In one year alone, 642,700 children were killed by abortion pills–including over 200,000 pills delivered in the mail. Thankfully, one key solution is already in place: the Comstock Act of 1873. This long-standing law prohibits mailing obscene materials, including abortion drugs. All President Trump has to do is enforce it. This would immediately block abortion pills from being sent in the mail, even in Democrat states. Stopping mail-order abortions would save thousands of lives and mark a HUGE step forward in our mission to end abortion entirely across America. It’s the most impactful Pro-Life action President Trump could take. Abortion pills are often used when the baby is under 10 weeks old. At this stage, the child already has unique DNA, a heartbeat, brain waves, tiny hands and feet, and every major organ system in place. Plus, 1 in 10 women who take abortion pills ends up in the emergency room. Will you sign our petition today to stand up for preborn babies?

See if you can host aPro-Life retreat Resource Packet Request a retreat at your church Contact Us Students in grades 9-12 will learn about Pro-Life issues in a way that’s engaging and easy to understand—all from a Biblical perspective. They’ll hear personal testimonies, practice talking about abortion so they can change others' minds, and complete a service project to help moms and babies. Of course, they’ll make new friends over games and activities, too! Why a high school retreat? Odds are, there’s a woman in the pews at your church considering abortion. A 2015 survey found 26% of women who had abortions attended church at least once a week at the time of their first abortion. What if we reached them sooner? If we’re going to save lives and change minds, we have to teach young people. The church must disciple students to think Biblically about abortion, and Texas Right to Life is here to help. Our high school retreats will educate students, give them practical resources to help pregnant moms, and equip them to confidently speak the truth in love.

This small team set out just to save babies in their city, but God had bigger plans. Our mission grew, reaching more hearts, changing laws, and rescuing nearly 1,000,000 children. Because of our impact, Texas Right to Life is now a leader in the Pro-Life movement, not just in our state but around the world. The fight to end abortion is unique. Not only do we need to save babies right now, but we also need to change our culture so that people are no longer seen as disposable. That’s why we work in three ways—education, legislation, and advocacy—training Pro-Life students, passing new laws, and winning legal battles to protect preborn babies. How We Work Pass Laws We send full-time advocates to the state Capitol to meet with lawmakers, draft bills, and share expert insight on how preborn children are still aborted today. Learn More Fight for Justice Overturning Roe v. Wade didn’t confirm the Right to Life for unborn babies; it just said that the Constitution doesn’t protect abortion.

Maybe you’ve had tough conversations with friends, family, and coworkers. In those moments, it’s easy to feel unsure of how to clearly explain what you believe and why. Facing emotionally-heavy arguments can be hard, especially when they defend something as serious as taking the Life of an innocent human. Here are five arguments people often use to promote abortion, and some points you can use to respond with the truth. 1. “The fetus isn’t a person yet. ” Some argue that personhood begins at birth, but a unique person is actually present at fertilization. At that moment, your DNA has determined your sex, eye color, hair color, whether you will go bald in 40 years, how tall you will be, and a huge number of other things that make you who you are. Claiming that personhood begins at birth is completely arbitrary. If this is true, we must ask how did a “clump of cells” (as many pro-choice people say) magically turn into a person by passing a few inches through the birth canal? It’s the same baby, just in a different location and environment. Drawing the line at the heartbeat (which can begin as soon as 18 days after fertilization) is arbitrary. Why should this muscle’s functioning determine your personhood? Are people under cardiac arrest not people? As popular as the heartbeat argument is, it is based on emotion and intuition, not science or consistent reason. 2. “My body, my choice. ”... - Published: 2025-12-31 - Modified: 2026-02-19 - URL: https://texasrighttolife.com/adoption/ AdoptionConsidering Adoption? This is a beautiful way to grow your family! There are several routes you can take when considering adopting a child. Types of AdoptionThis is usually facilitated through an adoption agency to connect adoptive families and mothers who wish to select a family to raise their child. Most often, children in these scenarios are newborns. Involves children of all ages who have been removed from homes due to high-risk situations. This often requires families to foster with the goal of adoption, while allowing time and the possibility for the child to be reunited with their biological family when possible. Involves a family member adopting another family member, regardless of age. This may involve an aunt adopting a nephew, grandparents adopting a grandchild, or a step-parent adopting a step-child. This sort of adoption covers various age ranges and is usually facilitated through private adoption agencies within the United States or the country of the adopted child’s nationality. Explore adoption agencies near you here. Adoption Resources in TexasAdoption costs vary widely based on circumstances and the route chosen. Estimates range from around $500 for state adoptions to over $40,000 for private adoptions. There are many resources that can assist families considering adoption, including a federal tax credit, state services, and individual nonprofits. Federal tax credit: Up to $14,890 per child as of 2022, applicable to public and private adoptions but with income limitations. Texas adoption assistance program: Monthly support for adoption of children with special needs, ranging from $400 to... - Published: 2025-12-31 - Modified: 2026-02-13 - URL: https://texasrighttolife.com/emergency-contraception-and-birth-control/ Emergency Contraception & Birth ControlTypes of Birth ControlBreakthrough OvulationDebateOther Organizations’ StancesRationaleTexas Right to Life’s PositionEven within the Pro-Life movement, people have different views about birth control. The Catholic Church teaches strongly against almost all forms of artificial contraception. Other Christian traditions vary in their stances. But many agree on this: Any method that ends a human life after fertilization is wrong. A lot of the debate focuses on hormonal birth control and whether it could cause a very early abortion, making it an abortifacient. Unfortunately, there isn’t enough clear research on how different birth control methods actually work. One complication is that many studies define the start of pregnancy as implantation, not fertilization—so they may overlook anything that happens before a baby attaches to the womb. That’s why there’s so much confusion about how often birth control methods fail and whether those failures could lead to the loss of a fertilized egg (a tiny human being). Below is a summary of the most common types of birth control, how they work, and how that shapes Texas Right to Life’s position. Types of ContraceptionThere are several different types of contraception, each with differing methods of action, which determines their ability to abort a child. Intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUD) Copper-T IUDs This device is placed in the uterus where it releases copper ions and causes an inflammatory reaction in the endometrium (the innermost lining of the uterus). Method of action: release copper to stop sperm from reaching and fertilizing an egg. They... - Published: 2025-12-31 - Modified: 2026-02-13 - URL: https://texasrighttolife.com/planned-parenthood/ Why Pro-Lifers Are Against Planned ParenthoodPlanned Parenthood is the largest abortion business in the nation. People who support the group often say, “But Planned Parenthood does so many other good things! ” Here’s the truth: From its founding even to today, abortion is the core focus of Planned Parenthood. Statistics 370,771 abortions on average per year — that’s one abortion every 85 seconds Only 1 adoption referral for every ~200 abortions 1 in every 5 women who visit Planned Parenthood will have an abortion Planned Parenthood commits over 38. 7% of all abortions in America In 2022-2023, Planned Parenthood assisted over 33,000 women with financial, transportation, and travel support to obtain an abortion. The 3% MythPlanned Parenthood supporters downplay abortion compared to the legitimate health care services it provides. They claim that abortion is only 3% of what the organization does. Even The Washington Post called that statistic misleading. To arrive at that figure, Planned Parenthood counts each service equally, regardless of the patient's reason for visiting, the service's cost, or its extent. If a woman comes in for an abortion and they also give her an ultrasound, blood test, and hand her birth control on the way out, Planned Parenthood considers the abortion as only one “service” of four. It would be like saying that baseball is only . 012% of what Major League Baseball teams do, because they sell about 20 million hot dogs per season but only play 2,430 games. Planned Parenthood’s 3% charade is getting harder... - Published: 2025-12-31 - Modified: 2026-10-07 - URL: https://texasrighttolife.com/euthanasia/ Euthanasia Killing vs. Letting Die Physician-Assisted Suicide Slippery Slope Texas Law Euthanasia Around the World Stories How to Make Medical Decisions The Pro-Life View of Suffering Conclusion The reason we are against abortion is the same reason we’re against euthanasia: It intentionally ends a human life. If a person is valuable at the very beginning of her life, her worth doesn’t fade with time, illness, disability, or pain. People who support euthanasia usually come from a place of compassion. In fact, the word in Greek means “good death” or “easy death. ” Proponents say they don’t want sick or elderly people to suffer. However, euthanasia doesn’t get rid of the suffering; it gets rid of the sufferer. That’s why euthanasia is not just a medical issue—it’s a moral one. How we treat the sick and elderly reflects how we view the Right to Life and human worth. Killing vs. Letting Die When thinking about how to care for ill or dying patients, there’s an important difference between killing or letting die. Being Pro-Life does not mean we’re anti-death. No one can ignore the limits of human life or the reality that every person will die. But just like we don’t get to decide when our lives begin—when we were given indescribable worth and dignity—we aren’t in control of when our lives end, either. We must recognize it is morally acceptable at times to allow a patient to naturally pass away. Letting Die: Involves withholding or withdrawing life-sustaining treatment, such as... - Published: 2025-12-31 - Modified: 2026-03-11 - URL: https://texasrighttolife.com/abortion/ The Truth About AbortionWhen Does Life Begin? When a woman becomes pregnant, the baby growing inside her is already a living human. This little Life begins at fertilization when a sperm and egg meet, creating a new human being with a unique set of DNA. This tiny person will continue to grow and develop until natural death. From the very start, the baby is preparing for Life outside the womb. Sadly, many people today do not recognize the value of Life before birth. Babies in the womb are small, hidden, and vulnerable. Because of this, abortion has become common in our society. Abortion ends a pregnancy by killing a preborn baby. Watch: Baby Olivia – A Look Inside the WombTypes of AbortionThere are two main types of abortion:Chemical Abortion(Abortion Pills)The most common type of abortion in the U. S. is abortion pills. These pills were first approved in 2000 and are now used more than surgical abortions.

