SC Gov. Henry McMaster's Response to US Supreme Court Decision
- By SC Gov. Henry McMaster
"Today’s Supreme Court ruling is a resounding victory for the Constitution and for those who have worked for so many years to protect the lives of the most vulnerable among us. By the end of the day, we will file motions so that the Fetal Heartbeat Act will go into effect in South Carolina and immediately begin working with members of the General Assembly to determine the best solution for protecting the lives of unborn South Carolinians."
Christian Medical & Dental Associations Praises Decision from the U.S. Supreme Court
- By Press Release
BRISTOL, Tenn. -- The 16,000-member Christian Medical & Dental Associations (CMDA), which is the nation's largest faith-based professional healthcare association, today praised the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in the landmark Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health case that strikes down the precedents set in both Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, effectively ending the constitutional right to abortion in the United States.
"This is a much-needed victory for life and for healthcare. And, most importantly, it is a much-needed victory for the dignity of our patients and their unborn babies," said CMDA Senior Vice President of Bioethics and Public Policy Jeff Barrows, DO, MA (Ethics), who is an OB/Gyn physician.
In Wake of Supreme Court Ruling on Roe, Birmingham Leaders Say They are 'More Than Ready' for a Post-Roe Alabama
- By CEC For Life
BIRMINGHAM, -- Many pro-life leaders within the Birmingham community are celebrating this morning after the Supreme Court's monumental decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
For decades, Roe has been used to halt legitimate, life-affirming laws passed by state legislatures and voting citizens. Alabama, especially, has felt this battle after passing a constitutional amendment in 2018 that established personhood for children in the womb, followed by passing the Human Life Protection Act in 2019, one of the strongest pro-life laws in the nation.
Fr. Terry Gensemer, a long-time Birmingham pastor and director of Charismatic Episcopal Church for Life offers this statement:
National Black Pro-Life Union: Praise God - Roe is Gone
- By National Black Pro-Life Union
WASHINGTON -- The following is submitted by Day Gardner, President of the National Black Pro-Life Union, she is available for comment:
Praising GOD this morning!
ROE is GONE!
Giving thanks for the long awaited decision of the Supreme Court to finally right their wrongly decided law.
Also, praising GOD for my colleagues, each and every person, group and organization who have worked and lobbied for almost 50 years to stop the bloody slaughter of innocent children.
History has been made today and now our attention must be focused on the individual states.
We truly believe ALL LIFE MATTERS.
Overturning Roe was every bit as important as it was to rid our beautiful country of the institution of slavery.
The engine of the underground railroad -- will continue to roar until the day we see all abortion as a terrible thing of our historical past.
If we stand united against this horrific practice ... we shall overcome this, too!
Day Gardner is the President of the National Black Pro-Life Union headquartered in Washington, DC.

Reversal of Dobbs Case will Save Lives
- By Alveda King
Roe is no more! The Supreme Court justices' reversal of Roe v Wade with the critical Dobbs decision today is a victory for civil rights for the unborn. Sending the discussion of life vs abortion back to the states will help "we the people" on the state level grow to ensure that every unborn baby has the civil right to LIFE. Human dignity begins in the womb!
View Alveda Kings video addressing today's Dobbs decision here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/phq6y7w5irmkpcd/Video%20Jun%2013%2C%209%2056%2016%20AM.mov?dl=0
Today the new civil rights struggle of our time is for "womb equality" and the right to life for the unborn children who are aborted each year. This premise asserts that while we are not colorblind, we see and value the gifts of ethnic diversity. We see every human, born and pre-born, as created in the image and likeness of GOD. All pre-born children should first be given the chance to be born and live flourishing human lives.
Supreme Court Overrules Roe and Casey - Sends Abortion to the States
- By Eagle Forum
Today, almost fifty years after the Supreme Court created a ‘constitutional right’ to abortion in Roe v. Wade, a majority of Justices corrected the erroneous decision stating, “Roe and Casey must be overruled.” The majority decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization declares, “The Constitution makes no reference to abortion, and no such right is implicitly protected by any constitutional provision.” Eagle Forum supports the decision and is thrilled thatRoe v. Wade is in the trash heap of history where it belongs.
Overturned – Roe v. Wade is No Longer the Law of the Land
- By Operation Rescue
WASHINGTON -- This morning, the U.S. Supreme Court issued an opinion in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization case that overturned the 1973 Roe v. Wade and the 1992 Planned Parenthood v. Casey decisions that decriminalized abortion in all 50 states, ending what Justice Byron White called a "an exercise in raw judicial power" that has since resulted in the deaths of over 63 million children in the womb. The vote was 6-3 in favor.
