After years of legal battles, the Oregon law mandating employers to cover abortion in their insurance has been found unconstitutional. However, the question remains whether the ruling will apply to just one pro-life organization or more broadly.

Planned Parenthood Awards Pink for Promoting Abortion, Says They’re “Warriors” for Killing Babies
Fresh from its latest annual report showing it killed a record number of babies in abortions, the Planned Parenthood abortion business celebrated itself at a swank gala in New York City. Planned Parenthood honored singer Pink with its Champion of Change Award at a gala Wednesday night for her long record of promoting abortion. The pop star praised the abortion business’ staff as “warriors” amid the organization’s record number of abortions last year.
Clarence Thomas: Celebrate America 250 By Doing Something To Save The Country
The current court’s longest-serving member delivered a resounding speech at the University of Texas on Wednesday commemorating the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. “Progressivism seeks to replace the basic premises of the Declaration of Independence, and hence our form of government,” Thomas said. “It holds that our rights and our dignities come not from God, but from government. It requires of the people a subservience and weakness incompatible with a constitution premised on the transcendent origin of our rights.”
The Ripple Effect of Sharing Your Story About Porn
It’s easy to assume that sharing your story is just about the sharer. It’s personal. But what I’ve seen, over and over again, is that when someone speaks openly, vulnerably, it has a way of reaching and impacting others in ways they may never fully see. There’s a ripple effect.
How Mexico’s surrogacy market banks on women’s bodies
Tabasco, Mexico became the epicenter of surrogacy, due to legal changes in the 1990s. Subsequently, surrogacy agencies swarmed to Tabasco to capitalize on competitive medical costs, poor oversight, and the legal ability to publish birth certificates naming individuals biologically unrelated to a child as the child’s parents. Since then, Mexico has become a primarily unrestricted, profit‑driven market where clinics, brokers, and intermediaries have transformed the country’s initially-budding surrogacy landscape into an all-out baby export industry.
Indiana School Counselor Wins Free Speech Victory Over District’s ‘Gender’ Policy
An Indiana school district agreed to pay $195,000 to settle with a school counselor who was fired for speaking to a journalist about the district policy of hiding students “gender identity” from parents. The case involved Kathy McCord, a 37-year education veteran who objected to the school’s mandate “which required her to speak in ways that violate her sincerely held religious beliefs,” reported Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF).
Planned Parenthood Endorses Janet Mills, Who Legalized Abortions Up to Birth
The Planned Parenthood abortion business has endorsed Maine Gov. Janet Mills in her bid for the U.S. Senate, praising the Democrat for signing legislation that allowed abortions up to birth. The endorsement comes as Mills, 78, competes in a competitive Democratic primary against oyster farmer and military veteran Graham Platner, 41, and David Costello, 64. All three candidates support abortion.
On Dignity and Desecration
Modern Western culture excels in grand but shallow pieties. The menu is rich: “love is love,” whatever that means; “science is real,” but religion is, implicitly, not; “no human is illegal,” unless you’re an unwanted, unborn child; and so on. My favorite is the bumper-sticker wisdom of “war is not the answer.” Well, maybe yes; maybe no. It depends on the question and circumstances. Sometimes war is the morally legitimate choice. The Desecration of Man combines rigorous research with an easy style. In this sense it follows a classic C. S. Lewis recipe: serious scholarship, delivered in an appealing way, for a broad general audience. And his subject matter—the impact on our humanity of an intensely materialist culture.
Boys to Men: Ushering Boys into Manhood
We modern Americans no longer provide for our own bodily needs, having off-loaded practically all of this work to corporations, robots, and professionals. Whatever the gains of this system (and there are many), it should come as no surprise that a culture thus alienated from creaturely embodiment is profoundly acedic and sexually confused.
In Defense of Cultural Christianity
Rather than lament the death of cultural Christianity, Moore argues, we should celebrate it as a boon for evangelism. He claims: “It is easier to speak a gospel to the lost than it is to speak a gospel to the kind-of-saved.” Those who keep Judgment Day in view will find that “cultural Christianity is worse than no Christianity at all.” In an essay occasioned by the cultural “conversions” of former New Atheists, Moore echoes Kierkegaard: Appreciation for the civilizational benefits of Christianity co-opts the faith and hollows it out.
