On Thursday, the left-wing South Dakota Searchlight revealed that the Chicago-based Think Big America donated $500,000 to Dakotans for Health, a pro-abortion group behind the campaign to pass a baby-killing amendment appearing on South Dakota’s 2024 ballot. Think Big America is a major proponent of radical abortion policies and was founded by Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker.

Indeed, according to Pew Research Center, the portion of Americans identifying as Christian has plummeted from 90 percent in 1972 to 63 percent in 2020.

In his book, His Needs, Her Needs: Building an Affair-Proof Marriage, Dr. Willard Harley says that the marriages most susceptible to infidelity are those where one or both spouses fail to meet their spouse’s primary needs.

Under the permit, he would also need to change sidewalk corners every 15 minutes while holding his sign.
“No one needs the government’s permission to express their faith in public,” First Liberty Senior Counsel Nate Kellum said. “The First Amendment is his permit. Like any citizen in any city in America, Mr. Giardino is free to peacefully share his religious beliefs on a public sidewalk. Chapin’s ordinance is overbroad, unconstitutional, and must be repealed or enjoined.”
Read MoreA recent Institute for Family Studies study found parents are much more likely to move out of blue states and into red ones than vice versa. In 2021-2022, roughly 180,000 more families left blue states for red states than vice versa. The migratory appeal of red states to ordinary families with children is certainly one strike against the idea that blue states are more family friendly than red ones.
Beyond mobility trends, where are Americans most likely to have babies? Again, the answer is red states. Republican states (those that Trump won in 2020) generally have markedly higher fertility rates than Democratic ones (those that Biden won), suggesting that more men and women feel confident about starting and raising families in red states than blue ones.
