Supreme Court Allows
Mail-Order Abortions to Continue
LifeNews.com | Steven Ertelt | 5-14-26 | Washington, DC
This means the dangerous abortion pill mifepristone can still be mailed to customers nationwide while the lower court addresses a case from Louisiana seeking to stop them nationwide long-term.
The high court’s temporary stay, issued on
May 8, expired at 5 p.m. ET Thursday. The court extended the stay today while the case continues. Justice Clarence Thomas and Justice Samuel Alito, dissented.
Justice Samuel Alito wrote in a separate dissent that allowing mail-order and telehealth access to mifepristone is a “scheme to undermine” the court’s decision in Dobbs overturning Roe v. Wade and the right of states to protect babies from abortions, which he authored. CLICK HERE to read the full article.

America’s Birth Rate Has Declined 23% Since 2007 as Abortions Decimate Population
LifeNews.com | Joshua Arnold | 4-20-26 | Washington, DC
The U.S. birth rate reached a new record low in 2025, according to provisional Vital Statistics data released this month by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Last year, the U.S. recorded only 53.1 births per 1,000 women of childbearing age (ages 15-44), a 1.3% decline from 2024 and a 23% decline from 2007. The decline reflects a social shift as women are choosing to bear children later in life, as well as the combined weight of decades of social changes that undermined the American family.
The U.S. birth rate today is so far below historical averages that the total number of annual births is much smaller than in previous years, when the U.S. had a significantly smaller population. For example, there were 4.3 million births in 1961, when the U.S. population was 184 million, slightly larger than the current population of Bangladesh. In 2025, there were only 3.6 million births in the entire U.S., despite a population of 342 million.
In 1961, the general fertility rate stood at 117.1 births per 1,000 females aged 15-44, more than twice the current rate. Or, to put it differently, there were an average of 3.62 births per woman in 1961, versus an average of 1.61 births per woman in 2023 (the last year for which data is available), far below the replacement rate.

Catholic Bishop Condemns Abortion:
“All Human Life is Sacred From Conception”
LifeNews.com | Steven Ertelt | Apr 3, 2026 | Washington, DC
The chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Committee on Pro-Life Activities has voiced strong support for legislation aimed at revoking the Food and Drug Administration’s approval of the dangerous abortion drug mifepristone. He is reaffirming the Catholic Church’s teaching that all human life is sacred from the moment of conception. In an April 1 letter to the bill’s sponsors, Bishop Daniel Thomas of Toledo, Ohio, stated: “Catholic teaching holds that all human life is sacred from the moment of conception until natural death and that both the life of the mother and the preborn child possess equal, inherent dignity.” CLICK HERE to read the full article.
They Put a Bag Over Granny’s Head
and Helped Her Kill Herself
LifeNews.com | Raimundo Rojas | Mar 31, 2026 | Denver, Colorado
The death of 91-year-old Mildred “Milsy” Roller should end the lazy claim that assisted-suicide laws are safe because they are regulated. Colorado lawmakers and activists sold the public a tightly controlled system. They promised narrow eligibility, medical supervision, and meaningful safeguards.
Yet prosecutors now say Roller died outside that legal framework, with a plastic bag over her head, tubing attached to a nitrogen tank, and family members allegedly involved in planning and carrying out the act. Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty has called it “a sad and tragic case” and has made clear that this was not a lawful assisted death under Colorado law.

Human Life Begins at Conception:
One Single Cell Becomes Trillions
LifeNews.com | Randall O'Bannon, Ph.D.
Feb 27, 2026 | Washington, DC
When the cell was first discovered (and named) by Robert Hooke in 1665, it was hailed as a major discovery. However it was initially thought to be just a cell wall containing a mass of some sort of undifferentiated protoplasm. It took years for scientists to learn just how complex that “simple cell” really was.
Gradually, they realized that even the standard animal cell contained many different highly specialized organelles–structures that perform various jobs inside cells. For example, these complex biological machines keep the cell healthy and thriving by handling critical manufacturing, processing, transportation, and communication functions for the cell. Even the cell wall turned out to be a very specialized structure. It admits or blocks the entry or exit of materials or molecular messages meeting very specific conditions, ready to perform very specific functions.

Physician-Assisted Suicide:
A Perversion of Mercy
by Kevin Jorrey
In recent years, the push for Physician-Assisted Suicide (PAS) has been framed as a compassionate choice, a way to end suffering and uphold “personal dignity.” Yet the Catholic Church, rooted in Scripture and Tradition, makes clear that such practices gravely misunderstand both human dignity and authentic compassion.
In Canada, PAS has been legal for several years, and the consequences are devastating. In 2023 alone, over 15,000 Canadians died under what is called Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID), a phrase that hides the harsh reality of euthanasia. This represents almost 5% of total deaths in 2023, meaning one in every twenty Canadians who died did not receive love and care in their final days, but instead were handed a cold, clinical death. When universal healthcare is paired with PAS, the sick are no longer seen as treasures to be cherished but as burdens to be removed, lives deemed more “valuable” dead than alive. When physicians abandon their oath to “do no harm” and instead participate in killing, the foundations of healthcare itself begin to collapse. CLICK HERE to read the FULL article.
THE REALITY OF
ELECTIVE ABORTION ON DEMAND
For many people, abortion is an abstract idea concerning personal freedom. They have not grasped the true reality of what happens when a more powerful person chooses elective abortion (also known as abortion on demand). Elective abortion is a violent and fatal assault on an innocent human being growing and developing in his or her mother's womb with the full intention of killing the growing child. Elective abortion is spoken about in euphemisms to hide the brutal reality of what occurs. This is why it is necessary to bring the truth forward.
JUST BECAUSE AN ACT IS LEGAL
DOES NOT MAKE IT MORAL
Ask yourself this question, "If Ohio law said it is legal to steal less than $500 from a bank, and you will not be prosecuted for doing so," would that make it morally right to steal?
Many people incorrectly assume, "If it's legal, it must be moral." Pro-life people understand that elective abortion is now legal in many states, but it is NOT moral, AND that medical care after a spontaneous miscarriage is NOT elective abortion, AND ELECTIVE "ABORTION ON DEMAND" IS NOT HEALTH CARE.
