New National Strategic Partnership Announced to Point Women to Life-Affirming Help
- Details
- By Cogency Strategic
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Cogency Strategic announced the formation of a new strategic partnership with Heartbeat International and the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB), through which a nationwide series of public service announcements (PSAs) will inform women that life-affirming women’s health centers exist.
For the first time, these messages will point women directly to OptionLine.org, the 24/7 bilingual helpline connecting women to thousands of life-affirming women’s health centers across the United States. These national PSAs will reach women at the moment they need help, connecting them to local care and the hope many never knew was available.
Emergency Call to Action for Greenville County
- Details
- By Benton Blount - Chairman of Greenville County Council
I know this is a break from the typical newsletter, but this week, our community learned of the sudden closure of an autism care facility here in Greenville. A shutdown so abrupt that families and staff had less than an hour to respond. It left parents without essential support for their children and left teachers and staff without notice, without pay, and without answers.
You can read the full report here, and thank you to Peyton Furtado for the coverage:

This is a human crisis unfolding in real time, and it requires our immediate attention.

Homicide is the Leading Cause of Death for Pregnant Women in America
- Details
- By Stanton Public Policy Center
WASHINGTON — Stanton Public Policy Center shares that homicide is the leading cause of death for pregnant women in the United States, surpassing all other causes.
Women’s healthcare organization calls for urgent protection of women facing domestic violence, abortion abuse, and homicide during pregnancy.
Homicide (particularly femicide committed by intimate partners) is the leading cause of death for pregnant and postpartum women in the United States, according to national studies. The data underscores a devastating reality: women are at their most vulnerable during a time that should be filled with hope and anticipation.
Saving Greenville’s Farmland: A Common-Sense Path Forward
- Details
- By Benton Blount - Chairman of Greenville County Council
A recent article in the SC Daily Gazette about South Carolina’s Working Farmland Protection Fund inspired me to take a closer look at what Greenville County can do to protect our own farmland. The story highlighted how the state is helping farmers keep their land in production rather than selling to developers, a model that makes sense for a fast-growing county like ours.
After visiting farms across Greenville County over the past few weeks, from Happy Cow Creamery in the south to Famoda Farm in the north, I’ve seen firsthand the dedication, innovation, and grit that define our agricultural community. These visits reinforced what I already knew: we have something worth protecting, and we have a County Council that I believe is ready to get serious about joining these preservation efforts in the coming year.
