My Adoption Story
By Julia Wall, Intern The funny thing about adoption is that no story is ever “typical.” Although love is always interwoven throughout an adoption journey, details are unique to every family who has grown through adoption. My journey, like so many others, is one-of-a-kind, full of love, and something I’m proud to share. I grew …
Respect Life Month: A Reflection on Human Dignity and Chronic Illness
by Chelsea Duffy At twenty-five years old, I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. It is a chronic illness caused by my immune system attacking the walls of my colon.

What is the Mexico City Policy? And Why Should Taxpayers Care?
By Julia Wall, Intern Do you want to personally pay for the murder of unborn children internationally? 100 million taxpayer dollars are on the line each year.

Life Always Wins
By Kristen Nupson, Legislative/PAC Director Life is a winning issue. History has shown that a culture that does not value life cannot survive.

A Concerning Case: David Daleiden v. Planned Parenthood
