Friday January 19th marked the 51st annual March for Life where pro-lifers from around the nation gather to stand in solidarity and support for all life from the womb to the tomb. This year’s event was the second one since the Dobbs decision came out back in 2022 and Roe v. Wade was overturned. Musician Danny Gokey kicked off the event with a pre-rally concert in front of the U.S. Capitol building. After that, numerous pro-life speakers took the mic to talk about their own experiences with abortion and how important it is to protect the unborn. We spoke with...

The Friday evening and Saturday morning shows for ABC, NBC, and CBS all ignored Friday’s 51st annual March for Life in Washington, D.C. where thousands turned out in the cold and the snow to protest the killing of the unborn. Friday’s NBC Nightly News was the worst offender because not only did they ignore pro-lifers, they actively promoted pro-abortion high schoolers. Host Lester Holt introduced the report, “Right now, millions of high school seniors are grappling with one of the biggest decisions of their lives, where to go to college. And as Savannah Sellers reports, there's one factor that’s taking...

Fifty years ago, out of one of the darkest moments in American history, a nationwide movement was born. A year to the day after Roe v. Wade wiped out protections for nascent life in every state, 20,000 Americans spearheaded by Nellie Gray held the first March for Life to send a message to Washington, D.C.: Uphold life, the first of human rights. Few, if any, anticipated that it would take half a century to reverse Roe and restore our right to protect unborn babies and their mothers. The march became an annual event. Along the way, the crowd of marchers...

Joe Biden offered a one-word response Thursday to a reporter’s question about the annual March for Life event. A reporter asked if Biden had a message to the pro-lifers attending the March for Life, which is set to take place Friday in Washington D.C. “Tomorrow is the March for Life in Washington D.C.,” a reporter said. “I know that,” Biden replied. “What’s your message to those attending?” the reporter continued. “March,” Biden replied. Biden has been a staunch opponent to the pro-life movement throughout his presidency and condemned the Supreme Court’s overturn of Roe v. Wade in June 2022. Roe...

When Nellie Gray founded the March for Life in 1974, she thought one big demonstration against the unjust and tragic Roe v. Wade decision the previous year would be enough to halt legal abortion in the U.S. History has shown her optimism was unfounded, but the bad jurisprudence imposed on our nation by those seven justices was finally repealed in 2022. And yet the March continues, as it must. The current occupant of the White House says his first priority if re-elected would be to re-establish Roe. Our vice president is about to embark on a nationwide tour to talk...

[Catholic Caucus] March for Life 2023 -- a very different year On Friday, January 20, the annual March for Life will occur in Washington, D.C. In the past it was a rally of hundreds of thousands of pro-life people to the U.S. Supreme Court, commemorating the January 22, 1973 anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision. This time it will be a (peaceful) march to the U.S. Capitol.So many things have changed since last year's March for Life. On the positive side, Roe was overturned, with the Dobbs decision. On the negative side, D.C. Cardinal Wilton Gregory banned all traditional...

Fifty years ago, a deep and heartfelt chasm was created when the U.S. Supreme Court handed down its Roe v Wade decision. While that divide remains deep, scientific advances over the past five decades have created new understandings, which are impacting public attitudes about abortion today. But the pro-abortion governor and supreme court in Harrisburg seem more interested in scoring political points and forcing taxpayers to fund abortions than in fostering understanding. The more scientists and doctors investigate, the more evidence we find that human life begins at fertilization. We also now know, for example, that an unborn child’s heart...

January 13, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) – The primary uses of the propaganda campaign to bully the public into thinking President Donald Trump “incited” the storming of the U.S. Capitol last week are obvious: whip up enough fear and anger at the president to impeach and bar him from running again in 2024, divide Republican officeholders who have kept Trump’s base at arm’s length, and create a pretense to expand their war on dissenting social media voices. But there’s one more target that has largely gone overlooked, and it’s slated to descend on the nation’s capital in less than three weeks.Friday, January...

Everyone is made in the image and likeness of God. Every person has a purpose on this Earth. Do we believe this? "Sister Calling My Name" confronts these questions in the rawest of ways. How many people have no idea that they are amazing, that God created them for tremendous things that are sometimes small to the world, but so magnificently beautiful at the same time? "Sister" is a play by Buzz McLaughlin that is currently being performed by the Storm Theatre Company and the Blackfriars Repertory Theatre at the Sheen Center for Thought and Culture in Manhattan. I'm a...
