Apparently embracing “diversity” and “inclusion” doesn’t apply to religious Americans – in North Dakota, of all places. The school board in Fargo, North Dakota, voted 7-2 recently to stop saying the Pledge of Allegiance at the start of its meetings, according to the website Inforum.com.

TORONTO, June 21, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) — The Ontario English Catholic Teachers’ Association is tweeting support for the international pro-abortion Women Deliver conference to be held in Vancouver in 2019. OECTA tweeted on June 14: Just announced! @WomenDeliver, the largest global conf. on the rights of women, will be hosted in Canada this year: But Women Deliver, funded in part by the United Nations, advocates for global “sexual and reproductive health and rights” for women. Lest there be any doubt what that means, the Women Deliver website notes: Realizing these rights requires meeting the need for modern contraception, and sexual and...

Rights: The House Minority Leader says self-insurance is no protection against the government's contraceptive mandate, while California's junior senator says people have a right to be insured but no right to practice their faith. Lost in the phony "compromise" on the Health and Human Services mandate on religious institutions being forced to pay for contraceptive services was the fact that many such institutions are self-insured. So making insurance companies pay instead is a distinction without a difference. Sometimes these religious institutions are their own insurance company. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who once complained that her fellow Catholics had this...

I canÂ’t count the amount of times IÂ’ve been asked what my stance is on contraception. ItÂ’s not breaking news that many oral contraceptives and some invasive barrier methods (IUD) have been proven to cause abortion, including the highly controversial ella and Plan B drugs, and I stand firmly against the use of anything that destroys a life created at conception. But what about contraception that prevents conception from taking place?IÂ’m not the only one who has gotten this question; people want to know how the pro-life movement as a whole feels about this.In fact, the medical students we reach...

For the first time in the 35 years, the Supreme Court has been asked to decide whether this statement is biological fact, or mere ideology: “Abortion terminates the life of a human being.” Two U.S. courts disagree over what Roe v. Wade means for this issue, so there are now two Constitutions — one in New Jersey, the other in the Eighth Circuit’s six states. This kind of conflict increases the odds that the United States Supreme Court will step in, and a new case, Acuna v. Turkish, gives it the option to. On September 29, the high Court will...

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- One year ago this week, Barack Obama promised activists with the nation's largest abortion business that the first thing he would do as president is overturn every pro-life law in all 50 states. He said his first action would be signing the mislabeled Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA). The measure, if it becomes law, would codify Roe v. Wade by making the infamous Supreme Court decision allowing unlimited abortions the law of the land. But it would go further and overturn hundreds of state laws that have put limits on abortion like parental involvement, partial-birth abortion...

Are Howard Dean and Judy Dean abortionists? In a well-reported and thoroughly analyzed January 8th, 2004 interview with People Magazine, Drs. Dean were asked if they “were active in Planned Parenthood in Burlington”. The conversation from that point went like this: Judy: We both worked there, while we were residents, but I wouldn't call it active. Howard: And no, neither of us ever did an abortion. Q: Why do you say it that way? Howard: Because I always get asked that. Q: Why didn't you perform abortions? Howard: Because we don't do them. They don't train residents to do that....