One place where this really matters is embryonic stem cell research. Many people don’t realize that this practice actually destroys human lives in their earliest, most vulnerable stage—embryos. When Pro-Lifers argue that Life begins at conception, this includes Life created outside the womb. Embryos created through in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and used in scientific research are no less human and no less valuable than any other person. Their worth comes from their intrinsic human nature, not from their ability—or inability—to survive outside a lab. That’s why we must oppose all life-destroying practices or research. What Are Stem Cells? Think of stem cells as “blank” cells. They can adapt and turn into different types of cells in the body. Stem cells can replace or heal organs, repair tissues, and treat diseases because they respond to any signal the body gives, becoming the exact type of cell a person needs to fix what’s wrong. There are five main types of stem cells: Embryonic stem cells: Always unethical These come from embryos (preborn babies, a few days after fertilization), typically created through in vitro fertilization (IVF). In vitro fertilization happens when scientists put a sperm and egg together outside of the womb, in a lab. To get these embryonic stem cells, scientists must destroy (aka kill) the tiny baby.

Not a single bill that directly stops the destruction of human Life, whether in the womb or hospital, passed the Texas House of Representatives. This failure is reflected in the ratings of legislators on the Pro-Life Scorecard not only on Pro-Life and anti-Life votes, but also through missed opportunities for the Pro-Life movement. Texas Right to Life’s methodology accurately portrays the disappointing nature of the legislative session by placing importance on the Pro-Life priority bills that failed to pass. Basic Methodology: Pro-Lifepriority bills: 6 points for passage (3 for second reading and 3 for third reading)Other life-related bills are 2 points on passage (1 for second reading and 1 for third reading)Amendments are worth 1 point eachExceptions are denoted with an explanation House Bill 1: Amendments 52, 53, and 54 were record votes pertaining to the Alternatives to Abortion program, for which increased funding was a Pro-Life priority. Amendment 52 increased the funding for the program by $52 millionAmendment 53 perfected the increase of Amendment 52Amendment 54 would have decreased the program’s funding For this reason, Amendment 52 is worth 3 points; Amendments 53 and 54 are worth 1 point. Amendment 287 was a Pro-Life amendment that would have prohibited state funding of hospitals that commit elective abortions. As Amendment 287 was in Article XI—meaning the vote was largely procedural—members had to exert extra effort to register opposition to the amendment. For this reason,... - Published: 2019-09-11 - Modified: 2019-09-11 - URL: https://texasrighttolife.com/confirm-subscription/ Thank you! - Published: 2019-09-06 - Modified: 2019-09-06 - URL: https://texasrighttolife.com/thank-you-for-helping-abolish-abortion/ To abolish abortion in Texas, we must attack Roe.

The 10-Day Rule is a provision in the Texas Advance Directives Act (Chapter 166. 046 of the Texas Health & Safety Code) that allows a hospital ethics committee to withdraw basic life-sustaining care, like a ventilator or dialysis, from a patient against her expressed will, her advance directive, or the instruction of her surrogate decision-maker. Ten days after informing the patient or surrogate of the committee’s decision, the hospital can remove basic life-sustaining care from a patient. Committees can withdraw care for any reason and the patient cannot appeal the decision. Even if the patient is conscious, coherent, and actively requests to stay alive, the 10-Day-Rule allows the hospital to overrule the patient’s will. Who are Donald and Carolyn Jones? Donald and Carolyn Jones have been married for 40 years, live in Beaumont, have an adult daughter, and enjoy riding motorcycles and fishing. Carolyn (61-years-old) suffered a stroke in December 2017 and has transferred between different rehabilitation facilities since, landing in Memorial Hermann Southwest in November 2018. Donald has stayed by her side throughout her recovery and setbacks. Why did Memorial Hermann invoke the 10-Day Rule on Carolyn Jones? The hospital is not required to provide a reason for invoking the 10-Day Rule. Such reasons can include non-medical reasons, like financial reasons, discrimination, or subjective quality of life judgments. What is Carolyn’s prognosis?

C. A new study from the Guttmacher Institute shows just how urgent this battle has become. In 2025, an estimated 91,000 abortions were provided nationally through telehealth to women in states with abortion bans, up from 74,000 in 2024. While these numbers are deeply upsetting, they also serve as a wake-up call for national lawmakers to take action.   Will you sign the petition to ban the mailing of abortion pills nationwide? Your prayers and generosity have played a role in every victory, big and small. Texas is beginning to turn the tide in Washington by sending strong Pro-Life leaders.   These numbers make the issue impossible to ignore. No more “well, isn’t it getting better nationally? ” The answer is clearly no. But we can be the change the United States needs to see. An estimated 1,126,000 abortions were conducted by clinicians in the United States in 2025, nearly unchanged from the 1,124,000 provided in 2024 and the highest annual total since 2009, according to new estimates released this spring by the abortion-rights group Guttmacher Institute.

This comes after multiple cases in which patients have suffered through this scenario. Scary, right? Even more frightening... this issue is not limited to Kentucky. In Texas, families have reported similar experiences. We must also work to pass a similar law to protect Texas patients. Earlier this summer in Houston, two-year-old Annalise Camp was hospitalized after a near-drowning and faced a premature brain death declaration.   But what is brain death? A 1968 definition says: A “irreversible coma as a new criterion for brain death,” moving beyond the historic standard of death being determined by the irreversible stopping of the heart. This was coined by the Ad Hoc Harvard Committee from Harvard Medical School. More controversially, this new definition of death developed as doctors began performing more organ transplants. There were not enough donated organs for everyone who needed one. Under the new brain death standard, severely injured patients could be declared dead while their hearts were still beating, allowing doctors to remove their organs for transplant. The ethics of brain death are still debated today. As Texas lawmakers prepare to meet and make new laws in January, they need to strengthen the law so brain death decisions are made carefully, with clear rules, safety measures, and a chance for families to ask questions and seek another review. https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=eMeXEM8fra0 The Organ Donation Pause in... - Published: 2026-10-01 - Modified: 2026-10-01 - URL: https://texasrighttolife.com/what-propublicas-ectopic-pregnancy-story-leaves-out/ Those who support abortion want Pro-Lifers to feel guilty for doing what is right: protecting innocent children. A recent ProPublica article attempts to blame Pro-Life laws for a reported rise in deaths from ectopic pregnancy. This claim is misleading. Texas law clearly allows life-saving care for women, and the real danger to women is being ignored—abortion pills. An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a preborn child implants outside the uterus, most often in the fallopian tube. Sadly, there is no way for the child to survive. In these tragic cases, the situation is not a question of whether the child will live, but whether the mother will face life-threatening complications if not treated. Texas law recognizes this reality. The law allows physicians to act to save the mother’s life. These cases are not considered abortion because the intent is not to end the life of the child, but to preserve the life of the mother. Even before the fall of Roe v. Wade, Texas clarified that treatment for ectopic pregnancy and miscarriage is not abortion. In 2025, Texas passed the Life of the Mother Act to further reinforce these protections. The law clarified that doctors do not need to wait until a condition becomes immediately life-threatening, and expanded the definition of ectopic pregnancy. If a serious risk is foreseeable, physicians are allowed to act. It also ensured that doctors and hospital legal teams are trained to properly apply the law. Despite these clear protections, ProPublica claims that confusion in the law... - Published: 2026-10-01 - Modified: 2026-10-01 - URL: https://texasrighttolife.com/important-register-to-vote-by-october-5/ Monday, October 5 is the last day to register to vote in the November 2026 General Election!   Babies depend on you to stop abortion, and your vote this November is an important part of that.

