Trump Attorney Will Prosecute Abortion Activists Who Attacked Pro-Life Pregnancy Centers– www.lifenews.com

Excerpt:

Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon promised to hold criminals accountable for bombing and vandalizing pro-life pregnancy centers with the same law formerly used to jail pro-lifers.

Dhillon’s Civil Rights Division at the Department of Justice (DOJ) aims to bring “numerous” such cases using the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, she told The Daily Signal in a Thursday interview. The Biden administration primarily used the FACE Act to prosecute pro-life activists for peacefully protesting at abortion clinics, despite the law also protecting pregnancy resource centers and houses of worship.

“While the statute is in place, it provides protection for both people who are going to abortion clinics as well as crisis pregnancy centers,” Dhillon said, echoing statements she made in April. Dhillon expanded on her goals in the Daily Signal interview.

Did Christianity birth the trans craze? Exposing the left’s shocking historical hit job– www.theblaze.com

Every so often, an academic wrapped in the robes of theory decides to rewrite history — not to correct it, but to commandeer it.

The latest example comes from the Conversation, in which a University of Iowa scholar, Sarah Barringer, claims that Christianity has a “transgender” heritage. You heard that right: Saints who renounced the world to live in chastity and devotion are now being posthumously enlisted in a modern identity crusade they never chose.

The modern obsession with identity — splintering the self into ever-narrower categories — is antithetical to the Christian ethos.

Let’s acknowledge the truth up front: There is no such thing as a “transgender saint.” There are saints who disguised themselves, fled arranged marriages, and shaved their heads and donned robes to live among men in monasteries because that was the only place they could escape danger, obligation, or temptation.

But calling this “transness” is like calling Joan of Arc gender-fluid because she wore armor. It’s historical trespassing and spiritual identity theft dressed up as scholarship.

President Trump, please disavow the Commission on Population Growth– www.lifesitenews.com

Excerpt:

(LifeSiteNews) — U.S. government agencies have never engaged in open coercion to force down the birth rate, at least within the borders of the United States. (USAID’s past actions overseas are another matter.)…

The blueprint for this assault on American families and American fertility was drawn up way back in 1972 by something called the Commission on Population Growth and the American Future.

The Commission was the brainchild of one of America’s original population bomb fanatics, John D. Rockefeller III, who also happened to be one of the wealthiest men on the planet.

Like many of his fellow globalist elites—think Bill Gates and Warren Buffet—Rockefeller had long been convinced that Americans were having way too many babies. And he decided that it was past time to use a whole-of-government approach to put a stop to this reckless reproduction.

Rockefeller badgered President Richard Nixon into setting up the Commission on Population Growth in 1970 and appointing him as chairman. Over the next two years he steered it with an iron hand, using it to concoct a comprehensive plan that he hoped would stop America’s population growth dead in its tracks.

The report that he issued, called Population and the American Future, was a population controller’s dream. It began—as such screeds always do—with a stark warning: Unless something was done to stop America’s high birth rates, the population of the U.S. would explode from 203 million in 1970 to 300 million by 2000.

Grim consequences would follow, the report warned: Cities would become overcrowded cesspools of poverty and racial tension. Inequality would grow. Hordes of children would strain schools and other social services to the breaking point. Pressure on natural resources like water and energy would escalate as cities sprawled across the landscape, full of people sowing pollution wherever they went.

Michigan Women Face More Botched Abortions as Complications Increase 38%– www.lifenews.com

On Tuesday, June 24, Right to Life of Michigan joins pro-lifers and people of good will across the country in celebrating the end of an era of destruction wrought by the U.S. Supreme Court’s ill-fated Roe v. Wade decision.

Roe created an environment in which, all too often, women were isolated in fear and the pressure to “not be pregnant.” The “right to choose” quickly became an abortion-only response to unplanned pregnancy. The lives of more than 60 million innocent unborn children were lost, women’s well-being and health trampled upon, and the widespread destruction of families and communities ensued. The Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision means Roe is no more, yet much of its impact remains with us today.

In Michigan, Proposal 3 passed just five months after the Dobbs decision, making abortion legal through all nine months of pregnancy. Radical abortion activists in our state pushed forward, removing health and safety regulations from abortion clinics, overturning informed consent — stripping away a woman’s right to know about common risks associated with abortion, and undermining industry transparency by ending abortion complication reporting.

