continue it.
By David Bjornstrom — We concede too much in assuming that, if Roe vs. Wade is overturned, the individual states should decide whether or not to outlaw abortion. If unborn babies are “persons,” as modern science shows, the 14th Amendment outlaws abortion, since abortion deprives a class of persons of their life without due process of law and without equal protection. It is time to reclaim the 14th Amendment for the unborn.
By Dr. Charles Lugosi, SJD — Editor’s note: The Canadian Supreme Court has refused to hear a case launched by Mary Wagner, a pro-life activist who was arrested for engaging in an act to save the lives of unborn children at a Toronto abortion facility in 2012. Mary’s goal was for the Court to agree that abortion kills a human being—a fundamental question of national importance. But the Court rejected the opportunity to put an end to the deaths of the unborn.
By Deborah Riffenburgh — The well-intentioned Value Them Both amendment in Kansas (HCR5003) is heading to the primary ballot, and if passed, will amend the Kansas constitution. But many don’t realize that this amendment fails to protect pre-born babies and their mothers and instead, expressly grants the ability to regulate abortion, further enshrining it into law. While HCR5003 greatly misses the mark, there is a solution that would, in fact, “value both”—a personhood amendment.
By Daniel Gump — The documentary Personhood: Policing Pregnant Women in America had many opportunities to unite those of vastly different ideological backgrounds on flaws in the criminal justice system, disparities in treatment among different demographics, and how to better help vulnerable women during their pregnancies. Unfortunately, the film resorted to easily debunked claims, fear-mongering, and outright deception.
By Deborah Riffenburgh — The moment a COVID-19 public health emergency was declared in Virginia, all religious exemptions to vaccines became null and void, forcing thousands to choose between following their conscience and obeying the law. Thankfully, two medical freedom bills have been filed in the state to restore the right to opt out of mandated vaccines and reinstate religious freedom. This fight in Virginia is poised to influence the nation. Citizens across the country must be vigilant.
By Dan Becker — Being pro-life in the 21st century requires us to ask inconvenient questions and to use discernment and courage to consistently apply our Biblical worldview. This is not only true in opposing abortion without exceptions, but also in considering issues of medical ethics, like the COVID-19 vaccines currently in distribution.