This video depicts a woman walking into Hobby Lobby, surrounded by Bible verses and children's room décor depicting Jesus. Crosses, devotionals, everything. She then walks into the bathroom to enact a satanic “abortion ritual,” where she chants ritualistic phrases, takes the abortion pill to deliver her baby, passes her child while smiling on the toilet, and flushes the child. She then walks out with clips of the Christian merchandise throughout the store set on fire. https://youtu. be/LsfXp0R1YMA? si=a1-AVH6vnm5Skv2T After aborting her child, she returns to her own reflection and reads an affirmation that echoes the liturgy of the Eucharist: “By my body, my blood, by my will, it is done. ” Yes, you read that right.

Sometimes, that “yes” changes a campus. Sometimes, it leads to a lifelong calling. And sometimes, it even leads to finding the person you’ll spend the rest of your life with. For Kaden Harman, the Dr. Joseph Graham Fellowship did all three. Kaden first became involved in the Pro-Life movement during his freshman year at Stephen F. Austin State University with Lumberjacks for Life. But Kaden wanted more. That’s where the Dr. Joseph Graham Fellowship came in. Through the Fellowship, Kaden received in-depth training on Pro-Life issues, learned how to defend Life, and was equipped to compassionately speak with women facing unexpected pregnancies. Just as importantly, he found a community of students and mentors who encouraged him to be courageous. “The Fellowship was pivotal in forming me as an effective Pro-Life advocate and leader,” Kaden says. And that impact didn’t end when he graduated. After earning his degree in piano performance from SFA, Kaden stayed involved with Texas Right to Life. He returned to help train new Fellows, sharing the lessons he learned with the students who followed in his footsteps. He also continued speaking to churches and college Pro-Life groups about abortion, bioethics, campus ministry, and the role men can play in defending Life. As a pianist, Kaden also found a way to combine one of his greatest talents with his passion for saving babies from abortion.

She felt God calling her to the Pro-Life movement. As she grew as a leader in the campus club, Pro-Life Aggies, she knew she needed more than passion. If she was going to really change the culture at Texas A&M, she needed a mentor and a community that had been in her shoes before. That's why she joined Texas Right to Life's Dr. Joseph Graham Fellowship. Through the Fellowship, Katherine received one-on-one guidance, attended in-depth Pro-Life trainings, and became part of a network of hundreds of past and present college Pro-Life leaders. After graduating, Katherine continued her journey by joining Texas Right to Life's Pro-Life Graduate Fellowship while earning her law degree at the University of Texas at Austin. There, she received additional training and started the Pro-Life club at UT Law, Texas Law Students for Life. Today, Katherine represents the State of Texas as a lawyer at the Texas Office of the Attorney General, where she often works on Pro-Life cases. She helps enforce the state's Pro-Life laws in court and goes on the offense against criminal abortion activists. Katherine worked on a lawsuit against the City of San Antonio after officials dedicated $100,000 in tax money to pay for women to leave the state to get abortions. She also blasted abortion pill companies with cease-and-desist letters for illegally shipping abortion pills to Texas.

The vote came after the death of 18-year-old Alexis “Lexi” Arguello of Fort Collins, who never returned home from a Planned Parenthood appointment at 22 weeks pregnant in February of that year.   Lexi’s heartbreaking story is a clear reminder that abortion is not only deadly to babies in the womb, but dangerous to the women who seek them. Lexi was months away from graduating from Arvada West High School. She loved reading, excelled in AP English, and had plans for her future. When she became pregnant, she sought an abortion at a Planned Parenthood facility in Fort Collins. Complications followed. Paramedics were called under a “silent siren” practice, meaning no lights or sirens were used to protect the abortion giant from public scrutiny, delaying the sense of urgency that typically accompanies a medical emergency.   By the time Lexi reached the hospital, her condition was critical. Testimony before the HHS committee described unstable vitals and dangerously low oxygen levels. Doctors determined she suffered an amniotic fluid embolism associated with the abortion procedure, a rare but often fatal complication. Lexi’s official cause of death was complications from a second-trimester abortion.   In the days, weeks, and months following Lexi’s... - Published: 2026-08-20 - Modified: 2026-08-20 - URL: https://texasrighttolife.com/from-first-cell-to-first-cry-the-story-of-life-in-the-womb/ From a single cell to a newborn child, human development is a continuous story—one that begins long before a mother feels her baby’s first kick.   This reality is foundational to protecting Life. Modern science affirms that the baby in the womb is not something that becomes human later, but is fully human from fertilization. The child is the same human being from the very beginning, simply growing, developing, and maturing over time. Understanding Age in the Womb It is important to distinguish between gestational age and fetal age: Gestational age (the common “40 weeks”) is measured from the mother’s last menstrual cycle. Fetal age begins at fertilization, when the child actually comes into existence. Because this article focuses on the child’s development, we use fetal age. This graphic is based on gestational age. First Trimester: Life Begins and Takes Shape The first trimester is a time of extraordinary formation, where every major system of the body begins. Week 1: At fertilization, a unique human organism is formed. This single cell, called a zygote, contains a complete set of DNA (determining hundreds of traits like hair and eye color, race, and gender) and immediately begins developing in a coordinated way. Week 2: The child, now called a blastocyst, travels to the uterus and implants, continuing rapid growth. Week 3: Distinct cell layers begin forming, which will develop into all organs and tissues. The heart begins beating. Week 4: The neural tube forms, becoming the early foundation of the brain and... - Published: 2026-08-12 - Modified: 2026-08-12 - URL: https://texasrighttolife.com/surrogate-baby-saved-texas-court-orders-important-surgery/ A Texas judge stepped in to save an unborn surrogate child whose intended parents tried to abort him or deny him a life-saving surgery if born. Tuesday's ruling comes after McKenna West, a surrogate mother from Alaska, fled to Texas to save Baby Gabriel when the intended parents attempted to force her to abort their son due to his serious but treatable heart condition. West refused to end the child's life and offered to adopt Baby Gabriel, but the parents disagreed. “Every life matters,” West said in a statement. “No woman should be forced to end the life of the baby she is carrying—including me. ” She then traveled to Texas, where the unborn child would be recognized as a person and where she could give birth near experienced doctors who treat children with serious heart conditions. The parents then stated that if he is born, they would not consent to give Baby Gabriel the life-saving surgery he needs, and they may attempt to transport him out of Texas to prevent treatment. That raised an urgent question: What happens if Baby Gabriel is born in Texas and needs immediate surgery to survive, but the adults claiming authority over him refuse the procedure and leave him to die? Attorney General Ken Paxton’s office asked a Dallas County judge to address that question before the baby is born. Praise God: The court agreed to protect Baby Gabriel, ordering life-saving care upon birth and blocking him from being removed from Texas except when... - Published: 2026-08-07 - Modified: 2026-08-07 - URL: https://texasrighttolife.com/naomi-wick/ What if one decision in college changed the rest of your life? What if filling out one application this semester led you to make an impact across Texas for years to come? That's exactly what happened to Naomi Wick. A few years ago, Naomi was just a college student with a heart for defending Life. She applied to Texas Right to Life's Dr. Joseph Graham Fellowship, where she was trained, mentored, and challenged to boldly stand for preborn babies on her campus. She had no idea where God would take her. Today, Naomi serves as the Executive Assistant at the Pregnancy Center of the Coastal Bend, which just opened an incredible new location in Corpus Christi. And not just anywhere. It's less than a mile from the Texas A&M University–Corpus Christi campus. In fact, there's only one road onto the island, meaning thousands of students and visitors drive right past the pregnancy center every single day. Every day, women facing unexpected pregnancies pass a place filled with hope instead of fear. A place where they can receive a free ultrasound.   A place where moms and dads can find compassionate counseling. A place where families can receive diapers, baby clothes, and everything they need to welcome their little one. A place with a prayer room where every wall is covered with anonymous requests from people carrying unimaginable burdens, reminding everyone who walks in that no one is alone. This is what building a culture of Life looks like. And Naomi... - Published: 2026-08-07 - Modified: 2026-08-10 - URL: https://texasrighttolife.com/billy-gibula/ You don’t have to be an attorney, politician, or work for a nonprofit to make a difference for moms and babies at risk of abortion. Billy Gibula shows you can change lives right where God plants you. Billy first discovered his passion for the Pro-Life movement in high school after attending the March for Life in Washington, D. C. He sensed God calling him to do more, even though he had no idea what that would eventually look like. When Billy started college at the University of Dallas, he looked for ways to put that calling into action. That's when he became one of the very first students in Texas Right to Life's Dr. Joseph Graham Fellowship in 2008. The Fellowship connected Billy with mentors, practical training, and a community of students who shared his commitment to saving moms and babies from abortion. Instead of simply learning about the Pro-Life movement, he was challenged to grow as a leader. Billy served as president of Crusaders for Life at the University of Dallas, a group still active to this day. One of Billy’s favorite projects with the group was “Hundreds Day. ” Each semester, the Crusaders for Life gathered more than 100 students on a Saturday morning to pray outside an abortion facility. They sang hymns, read scripture, and inspired women to choose Life instead of walking inside the abortion clinic. Those experiences taught Billy something that has stayed with him ever since: Ordinary people, working together, can make an extraordinary... - Published: 2026-08-06 - Modified: 2026-08-06 - URL: https://texasrighttolife.com/2-year-old-annelise-camp-passes-away-after-brain-death-battle/ Please join us in praying for the Camp family after their 2-year-old daughter, Annelise, passed away this week. The young girl nearly drowned on Memorial Day and landed in the hospital with a serious brain injury. Immediately, doctors wanted to give up, stop treatment, and declare her “brain dead. ” Annelise wasn’t brain dead (she responded to light, she could digest food, and her body functioned and responded), but Texas law put all the power in the hands of the hospital. A court order in May protected her from harmful brain death tests, kept her ventilator on so she could breathe, and gave her family more time to find a different facility to care for her. This victory gave the Camp family two extra months with Annelise and provided her a chance to recover from her injury. We were honored to stand with her family to ensure her life was not cut short by doctors rushing to declare her “brain dead. ” Still, this loss is heartbreaking. Her grandfather wrote: “The Psalms say, ‘the days of our lives are in His hands. ’ What great promise, comfort and hope those words are to any Christian while facing the death of a family member... especially a young child as she was. ” “Thank you all for your prayers. Not only for her, but for her dear family: Johnston and Joy (her parents), and for her siblings, too. ” Please continue praying for this family as they grieve over their beautiful girl.... - Published: 2026-08-05 - Modified: 2026-08-05 - URL: https://texasrighttolife.com/frozen-embryos-are-children-trump-admin-says/ In an effort to raise awareness about embryo adoption, the U. S. government officially recognized unborn children as human beings. It’s a seemingly small wording change to an old grant program, but leftists are calling the move “a dramatic escalation of the Trump administration’s pursuit of fetal personhood. ” What happens next? Will it change Trump’s inaction on abortion? Will this pave the way for unborn children to be nationally protected by the Constitution? It all started in June when the Trump administration invited nonprofits and other organizations to earn federal funding by promoting embryo adoption. This isn’t new. President George W. Bush created the Embryo Adoption Awareness and Services grant in 2002 to give some unborn babies created in IVF a second chance instead of being killed or frozen indefinitely. This time, however, the Department of Health and Human Services raised eyebrows when it published its new proposal. Throughout the document, the department correctly and consistently called frozen embryos “children. ” Most of the time, these applications use clinical terms that make unborn human beings sound like clumps of cells or “icy, microscopic biological material in a test tube,” as The Guardian puts it. But the Trump administration asserted that frozen embryos are "children who already exist... " No ambiguity. No whitewashing. Just the facts: Human embryos are human beings. While the document itself doesn’t make a big difference, the language is significant. Recognizing human embryos as children is a step toward protecting human embryos as children. Then comes... - Published: 2026-08-05 - Modified: 2026-08-05 - URL: https://texasrighttolife.com/university-garden-features-plants-used-to-induce-abortions/ A liberal New York university is under fire after a student-run campus garden began promoting plants historically used to induce abortions. Purchase College, a public university in southeastern New York, is home to a "Reproductive Justice Garden" that features herbs known for their abortifacient properties. While organizers describe the garden as educational, its social media posts appear to encourage students to harvest these plants, raising concerns about the message being sent to young women facing an unexpected pregnancy. A September 2024 post from the garden's Instagram account highlights an herb, stating that enslaved black women would use the “flower as an abortifacient" and that "by drinking the seeds, leaves, or flowers of the plant in tea-form, enslaved women could induce a miscarriage. " Another post offers instructions on how students can harvest and "collect from the garden. " A map of the garden also labels a large section for "abortifacient" plants. Other sections are dedicated to "pregnancy/gestation," "mental health," and "menstruation. " No matter how the garden is described, encouraging students to collect plants associated with killing babies in the womb is terrible. College can already be an overwhelming time, especially for women who find themselves unexpectedly pregnant. Instead of helping scared women, projects like this make abortion seem like the obvious answer. Herbal abortions are far from harmless. Not only can they lead to a dead child, but a mother as well. These plants can vary greatly in strength, making it impossible to know a safe dose.