CULTURE OF DEATH: After Late Term Abortions, British MPs Now Approve Assisted Suicide Bill – PM Starmer Votes for It – Campaigners Vow To Resist Legislation in the House of Lords | The Gateway Pundit– www.thegatewaypundit.com

Starmer is taking the UK down a dark path.

The culture of death is taking hold of the United Kingdom.

A mere two days after the UK House of Commons voted to decriminalize late-term abortion ‘up to birth’, the Labour party of failing Prime Minister Keir Starmer has approved a bill legalizing assisted suicide.

Starmer was glad to vote for the bill, and – as proof of just how committed the UK has become to the culture of death – a good deal of Tories (including failed Globalist, former PM Rishi Sunak) and even Reform UK MPs also backed the bill.

The ‘Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill’ was approved in the House of Commons by 314 votes with 291 against, a majority of 23 (down from a majority of 55 in the last reading of the bill).

The Bill now goes to the House of Lords for further scrutiny, and if approved in the upper house it will ‘pave the way for assisted dying services to be introduced by the end of the decade’.

But there’s ongoing pushback from the right-thinking decent folk of Britain.

The Telegraph reported:

“Andrea Williams, chief executive of Christian Concern, said: ‘This should not be treated as a conscience issue. It is assisting a person to kill themselves. We need political parties and leaders to rise up who will speak clearly on this point and refuse to implement a state suicide service’ […] Ross Hendy, CEO of the charity, CARE, described the result as ‘a blow to human dignity and people whose legitimate fears have been dismissed as irrelevant’.”

While the majority of people reading this have had a very chill Pride month thus far, considering America made their voices heard in November, the same cannot be said for the Oregon House of Representatives.

On Wednesday, a drag performance took place on the floor of the Oregon House of Representatives after a resolution was passed to recognize and honor “Black Drag” history.

It’s unclear what they mean by history, but it may or may not have something to do with “Herstory.”

Question: When state lawmakers took an oath to protect Americans’ freedoms, how does this fit in? And do people really enjoy this? They’re not even dancing impressively, as toddlers could probably put on a better performance.

Are they not just jumping up and down? Like, how is that impressive?

Pope Leo XIV flags AI impact on kids’ intellectual and spiritual development– abcnews.go.com

Excerpt:

ROME — ROME (AP) — Pope Leo XIV warned Friday that artificial intelligence could negatively impact the intellectual, neurological and spiritual development of young people as he pressed one of the priorities of his young pontificate.

History’s first American pope sent a message to a conference of AI and ethics, part of which was taking place in the Vatican in a sign of the Holy See’s concern for the new technologies and what they mean for humanity.

In the message, Leo said any further development of AI must be evaluated according to the “superior ethical criterion” of the need to safeguard the dignity of each human being while respecting the diversity of the world’s population.

He warned specifically that new generations are most at risk given they have never had such quick access to information.

“All of us, I am sure, are concerned for children and young people, and the possible consequences of the use of AI on their intellectual and neurological development,” he said in the message. “Society’s well-being depends upon their being given the ability to develop their God-given gifts and capabilities,” and not allow them to confuse mere access to data with intelligence.

Disney World Attendance Plunges To Historic Lows– trendingpoliticsnews.com

Excerpt:

Disney World is experiencing a massive decline in attendance in June, with visitor numbers and overall crowd sizes way down in what is typically one of the busiest months of the year.

According to Disney Dining, the current June numbers are noticeably low when compared with historical trends. Social media feedback painted a picture of low energy across the parks, starkly contrasting the vibrant atmosphere typically associated with Disney World during this season. Some users even remarked on the eeriness of encountering low crowds, urging discussions about what might be causing this downturn,” the Disney-focused blog reported.

Economic concerns have been viewed as a potential contributing factor, as rising prices for Disney vacations has been listed as a concern for families considering a trip. While overall inflation trends have cooled, costs of dining, lodging and experiences have increased dramatically across Disney theme parks.

“Disney executives have acknowledged the concern but have been slow to adapt their pricing strategies in light of these economic difficulties,” Disney Dining reported. “The sentiment among consumers suggests an ongoing reluctance to spend on extravagant trips like Disney World, marking a troubling shift for the beloved theme park.”

Earlier this year, reports surfaced that Disney executives were discussing whether their continuous price hikes are alienating middle class families who would have otherwise planned a visit. The price of attending a Disney park has skyrocketed in recent years, with the typical price of a four-day stay inside the park rising by $1000 between 2019 and 2024, according to an analysis conducted by The Wall Street Journal.

