Baby Left to Die Following Failed Abortion

A pro-life rally in response to a baby reportedly left to die after a failed abortion drew thousands in Queensland, Australia. "Last night thousands rallied in Brisbane in memory of baby Samuel," South Australian pro-life advocate Joanna Howe posted on social media. "We will stand in the gap for him and fight for him and every baby." The image of baby Samuel went viral after Howe posted it Feb. 3, along with details about his situation. Howe went on to explain that babies who survive abortion in Queensland have no right to equal treatment and care under the law. Read more...

Wyoming Senate Falls Short of Placing a Pro-Life Amendment on the Ballot

A measure to place a pro-life constitutional amendment on the ballot this fall in Wyoming fell short by a single vote of the 2/3rds threshold of votes required during a budget session. The final Senate tally was 20-11, with nine Republicans and the state's only two Democrat senator casting nay votes. The vote follows a 4-1 decision by the Wyoming Supreme Court last January that "determined the bans conflict with a 2012 amendment to the Wyoming Constitution that protects individuals' rights to make their own health care decisions," according to Katie Klingsporn.

Two-Thirds of Aborted Babies Lose Their Lives to Abortion Pills

About two-thirds of aborted babies lost their lives to abortion pills, according to a report by the National Right to Life. The 2026 "Status of Abortion in the United States" report, an analysis of developments in abortion policy, found that chemical abortions account for 63% of all reported abortions in the U.S. as of 2023. Mail-order pills, which can be shipped into every state, even if they are illegal, make chemical abortion easily accessible. Read more...

Right to Life of Michigan Sues to Hire Staff With Pro-Life Views

Right to Life, along with the Pregnancy Resource Center in Grand Rapids, have filed a federal lawsuit against state Attorney General Dana Nessel, the Michigan Department of Civil Rights and members of the Civil Rights Commission. The pro-life agencies said that changes to the state’s employment law “force religious and pro-life groups to employ and associate with persons who do not share or live by – and may even oppose – the organizations’ beliefs on human life.” The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan.

What Can Pro-Lifers Do in Unchurched States?

To really bring down abortion rates in states like Ohio, pro-life advocates will need to cut off sources of state funding for abortion. Multiple studies have shown that mandatory waiting periods have little, if any, effect on abortion rates. At the same time, studies suggest that Medicaid funding for abortion substantially affects abortion rates. Cutting off state or federal Medicaid funds for abortion is not the same as protecting the unborn in public law, but it can still save some. Read more...

How the Abortion Pill Is Changing the Post-Roe Fight

Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, 12 states have moved to provide constitutional protections for abortion. The result: more than one million abortions were performed in a single year, from July 2023 to June 2024, a number higher than in the years before the landmark decision. Researchers point to several factors driving the increase, including patients' ability to travel across state lines, so-called "shield laws" that allow abortions in states where the procedure is banned, and a rise in chemical abortions.

Catholic Colleges Among Best and Worst for Pro-Life Support

Some Catholic colleges ranked among the best for pro-life support for women, while others were among the worst for their ties to abortion clinics. In an audit of more than 700 Christian colleges and universities, the Christian Schools Project found that 1 in 7 Christian colleges referred students to Planned Parenthood for health care or future jobs, among other pro-abortion "infractions." The report by Demetree, a branch of Students for Life of America (SFLA), called the Catholic connection to the abortion industry "shocking." Read more...

The Percentage of Young People Who Identify as Pro-Life Is Growing

According to Gallup and related surveys, about 37 percent of young adults described themselves as pro-life in 2025. That represents an increase of roughly 8 to 11 percentage points compared with results from 2022 and 2023. At the same time, Gallup data show that the proportion of young Americans who believe abortion should be legal in all circumstances has dropped sharply—by an estimated 10 to 14 points. Read more...

Pro-Life Pregnancy Centers Rediscovering Their Church Roots

Churches are called not merely to fund pregnancy support centers, say Holloway and other pregnancy center leaders. Church involvement is vital to what centers were founded to accomplish. America has approximately 3,000 pregnancy support centers in all 50 states. The centers are local, nonprofit organizations that provide support and information to women and men facing decisions about unplanned pregnancies. Many also share the message of Jesus. The number of new clients served by those centers eclipsed 1 million for the first time in 2024, according to the Lozier Institute, a pro-life research organization. Read more...

Why Pro-Life Is the Only Biblical Position

Our culture tries to dehumanize these babies with rewordings and euphemisms. They call murder “terminating a pregnancy,” and they label unborn babies as “fetuses,” “embryos,” “globs of cells,” “uterine contents,” or “products of conception.” But the reality is that they are innocent children, made in the image of God, and they have every right to live. If you don’t agree with that then, frankly, you disagree with the Bible. Read more...

Medication Abortion Is the Top Target for Pro-Life Groups in 2026

While the percentage of abortions using medication had been growing every year since 2000, when the FDA first approved mifepristone for pregnancy termination, the Biden administration's decision to drop the in-person dispensing requirement supercharged its use. More than 60% of all abortions were done using medication rather than a procedure in 2023, the most recent year for which statistics are available. More than a quarter of all abortions that year were managed via telehealth. Read more...

