By Carol Tobias, President           We in the right-to-life movement have much to be thankful for this year. We have avoided the election of Hillary Clinton whose major objective would have been not merely to solidify the Culture of Death, but to expand it using your tax dollars. Instead, our nation chose …

By Dave Andrusko   At the same time the media onslaught against President-elect Donald Trump continues to pick up speed and some supporters of Hillary Clinton want the campaign to challenge the election results in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, the American public is clearly signaling that it is time to move ahead. A CNN poll …

By Dave Andrusko   On Tuesday we reposted a column by Tim Graham which outlined the public’s heading toward zero confidence in the press. Barely one in five– 22%–give the press a grade of “A” or “B,” while almost 4 in ten–38%–give the press an “F.” I also wrote yesterday about a brilliantly fair-minded analysis …

By Nancy Valko Editor’s note. This important request appears on Nancy’s blog. Her specific rebuttals of portions of the nine-page-long position can be found at nancyvalko.com/2016/11/23/high-priority-public-comments-needed-on-anas-new-draft-position-paper-on-denying-food-and-water.  Although the American Nurses Association (ANA) claims it represents the over 3 million US nurses, only a tiny fraction of nurses actually belong. ANA does not give out the …

By Joleigh Little, Teens for Life and Region Coordinator, Wisconsin Right to Life Editor’s note. November is National Adoption Month. Today we continue our series of new and reposted stories about this wonderfully life-affirming option.   It is no small coincidence, in my mind, that whoever created National Adoption Month chose November to be that month, …

By Dave Andrusko Over the years I have written many times about the “old days”–back in the 1980s–and the  primitive black and white ultrasounds whose fuzziness was exceeded only by the parents’ determination to “see” arms and legs amidst a fog of blurriness. Now their successors–3-D and 4-D color ultrasounds–are about to be themselves replaced. …

by Béatrice Fedor   Editor’s note. This appeared at 400 words for women. Let’s face it, no one truly desires to have their children scraped out of their wombs. Women rationalize abortion and resort to it because their pregnancies are met with anger, violence or indifference. Women need to be supported, not aborted! There are pregnancy …

WASHINGTON – The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention today released its annual “Abortion Surveillance Report,” for 2013 and found the number of abortions had decreased by 5% from 2012. Relying on reports from 47 state health departments, the CDC reported 664,435 abortions for 2013. The CDC numbers  provide a snapshot into the continuing …

By Dave Andrusko I was wondering how long it would take, following the victory of pro-life President-elect Donald Trump, for some pollster to tell us (as the Quinnipiac University Poll does today), “Despite Donald Trump’s victory, American voters are at odds with the president-elect on several key issues, agreeing with the U.S. Supreme Court Roe …

WASHINGTON – The National Right to Life Committee, the federation of 50 state right-to-life affiliates and more than 3,000 local chapters, today praised President-elect Donald Trump’s selection of Michigan pro-life activist and philanthropist Betsy DeVos to serve as education secretary in his cabinet. “President-Elect Trump’s selection of Betsy DeVos to serve as education secretary continues to …

By Dave Andrusko This will be a short post, inspired (if that’s the right word) by still another example of Planned Parenthood’s stupendous blend of insensitivity and desire (to borrow a term making the rounds) to be “normalized.” At a tweet found here, you see this photo of a  bountiful Thanksgiving  Day table, filled with …

By Dave Andrusko   I readily confess that I put more emphasis on the coverage of the Washington Post because it is my hometown newspaper  but also because the newspaper still has enormous clout on Capitol Hill and influence in shaping political narratives, including the recent presidential election. In a newspaper whose columnists compete for …
