Life Issues

A South Korean government survey shows a powerful truth: economic stability is a foundation for marriage, childbearing, and a thriving nation. Young adults with secure jobs, dependable income, and the possibility of owning a home are much more likely to marry and have children.

South Korea has among the lowest birth rates in the world, millions of couples delay or avoid marriage and parenthood because of rising housing costs, stagnant wages, and job insecurity. Governments have tried direct cash incentives, but the data shows that true long-term demographic recovery requires robust economic policies that make marriage and raising children realistic and hopeful.

If we want our nations to thrive, we must reject abortion and build a culture that respects life.

Hollywood’s abortion propaganda machine is apparently mad that there aren’t enough abortions on TV . According to reports, activists want more characters choosing abortion and fewer portrayals of real-life struggles that reflect the dignity of motherhood and the tragedy of ending innocent lives.

Hollywood has churned out films and shows celebrating abortion, normalizing it as entertainment, and casting pro-lifers as villains. Yet now activists openly complain that even this isn’t enough. They want abortion glorified, without stigma or moral complexity.

Abortion is not entertainment it’s the taking of a human life. Let’s champion stories that honor life, support women and children, and expose the emotional truth abortion inflicts on families.

A pro-abortion woman in Washington State has been arrested after intentionally ramming her SUV into a pro-life activist outside a Planned Parenthood clinic.

According to reports, 32-year-old Sierra Godfrey pulled into the clinic parking lot, argued with three pro-life men, then got back in her vehicle and swerved into one of the peaceful protesters, knocking him to the ground before fleeing the scene. Godfrey was later tracked down by police using video footage and charged with second-degree assault and hit-and-run.

Authorities say the victim was treated at the scene and able to walk away. Godfrey has admitted to striking the man but claims she only meant to scare them.

This is yet another example of the violence often directed at pro-life advocates who are simply standing peacefully for the unborn and offering help to women in crisis.

While the world certainly needs more babies, we should not allow children to become commodities.

Recent reports reveal that a Chinese billionaire has reportedly paid for 100 children to be created through multiple U.S. surrogacy clinics — raising serious ethical and human-rights concerns about the commodification of human life.

Judge Amy Pellman was alarmed when she saw his name repeatedly appear in surrogacy petitions.  

The man reportedly told the court that he wants to have 20 boys so that they can take over his family business, and expressing his favoritism toward sons rather than daughters. An ex-girlfriend believes that he may have fathered as many as 300 children through the surrogacy process.

This bizarre case is a reminder that every child is a person, not a product. As a society we cannot neglect the sanctity of human life.

South Dakota’s Attorney General Marty Jackley has issued a cease-and-desist order to Mayday Health, a pro-abortion group running abortion-pill advertisements at gas stations across the state, telling them to stop immediately or face legal action under state law.

South Dakota bans chemical abortions and the distribution of abortion-inducing drugs, and officials say Mayday’s ads mislead the public by implying abortion pills are legal in the state.

Governor Larry Rhoden called for the investigation, saying the campaign “threatens the lives of children yet to be born” and endangers women’s health.

Following the cease and desist order, local news outlets report that the advertisements are already coming down. We commend South Dakota for taking a strong stand to defend babies and their mothers from the dangers of the abortion drug.

The University of Michigan is facing backlash for honoring Dr. Jack Kevorkian as one of its “leaders and best” alumni. Kevorkian, a 1952 University of Michigan Medical School graduate, became infamous for advocating and performing physician-assisted suicide, participating in the deaths of over 100 people and earning a conviction for second-degree murder in 1999.

In a recent issue of Medicine at Michigan, Kevorkian was included among celebrated doctors, portrayed as someone who “changed the conversation” on assisted suicide, glossing over his role in ending vulnerable lives.

Two university professors publicly condemned the decision, arguing that celebrating Kevorkian contradicts the core mission of medicine, which is to heal and protect life.

Across the United States, pro-life pregnancy resource centers now outnumber brick-and-mortar abortion facilities by more than four to one. Recent data shows there are nearly 2800 pregnancy centers offering ultrasounds, counseling, diapers, parenting classes, and material support, compared to about 650 abortion facilities still operating nationwide.

Pregnancy centers exist to help women choose life by meeting real needs, not by profiting from the death of unborn children. They walk alongside mothers in crisis, offering compassion, truth, and practical help, often at no cost and without pressure.

Sadly, as physical abortion facilities continue to close amidst funding cuts, the total number of abortions continues to rise due to the dangerous abortion pill. It is essential that women know that there is hope and help waiting for them at pregnancy resource centers.

Recently I told you about an Ohio doctor who allegedly poisoned a woman with chemical abortion drugs. He now faces six felony charges.  

Investigators say Dr. Hassan-James Abbas used his estranged wife’s identity to order the drugs, then crushed them and forced them into the woman’s mouth while she slept. She had told him she wanted to keep the baby just one day earlier.  

Prosecutors say Abbas held her down, prevented her from calling 911, and attempted to hide evidence after the assault. The woman sought emergency care and reported what happened. A grand jury has now indicted Abbas on charges including abduction, identity fraud, and illegal distribution of abortion-inducing drugs. 

 His medical license has been suspended as the case moves forward. Chemical abortion pills put women in danger and enable abusers. 

A troubling scene unfolded outside a Chicago Planned Parenthood after a woman reportedly collapsed following an abortion procedure.  

Witnesses from Coalition Life say staff escorted her out the door, leaving her to call 911 on her own despite obvious distress. A volunteer found her slumped over, crying in pain, and helped direct paramedics to her.  

According to Coalition Life, this incident reflects a growing problem in Illinois: after Roe v. Wade was overturned, the state removed reporting requirements for abortion-related complications. This shields facilities from accountability while putting women at greater risk. Body-camera footage from the volunteer is now raising serious questions about patient safety and Planned Parenthood protocols. 

A heartbreaking case out of Canada shows the grim direction of the nation’s assisted-suicide program. Jolene Van Alstine, suffering from a painful parathyroid condition, spent years begging for the surgery she needed.  

She couldn’t find a surgeon in her province, nor an endocrinologist willing to refer her elsewhere. Instead of receiving treatment, she was approved for assisted suicide, scheduled for January 2026. Her story exposes a critical flaw in Canada’s so-called universal health care: when the system fails to provide care, it offers death instead. 

This case proves MAID is no longer a “last resort,” but an escape for a system unable or unwilling to treat the most vulnerable. Van Alstine’s case raises a stark question, how many more patients will be offered death rather than healing?