HHS Restores Title X Funding to Planned Parenthood

U.S. President Donald Trump denied knowledge of reports that his administration has restored millions of taxpayer dollars to Planned Parenthood. According to a report in Politico, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) last month restored Title X funding to Planned Parenthood. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) dropped a lawsuit against the administration related to this funding. Planned Parenthood and some other clinics will be able to submit reimbursement receipts to the government for low-income patients who received birth control and other non-abortion services, according to the Politico report.

Report Finds Massive Uptick in Christian Colleges' Support for Abortion

Support for abortion among Christian colleges in the United States has skyrocketed since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, according to a new report by Students for Life of America's Demetree Institute for Pro-Life Advancement (IPA). IPA identified 725 Christian schools, defined as "an institution of higher education affiliated with a Christ-centered denomination and publicly claiming historical Christian faith in its founding," and combed through the colleges' websites for references to abortion found that one in seven is connected to the abortion industry.

Two Pro-Life Goals for 2026

Above all else, pro-lifers should be uncompromising in continually upping the pressure on the Trump administration around the abortion pill. The Biden administration’s decision during the pandemic to allow women to receive a prescription without meeting with a doctor in-person dramatically expanded access to abortion pills. Not only has that led to an uptick in abortions post-Dobbs, it has also produced horrifying cases of men mail-ordering abortion drugs and covertly administering them to wives or girlfriends. At a bare minimum, a nominally pro-life White House should restore the in-person requirement. Read more...

Wyoming Supreme Court Strikes Down Pro-Life Laws

Marking a dark day for protections for the unborn, in a landmark 4-1 decision, the Wyoming Supreme Court struck down two sweeping abortion restrictions, including the nation’s first explicit abortion pill ban, ruling that they violate the state constitution. According to The Hill, the court sided with Wellspring Health Access, Chelsea’s Fund, and four women who argued that Wyoming’s 2023 bans infringed on Article 1, Section 38 of the Wyoming state constitution, which affirms an adult’s “right to make his or her own health care decisions.” The laws under review included the Life is a Human Right Act, which enacted a near-total ban on abortion and specifically outlawed abortion pills, the first such law in the U.S. since the overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022. Read more...

Pro-Life Groups Push Back After Trump Tells House GOP to Be 'Flexible' on Hyde Amendment

After President Donald Trump told House Republicans to be "flexible" on the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits public funding of elective abortions, in negotiations on health care subsidies, a key national pro-life group argued the policy should be "a minimum standard in the Republican Party." During a speech to the House GOP conference at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the president suggested to members of his party that addressing rising health care costs could give them an edge over Democrats in the upcoming midterm elections, telling them, "Now you have to be a little flexible on Hyde."

Colorado Pays $6.1 Million for Trying to Ban Abortion Pill Reversal

Colorado has agreed to pay $6.1 million in attorney fees for its unconstitutional attack on abortion pill reversal that was struck down by a federal court. The state will pay $5.4 million in attorneys fees to Becket, and another $700,000 to Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF). The ruling represents a significant victory in the fight for life in a notoriously pro-abortion state. ADF Senior Counsel Kevin Theriot said in a statement, "Government officials can't silence medical professionals and prevent them from saving lives." Read more...

Pro-life Leaders Encourage Pastors to Preach Against Abortion

A recently published open letter, backed by a wide group of Christian conservatives, called on pastors to preach unapologetically about abortion from the pulpit, contending that silence on this issue has fatal ramifications for both preborn children and mothers. The letter, released by Human Coalition, points to abortion as a defining moral crisis and a Gospel issue, instead of simply a political topic. The letter quoted biblical teaching and moral duty as the foundation for proactive preaching regarding the dignity of human life "without fear or compromise." Read more...

Planned Parenthoods Continue to Shut Down in Iowa

To date, four of Iowa’s six Planned Parenthoods have shuttered their doors permanently due to a lack of funding. Iowa senator Joni Enst has vowed to vote in favor of the Protect Funding for Women’s Health Care Act, which would permanently block federal funding from Planned Parenthood. “I am committed to defending the most vulnerable among us. That’s why I will always stand up to protect taxpayer dollars from funding any organization that takes the life of an unborn child. I’m glad the Trump administration is working to end the left’s radical abortion-on-demand agenda,” Ernst said. Read more...

Rebuilding a Culture of Life in Ohio

Center for Christian Virtue published an exit poll report that applied the principle to the moral and spiritual health of Ohio, titled "Vital Signs." The results are deeply concerning: Thirty percent of Ohioans who believe life begins at conception still voted for Issue One, to make abortion a "right in the state. One in three self-identified weekly churchgoing Catholics and Evangelicals supported the abortion amendment. These numbers make one thing clear: if the Church loses moral clarity on the issue of life, culture will follow. To rebuild a culture of life, the Church must first rebuild conviction. Read more...
