Across the nation, pregnancy resource centers are under fire. Pro-abortion radicals are increasingly vandalizing these safe havens for women experiencing unplanned pregnancies, smashing their windows, spray-painting vulgarities on their walls, and even firebombing them. The most recent target of this senseless violence and vandalism by pro-abortion extremists was the Blue Ridge Pregnancy Center in Lynchburg,…
Roe v. Wade is history. After nearly 50 years and 63 million lives lost, the Supreme Court has ruled that there’s no constitutional right to abortion. But now, the true work of the pro-life movement is beginning. It’s now up to the American people and their elected state leaders whether or not they will be…
For nearly 50 years, pro-life advocates have worked tirelessly to overturn the Supreme Court’s 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade. Now, with its decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the Supreme Court has overturned Roe and its related 1992 ruling in Planned Parenthood v. Casey. This is one of the most significant advances…
Pro-life advocates have called for the overturning of Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that legalized abortion nationwide, for nearly five decades and are looking forward optimistically to the imminent Supreme Court ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, a case that could finally overrule Roe. Between now and the court’s ruling, expected by the…
Even before a leaked draft opinion indicated that the Supreme Court might overrule its 1973 Roe v. Wade decision creating a right to abortion, a growing number of liberal prosecutors throughout the country appeared determined to protect abortion anyway. Their strategy? Refusing to do their job. Attorneys general in nearly a dozen states and the…
The Washington Stand has found that there have been at least 41 separate incidents of violent attacks against churches, pro-life organizations, and pro-life property across the country since the May 2 leak of a draft Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization that indicated the overturning of Roe v. Wade. These attacks include arson,…
When states are red, but cities are blue, abortion battles begin anew. Fearful that the Supreme Court will overturn Roe v. Wade and send abortion policy back to the states, some pro-abortion officials in some progressive cities are preparing to draw it down to the local level. For instance, Austin, Texas, City Council member Chito…
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has developed a habit of invoking her Catholic faith—and often describing herself as a devout Catholic—whenever she is called upon to discuss her support for the deliberate killing of unborn children. On Jan. 22, 2015, a reporter for CNSNews.com, where I am the editor, asked Pelosi about the humanity of a…
Priscilla Hurley was first exposed to abortion while she was still in her mother's womb. She survived an abortion when her mother was four months pregnant.

Reports surfaced last week that Justice Samuel Alito’s draft majority opinion that was leaked overturning Roe v. Wade is still the only one circulated inside the Supreme Court, giving great hope to pro-life advocates around the country. The action by states to advance pro-life legislation only further shows the claim that “Roe is settled law”…
Following the leaked draft decision from the Supreme Court suggesting Roe v. Wade could soon be overturned, pro-abortion activists have become increasingly aggressive as they protest.

In December, I returned home to Florida from Washington, D.C., after watching the oral arguments in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. The Supreme Court’s upcoming decision in that case, especially in light of the recent leaked draft opinion, is likely to significantly undermine or even completely overturn Roe v. Wade in June. Only days…
OB-GYNs, as do all other physicians, vow to protect and preserve life. Abortion, Dr. Christina Francis says, violates this promise. “Our medical ethics is based on the Hippocratic oath, which expressly forbids abortion because it recognized the fact that killing has no place in the practice of medicine,” said Francis, a board-certified OB-GYN and…

If Roe v. Wade in fact is overturned, ending abortion on demand, what happens next? Is the pro-life movement ready to meet the needs of mothers and families facing unplanned pregnancies? Roland Warren, president and CEO of the pro-life organization Care Net, says that although pregnancy centers play a role in helping women who have…

The city of Alexandria, Virginia, has canceled its planned commemoration of “National Day of Appreciation for Abortion Providers” on March 10, after city leaders received considerable objections from pro-life activists. “This proclamation has now been pulled from the agenda on Tuesday at my request,” Mayor Justin Wilson, a Democrat, said in a March 4 email,…
