Life Issues

Louisiana has taken a stand for life by indicting a California abortionist accused of trafficking abortion pills into the state, violating Louisiana law and contributing to the death of an unborn child. The Dr. Has been charged with criminal abortion by means of abortion-inducing drugs and the Attorney General has sought his extradition to face justice at Louisiana.  

Abortion providers often bypass state protections for the unborn by mailing abortion pills across state lines, undermining the rights of pregnant women and the sanctity of life.  

The Doctor is seeking refuge in California where Governor Newsome has promised he will not allow for extradition, citing the state’s shield laws which protect abortionists. This has become common practice in pro-abortion states as pro-lifers seek justice for the unborn. 

In uplifting news, Vice President J.D. Vance and Second Lady Usha Vance announced they are expecting their fourth child, a boy due in late July. The Vance family shared their joy publicly, saying that Usha and the baby are healthy and that their whole family looks forward to welcoming this new life.  

This announcement is a powerful reminder that children are a blessing and that growing families enrich our communities. At a time when our culture often questions the value of life, the Vances’ excitement about expanding their family stands as a positive affirmation of life and love. 

We extend our congratulations and prayers to the Vance family in this exciting time for their family.  

A new report shows a troubling trend: 114 Christian colleges and universities in the United States still maintain ties to Planned Parenthood or the abortion industry, up sharply from prior years. More than one in seven Christian schools list abortion vendors as “health resources,” promote internship opportunities with abortion providers, or include pro-abortion materials in their programs all while claiming a Christian identity.

For institutions allegedly founded on biblical teaching, this is a stark contradiction. Christian education should uphold the sanctity of every human life, not normalize connections to an industry that ends innocent lives.

Parents, students, and alumni deserve transparency and fidelity to Christian values.

A new report from the Charlotte Lozier Institute reveals dangerous overseas abortion drugs are flooding into the United States, bypassing our laws and regulations. International online pharmacies and abortion centers are shipping pills into all 50 states — often with no prescription, no medical oversight, and no meaningful limits on how late in pregnancy they can be used.  

These unregulated drugs not only threaten the lives of unborn children, ending countless innocent lives, they also put women at serious risk of complications because there’s no medical screening or follow-up.  

Studies show that approximately 1 in 10 women who take these pills will face serious adverse medical reactions like sepsis, profuse bleeding, and hospitalization. The abortion industry does not care about the women however, they only care about their profits.  

Zohran Mamdani, New  York City’s new mayor has just appointed a former Planned Parenthood attorney to lead the city’s Human Rights Commission.  Christine Clarke spent part of her career defending Planned Parenthood, the organization responsible for hundreds of thousands of abortions each year and one that has repeatedly fought to stop pro-life laws from protecting the rights of unborn children.  

Appointing someone who defended the mass murder of unborn children in the womb to now oversee “human rights” is a mockery of what human rights actually are. How can someone lead a human rights commission when they deny the most basic human right of all?  

Mamdani says that she will “help build the city we deserve.” What about the city that the babies deserve to live in? 

A Canadian woman was nearly killed, not by her disease, but by a system that failed to care for her. Unable to access treatment for a rare parathyroid condition, she was approved for death under Canada’s Medical Aid in Dying program. Instead of providing timely medical care, the government offered her assisted suicide. Thankfully, that was not the end of her story. She traveled to the United States, where she is now alive and receiving the treatment, she needed all along. 

Assisted suicide and euthanasia legislation creates of a culture that treats death as a solution when care becomes inconvenient or costly. Innocent people who want help should never be ushered toward suicide. Compassion means preserving life, not ending it.  

Today’s news out of Texas is a victory for the sanctity of life. Attorney General Ken Paxton announced that the City of San Antonio has shut down its controversial abortion travel fund, which had earmarked taxpayer dollars to help women travel out of state for abortions.

Thanks to Paxton’s legal challenge and the passage of Senate Bill 33, which makes it illegal for local governments to use public funds for abortion-related activities, that fund is no more.  

While the city disputes the Attorney General’s claim to victory, the outcome is still clear: San Antonio taxpayers will not be forced to subsidize the killing of innocent unborn children. Moral communities respect life and support real alternatives to abortion. They don’t ask the taxpayer to foot the bill for sending women to kill their children.  

In India, an 18-year-old woman has tragically died after taking abortion pills given to her by her 25-year-old cousin the man she was reportedly in a relationship with.  

Police say she began having serious health problems after taking the drug and was taken to a local hospital then transferred to a hospital in Delhi, where she died on December 23. 

 Investigators also noted that she suffered from anemia, a condition that increases the risk of heavy bleeding with abortion drugs. Authorities have charged the cousin under Indian law for an act intended to cause miscarriage.  

This is yet another stark reminder of the dangers of unsupervised abortion drugs, especially outside of proper medical care and a reminder of the importance of protecting both women and unborn children from the abortion pill. 

In Tennessee, a newborn’s life was spared from infanticide thanks to a Safe Haven Baby Box — a life-saving resource designed to protect infants and give parents in crisis a safe, legal option.  

The baby, thought to be around one month old or younger, was placed in the box at Atoka Fire Station No. 1, triggering an alarm that alerted firefighters. First responders immediately retrieved the infant and found the child in good health.  

This marked the first use of the Baby Box since its installation in November 2024. The Fire Chief said simply saving this one life was worth the program. Under Tennessee law, parents can surrender unharmed infants up to 45 days old without fear of prosecution by using Safe Haven options like these. Safe Haven boxes protect vulnerable lives and allow mothers to choose life for their child. 

Today’s story is unique. In Bakersfield, California, 41-year-old Suze Lopez thought she was simply having an ovarian cyst removed but a routine pregnancy test revealed she was expecting. What doctors discovered shocked them: her uterus was empty, yet a baby had been developing outside it in her abdominal cavity, a rare form of ectopic pregnancy that usually ends in tragedy. 

A medical team performed an emergency delivery while removing the massive 22-pound cyst, saving both mother and baby in a situation doctors call almost unheard of. 

Baby Ryu, born healthy and strong, is being praised as a miracle, and the Lopez family sees his life as a gift from God a reminder of the dignity and worth of every unborn child.