This statewide tool connects women and families to pregnancy resource centers, adoption agencies, maternity homes, and Pro-Life clinics that provide care during and after pregnancy. If you or someone you know is an expecting mother or a new parent seeking support, this map was made for you! Pregnancy resource centers exist to provide free resources to expecting and post-partum mothers, as well as counsel and support to fathers. This includes emotional support, post-partum counseling, and parenting support. They also provide necessities like diapers, baby clothes, and infant formula.   Adoption agencies exist to connect expecting mothers with vetted, loving adoptive families at no cost to the mother. Mothers are free to choose their level of contact with their children and select an adoptive family they trust. Pro-Life clinics offer a variety of services, including free options counseling, STD/STI testing, ultrasounds, screening for ectopic pregnancies, and more. They also offer prenatal and postnatal support and medical referrals to help mothers navigate pregnancy safely and with confidence, regardless of their ability to pay for services.   Maternity homes provide a safe place for mothers and their children seeking shelter from unstable and abusive situations.   Together, these providers form a strong safety net for mothers, fathers, and families across Texas.

Usha and the baby are happy and healthy, and our kids are overjoyed to meet their little brother,” Vice President J. D. Vance and his wife wrote Sunday. The newest member of the Vance family joins siblings Ewan, 9, Vivek, 6, and Mirabel, 4. The birth has drawn national attention not only because Alec is the son of the vice president, but also because large families have become increasingly uncommon in America. According to federal data, the nation's fertility rate has fallen to historic lows, with women averaging fewer children than previous generations. Vice President Vance has frequently spoken about the importance of supporting families and welcoming children. During the 2025 March for Life, he declared, “I want more babies in the United States of America. ” https://www. youtube. com/live/FZFSmE5acro? si=8eXhktUHB_2Ge6tR His growing family reflects that commitment. For many Americans, they cannot understand the gift that a larger family can hold. This is not widely seen or a part of our culture. Plus, the media plays a role in making larger families seem “too chaotic” or “burdensome. ” However, scripture repeatedly describes children as blessings from God. “Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward.

They argue that abortion is necessary to save a mother’s life and warn that women will die because physicians are too afraid of legal consequences to intervene. In short, they claim abortion bans sacrifice mothers to protect their children. These claims are simply untrue and ultimately create public confusion, which actually leads to women being afraid to seek care or doctors being unnecessarily nervous about providing legal life-saving care.   Earlier this year, the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), a decidedly left-leaning publication, admitted that “from 2018–2023, no significant overall increase in pregnancy-associated mortality was found in ban vs. non-ban states. ”  In every state with Pro-Life laws, including Texas, medical providers are allowed to act to save a mother’s life when it is at risk. Under Texas law, an abortion is defined as the intentional ending of a preborn child’s life. This definition explicitly excludes treatment for miscarriage, where the child has already died. Here, the baby has tragically passed away naturally and must be removed. This is not like elective abortion, which involves killing and removing a living child. The definition also excludes efforts intended to save the life of the unborn child or to treat ectopic pregnancy. Since these forms of medical care are not legally considered abortions, they are not restricted by Texas Pro-Life laws.

While countries around the globe celebrate the incredible athletic achievements displayed on the field, the World Cup also provides an opportunity to reflect on the values and priorities that shape each nation. We see a big contrast beyond the field: The United States is far behind many countries when it comes to protecting babies from abortion. (You’ll be surprised at how we rank. ) A few World Cup competitors have some of the strongest laws in the world defending preborn children: Brazil, Ecuador, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Haiti and more. Abortion is illegal in these nations except in extremely limited circumstances, like when the mother’s life is at risk or in serious medical emergencies. (However, it’s worth noting that some of these countries are hostile to human rights in other ways. ) Most nations competing in the World Cup protect babies from abortion when they’re developed enough to survive outside the womb (viability). France, Germany, Japan, and England all allow abortion early in pregnancy and only recognize the child’s Right to Life in the late second or early third trimesters. France defends babies at around 16 weeks into pregnancy, or when the baby’s heart has been beating for 13 weeks. The United States falls into the most extreme camp of all: Countries with little to no national restrictions on abortion.