"For the first time in nearly 50 years, Roe is no longer the law of the land. A great injustice has been corrected, and that gives us new hope for our nation and a reason to rejoice," said Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue. "Half the states will now become abortion free and millions of innocent lives will be spared from the barbaric practice of abortion. This is a human rights victory beyond all others and justifies the decades of tireless work by selfless pro-life individuals and organizations, including Operation Rescue, which have worked and prayed for decades for this day."
For the First Time in Almost 50 Years, America is Experiencing the Reality: Abortion on Demand is no Longer the Law of the Land
- By Stanton Healthcare
MERIDIAN, Idaho -- Stanton Healthcare in Meridian, Idaho, will host a news conference at their clinic today, June 24, 2022 at 1 p.m. MT to discuss the overturning of Roe v. Wade and their plans to continue providing quality care for women facing unexpected pregnancies.
The clinic is located at 2176 E. Franklin Rd, Ste 130, Meridian, ID 83642.
This is a watershed moment in American history for human rights, justice and ending abortion violence.
With this decision, the Supreme Court rejects the notion that abortion is a fundamental Constitutional right and now returns power back to the states.

We Must Protect Women’s
- By House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy - The Washington Stand
In 2021, U.S. Olympic wrestler Tamyra Mensah-Stock made history when she took home the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics. When she was asked how it felt to represent the United States on the world stage, she could hardly contain her love of country: “I love representing the USA. I love living there. I love it, and I’m so happy I get to represent USA!”
Tamyra’s victory was a win for America and an example of the remarkable advancements the country has made in women’s sports. It wasn’t until 2004 that women’s wrestling had even become an Olympic sport. Asked how she hoped the win would be received by girls across the country, Tamyra said, “It means that they see someone like themselves on that podium… Showing them just because you’re a female doesn’t mean you can’t accomplish the biggest of goals.”
Benton Blount in County Council District 19 Runoff on Tuesday, June 28th
- By Blenton Blount
First off, I have to say thank you to every person who voted for me in the primary! The outpouring of support was more than I had ever anticipated! It has been a pleasure to meet so many of you, while visiting your homes or businesses, being introduced to you in restaurants, or greeting you and your family on the Swamp Rabbit Trail. From my campaign signs being placed in your yards, to your doors opening when knocked upon, to the countless minutes you have listened to me vocalize my political views and aspirations for District 19, you have supported me, and I feel blessed beyond measure.
Due to the incredible amount of strain that Covid Mandates placed on families, the last thing I wanted to do was follow It up with a desperate plea for contributions to my campaign. So, we decided to take the road less traveled and simply work with the money that God provided, through people who were able and eager to help. Don't get me wrong, I understand the significant value of fundraising, but this seat for me is about giving to the community, not taking.

Voters Back School Choice Bill - Can Lawmakers Get It Across The Finish Line?
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
SC residents generally support using public money to allow children to attend private schools, a South Carolina Policy Council poll shows – and a key negotiator on a related school-choice bill says he’s pushing to get it passed.
It remains to be seen whether the Republican-dominated, 46-member Senate will give final approval to the compromise bill – known as the “Put Parents in Charge Act” – when the Legislature reconvenes Tuesday.
But Sen. Greg Hembree, R-Horry, an attorney who is the Senate Education Committee chairman and a member of the conference committee on the Senate bill, said he’s working with other “legal minds” in the Legislature to find a way.
“It’s not going away; we’re not quitting,” Hembree said when contacted by The Nerve last week after the bill stalled in the Senate. “We are razor close.”
We've Nearly Given Away Our Republic But We Can Get It Back If We Work Now
- By Kat Stansell - American Policy Center
Our Fault, Our Fix!
We’ve allowed ourselves to become dependent on the government by giving them powers that were never meant to be theirs. Our founding documents enumerate certain powers for the federal government. In general, these have to do with taxation, conducting foreign wars, etc. Everything else, including elections, belongs to the states, that is to US!
We have squandered our freedoms by giving over far too much of our lives’ control to Washington, and now we are paying for it. Our beautiful Constitution and Bill of Rights are being torn to shreds, and with it go our freedoms.
In a very brief look backwards, here’s how it happened.