Corporate Sponsors Are Pulling Back From Pride– www.dailysignal.com

Excerpt:

LGBTQ advocates have long allied themselves with diversity, equity and inclusion groups. Yet DEI’s legal troubles are causing some corporate sponsors to end their support for Pride activities.

Soon, Pride advocates may have legal problems of their own. That’s bad for Pride organizers, but it’s good for parents because rulings could spell out protections for parents and children from explicit sexual material in schools.

An April survey of corporate executives found that 39% of respondents “plan to reduce Pride-related engagement in 2025,” with 61% of these business leaders citing “pressure” from the White House as the primary reason for dropping support.

Some Pride organizations are reeling: Businesses such as Mastercard, Pepsi, Comcast and more did not contribute to Pride events—in fact, San Francisco’s Pride organizations saw fundraising fall by $200,000. New York City’s Pride fundraising dropped by 20%, while Salt Lake City’s Pride fundraising is down by nearly half a million dollars.

Companies were more interested in supporting Pride events and their DEI partners when federal officials allowed DEI offices in corporations and on university campuses to skirt civil rights laws.

According to Forbes, corporate fundraising for DEI “peaked” between 2016 and 2022, which happened to cover much of President Joe Biden’s administration. That administration did not call companies, universities and other organizations to account for DEI activities that may have violated the Civil Rights Act, such as racial favoritism in hiring.

YMCA Could Face Title IX Scrutiny Over Transgender Policies– www.dailysignal.com

A parents’ rights group is asking the Trump administration to investigate the YMCA for possible violations of federal law for allowing men who identify as women into women’s locker rooms and, in several instances, allowing them to expose their naked bodies to women and girls.

“I write to file a formal complaint against the YMCA of the USA (“YMCA”) for engaging in unlawful gender-based discrimination in its programs and policies,” Alleigh Marré, the executive director of the American Parents Coalition, wrote in a letter on June 10 to the secretaries of the departments of Health and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development, and Education.

The letter follows news reports that indicated the national YMCA organization had issued guidance as far back as 2017 recommending that biologically male campers and staff be allowed to use the cabins and bathrooms “aligned with their gender identity” at YMCA camps.

The letter then goes on to outline how individual YMCAs had implemented those policies.

In April, a mother and her young daughter were exposed to a naked man in a women’s locker room at a local YMCA in Kansas City, Missouri. The individual in question reportedly said something along the lines of “Honey, I’m a woman,” when the girl’s mother inquired why he was in the locker room.

That YMCA told WDAF-TV in Kansas City that “individuals are allowed to use the locker room or restroom that they identify with,” but that “members are asked to wear a towel, wrap, or other clothes at all times.”

Supreme Court Delivers Key Victory For Conservatives– trendingpoliticsnews.com

Excerpt:

In a unanimous move, the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday ordered New York’s highest court to reconsider its decision upholding a state mandate that forces religious employers to provide abortion coverage in their health insurance plans.

The Court’s unsigned order in Diocese of Albany v. Harris directs the New York Court of Appeals to reexamine the case in light of Catholic Charities Bureau v. Wisconsin, a recent ruling that reinforced constitutional protections for religious groups under the First Amendment’s Free Exercise Clause.

The ruling stems from a years-long legal battle involving a coalition of Catholic and Anglican nuns, dioceses, churches, and faith-based ministries. These organizations challenged New York’s 2017 abortion insurance mandate, arguing that it compelled them to violate their deeply held beliefs about the sanctity of life.

“When New York created this abortion mandate, it said it would protect religious groups,” said Lori Windham, a religious liberty attorney. “But religious ministries that serve all people, regardless of faith, were left out. Not even Jesus, Mother Teresa, or Mahatma Gandhi would qualify for New York’s stingy definition of religious freedom.”

The original New York law offered only a narrow exemption—limited to religious organizations that primarily employ and serve individuals of the same faith. That meant ministries that provide food, housing, and other essential services to the general public—including those of different faiths or none at all—were left with no protection.

Less than half of young British men think abortion should be legal: poll– www.lifesitenews.com

Excerpt:

On the heels of a Gallup survey noting that 54 percent of American men identify as pro-life (as opposed to 32 percent of women), a new Ipsos poll from the United Kingdom reveals a similar gender divide. 

According to the new poll published on June 16, 71 percent of Britons believe that abortion should be legal “in most or all cases,” but between young men aged 16-34, this number plunges to 46 percent. The Ipsos survey was conducted between May 16 and 19 and surveyed 1,062 British people between ages 16 and 75. 