If you are a survivor, please know that what happened to you was wrong. You deserved to be safe, and you deserve compassion, support, and the opportunity to heal. Rape is one of the most devastating acts of violence a person can endure. Survivors deserve justice, protection, and people who will walk beside them with understanding and care. When a pregnancy results from such a traumatic experience, it can bring overwhelming fear, confusion, grief, and uncertainty. Many women imagine pregnancy as a time shared with a loving husband and family. Facing pregnancy in the aftermath of violence can feel incredibly lonely and painful. As Christians, we are called to respond to people in these situations with compassion. We should be the first to offer practical help, emotional support, community, counseling, and encouragement. Women who have experienced sexual assault should never have to carry their burdens alone. Far too often, abortion is presented as a solution to the violence of rape. However, it cannot undo what happened or erase the trauma. The assault itself was an act of violence. Abortion ends the life of a child and introduces another loss into an already heartbreaking situation. Abortion does not heal the wound of rape. Abortion is itself a form of violence.

Their story is told in a new documentary from the Center for Medical Progress called What Happened to Clementine? The film features interviews with Clementine's father, Tommy Kearns, and her mother, who has chosen to remain anonymous. According to the documentary, Clementine was about five months old and still had a heartbeat when the abortion process began. Doctors who reviewed the medical records say the clinic did not give the injection that is commonly used to end a baby's life before a second-trimester abortion. https://youtu. be/-U9BVcx0i4s? si=0YpEN9lRRYMxpR9R Instead, Clementine's mother was given medication to induce labor. The documentary alleges that Clementine may have been delivered intact rather than removed through a standard abortion procedure. Now, more than two years later, her parents say they still do not know exactly what happened to their daughter. Kearns says the uncertainty has been heartbreaking.

During a recent speech, California Representative Lateefah Simon criticized the Supreme Court, Republicans, and Pro-Life laws across the country. "The Supreme Court is leading this country into the mud," Simon said. She went on to say, "The Democrats are out of touch, the Republicans are klansmen... " But her most heartbreaking comments came when discussing abortion. "There is over 20 states right now where women can't access the right to abortion. We have to create underground railroads," Lateefah said. https://twitter. com/BreitbartNews/status/2061421339198521447? s=20 The phrase "underground railroad" is a reference to the network that helped enslaved people escape to freedom before the Civil War. Simon used the term to describe efforts to help women travel from Pro-Life states to states where abortion remains legal. Her comments highlight just how far some abortion advocates are willing to go to promote the killing of babies in the womb. Approximately 1. 14 million abortions took place in the United States in 2024, according to the Guttmacher Institute. To put that number into perspective, that's more people than the entire populations of Wyoming, Vermont, Alaska, North Dakota, or South Dakota. Every year, over one million unborn children lose their lives to abortion. Yet anti-Life advocates continue to argue that what America needs is easier access to kill babies.

Instead of investing in more care, support, and hope for people who are suffering, the Canadian government legalized assisted suicide through a program called Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID). From the beginning, it was presented as a “last resort” for people with serious illnesses — treating death as the answer to suffering instead of offering true compassion, care, and support. But nearly ten years later, the program has expanded far beyond that. Today, people with disabilities, chronic illnesses, loneliness, and even mental health struggles are increasingly being offered death instead of real help and support. And the numbers continue to rise: Ontario’s latest MAID report showed a 7. 2% increase in euthanasia deaths from 2024 to 2025. Analysts estimate that about 17,650 Canadians died through euthanasia in 2025 alone. Across Canada, MAID deaths rose another 6. 9% between 2024 and 2025. Since the program began, more than 94,000 Canadians have died through euthanasia. At the current pace, Canada is expected to surpass 100,000 euthanasia deaths in 2026. These numbers are alarming; assisted suicide is no longer rare in Canada. In fact, about 1 in every 20 deaths now happens through euthanasia. Story continues below.

This policy treated suffering people as if death were the solution instead of care and support. Now, the program is increasingly being offered to patients before any effort is made to treat them. One troubling example is the story of 84-year-old Miriam Lancaster.   Miriam was rushed by ambulance to Vancouver General Hospital after waking up with excruciating back pain. Scared and in agony, she expected doctors to focus on diagnosing the source of her pain. Instead, the first thing she remembers hearing was a young female doctor saying, “I would like to offer you MAID. ” MAID is Canada’s physician-assisted suicide program, which allows doctors or nurse practitioners to give patients drugs that end their lives. The law includes rules meant to protect patients, such as voluntary consent, approval from two independent medical professionals, and rules about who qualifies for serious medical conditions. However, these safeguards are insufficient given how quickly and frequently assisted suicide is being offered to patients.   https://youtu. be/gAkXNcfNemc? si=TBz3JQ7vNEVfuufr Eventually, Miriam was transferred to another Hospital, where doctors discovered the true source of her pain: a tiny crack in the lower part of her spine/pelvis. Although surgery was not possible, she was prescribed bed rest and physical exercises for three weeks. In time, she recovered enough to return home.   Looking back on the experience, Miriam later reflected, “Oh, I’ve been... - Published: 2026-05-19 - Modified: 2026-05-19 - URL: https://texasrighttolife.com/switzerland-allows-assisted-suicide-inside-hospitals-and-nursing-homes/ Assisted suicide is moving into nursing homes and hospitals in Lucerne, Switzerland. Previous protections banned this practice; however, supporters fought it in the name of “self-determination. ” Lucerne parliament member Sara Muff introduced a plan arguing that people should have access to assisted suicide no matter where they live or receive care. The policy passed 87 to 27. This decision marks another major shift in Switzerland’s approach to physician-assisted dying. Zurich was the first city to require all care homes to provide assisted suicide, and other regions are now beginning to follow suit. What was once unthinkable is steadily becoming normalized.   Hospitals and nursing homes were not designed to intentionally hasten a patient’s death. Hospitals exist to heal and care for the sick. Nursing homes exist to support the elderly and vulnerable in their daily lives. Turning these institutions into places where death is offered as a solution undermines their very purpose.   Doctors also have a duty to protect Life. The medical profession is grounded on an oath of care, compassion, and healing, not on hastening death. Policies like this devalue human dignity and send the message that some lives are no longer worth living.   Assisted suicide is framed as a compassionate choice, but true compassion does not eliminate the person who is suffering. The growing acceptance of this practice reflects a deeper misunderstanding of human life and dignity.   Story continues below.

The site, Moms. gov, includes a map of pregnancy resource centers, information about healthy pregnancies and nutrition, and free online parenting and family resources.   For years, the abortion industry has tried to convince women that abortion is their only real option during an unexpected pregnancy. This new resource takes a different approach. Instead of pointing women toward abortion, it connects them with support, encouragement, and practical help. Every mother deserves to know she is not alone. Every family deserves access to resources that protect babies instead of ending their lives. Pregnancy resource centers across the nation have spent decades doing exactly that by offering counseling, baby supplies, parenting classes, ultrasounds, and emotional support to women who feel scared or overwhelmed.

However, this ruling is an early sign that the court will side with the FDA, in favor of abortion pills. The case began in 2023 after Joe Biden’s Food and Drug Administration weakened safety standards on abortion pills, allowing the drugs to be prescribed online and sent in the mail. Louisiana then sued the FDA. If the FDA wins when the final outcome is decided, nothing would change. If the Pro-Life side ultimately wins, it could save thousands of babies and protect vulnerable women. However, no matter what the court does, this lawsuit isn’t the Pro-Life movement’s only way to stop mail-order abortions. President Donald Trump could immediately order the FDA to restore the in-person requirement, reduce the timeframe that the drugs are allowed for use, or even revoke approval of the abortion pill altogether.

FDA Commissioner Marty Makary resigned Tuesday after months of pressure from Pro-Life leaders who wanted stronger action against abortion pills. Makary led the FDA for just over a year. During his time in office, the agency not only neglected to restore stronger restrictions on the abortion pill mifepristone, but it also approved a new drug that kills preborn babies. Pro-Life Americans had hoped the Trump administration would take bold action to stop abortion pills from being mailed across the country. Instead, Makary’s FDA kept the following Biden and Obama-era policies in place: Abortion pills are allowed to be taken up to 10 weeks in pregnancy instead of 7. Abortionists can send pills in the mail, instead of requiring an in-person appointment.   Abortion pill injuries only have to be reported by doctors and hospitals if the woman dies. Now, the man temporarily taking over is even more alarming. New Acting FDA Commissioner Once Represented Planned Parenthood Commissioner Kyle Diamantas previously worked as an attorney for Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion business. Court records show Diamantas represented Planned Parenthood of Greater Orlando in a Florida Supreme Court case in 2017.

