I once heard a preacher say that you become what you worship. This is difficult to dispute as we witness a nation increasingly willing to consent to a culture of death rather than embrace the blessings that come from caring for our most vulnerable in our society. Historically, prejudice against those deemed physically or mentally inferior has often led to efforts to eliminate them. However, this belief is not only confined to the past. Though perhaps less overtly, we are once again repeating history.

Each year, pregnancy resource centers (also known as crisis pregnancy centers) open their doors daily to serve over one million pregnant women across all 50 states. These centers represent a robust grassroots network of organizations seeking to serve women who are pregnant and under-resourced in some way, whether being financially unstable, medically uninsured, or unsupported by a partner or family.

The nation’s largest abortion business reeled from funding cuts this year after Congress and President Trump signed off on a bill that revoked federal taxpayer funding. The defunding resulted in the abortion giant closing almost 50 of its abortion centers. All Planned Parenthood centers either directly kill babies in abortions, arrange for the sales of dangerous abortion pills or refer women to abortion businesses in other states.

After months of hemming and hawing that would have made even the original “Hamlet on the Hudson” cringe, New York Governor Kathy Hochul has announced that she intends to sign legislation legalizing medically assisted suicide in the state, after demanding a few minor amendments to the version enacted by the state legislature.

The debate also necessarily involves the matter of real-world consequences, making data collection and analysis a crucial part of the discussion, even if they are not ultimately the primary drivers of convictions on so profound a set of questions.

The University of Michigan’s Medical School shockingly picked alumni Jack Kevorkian, who illegally facilitated the assisted suicides of 130 people, as one of its ‘leaders and best.’

In a big victory for life, a federal appeals court ruled the Trump administration can withhold Medicaid dollars from Planned Parenthood locations that provide abortions.
