California bill encourages public schools to celebrate Hindu holiday ‘Diwali’
Public school students could soon be forced to chant to pagan deities as part of the state holiday of ‘Diwali,’ a celebration of the pagan and heretical religion of Hinduism. AB 268 passed the California Assembly by a 78-0 vote and now must pass the state senate before heading to the governor’s desk. The law would declare Diwali a state holiday and encourage public schools to promote it, which raises religious liberty concerns.

Men Are in Trouble. Maybe Fatherhood and Bigger Families Are a Solution
My dad spent more than four decades with at-home kids, actively parenting even as some of his own children became parents themselves. It’s a kind of alternate reality compared to what’s typically marketed in pop culture as a good life for a man.

Christians Need Not Apply To Foster In This State
Gender ideology’s war on America’s children has turned its guns on a particularly vulnerable group: children in foster care. Despite a court ruling blocking a Biden-era rule that imposed gender ideology as a condition of serving children who identify as LGBTQ, several states now demand that prospective foster parents affirm the “gender identity” of hypothetical children they might foster one day. Vermont has taken this egregious stance even further, telling one Christian family that they presented too much of a risk, that they would raise children sharing their beliefs.

Oregon middle school openly undermines parental rights with “Spirit Pride Week”
A middle school in Oregon’s Eugene School District 4J, the Arts & Technology Academy, recently pushed a radical “Pride Spirit Week,” promoting LGBT ideology to young students without parental consent. Parents were outraged, with one telling Fox News they were blindsided, only learning of the event after students came home on Monday, the so-called “Rainbow-Out” Day. This deliberate exclusion of families signals a troubling trend of schools prioritizing progressive agendas over traditional values.

Parenting: Take This Job And Love It
Parenting is a job that can be loved deeply. I was never the kind of woman who was good with babies. Oh, I could admire them just fine. I just didn’t have the first clue about caring for them. When I was a new mom, my friend came over and tossed around my baby in total comfort. She held Ethan one way, then casually flipped him to rest on her forearm, then cradled him close and then held him out. She gave him back to me with a breezy smile, and I robotically put my hands under his armpits and pulled him cautiously toward me. To me, he seemed like a piece of china that might break. My friend treated him like a football.

85% of Prenatal Tests are Wrong, 90% of Those Babies are Aborted
No parent ever wants to hear these words at an ultrasound: “Your baby may not survive.” When doctors deliver a life-limiting diagnosis for a preborn child, families are often devastated—and pressured into abortion, with little guidance on choosing Life. Now, Texas is changing that.
In a major step toward building a more compassionate, Pro-Life culture, state lawmakers passed the Perinatal Palliative Care Act during the 2025 legislative session. Senate Bill 1233 by Senator Kelly Hancock (R–North Richland Hills) and Representative Valoree Swanson (R–Spring) ensures that families receive real information and resources—not silence or pressure.
Live Action calls on Trump administration to reject public funding of IVF
A Live Action memo, now public but in the hands of the Trump administration for months, encourages the administration to turn away from the promotion of IVF toward promoting treating the underlying causes of infertility. The memo points out that Restorative Reproductive Medicine has seen great success in bringing healing to those experiencing infertility by addressing things like hormone balance and nutritional support. It addresses ovulation-related disorders, nutritional deficiencies, immunological concerns, as well as male infertility factors. The public funding of IVF has the potential to significantly increase the taxpayer burden, while paying for a technology that leads to the destruction of human life.
