Is the Alabama abortion ban a personhood law?
By Gualberto Garcia Jones, Esq., — The mainstream media and the Marxist left (please excuse the redundancy) are in a frenzy as one American state after another is rejecting one of the most fundamental sacraments of their political ideology: The “right” to kill innocent pre-born children through abortion-on-demand. In the coverage surrounding the passage of the most recent bills—Ohio, Kentucky, Georgia, and Alabama—the word personhood is being tossed around quite a bit by both friend and foe. So, do these bills secure equal protection under the law for all pre-born humans?
A house divided
By Gualberto Garcia Jones, Esq.,— Those who support abortion are increasingly more willing to believe a Hollywood-fiction portrayal of things that will never come to be, instead of the reality and brutality of abortion. This substitution of intellectual honesty with uncritical party loyalty bodes badly for America. For as President Lincoln stated, quoting the Bible, a house divided cannot stand.
Should anti-infanticide bills exempt the parents?

Yes, even CNN can help us get to the “heart” of the matter
By Gualberto Garcia Jones, Esq.,— A heated debate took place yesterday on CNN between Rick Santorum and Chris Cuomo that exemplifies why personhood is at the heart of the battle to end abortion. The topic of conversation for the segment was supposed to be the passage of yet another heartbeat law, but it quickly spiraled into a discussion of judicial supremacy, the rule of law, and the personhood of the pre-born child.
Can we actually make abortion unthinkable?
Originally published as part of The Way Forward series on the Educe blog, March 28, 2019, by Sarah Quale — What would it look like today if we became the fearless, cultural revolutionaries our Christian forefathers and mothers were?

Trump administration defunds abortion way beyond Mexico City policy
By Gualberto Garcia Jones, Esq.,—On Tuesday, March 26th, the Trump administration threw down the gauntlet on George Soros and the globalist abortion lobby when it announced that it would expand the Mexico City policy and start to implement the Siljander Amendment. This Amendment was put in place in 1981 to ensure no U.S. foreign aid would be used to lobby for abortion, but it was never implemented…until now.
The Georgia heartbeat bill is morally flawed and should not be supported
By Gualberto Garcia Jones, Esq.— There is a false premise at the heart of the argument for morally compromised legislation. It is simply not true that rejecting the exceptions for the “difficult” cases means that we do nothing. Those of us who reject exception-laden legislation are often described as cutting off our nose to spite our face, tilting at windmills, making the perfect the enemy of the possible, etc. However, legislative agendas are never a binary choices. We don’t have to choose between cooperating with evil and our ultimate goal of the complete abolition of abortion.

Abortion is never necessary to save the life or health of the mother
By Sarah Quale, president of Personhood Alliance Education—In their zeal to protect “abortion access,” Democrats inadvertently forced a change in our national conversation that has cast a very unfavorable light on their position. Not only do these legislative efforts support infanticide, they expose a commonly misunderstood exception for abortion that we now have the opportunity to completely and unequivocally dismantle—the “life and health of the mother” argument…
