Why the spread of legalized assisted suicide is a danger to the vulnerable

As the nation awaits New York Gov. Kathy Hochul’s decision to approve or veto legislation to legalize assisted suicide in the state, it’s becoming more evident that the United States is moving at a slow but increasing pace toward the promotion of death — which always begins with those most vulnerable. If a wave of pro-assisted suicide laws sweeps the nation, as it appears it could, countless vulnerable people will die or face pressure to die regardless of their desire for it or the lack of a terminal diagnosis.

Planned Parenthood Under Investigation From DOGE Panel for Misusing Taxpayer Dollars

A congressional panel led by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has launched an investigation into Planned Parenthood, probing whether the nation’s largest abortion business has misused federal taxpayer funds. The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Subcommittee, chaired by Greene under the House Oversight Committee, initiated the probe on Friday, targeting Planned Parenthood’s handling of billions in federal dollars. Greene sent a letter to Planned Parenthood CEO Alexis McGill Johnson, questioning whether the nonprofit is commingling federal funds for unpermitted purposes, despite the Hyde Amendment’s prohibition on using federal money for abortions.

Study: Planned Parenthood’s Mifepristone Push Played Key Role In Increasing Abortion Rate

Planned Parenthood played a key role in skyrocketing abortions in recent years by popularizing a dangerous and deadly abortion drug regimen used to execute a majority of U.S. abortions, a new study suggests. Abortion in the U.S. rose steadily from 1973, when the Supreme Court handed down its Roe v. Wade decision, until 1990. For the next 28 years, however, the total number of abortions declined. It wasn’t until 2018 that “this long-term decline veered sharply upward in a new direction,” about a 20 percent increase that lasted through 2023.

Pro-life sentiments are on the rise, according to Gallup poll

Pro-life sentiment has increased slightly from 2024 to 2025, a recent Gallup poll found.

Both categories were up by 3 percentage points from last year.

Your Romance Story: The Formula For Making a Great Marriage

Our youngest daughter, Annie, loves a good romance story. Her favorite is hearing how my wife, Erin, and I fell in love. And believe it or not, we owe that love to Leviticus. I was a sophomore studying at Grand Canyon University in Phoenix. I had a 7 a.m. Old Testament theology class was not the easiest class for me to stay awake in, to begin with, and on this particular morning, the professor was lecturing on Leviticus. You know, the book filled with rules and instructions, the one that even most Christians skip during their Bible-reading programs. Somewhere between passages on burnt offerings and admonitions not to eat shellfish, I must’ve drifted off: The next thing I knew, a hand was violently shaking my shoulder. My eyelids popped open, and I found myself staring into the most beautiful eyes I’d ever seen — eyes that belonged to a complete stranger.

The Government Failed at Fatherhood

The government spent decades trying to make fathers unnecessary. The failure of that experiment put society on the long-term path to collapse. Father’s Day is Sunday. It’s much less popular than Mother’s Day for a sad reason. Fewer fathers are involved in their children’s lives. That’s caused by two main factors, the first being children born to single moms. In 2022, almost 40% of births were to unmarried women, according to the Centers for Disease Control. The second reason is the prevalence of divorce.

California Sues DOJ Over Transgender Athlete Ban

California is suing the Justice Department over its demand the state prohibit male athletes from competing in women’s and girls sports. The lawsuit retaliates against letters sent to California school districts by Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon last week, ordering them to certify the ban “in writing” because, “Knowingly depriving female students of athletic opportunities and benefits on the basis of their sex would constitute unconstitutional sex discrimination under the Equal Protection Clause.

Trump May Shut Down Gender Ideology at UNICEF/Euros Rattled

The Trump administration may force the UN agency for children to hit the pause button on sexualizing children, promoting abortion, and gender ideology. Europeans want the agency to ignore the administration.

The new strategic plan of UNICEF was discussed by the executive board of the agency this week. As a result of pressure from the Trump administration, the draft of the new plan no longer has language promoting sexual and reproductive health and rights for children that was controversially included in the previous strategic plan. The draft also scaled back language promoting gender ideology.