VoterGA Challenges Raffensperger's SOS Primary Results
- By VoterGA
ATLANTA -- VoterGA today announced a challenge for the Republican Secretary of State's (SOS) race in Georgia's May 24, 2022 primary election. All 159 counties are named as Respondents in the contest, that was filed in Spalding County by VoterGA's co-founder Garland Favorito and attorney Todd Harding. Georgia law allows the same charge against multiple counties to be heard in the jurisdiction of one county. The contest alleges the Dominion vote count for the Secretary of State (SOS) race is not accurate and that incumbent SOS, Brad Raffensperger, certified unlawful results when he declared himself the winner of the primary with 52% of the vote in a four-way race including Jody Hice, T.J. Hudson and David Belle Isle.
House & Senate Republicans Introduce Bills to Combat Biden’s Transgender Agenda
- By Eagle Forum
GOP Leaders Protecting Children
The Biden administration has drawn a line in the sand. Last week, the President signed an executive order that will encourage sex-change surgeries for minors, require schools to implement gender ideology in the classroom, and usurp state rights by forcing LGBT language into their housing and healthcare laws. Additionally, the order spreads misinformation about “conversion therapy” by asserting that children “face higher rates of attempted suicide and trauma” when being treated for gender dysphoria. This ideology only serves to confuse the minds and destroy the bodies of vulnerable children.

Pro-religious freedom leaders to meet in Washington, D.C. ahead of the 2022 general election
WASHINGTON -- On Monday, June 27, the National Committee for Religious Freedom will hold their first annual meeting. The national gathering of faith, political, and nonprofit leaders will discuss its plans to support pro-religious freedom members of Congress, educate indifferent members, and work to replace members in the U.S. House and Senate who oppose religious freedom.
The Inconvenient Truth About COVID-19 Relief Scandals
- By Veronique de Rugy
Raise your hand if you're surprised that the trillions of dollars spent on COVID-19 relief gave way to billions of dollars in government waste, fraud and abuses. I'm not, but based on recent reporting, you might think this type of carelessness with taxpayers' money has never before happened. Sadly, such waste and fraud are normal byproducts of most government programs.
Too much focus on waste and fraud misses a more important problem: Lots of the COVID-19 spending that doesn't qualify as wasteful or fraudulent was nonetheless misspent.
U.S. Capitol Police Allow Speaker Stands to be Used for Pro-choice Rallies at the Supreme Court After Telling Pro-life Group They Would Not be Allowed for Their Events
- By Christian Newswire
WASHINGTON -- Rev. Patrick Mahoney, Chief Strategy Officer for the Stanton Public Policy Center, was told by U.S. Capitol Police several weeks ago they would not be allowed to set up speaker stands for their prayer vigils and rallies on 1st Street NE.
Yet this week, the U.S. Capitol Police allowed speaker stands and a sound system to be used for pro-choice protests in front of the Supreme Court.
The group is deeply troubled by the double standard the U.S. Capitol Police are demonstrating as they apply one standard for pro-choice events and a more restrictive standard for pro-life activities; and they are calling for end to discrimination against the pro-life community.
SCOTUS Strikes down Law Excluding Religious Schools
- By Ben Johnson - The Washington Stand
Religious equality and school choice scored a victory at the Supreme Court on Tuesday, as justices ruled that excluding faith-based schools from a state’s private school voucher program “violates the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment.” The court’s conservative-leaning bloc ruled 6-3 that state officials cannot restrict parents’ use of state funds to secular schools.
“The [s]tate pays tuition for certain students at private schools — so long as the schools are not religious. That is discrimination against religion,” wrote Chief Justice John Roberts in the 6-3 opinion.
Fewer than half of all school districts in Maine, the nation’s most rural state with 68% of its schools in rural areas, have established public high schools. Parents in remote areas may use vouchers provided by Maine’s Town Tuitioning Program, created in 1873, at the private school of their choice. But since 1981, the state has denied funds to “sectarian” (religious) schools.
Anti-abortion Leaders State: 'We Demand a 'Dr. Seuss' Ruling: Overturning Roe is NOT Enough'
- By Randall Terry
WASHINGTON -- Overturning Roe is NOT enough.
"We demand a 'Dr Seuss ruling' from the Supreme Court stating that the unborn child is a person from the moment of conception, with full protections under the 5th and 14th Amendments to the Constitution...and that all laws in the 50 states regarding violence against human beings (I.e. persons) be applied to unborn children."
