By Kristine Marsh  The liberal media is in love with a Dallas high school student who used her valedictorian speech to wail about a Texas law restricting abortions.

By Dave Andrusko Editor’s note. When we take our daily look back at what appeared a year ago in NRL News, one of the main criteria is whether the story remains particularly relevant today. Pro-abortion tastelessness and jaw-dropping expressions of contempt for unborn children, alas,  remain the order of the day. When I read Katie Yoder’s depressing—but …

By Lindsay Kornick On May 14, Netflix debuted the second volume of its animated series Love, Death + Robots, and it delivered a surprise.

In a March 19 webinar demonstrating that Hollywood is just another powerful propaganda weapon wielded by bloodthirsty lefty activist …

By Karen Townsend The 27th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards was pre-taped and aired on Sunday night on TBS and TNT. The Easter night show delivered a very unappealing message by way of one award recipient’s choice of wardrobe. Actor Jason Sudeikis wore a sweater with My Body My Choice printed on it. Sudeikis currently stars in Apple TV’s Ted …

By Maria V. Gallagher, Legislative Director, Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation A number of times in recent years, I have opened a celebrity biography, only to find within its pages a reference to abortion. Sometimes it is the first time that the abortion has been shared publicly. In her new memoir, The Beauty of Living Twice, Hollywood actress Sharon …
