Major Banks Closed Pro-Life Accounts After Biden Called Them “Hate Groups”

The OCC said the banks’ claimed reforms were insufficient and that none fully acknowledged the “weaponization of finance against hardworking Americans”


Major banks closed accounts and restricted services for pro-life organizations and Christian groups after materials from the Biden administration labeling them “hate groups” were circulated to financial institutions.

The Biden admin was exposed in 2024 trying to debank pro-life, conservative and Christian groups and endorsed a list of “hate groups” that includes mainstream conservative Christian organizations like Alliance Defending Freedom and the Family Research Council.

A new investigation of this has produced shocking results.

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency’s report, “Guaranteeing Fair Banking for All Americans,” reviewed nearly 100,000 complaints and tens of thousands of internal records from 2020 through September 2025 at JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citibank, Wells Fargo, U.S. Bank, Capital One, PNC, TD Bank, and BMO Bank. 

It found policies that denied or limited access based on political, religious, or social views, citing “reputation risk” from the Biden administration, negative press, protests, leftist advocacy groups such as the Southern Poverty Law Center, and potential regulatory pressure. ---More...


Democrats’ 84-Page Plan After Taking Over Congress Includes Abortions Up to Birth

House Democrats’ health care working group handed House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) an 84-page playbook to run if they seize control in November.

It maps out what they plan to do in their first 100 hours if they take back control of Congress.

And at the top of their list? Abortion.

In their own words, they want to “Reestablish a federal right to abortion care and end restrictions that prevent people covered through federal health programs from receiving abortion coverage.”

In other words, abortion-on-demand nationwide, and you pay for it. ---More...


Catholic Bishop Urges No Vote on Abortions Up to Birth in Virginia: “Confront the Evil”

Bishop Michael Burbidge met with Catholic priests throughout the Diocese of Arlington last Thursday to reinforce the importance of defeating two constitutional amendments on the Virginia ballot.

The proposed amendments have prompted an unprecedented effort by Burbidge to raise awareness among Virginia Catholics. Question 1 would expand abortion access throughout pregnancy while undermining parental consent for minors. Question 2 would redefine marriage and enshrine transgender ideology in the state constitution.

“These are tough and challenging days, and these are very unsettling questions we’re voting on,” Burbidge said on the latest episode of his “Walk Humbly” podcast. “But we have the truth, and we have prayer, we have fasting.” ---More...




Australian Politician Promises Free Abortions if He’s Re-Elected

An Australian politician thinks killing babies for free is the best way to win women’s votes.

Victorian Premier Ben Carroll’s Labor government has pledged free abortions if re-elected next month, a plan that would use taxpayer dollars to kill babies up to and including viability.

Under the proposal, the state would pay private abortionists to kill babies up to 16 weeks. Labor estimates the policy would cost $30 million over four years and save women the approximately $700 cost of paying for an abortion.

It would also extend the window for the dangerous abortion pill from nine weeks to babies up to 10 weeks’ gestation and a review panel to expand it further to 12 weeks. Women traveling long distances would gain access to the Victorian Patient Transport Assistance Scheme, and additional nurses would be trained to help kill more babies. ---More...


Pro-Life Catholic Group Issues Voter Guides for Seven States

CatholicVote, America’s leading Catholic Advocacy organization, has released voter guides for seven states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. The key message for Catholics: vote early.

“These midterms are crucial for the values Catholics hold dear: the sanctity of life and marriage, immigration and border security, keeping boys out of girls’ sports, the appointment of judges and justices on the state and federal levels, and religious liberty, all of which are being assaulted by the Democratic Socialists of America,” said CatholicVote President and CEO Kelsey Reinhardt. “Our voter guides explain the pros and cons of candidates in key races, and the consequences of important ballot initiatives, which are often deceptively worded.”

“If Catholics aren’t at the table, we are on the menu. Yet, too many Catholics sit out midterm elections,” she added. “We need faithful Catholics to show up at the polls in force now through November 3 or risk a return to the disastrous policies and downright anti-Catholic bigotry of the Biden administration, which will resurface with a vengeance if we lose our already slim majorities in the House and Senate. If Christians do not take up their duty in political life, we will be governed by those whose values are antithetical to our own.” ---More...