People ask AI questions about recipes, health, relationships, school, finances, and even major decisions. According to Pew Research Center, 74% of Americans ages 18 to 29 use AI at least a few times a week. Among adults ages 30 to 49, 67% do the same. That means the majority of people in their childbearing years are turning to AI regularly for information and advice. Why does that matter to the Pro-Life movement? Because the abortion industry has noticed it too. Groups that support abortion are now openly discussing ways to train artificial intelligence systems to promote abortion as the answer to unplanned pregnancy. One organization, Plan C, even bragged in its annual report about working to influence how AI platforms answer questions about abortion. They explained that AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI are changing how people search for abortion information. They also said they are actively working with companies and websites to improve what they call “abortion answers” across these platforms. In other words, they understand something very important: whoever shapes the information people receive can shape the decisions people make. That should concern every Pro-Life American.

Supreme Court issued a temporary order Monday allowing abortion pills to continue being sent in the mail nationwide. The one-sentence decision from Justice Samuel Alito paused a lower court ruling from Friday that required an in-person appointment for all abortions in America.  Alito asked the FDA and the State of Louisiana to file briefs by Thursday. Then, the full court will determine how to proceed. This case came after Joe Biden’s Food and Drug Administration loosened safeguards on abortion pills in 2023, prompting a lawsuit from Louisiana.

The ruling takes effect immediately but is expected to be reviewed soon by the U. S. Supreme Court. The Pro-Life victory means that all abortions in the U. S. will once again require an in-person appointment, rather than abortionists sending pills by mail. This important safeguard was removed by Joe Biden’s Food and Drug Administration in 2023, prompting a lawsuit from Louisiana. If the Supreme Court upholds the Pro-Life ruling, it could save thousands of babies and protect vulnerable women. Democratic states that allow abortion up to birth will have to enforce another step before dispensing the deadly pills. Pro-Life states like Texas that ban abortion will also see an impact.

But with stronger FDA regulations, these activists can’t rely on pro-abortion “Shield laws” to hide from accountability. They could lose their licenses, face huge fines, and risk criminal penalties.

And it’s disturbing. In the video, an IVF mom encourages other “IVF moms” to let their first child pick the gender of their next sibling. A toddler is shown choosing between two cookies, both pink, labeled “11” and “12. ” It’s framed like something cute or funny. Just a kid picking a cookie. But the meaning behind it runs a lot deeper than that. https://twitter. com/J_K_Wood/status/2049196465319293298? s=20 Commentator Josh Wood pointed out that in IVF, multiple embryos are often created at once, and not all of them end up being implanted. Some are frozen. Some are killed. So in a situation like this, what’s being casually turned into a “choice” between cookies is, in reality, tied to which children get a chance at life and which don’t. That choice should never be in a person’s hands, let alone a toddler. Imagine the pain he could feel growing up, realizing he was the one who decided which of his siblings got to live and which were frozen indefinitely or killed.

"This is when the cervix is dilated and a strong suction, 29 times the power of a household vacuum cleaner, tears the baby’s body apart and sucks it through the hose into a container.

She was told that if she wanted to treat the massive tumors growing inside her body, she would need to kill her preborn baby. Brionna was expecting her second child when doctors said it was time to remove multiple large fibroids, noncancerous tumors pressing against her uterus and organs. Together, they weighed a staggering 27 pounds. The recommendation she received was direct: abortion, followed by a hysterectomy. https://youtu. be/_nwmCVX3byY? si=9JfaCspLu8tpC2cU Johnson was first diagnosed with fibroids, a condition that can cause severe pain, pressure, and other complications, in October 2024. For over a year, she searched for answers, visiting different doctors and trying natural approaches to manage her symptoms. Then in December 2025, she found out she was pregnant. As her baby grew, so did the physical toll. The fibroids caused intense pain and made it difficult for her to walk. Concerned for her health and the safety of her child, she went back to the doctor looking for help that would protect both of them. Instead, she was told her baby’s life would have to end.

What followed was not just a battle against disease, but a fight for her very dignity. Living in Canada, Kristin says doctors told her her only option was physician-assisted suicide. Instead of offering aggressive treatment or hope, she was allegedly told that her condition was terminal and that procedures like HIPEC surgery would not save her life. Rather than honoring her life, the system presented her with a devastating alternative: end her life early instead of pursuing further care. But Kristin and her husband, Donovan, refused to accept that answer. Determined to fight for her life, the couple made a bold decision. They arranged to travel to the United States, searching for doctors who would be willing to treat her. In Seattle, they found that hope. Doctors quickly moved forward with HIPEC surgery and chemotherapy—treatment options they had been told would not help. Those treatments saved her.

Born with a serious congenital heart defect called hypoplastic right heart syndrome, his life depended on a complex surgery. In 2022, on the day of that procedure, something heartbreaking happened. There was no parent, no familiar face, and no one there to comfort him. Anesthesiologist Dr. Amy Beethe found him sitting quietly in pre-op care. She shared how it broke her heart that he was alone without any adults by his side. True himself said he had no idea why.

But that didn’t happen here. When a woman said she was stockpiling Plan B for her six-year-old daughter, not a single person on the panel challenged it. A recent episode of 1A, titled “The State of Abortion Access in 2026,” explored how the country has changed since the U. S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022. The podcast promised a panel discussion with experts on abortion, legal implications, and the “dangers of Pro-Life laws” on families. To start the show, a caller from Alabama described the fear and uncertainty she faces raising children in a state with strong protections for babies in the womb. She shared that she urged her husband to undergo a vasectomy, explaining that pregnancy in her state is “too dangerous. ” Because of Pro-Life laws, the family has considered leaving Alabama entirely and plans to encourage their children to attend college elsewhere. Then, a text message read on the show captured just how deep this anxiety has become: “My daughter is six. I’ve stockpiled Plan B medications for her just in case. Will they be expired by the time she needs them? Probably. But at least she will have something. ” The idea that a parent feels compelled to prepare abortion-related drugs for a child not yet in adolescence reflects a culture shaped by fear, misunderstanding, and worst-case scenarios.

But that’s no longer the case. Today, a major shift has taken place: Abortion pills are now the most common way babies are killed in the United States. In fact, they make up more than half of all abortions each year. And unlike before, these pills can now be sent through the mail, often without an in-person doctor visit. That’s a huge change from how things used to work. Recently, Missouri Senator Josh Hawley introduced a new bill, the Safeguarding Women from Chemical Abortion Act, that aims to push back on this shift. His proposal would ban abortion pills nationwide and allow women to sue the companies that make them if they are harmed. Senator Hawley spoke about his bill at a press conference, stressing the growing threat of abortion pills to women. “The science is clear: the abortion drug is inherently dangerous to women and prone to abuse. Yet major companies like Danco Laboratories are making billions off it,” said Senator Hawley. “That’s why I am introducing new legislation to ban the use of mifepristone for abortion and empower women to sue its manufacturers. Congress must act now to protect the health and safety of women. ” Abortion pills now account for over half of the one million abortions that abortionists perform in the United States each year, making them one of the greatest threats to human Life in America.   Chemical abortions have driven national abortion numbers even... - Published: 2026-04-01 - Modified: 2026-04-01 - URL: https://texasrighttolife.com/mom-and-dad-surrender-to-jesus-in-conversation-with-pro-life-scholarship-recipient/ The Pro-Life movement has always been about saving babies—and also about restoring Life in its fullest sense for mothers, fathers, and families. That means caring not just for the child in the womb, but also for the parents standing in the middle of fear, pressure, and uncertainty. When a child is saved but the parents still feel hopeless, something is still missing. Recently, at Houston Christian University, a moment unfolded that captures exactly what this mission is meant to be. During a sidewalk outreach, one of our scholarship recipients, named Jadyn, and her friend Jacob were approached by a pregnant student and her boyfriend.   Like so many couples in similar situations, they were navigating difficult emotions and unknowns about the future. The conversations began simply, with Jadyn and her friend speaking to the couple separately. But within minutes, what happened next could not have been planned or expected. In two separate conversations, just moments apart, both the mother and the father made the decision to give their lives to Jesus Christ. In the middle of fear, God brought peace. In the middle of confusion, He brought clarity. And in a culture that so often tells people they are alone, He showed up in a deeply personal way. This was not just a shift in perspective—it was a transformation of heart. Story continues below.

Noelia was only 25 years old. She had endured repeated sexual assaults, and the trauma from those experiences haunted her for years. She struggled with severe depression, had been admitted to psychiatric facilities more than once, and had previously attempted to take her own life. By her own words, she felt completely overwhelmed. In an interview on Antena 3, she described feeling empty, alone, and without purpose. She said she had no goals, no motivation, and no desire to keep going. Her world, as she put it, felt “very dark. ” https://twitter. com/TruthFairy131/status/2037315842707476863? s=20 At the same time, she made something else very clear. Although she had impairment from a spinal injury, she was not bedridden. She was able to get up, shower, and take care of herself. This was not a case of someone in the final stages of a terminal illness. This was a young woman in deep emotional and psychological pain—pain that can be treated and healed with the right care and support. God brings peace and healing to the brokenhearted.