According to Ipsos, 34 percent of Britons think that abortion should be legal in all cases, and 38 percent in most cases. Thirteen percent of Britons believe abortion should be illegal in most cases, and four percent believe it should be illegal in all cases. Ipsos noted that this “level of support has remained relatively consistent since 2022.”

Again, the surprise from the new Ipsos survey is the pro-life shift among young men. While 76 percent of men between the ages of 35 and 54 think abortion should be legal in most or all cases and 82 percent of men between the ages of 55 and 75, “less than half (46 percent) of men aged 16-34 believe that abortion should be legal in all or most cases.” 

The Ipsos survey also revealed that there is no public push to change the law to decriminalize abortion up until birth, as MPs are likely to do this week. Forty-seven percent of Britons “believe the current 24-week time limit for most abortions in England and Wales is ‘about right,’ while almost a quarter—24 percent–think it is “too late.” Only four percent believe it is too early. Over half of those surveyed, 55 percent, think that the party who committed the abortion should receive a penalty. 

“While the majority of Britons support legal abortion, with seven in ten in favour, our polling reveals a significant fault line: less than half of young men aged 16-34 agree,” noted Kate Duxbury of Ipsos. “This divergence, coupled with the fact that around half of Britons think the current 24-week limit is ‘about right’, highlights the complexities facing policymakers as they consider decriminalisation. It’s clear that public opinion is far from monolithic, demanding a nuanced approach to this sensitive issue.”

Addressing participants of the Latin Mass Society’s 60th anniversary conference in London on Saturday, Burke spoke of his personal intervention to the new Pope regarding the future of the traditional Mass:

It is my hope that Leo XIV will put an end to the present persecution to the faithful in the Church who desire to worship God according to the more ancient usage of the Roman Rite, this persecution from within the Church.

I have already had occasion to express that to the Holy Father. It is my hope that he will – as soon as it is possible – take up the study of this question and try to restore the situation as it was after Summorum Pontificum and even to develop what Pope Benedict XVI had so wisely and lovingly legislated for the Church.

Burke, who spoke via a video-link to the conference, has been a leading proponent of the traditional liturgy for many years.

Bait And Switch: 90 Universities Lie About Ending DEI, Just Rename Their Programs– lidblog.com

Since just before Donald Trump won the 2024 election, colleges and universities began pulling back on their diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs and claiming to be ending them. But now, we are learning that they were only playing to publicity and lied. Most of them didn’t end the DEI programs, they just renamed them.

According to aa report by The College Fix, 90 universities have made a big deal about ending their DEI programs, but all they really did was rename their DEI programs and just renamed them, otherwise leaving them the same as before.

Faced with pressure to eliminate their diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, colleges and universities across the nation opted to rebrand such efforts as opposed to eliminating them altogether, a College Fix survey found.

While many universities did close their DEI offices, a large chunk opted to rename or revamp them, but kept a lot of the same employees and goals. In some cases, there were some staff reassignments and other bureaucratic shuffling, such as integration into other departments.

The survey looked at news reports, press releases and institutional websites to determine that over the last two years, at least 87 schools effectively renamed their DEI offices.

Vermont Walks Back Law Targeting Pro-Life Clinics– www.standingforfreedom.com

Excerpt:

A federal lawsuit challenging a Vermont law regulating pro-life pregnancy centers has been dismissed after state officials amended the statute to address concerns raised by the plaintiffs.

The National Institute of Family and Life Advocates (NIFLA), along with Aspire Now in Williston and Branches Pregnancy Resource Center in Brattleboro, filed the suit in July 2023. The plaintiffs argued that Vermont’s Senate Bill 37 (SB 37), which had taken effect in May 2023, unconstitutionally targeted “limited-services pregnancy centers” by restricting their speech and dictating how they could operate.

Specifically, the law prohibited what it called “deceptive acts or practices” by centers that do not offer abortions or emergency contraception, including advertising that could be considered false or misleading. It also limited the scope of services non-licensed individuals could provide, effectively barring some staff at pregnancy resource centers from offering non-medical counseling, advice, or information on abortion reversal treatments.

The law essentially claimed that pregnancy centers that neither perform nor refer for abortions were unqualified to say they assist pregnant women. It subjected these pro-life centers to potential fines of up to $10,000 if their advertisements were deemed misleading by Vermont’s pro-abortion attorney general. The restrictions applied solely to pro-life organizations, while abortion providers offering similar information were not held to the same standard.

