By Judie Brown In the wake of the 53rd anniversary of Roe v. Wade/Doe v. Bolton, we revisit what it means to be pro-life in 2026.

Our commitment should be unwavering despite the ill winds of politics, public opinion, and deceptive… Read More »What Does It Mean to Be Pro-Life?

By Judie Brown One of the greatest challenges in our nation today is a clear understanding of what it means to have free will—a gift from God that allows each person to choose the Lord’s way or the devil’s way.

By Susan Ciancio The March for Life is next week, and though Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022, we must continue to fight the horrors of abortion every day, as the individual states still allow the killing of preborn babies.

By Judie Brown The age of “worthless” people has led us to some rather odious situations. Take the case of caregivers who strive to subtly coerce their patients to death, whether by imposed or self-administered death.

By Judie Brown An incomprehensible number like 73 million can be so challenging for people to wrap their heads around that many, if not most, choose to ignore it.