A young woman described her grandmother’s final moments before undergoing physician-assisted suicide. In her last five minutes, her grandmother began to panic. She asked where she would sleep that night. Trying to comfort her, the family reassured her that “God prepared a golden house” and that they would join her later. But the question lingers: Why was she afraid? Even after making the decision to end her life, something deep within her seemed to resist it. https://www. tiktok. com/@awkward_me_/video/7597470274283523346? is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7572321934969587231 One commenter on the video made an observation worth noting: that her reaction may have been her body doing what it was created to do—fight to stay alive. That instinct is not random. It reflects something fundamental about human nature. We are not designed to choose death. We are wired for Life, for survival, for connection, and for hope. Scripture speaks to this truth clearly: “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies. ” 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 Life is not ours to take. It is a gift entrusted to us.

Speaking with Elex Michaelson around the time of the overturning of Roe, Newsom suggested a redefinition of what it means to be Pro-Life. “I appreciate that so many people, so many progressives, are leaning into redefining what Pro-Life is really about, and that's what we're doing in California,” Siebel Newsom said. “You know, Pro-Life is about prenatal care and universal preschool and universal after-school and universal healthcare and taking care of foster kids and feeding, you know, universal meals and childcare. Like, that's Pro-Life. It's not conception. ” Her comments reflect a growing trend among abortion advocates to shift the definition of “Pro-Life” away from its core meaning: the protection of human life from the beginning. While care for mothers, children, and families is deeply important, the Pro-Life movement has long maintained that these efforts must include protecting children in the womb as well. https://youtu. be/HBeXRT_f8sY? si=nhZMcJogY4252Lku Jennifer Newsom also criticized what she described as the “far right,” claiming their views are harmful to the country. “They’re living in this silo, this evangelical, conservative silo that, ultimately, is just pulling us back as a country to a time and a place where we don't deserve to be, and we're not going to be,” Siebel Newsom said. “Because honestly, young women and fathers of daughters are awake now, and... - Published: 2026-03-24 - Modified: 2026-03-24 - URL: https://texasrighttolife.com/new-poll-reveals-americans-complex-views-on-abortion-and-where-catholics-stand/ A new poll is offering a revealing look at how Americans view abortion, and the results point to a deeper truth. Many people recognize that abortion takes an innocent human life, even if they struggle with where to draw the line. When asked how they identify on abortion, 37% of respondents said they are “Pro-Life,” while 62% identified as “pro-choice. ” Only 1% said they were unsure. Among Catholics, the difference is striking. Of those who say they actively practice their faith, 58% identify as Pro-Life, compared to 41% who say they are pro-abortion. Among non-practicing Catholics, the numbers flip. Only 31% identify as Pro-Life, while 68% say they are pro-abortion. This contrast highlights the powerful role that faith and moral formation play in recognizing the dignity of every baby in the womb. However, there is something deeply concerning in this study. About one-third of those polled believe abortion should be allowed at any point in pregnancy, up until birth. That means 32% of Americans support the most extreme position on abortion. At the same time, 37% say most abortions should be illegal. Within that group: 6% say abortion should never be allowed under any circumstances 10% say it should only be permitted to save the life of the mother 21% say it should be limited to cases involving the mother’s life, rape, or incest But even some of these so-called “exceptions” reveal a tragic inconsistency.

The lawsuit accuses them of illegally shipping deadly abortion drugs into the state and practicing medicine without a Texas license. Dutch physician Rebecca Gomperts founded Aid Access with the intent to “create social justice and improve the health status and human rights of women who do not have the possibility of accessing local abortion services. ”  According to the lawsuit, Aid Access openly advertises that abortion pills can be sent to cities across Texas, including Houston, San Antonio, Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, and El Paso. Their website even features testimonials from women who purchased abortion drugs from Aid Access to end their baby's lives.   The lawsuit alleges that Aid Access, along with Dr. Gomperts and Dr. Coeytaux, violated the Texas Human Life Protection Act (2021). This law forbids performing, inducing, or attempting an abortion except in rare, life-saving situations and only when done by a licensed physician. The lawsuit also notes that Gomperts and Coeytaux do not hold Texas medical licenses, and practicing medicine without a license can result in civil penalties of at least $100,000 for each violation.   Story continues below.

In this case, a man posing as the uncle of a 14-year-old girl approached staff at a New Mexico abortion facility, asking how to obtain an abortion for the minor without parental consent. According to the report, staff did not question the situation or raise concerns about possible abuse. They did not verify the man’s relationship to the girl or pause to consider whether the circumstances pointed to something more troubling. Instead, they moved forward with providing information on how to obtain an abortion. https://twitter. com/nmsentinel/status/2032143539895750926? s=46 “The minute this man came in asking how to get an abortion for a 14-year-old minor, any legitimate healthcare staff would have recognized a possible red flag,” says Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue. “But these abortion workers not only explained how to circumvent Texas abortion laws, including parental consent, they also readily explained how to get all the costs covered, including the cost of the abortion, travel, and hotel.

This policy makes sure doctors understand they can give life-saving care to a mother without breaking Texas’ Pro-Life laws. The law also requires ongoing education for physicians and their advising attorneys. For years, the Texas Medical Board didn’t give clear guidance on Pro-Life laws, which is unusual for them, leaving doctors unsure how to handle complicated situations. The Life of the Mother Act fixes that. Thanks to the leadership of Senator Bryan Hughes, this law provides doctors with the clarity they need to act quickly in life-threatening situations while upholding Texas’ strong Pro-Life protections. Here’s what the new rules make clear: Treating an ectopic pregnancy is not an abortion. Removing a deceased child after a natural miscarriage is not an abortion. Physicians do not have to wait until a woman is on death’s door before providing care. Fetal anomalies alone do not qualify as a medical emergency unless the mother’s life is in danger. Texas Pro-Life laws have always included an exception for true medical emergencies. Despite this fact, Democrats and the media repeatedly claimed that Pro-Life laws prevent doctors from helping women during medical emergencies. These false claims created confusion and contributed to dangerous delays in care for women experiencing miscarriages, ectopic pregnancies, and other serious medical complications. But the Texas Medical Board’s years of silence allowed misinformation to spread. Story continues below.

The controversy began when a fan posted a video on TikTok saying she attended one of Larsson’s concerts while unknowingly pregnant. In the video, the fan said she was glad the baby heard Larsson perform before she later aborted the child. Larsson responded to the post with a comment that shocked many viewers. “I killed the performance and then you killed it after the performance purrrrrr. ” The fan replied, “I LOVE YOU GIRL OMGG. ” Larsson is not the first celebrity with a large following among young people to openly support abortion.

These 3D-printed death pods are designed for two people to climb inside, press a single button at the same time, and pass away within minutes. Suicide pods were created by Philip Nitschke, often nicknamed “Dr. Death,” and were first introduced in 2024 for single-person use. The individual must meet with a psychiatrist for a mental capacity assessment to determine whether he or she is considered “fit” to proceed. With the push of a button, the chamber fills with nitrogen, causing the person to lose consciousness within seconds, followed shortly by death. What is being marketed as innovation is, in reality, a modernized gas chamber. Now that same concept has been redesigned to end not one life, but two at once. According to Dr. Death, feedback from the first pod led to the creation of a couple's version. Reportedly, some people feel that dying alone in a single-person pod would be lonely, which is not surprising. Therefore, instead of responding with greater emotional support, mental health resources, or compassionate care, the answer offered was a machine that fits two people. Story continues below.

S. Senate. As a Democrat, he strongly supports abortion. What has surprised many Texans is not just his position, but the way he defends it. He says the Bible supports his view. Talarico grew up in a Christian Presbyterian church and often talks about his faith. But his explanation of Scripture ignores what the Bible teaches about the value of Life, especially the lives of babies in the womb. Around the time the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, allowing Texas to protect preborn children, Talarico preached a sermon that focused almost entirely on abortion. He said, “This summer, more than half our population became second-class citizens. Every one of our neighbors with a uterus became the property of the state.

The clinics were shut down after an investigation suggested she might have been performing illegal abortions and practicing medicine without a proper license. The Texas attorney general’s office said closing the clinics was necessary while the legal process continues. Rojas, with help from the pro-abortion Center for Reproductive Rights, asked the court to reopen her clinics. Her lawyers argued three main points: The order closing the clinics isn’t clear because it doesn’t say exactly what she can or cannot do. They claimed the state doesn’t have the right to shut the clinics down without stronger proof. They said there isn’t enough evidence that she actually did anything illegal. The state, however, defended the closure. Lawyers for the attorney general said the order clearly prohibits Rojas and her staff from doing things they are not legally allowed to do, like performing abortions or operating without a license. They also pointed out that, as a licensed midwife, Rojas is aware of the limits of her practice and that the order does not need to list every prohibited action to be enforceable.

