By Gualberto Garcia Jones, Esq. — In an interview with America magazine, Pope Francis stated that Catholic teaching is unclear on personhood of the pre-born child. The truth is, the teaching of the Catholic Church on pre-born Personhood is crystal clear.
By David Bjornstrom, Esq. — What is a person? We need an answer to the question of personhood for any intelligent discussion of abortion, because all human persons have a fundamental right to life.
By Gualberto Garcia Jones, Esq. — Even before the Dobbs decision, state-wide referendums on abortion have always attracted massive amounts of political donations from abortionists, as well as a barrage of pro-abortion unpaid propaganda from the mainstream media. As a result, things almost always turn out badly for the pro-life side. Case in point: The recent defeat of the Value Them Both Amendment in Kansas… It’s time to shift the tide.
By Gualberto Garcia Jones, Esq. — Dobbs v. Jackson overturned Roe and Casey and sent abortion back to the states, but should the right to life be a political question?
By Gualberto Garcia Jones, Esq. — With the fall of Roe v. Wade imminent, it’s time to unite the fractured pro-life movement around its core principle—equal protection, without exception.
By David Bjornstrom, Esq. — It is encouraging to hear that the Supreme Court, in the case of Dobbs v. Jackson’s Women’s Health Organization, may finally overturn Roe v Wade. However, that will not be enough to protect the pre-born, because the Court’s decision just transfers the abortion issue to the states where, in many cases, abortion will be expanded.
By David Bjornstrom, Esq. — Aside from the legal arguments made in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health hearing at the U.S. Supreme Court, three themes emerged that reveal the deep moral corruption of the pro-abortion movement.
By David Bjornstrom — On December 1, the Supreme Court will begin hearing arguments in Dobbs vs. Jackson Women’s Health, which will necessitate a revisiting of some of the Court’s most notorious abortion decisions. The stakes are high, with more than 170 legal briefs already filed by both pro-life and pro-abortion groups. So what exactly is each side arguing in the Dobbs case?
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 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 Daniel Gump — The budding science of embryology and the growing underground abortion industry helped form America’s first state-level criminal abortion laws in the early 1800s. But it was the American Medical Association, an educational campaign, and the Fourteenth Amendment that helped declare the personhood of pre-born children in the laws of 21 states and mark abortion as “a crime against persons.”
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 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.
By Sarah Quale — The pro-life sanctuary city movement in America includes multiple factions using different strategies to achieve the same goal—to protect pre-born children from abortion in our own communities, while exerting the constitutional right to self-governance by defying the unjust ruling of Roe v. Wade. However, a recent ACLU lawsuit against seven sanctuary cities in Texas is exposing the vulnerabilities in Texas’s strategy and showing the effectiveness of an alternative approach.

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?