We the People Just Stopped WHO – For Now
- By Kathleen Marquardt - American Policy Center
“We the People” threw a sabot into the machinations of the WHO, the World Health Organization, stopping them from setting up a system that would grossly infringe on our national and individual sovereignty. In January, the Biden administration proposed amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHR) that cover 194 Member States. According to the IHR: “While disease outbreaks and other acute public health risks are often unpredictable and require a range of responses, the International Health Regulations (2005) (IHR) provide an overarching legal framework that defines countries’ rights and obligations in handling public health events and emergencies that have the potential to cross borders.” Overarching means comprehensive, all-embracing, and that, in my opinion, defines their aims exactly – and the reason to get the U.S. out of the WHO and, ultimately, the U.N. if we wish to save this country.
Get US Out! of the UN — Urge Your Congressman to Co-Sponsor H.R. 7806
- By The John Birch Society
URGENT: The American Sovereignty Restoration Act (H.R. 7806) has been reintroduced for the 117th Congress. This bill would fully withdraw the U.S. from the United Nations and its associated entities, thus restoring U.S. national independence. Contact your U.S. representative and senators and urge them to support this bill!
The United Nations is one of the greatest threats to U.S. national sovereignty and the God-given freedoms of Americans. It is imperative that Congress pass and the president enact the American Sovereignty Restoration Act (ASRA), which would fully withdraw the U.S. from the UN and all its associated entities.
Ask Your Senator to Remove Women in Draft from NDAA
- By Eagle Forum
Here we go again. Just six months after several Republican Senators were shamed for putting a provision in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) to force women into the selective service, they did it again. Seven Republicans out of the thirteen GOP members on the Senate Armed Services Committee voted in favor of requiring women ages 18-25 to register for the draft. This unconscionable decision could put our daughters, sisters, and mothers at a deadly risk just so Democrats can tout their “equity” agenda.
Who's on Biden's Parents Council? Al Sharpton, Transgender Activists, and Open Borders Groups
- By Ben Johnson - The Washington Stand
The Biden administration claims it formed the recently unveiled “parents council” to better reflect families’ views in public schools — but its members include Al Sharpton’s community organizing group, activists who lobby to teach “comprehensive sex education” including gender identity theory in school, and open borders groups.
Supporters of the National Parents and Families Engagement Council, announced by Education Secretary Miguel Cardona on June 14, praised the board as “a channel for parents’ voices to be heard.” Yet one look at some of the council’s 14 acknowledged members shows it represents a small segment of elitist, left-wing views. Among the groups that the Department of Education cites as council members are:
Red-Flagging Red-Flag Law Abuse
- By Michelle Malkin
Here we go again. The Beltway Swamp's ineluctable impulse to (Pretend To) Do Something in the wake of a mass school shooting committed by a homicidal maniac has put America on the brink of greenlighting untold civil liberties abuses in the name of "safety." The grandstanding gun-grabbing reflex is a hard habit to break.
Shamefully, 10 zucchini noodle-spined Senate Republicans led by Texas GOP Sen. John Cornyn back a federal gun-control plan that would bribe states to adopt so-called "red-flag" (a.k.a. Extreme Risk Protection Order) laws. These psychological profiling weapons -- now in effect in 19 states -- empower disgruntled strangers, duplicitous family members, biased police and ideologically driven judges to disarm citizens by labeling them mental health threats to themselves and others. Anti-Second Amendment activists cite scientific research like a new University of California, Davis, study as evidence that red-flag laws are "saving lives." But the science is untrustworthy.
Faith and Freedom Go Together
- By Star Parker
Per a new report from Gallup, the percentage of Americans now saying they believe in God is the lowest since they first started doing the survey.
In 2022, 81% of Americans say they believe in God.
When Gallup first asked this question in 1944, 96% said they believed, and in the early 1950s, it was up to 98%. It remained over 90% until 2013, when it dipped down to 87%.
The current 81% is a 6-point drop from the last time Gallup asked the question in 2017.
The Color Guard
- By Anne Schlafly Cori, Eagle Forum Chairman
June 14 is Flag Day, a celebration of our American flag of stars and stripes, which has been in use since June 14, 1777. Our American flag represents the hope and promise of a nation founded on liberty and opportunity for all. The Stars-and-Stripes is an all-inclusive symbol that does not discriminate on the basis of religion, sex, race, national origin, disability, education, or money.
The month of June has been overrun by new flags that seek to divide, not unite, Americans. These colorful flags purposely exclude many people. Called "pride flags", each color attempts to represent a sexual act. There are flags for bisexuals and flags for transgender. Recently, other groups have demanded their own color stripe on the Pride flag, so now the Biden Administration uses a "Progress" flag that includes black and brown stripes. The State Department announced it will allow U.S. embassies and diplomatic outposts to fly the Pride flag on the same flagpole as the U.S. flag at their embassy or consulate.
Democrat Party Will Not Give Up Power
