AG Nominee Todd Blanche Promises Action on Abortion Pills: We Will “Protect the Unborn”

Republican Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley questioned acting Attorney General Todd Blanche over the Trump administration not changing some Biden-era abortion policies at Wednesday’s confirmation hearing.

Hawley pressed Blanche over the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) abortion pill regulations still in place from the Biden administration, stating that the “dramatic increase” in abortions in Missouri and nationwide since 2023 came after former President Joe Biden “contravened” pro-life states’ laws through FDA regulations.

The Biden-era FDA in 2021 removed the in-person requirement from abortion pill prescriptions so that health care providers can prescribe the abortion pills to patients completely online, according to the FDA website. The FDA finalized the removal of the in-person requirement in 2023. ---More...

Police Say Pro-Life MP Anne Widdecombe Was Killed in “Targeted Attack”

Counter-terrorism police have confirmed that Ann Widdecombe, the outspoken pro-life former MP and Reform UK spokesperson, was killed in a targeted attack at her home in Devon.

This comes as investigators examine possible left-wing motivation linked to her strong conservative views opposing abortion and the trans agenda.

Assistant Commissioner Laurence Taylor, head of Counter Terrorism Policing, stated that the 78-year-old former Conservative MP was the victim of a deliberate assault. 

“It is clear that this was a targeted attack,” Taylor said. “We are still working to understand the extent of any planning or preparation, and the motivation that sits behind that attack.” ---More...

France’s National Assembly Passes Bill Legalizing Euthanasia

I have very bad news for everyone who opposes killing people. 

France’s National Assembly passed their euthanasia bill by a vote of 291 to 241 on Wednesday, July 15.

We reported on June 30 that France’s National Assembly voted to pass the euthanasia bill by a vote of 295 to 232.

France’s Senate has defeated the euthanasia bill three times after the previous votes. This final vote will not go to the Senate for a vote as the National Assembly can pass legislation into law even when they are not able to reach agreement with the Senate.

Sylvie Corbet reported for The Associated Press on July 15 that the Prime Minister and the Senate President will refer the bill to the Constitutional Council. Corbet wrote: ---More...

Congress Needs to Defund Planned Parenthood Once and For All

Amy Klobuchar recently claimed that Planned Parenthood offers the lifesaving service of mammograms for women. The Democratic senator from Minnesota is wrong about that, since Planned Parenthood offers no such service, only referrals for them — but it does provide an in-house service that took 434,450 lives last year.

The primary business of Planned Parenthood is abortion, the killing of babies, which many Republican lawmakers have worked tirelessly to defund over the decades. To keep the taxpayer dollars flowing, the radical progressives in Congress, such as Klobuchar, who are defenders and supporters of the organization, will happily spew misleading information.

At one point, fewer than 3% of the breast exams performed at Planned Parenthood resulted in a mammogram referral, which was once revealed in a congressional hearing. “A report concluded that supporters should stop claiming Planned Parenthood ‘provides’ mammograms because the wording falsely suggests the organization directly performs the imaging,” The Post Millennial noted. ---More...

Teacher Fired After She Tells Students She Opposes Abortion

A Catholic history teacher was summarily dismissed from her position after honestly answering students’ questions about her opposition to abortion during a lesson on the rise of Adolf Hitler.

Sarah Morse, 66, an American-born teacher at Arbroath High School in Angus, Scotland, was fired on November 19, 2025, after pupils asked about life in the United States, including her views on abortion.

Morse, a faithful Catholic, responded according to her religious beliefs.

“I am a faithful Roman Catholic and I am against it,” she told the class.

When questioned about abortion in cases of rape, she explained her belief that the preborn child should not be punished, while noting that many people disagree and that it is reasonable to hold opposing views. She emphasized that she did not attempt to persuade the students and told them it was fine to disagree with her. ---More...
