[Today’s guest post by Candace Stewart is part of our paid blogging program.] Recently I wrote a blog post showing evidence of the effectiveness of pro-life laws.

#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. Tomorrow is the 41st anniversary, and while 41 may not be as eye-catching, the Hyde Amendment remains a crucial tool to protect low-income children from […]

[Today’s guest post by Adam Peters is part of our paid blogging program.] The Supreme Court said there’s a right to abortion. However, it also said there’s a right not to have one, and that right applies to minors. Unfortunately, this is something many won’t accept: mothers often feel pressured to abort, and can face […]
