Pro-Life

By  Raimundo Rojas, LifeNews – One of the greatest spectacles of our times is upon us. The thrill we have all had to wait for four years to relive: The World Cup is on. And I can’t wait to get home this week to live it out with my grandkids for the next month…. I grew up of Catalan descent, which should have made my soccer loyalties simple. It did not. For years, I cheered for Italy because I loved the beauty, the chaotic discipline, and drama of their national program. I cheered them all the way to their World Cup win in 2006.

By Cassy Cooke, Zeale News – A new undercover investigation and report from Live Action expose Planned Parenthood and its troubling motives surrounding “gender affirming care.”… Previous Live Action investigations found that Planned Parenthood is willing to dispense cross-sex hormones to minors without parental knowledge or consent, and without a mental health evaluation first. … A new undercover investigation featuring detransitioner Chloe Cole found that, while Planned Parenthood is all too happy to help children with so-called “gender affirming care,” it offers no help for those that regret it and wish to ‘detransition’. …

By Raimundo Rojas, LifeNews – A young woman named Ashley has taken to Facebook with a now-viral set of videos to describe a painful and frightening situation. She says she is pregnant, but that her baby has died. She says she has had multiple scans. She says the baby has measured around five weeks and six days, with little or no change, while she is nearly eight weeks along. She also says she has suffered several miscarriages already.

By  Jordan Boyd, The Federalist – A 6-month-old baby girl conceived via in vitro fertilization and accidentally implanted in the wrong womb will be raised by the woman who birthed her instead of the biological parents who commissioned her creation, a “mutually devised custody agreement” in Florida determined this week… Score and Mills, a white couple who used their own sperm and eggs to commission embryos in 2020, were shocked in December 2025 when Score birthed a baby girl who was “100 percent South Asian.”

By Greg Piper, Just the News – Major pro-life candidate bankroller demands Todd Blanche “immediately” settle Louisiana challenge to mifepristone mail-order regulation, used by abusive partners, parents to acquire pills and secretly or coercively induce abortion… When the Supreme Court stopped an appeals court from blocking a federal rule allowing mail-order prescriptions of mifepristone while a legal challenge continues against the abortion pill’s prescribing conditions, the high court extended the opportunity for abusive partners and parents to acquire the pill and secretly or coercively give it to women with wanted pregnancies.

By Michael New, LifeNews – A growing body of survey data which finds that pro-life sentiment has increased since the Dobbs leak… Today, Gallup released the results of its annual poll on sanctity of life issues. Pollsters surveyed over 1,000 adults in May… The poll found that 42 percent of respondents identify as “pro-life.” That is a one percentage point decrease from last year’s poll. The poll also found that a plurality of Americans, 49 percent, believe that abortion should be either “illegal in all circumstances” or “legal in only a few circumstances.” …

By Cassy Cooke, Live Action – A new study from the Charlotte Lozier Institute has found that women are not prepared for, or properly informed about, complications from mifepristone (the abortion pill)… Key Takeaways: The study found that women wanted more information on complications than they were given during the informed consent process… Most women cited bleeding, pain, and impact on mental and emotional health as complications for which they were unprepared… multiple recent studies (found) that the abortion pill is more dangerous or painful than women are led to believe. …

By Michael New, LifeNews – This month, the #WeCount project by the Society of Family Planning released final abortion estimates for calendar year 2025. Unfortunately, the news is not particularly good for pro-lifers… The Society of Family Planning estimates that 1,126,760 abortions took place in calendar year 2025. This represents a 1.6 percent increase from 2024. Overall, the Society of Family Planning numbers are broadly consistent with the abortion estimates that have been released by the Guttmacher Institute. …

By Fr. Shenan J. Boquet, Human Life International – A few weeks ago, YouTube “influencers” Jesse Ridgway and his wife Ashley announced to their four million subscribers that they were expecting their first child, due in the fall. They filmed a gender reveal… Jesse had told his audience that he was ready for whatever came. “I signed on to be a parent, come what may”… Then the prenatal screening came back with markers for Trisomy 21, i.e. Down syndrome. An amniocentesis confirmed the diagnosis. Jesse filmed that moment, too. As Ashley cried, he looked into the camera and told his followers they had discussed “terminating the pregnancy.”

By S.A. McCarthy, LifeNews – Republicans are calling on federal authorities to impose stringent regulations on the abortion drug mifepristone, citing the dangers posed by the drug’s largely unregulated use to Americans’ drinking water. A coalition of 15 red state attorneys general is urging the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to add mifepristone to the agency’s Contaminant Candidate List, which would likely trigger safety studies ….

