3+ hour, 31+ min ago (717+ words) COMMENTARY: Here are some ways the movement has a historic opportunity to build a system that protects all Americans. There is broad bipartisan agreement that the health-care system in the United States is broken. Our country just endured the longest government shutdown ever, and it was largely over health care. Few other developments in America could do more to combat abortion and protect unborn lives, uplift the dignity of pregnant mothers, restore the family unit, and revive American greatness than establishing a robust culture of life in health care. While the pro-life movement should reject legislative efforts to create a pro-abortion, pro-euthanasia socialized medical system, it is vital that the pro-life movement offers an alternative pro-life health-care vision and proposal. Drawing on Catholic social teaching, seven principles should inform policymakers and the American people about building a health-care system that…...

7+ hour, 30+ min ago (1851+ words) The cars and pickup trucks from Missouri, Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana, Indiana and Mississippi started arriving early in the morning at the Alamo Women's Clinic in Carbondale, Ill. Men were not allowed inside, so most waited in the parking lot, scrolling or dozing, exhausted after driving through the night. Abortion is legal in Illinois, but the state is surrounded by others that have largely banned the procedure in the three years since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. As a result, Illinois now leads the nation in out-of-state abortion patients. Carbondale, a college town in Illinois's southern tip within driving distance of 10 states with abortion bans, has become a major abortion hub. Last year three clinics in this city of 21,000 provided close to 11,000 abortions, almost all for women from other states. The numbers, provided by the clinics, account for nearly a third…...

19+ hour, 12+ min ago (616+ words) Anti-abortion activists have the right to hand leaflets to women in the driveway of a Clearwater abortion clinic, a federal appeals court ruled Thursday. In a 2-to-1 decision, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit'tossed'a trial judge's decision preventing the Florida Preborn Rescue organization from entering within five feet of the Bread and Roses Women's Health Center's driveway.' Instead, the lower court must pause the Clearwater ordinance preventing the group " and any other pedestrians " from entering the center's "buffer zone" " a 38-foot stretch of public sidewalk, 28 feet of which cross the clinic's driveway. "The Ordinance seriously burdens Florida Preborn's speech " by restricting the sidewalk counselors' ability to distribute leaflets to patients as they arrive at the clinic," the majority opinion reads.' "The controlling question is whether the challenged buffer zone " be it five, 10, or 35 feet"burdens substantially more speech…...

[Supreme Court justices in 2022][U.S. Supreme Court in Washington, D.C. (Image by Mark Thomas from Pixabay)]U.S. Supreme Court in Washington, D.C. When the American Civil Liberties Union agrees with pro-life, gun rights, and business groups in the Supreme Court, there must be a pretty clear and important principle at stake. The case is First Choice Women's Resource Centers v. Platkin, and the Court heard arguments on Dec. 2. The important principle is whether the First Amendment allows a state to pry into private organizations' internal communications and uncover donor lists, supposedly in the name of the "public interest," even when those organizations have not been accused of violating any law. Every organization across the ideological spectrum will be affected by the Court's decision. First Choice…...