Instead of focusing solely on his care and recovery, the hospital determined that he should not continue living and invoked two separate Texas laws to remove his treatment. While Reynaldo’s family initially believed the hospital was there to help and advocate for him, they quickly realized that was not the case. Reynaldo fainted and lost oxygen for approximately 20 minutes and was taken to the hospital on January 18th, 2026. Shortly after, he was placed on a ventilator and artificial food and water. The medical team suspected brain death and began the testing. Unfortunately, Reynaldo did not pass the reflex portion of a brain death exam.   Then it came time for the second portion of the exam, the apnea test. The apnea test removes the patient’s oxygen for approximately 10-15 minutes to see if they respond by trying to breathe on their own. The apnea test is highly debated as it can cause further brain damage and even death. His family, acting out of love and conscience, declined the apnea test.   Because of this, the hospital could not initially declare him brain dead.

Investigators say a copy of Final Exit by Derek Humphry was found near his bed. The book, written for the terminally ill, goes beyond arguing for “the right to die. ” It provides instructions. In one disturbing line, it states: “Ugh! The plastic bag! Agreed. Not very aesthetic, but not so bad with a little prior practice to become accustomed to it. ” When Regmund was arrested, she admitted that she had prepared the items Cheffo ultimately used in the suicide months earlier and had placed the gas canister in his room ahead of time.   She said she waited one to two hours before returning, at which point she found him unresponsive and called for help.

Jimenez’s boyfriend brought her to Memorial Medical Center, and it became clear she had just delivered a baby. Hospital staff quickly contacted police after realizing the child was not with her. Officers responded to the lake and searched the portable restrooms. Inside the holding tank of one unit, they discovered the body of a baby girl. “Investigators believe Jimenez gave birth to a live baby, cut the umbilical cord, and placed the child in the holding tank where she drowned,” the Las Cruces Police Department stated. https://youtu. be/8zpsFMz1Afk? si=YVKDoq8GCMWOemFB An autopsy later confirmed that the baby was alive when she was placed in the portable toilet and that “she breathed and swallowed the blue chemical liquid commonly used in portable restroom sanitation. ” Las Cruces Police Chief Jeremy Story called it “one of the most heartbreaking and disturbing cases I have encountered in my career. ” It is hard to imagine the fear, panic, or desperation that may have surrounded this situation. But it is even harder to imagine the suffering of a newborn baby girl who was alive, breathing, and fighting for Life. Story continues below.

King claims to be 100% Pro-Life, but he is responsible for the Texas House’s Pro-Life failures in 2025. Last year, Ken King killed a critical Pro-Life bill that would have protected Texas mothers and babies from the 19,000 deadly abortion pills flooding Texas yearly, known as the Woman and Child Protection Act. After the bill passed the Texas Senate, it was sent to King’s committee, where he single-handedly killed it. He waited so long to move it forward that it died in May. After his antics, 130 Pro-Life leaders, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, and Governor Greg Abbott joined together to bring this issue back in another legislative session. Four months later, Ken King was forced to allow a weaker version of the bill out of his committee. Even though the bill ultimately passed, King’s obstruction was the single most damaging setback for Pro-Life efforts last year. In 2017, Ken King voted with Democrats to weaken Pro-Life laws. That same year, he refused to vote to ban dismemberment abortions. He voted against protecting children with disabilities from late-term abortions, and in 2019, King again rejected efforts to defend preborn babies diagnosed with disabilities. Time and again, when it mattered most, Ken King sided against Life.

A rising rugby player in New Zealand, he had already captained a regional team and built momentum in his athletic career. Like many young men his age, he was focused on growth, achievement, and the next big opportunity. Then, at just after 10 p. m. on September 8, everything changed. Broome had climbed onto the roof of a student dorm to take a photo when he slipped and fell, crashing onto the sidewalk below. The fall left him with a traumatic brain injury, a broken pelvis, fractured shoulder blades, and a ruptured spleen and liver. Looking back now, he understands just how close he came to losing his life. “That has definitely played in my head, the fact that I could have died... I’m alive, I’m here, and I’m on the improve now,” he told the Southerland Tribune. For a month, Jayden could not speak. Though his mind was functioning, his body would not cooperate. “Mentally, to be fair, in the first month or so when I couldn’t talk, I was quite depressed,” Jayden said. “People would come and visit, and I couldn’t talk. I could function in my head, and I wanted to say stuff, but I couldn’t butt into a conversation on me. I couldn’t add my point of view, because I couldn’t talk. ” “Everyone knew I was trying to talk, but I couldn’t get the words out.

Born four months early in March 2001, Derick weighed just 2 pounds, 9 ounces, and was given only a 1% chance to survive. Doctors warned his mother that he might not live, and if he did, he might never walk or talk. He spent his first five months in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), connected to machines and watched over by nurses and doctors who cared for him every day. But his life was precious from the beginning — and his mother, Stacy, believed in him no matter what. “I just wanted him to have a normal life where he could walk and talk and feed himself,” she told PEOPLE. “I was just thinking, Lord, let him make it through the night. And here we are 22 years later. ” Story continues below.

He learned to talk. He grew stronger every day. His foundation describes his life this way: he overcame what seemed impossible, becoming a living example of what can happen when a child’s life is cherished and given a chance. As Derick grew up, the same love and support that helped him survive became the foundation for his future.

From the frantic but loving Kate McCallister in the Home Alone series to the unique and dramatic Moira Rose in Schitt’s Creek, her characters have made audiences laugh for decades. But for O’Hara, none of those roles comes close to the one she values most. Outside of Hollywood, Catherine O’Hara is a mother in real life. She and her husband, Bo Welch, welcomed their son Matthew in 1994, followed by their son Luke in 1997. While her career continued, it never took precedence over her children. She explained that choice clearly in an interview with 519 Magazine: “I’m with my family as much as I can be. I’ve always... In deciding what work I might get involved in for my whole working life, my family’s always come first. I have two sons, and when they were babies, I thought what’s the point? What’s the point of having children if I’m not going to be with them, so that was always number one consideration and always will be. ” Story continues below.

Families and friends come together, food fills the table, conversations flow, and unlike almost any other day of the year, people actually pay attention to the commercials. Companies know this moment matters because the world is watching. That is why they show up with their biggest stories, their strongest emotions, and their most unforgettable messages. In recent years, more commercials have leaned into family values and Christian themes, but one voice has consistently been missing. The voice of a mother in crisis. A woman staring at a positive pregnancy test, overwhelmed by fear and uncertainty, and suddenly facing an unplanned pregnancy. This year, that silence will be broken. Adoption Is is an organization committed to dismantling the stigma, fear, and misinformation surrounding adoption, especially for birth mothers. During the Super Bowl, they will deliver a message millions were not expecting by showing something rarely seen on a national stage: that there is a third option. We were honored to host the first public showing of this commercial at our 2025 Life Gala, and we look forward to seeing how God uses it to reach millions of hearts through televisions across the country. https://twitter. com/TXRightToLife/status/2019829707781324809? s=20 From the very first moments, the commercial pulls viewers in by capturing the emotional storm that can hit a woman the instant she realizes she is pregnant... - Published: 2026-02-06 - Modified: 2026-02-06 - URL: https://texasrighttolife.com/the-song-that-reminded-america-that-motherhood-is-a-ministry/ American Idol has long been a place where rising stars are given a chance to share their talent, their story, and often a message that reaches far beyond the stage. For one contestant, that message was deeply personal, faith-filled, and beautifully Pro-Life. Hannah Harper is a Christian, a mother, and a singer-songwriter. When she stepped onto the American Idol stage, she performed an original song with a surprising title, “String Cheese. ” What followed was a powerful testimony about motherhood, mental health, and God’s purpose for women and families. In her song, Hannah opened up about her struggle with postpartum depression, something that affects about one in eight women, according to the CDC. She shared a moment many mothers can relate to.   Story continues below.

Feeling stretched thin, she snapped and looked down, only to realize he was simply asking her to open his string cheese. In that quiet, ordinary moment, Hannah said the Lord showed her something profound. God had placed her exactly where she was meant to be.

Now, that pressure is officially gone. Under the Trump administration, the Department of Health and Human Services completely canceled the old Biden policy. That means: Pharmacies are not required by the federal government to carry abortion pills; Pharmacists cannot be forced to dispense them; and, Decisions now depend on state law, a pharmacist’s professional judgment, and their religious or moral beliefs. In short, Washington is no longer leaning on local pharmacies across the nation to dispense abortion pills. However, they are ignoring a federal law that bans the mailing of these deadly drugs, called the Comstock Act. After the Supreme Court said in 2022 that lawmakers can decide abortion policies, the Biden administration stepped in and told pharmacies across the country that they should provide abortion pills to people using government health insurance.
