Hundreds of Thousands of Americans Will March for Life Because “True Equality Begins in the Womb”
District of Columbia | October 28, 2021
When pro-life Americans gather Jan. 21, 2022 in Washington, D.C. to mark the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, they will remind society that unborn babies are precious, valuable human beings who deserve equal rights under the law.
On Wednesday, the March for Life revealed its theme for the 49th annual march: “Equality Begins in the Womb.” The march is held every year on the anniversary of the infamous U.S. Supreme Court ruling to call for an end to abortion and restored protections for babies in the womb.
“The pro-life movement recognizes the immense responsibility this nation bears to restore equal rights to its most defenseless citizens in the womb,” March for Life president Jeanne Mancini said. “Since Roe v. Wade, scientific advances have undeniably confirmed the humanity of the unborn, and today most Americans agree there should be significant limits on abortion.”… (Excerpts from LIFENEWS.COM)

Texas pro-life charities respond to abortion law fallout, brace for a ‘post-Roe’ world
District of Columbia, Texas | October 25, 2021
A Texas court once again shuffled the deck last week for women in the state as it dealt with various decisions that have effectively left them in legal limbo.
Amid the uncertainty, pro-life charities and abortion clinics have attempted to adapt while taking on markedly different levels of clients. The heartbeat law, which effectively serves as a six-week abortion ban, is expected to dramatically reduce the number of abortions in the state — leaving community organizations with a likely spike in crisis pregnancies.
Loveline, a Houston-based charity started by former Planned Parenthood director Abby Johnson, told Fox News it saw a 50% nationwide increase in calls in the month after Texas’ law was enacted on Sept. 1. Thirty-three percent of those came from Texas….. (Excerpts from FOX News)

Biden’s Supreme Court Commission Loses 2 Conservative Members Amid Court Packing Debate
District of Columbia | October 17, 2021
Two conservative members of President Joe Biden’s bipartisan commission examining public debate over U.S. Supreme Court reform, including whether to increase the number of justices, are no longer on the panel.
Caleb Nelson, a law professor at the University of Virginia who clerked for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, and Jack Goldsmith, a law professor at Harvard who clerked for retired Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, both resigned from the presidential commission, according to Bloomberg.
“These two commissioners have chosen to bring their involvement to a close,” White House spokesman Andrew Bates said in an emailed statement to Bloomberg. “We respect their decision and very much appreciate the significant contributions that they made during the last 5 months in terms of preparing for these deliberations.”… (Excerpts from the Epoch Times)

Biden Supreme Court Commission Divided on Adding Justices to Supreme Court
District of Columbia | October 15, 2021
President Joe Biden’s commission on the Supreme Court issued draft documents Thursday showing members are divided on the question of whether to add seats to the nation’s top court.
The commission spent 30 pages, with another 16 in footnotes, exploring the issue. More words were devoted to the potential ramifications than the potential benefits.
While some commissioners agree, at least in part, with critics who want the court expanded, others conclude that “Court expansion is likely to undermine, rather than enhance, the Supreme Court’s legitimacy and its role in the constitutional system, and there are significant reasons to be skeptical that expansion would serve democratic values,” the commission said….

Star Parker: Clarence Thomas and the Declaration of Independence
District of Columbia | September 23, 2021
ast week, Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas arrived at the University of Notre Dame to speak about the Declaration of Independence.
Speaking invitations like this that Thomas accepts are few and far between.
Anyone who cares about our country and listens to this address will wish that he would agree to speak more.
His presentation was a brilliant and profound articulation of what America is about at its core.
It is what every American needs to hear in these troublesome and divisive times.
Thomas tells his own story and how his life’s journey led him to understand what America is about.
He grew up poor near Savannah, Georgia, raised by his grandparents, under the tutelage of his grandfather, a devout Catholic and American patriot.
Thomas’ grandfather understood that the injustices of the country were not about flaws in the country but about flaws in human beings in living up to ideals handed down to them. What needed to be fixed were the people — not the nation.
This insight strikes at the heart of the divisions going on today that are so bitterly dividing us…. (Excerpt from Black Community News)
