The pro-life movement is based around those of us who accept that life begins at conception, a scientific fact having nothing to do with religion. Within that movement of those who come to that agreement, there are many differences, on demographics, religious and political preferences, and lifestyle choices such as whether to engage in sexual […]
Yesterday, the Consistent Life Network launched GrassrootsDefunding.org, a new initiative to advertise alternatives to Planned Parenthood. This is a great program, and much needed. While Congress still can’t get its act together and redirect Planned Parenthood’s tax funding, there is no shortage of work we can do on the ground to decrease Planned Parenthood’s deadly […]
Tonight, I will be on an airplane, making my way to the Students for Life of Illinois conference at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign! I’m especially excited to meet some wonderful Chicago-area film students who are working to bring my pro-life screenplay to fruition.

Ever heard a fishing story? I’ve heard a few, and I’ve noticed something: the fish usually grows every time the story is told. Of course, escaped fish aren’t the only things that constantly get bigger—so does the number of women predicted to die if abortion is outlawed. Estimates can climb to hundreds of thousands or […]

#HelloHyde, my name is Stargift. Last year on September 30, we celebrated the 40th anniversary of the life-saving Hyde Amendment with a social media photo campaign, using the hashtag #HelloHyde.