By Elise Winland, Zeale News – In a shocking announcement that included reports of serial child abuse, the DHS said June 11 that federal agencies have located more than 146,000 of the unaccompanied migrant children who had gone unaccounted for after entering the U.S. during the Biden administration… DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin, speaking at a DOJ press conference alongside Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, said nearly 300,000 children of the estimated 450,000 missing migrant children who went missing under the Biden administration are still unaccounted for.

By Katie Breckenridge, The Federalist – The social media world has been blowing up with discussions about YouTuber Jesse Ridgway and his wife Ashley’s decision to terminate the life of their precious preborn baby, simply because he or she may have had Down Syndrome.

By Breccan F. Thies, The Federalist – The United States has shut down multiple birth tourism networks across Europe and Africa, the State Department announced Wednesday, stating, “No foreigner is permitted to obtain a visitor visa for the primary purpose of acquiring U.S. citizenship for a child by giving birth in the U.S.”… According to the State Department, the networks have been trying to ship hundreds of pregnant foreign nationals into the United States homeland so they can give birth there and gain citizenship for the child.

By Hannah Bates, The Federalist – In recent months, there has been no shortage of horror stories illustrating just how dangerous the surrogacy industry is for children. From same-sex couples with children charged with rape and sexual abuse to Chinese billionaires mail-ordering tiny U.S. citizens, the tragedies stack up as surrogacy use proliferates. Now a new pair of bills seeks to close the loopholes that enable the surrogacy industry and its abuse of both children and immigration laws.

By Caroline Petersen, The American Spectator – Clearly, this technology warrants a word of caution. Theoretically, it could be used to alter intelligence, appearance, height, or athletic ability. This goes beyond fixing a genetic abnormality. This picking and choosing is not a distant dystopia but is already taking root in IVF practices, where couples can filter through different embryos and pick their “ideal” child.

By Samantha Stephenson, Public Discourse – Is it ethical to alter the genetic makeup of children? Should we create children with three parents? What about creating sperm from female stem cells to the end of creating a child with two biological mothers? Is it ethical to incubate a growing baby in an artificial womb? Could a womb like that end the perceived need for abortion?… These questions might seem like science fiction, and indeed they were when Aldous Huxley, an agnostic, published his dystopian novel Brave New World nearly one hundred years ago. Huxley wove a fictitious world in which progeny were designed and grown in laboratories ….

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews – A new report indicates the FDA will finally launch a proper investigation of the dangerous abortion pill, which has killed multiple women, injured hundreds of thousands and killed millions of babies.

By Michael Alfonso, The Federalist – The tragedy is not Valentina’s life with Down syndrome; the tragedy would have been never letting her live it… The internet got a glimpse of something ancient and ugly creeping back into modern life this week. YouTuber Jesse Ridgway and his wife, Ashley, announced on social media that they had aborted their unborn child after learning the baby might have Down syndrome.

By Linda Pieper, Catholic Exchange – “John Paul II taught that the body has a ‘spousal meaning.’ It is made to express love as a free, total, faithful, and fruitful gift.”… I graduated from high school in May of 1968. With my whole adult life ahead of me and college on the horizon, I wasn’t paying much attention to what was happening in the Church or in Rome. The world around me was in turmoil—the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy, the Vietnam War, and its protests, the Civil Rights movement, and the unfolding of the sexual revolution.

By Chuck Donovan, LifeNews – A new report from the Guttmacher Institute from its Monthly Abortion Provision Study estimates a total of 99,470 abortions for January 2026. The estimate follows a Guttmacher calculation of 1,126,470 abortions for all of 2025, or an average of 93,872 abortions per month for that year. The Guttmacher figures are indeed estimates, given the number of abortions taking place at home via the mail, with limited data regarding what proportion of pills mailed are actually consumed by the recipient… However imprecise the data are, they are disturbing numbers that should trouble the conscience of a nation.

The report also noted that 10 companies are violating federal law by selling “unapproved and misbranded abortion drugs” while eight online-only vendors are violating the federal Comstock Act and state abortion bans by shipping the drugs into pro-life states. …

By Randall O’Bannon, Ph.D., LifeNews – As you see in the accompanying chart that we have linked to, we have made substantial progress in reducing the number of abortions and lowering the abortion rate over the past thirty years. At the same time, though, as long as abortion is legal, each year we will keep adding to the total of lives lost to America’s greatest holocaust.
