Wade in the next four years will be nil. They prudently have decided to put their energies toward making abortion a less-attractive choice by strengthening the social programs that would help more pregnant women choose life for the unborn. Other activists have said that this nod to practicality is selling out, that it undermines the progress the pro-life movement has made. No...

They covered from June 1, the week that the primaries ended and Hillary Clinton suspended her campaign, to October 15, the day of the last presidential debate. Pew found only 283 stories in which religion or religious...