Gallup Poll Shows Americans are More Pro-Life on Abortion Than Last Year– www.lifenews.com

Excerpt:

Today, Gallup released the results of its annual survey on abortion. Overall, the news is good for pro-lifers. A range of survey questions indicate that there was actually a slight increase in pro-life sentiment in 2025.

Overall, 43 percent of respondents identified as “pro-life,” a two percentage point gain from last year’s Gallup survey. There were also small gains in the percentage of people who thought abortion was “morally wrong” and the percentage of people who thought abortion should either be “illegal” or “legal in only a few circumstances.”

Most of the media coverage of this most recent Gallup poll has focused on a growing gender gap in abortion attitudes. From the mid-1990s into the late 2010s, most Gallup surveys found that men and women had fairly similar attitudes on abortion. As recently as 2019, men were actually more likely than women to identify as “pro-choice.” However, this most recent survey showed that 61 percent of women identified as “pro-choice” as opposed to only 41 percent of men — a 20 percentage point gender gap.

Free speech and religious freedom advocates, groups speaking out on the harms of radical gender ideology, and 22 states have filed friend-of-the-court briefs in support of two Vermont families who had their foster-care licenses revoked by Vermont because of their religious beliefs. On May 30, Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys representing the families filed their opening brief with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit in Wuoti v. Winters.

Despite a track record of success and high praise from social workers who knew Brian and Katy Wuoti and Bryan and Rebecca Gantt, Vermont’s Department for Children and Families revoked their foster-care licenses after the couples expressed their religiously inspired and widely held belief that girls cannot become boys or vice versa. The state applies this policy categorically—prohibiting families with these views from caring for any child, even if they sought to care for a relative, provide respite care for an infant for just one day, or care for a child who shared their faith.

“Vermont’s foster-care system is in crisis: There aren’t enough families to care for vulnerable kids,” said ADF Senior Counsel Johannes Widmalm-Delphonse. “As numerous states have attested, religious families play a critical role in the foster-care system. Yet instead of inviting families from diverse backgrounds to help care for vulnerable kids, Vermont is shutting the door on them, putting its ideological agenda ahead of the needs of suffering kids. When it comes to finding kids a loving home, everyone should be able to recognize that the needs of kids should come first. And even Vermont agrees that the Wuotis and the Gantts are loving and caring parents willing to open their door to any child.”

Last I checked, “pride” was considered the grandaddy of the seven deadly sins in the Christian faith.

Pretty much every one of the thinkers who dealt with this question in the first thirteen centuries of the church — from Pope Gregory I, who called it “the queen of sins” to Thomas Aquinas, who said it is “the cause whereby other sins are rendered more grievous” — agreed, and this was pretty much undisputed until the world started secularizing.

Now, we have a whole month dedicated to “pride” — in which another of the deadly sins, “lust,” is also heartily celebrated — and lo and behold, we have the left’s new favorite Christian prelate celebrating it heartily not just as a thing in itself but as an antidote to President Donald Trump.

Bishop Mariann Budde, the first female to hold that position in the Episcopal Diocese of Washington and now on minute 13.5 of her latest 15 minutes of fame for her version of performative Christianity at the National Prayer Service after Donald Trump’s inauguration in January — announced in an interview with USA Today published Monday that she’s now praying for pride.

U.S. tennis player Coco Gauff has become the first American woman to win the French Open since 2015 and after her victory Sunday, and she claimed she is very patriotic to be an American… but only for “people that look like her.”

“It means a lot. Obviously, there’s a lot going on in our country right now,” Gauff said, according to Fox News. “Just to be a representation of that and a representation of people that look like me in America, who maybe don’t feel as supported during this time period.

“Some people may feel some type of way about being patriotic and things like that, but I’m definitely patriotic. I’m proud to be American. I’m proud to represent Americans that look like me and people who kind of support the things that I support,” she explained.

Harvard Law Review Digs Itself Into Deeper Hole Amid Fight With Feds. Plus, Who’s Behind the New Columbia Encampment Doc?– freebeacon.com

Excerpt:

From bad to worse: The Harvard Law Review is facing multiple federal probes over reports, published in the Free Beacon, of racial discrimination at the journal. Its conduct in the face of those probes has only added to the furor.

The Review, our Aaron Sibarium reports, “retaliated against a student editor for allegedly leaking documents … and demanded, as part of the journal’s disciplinary process, that he request their destruction.” Those actions came as the journal “was under a document retention order” from the feds. As a result, they “verged on witness intimidation and could get the law review in even deeper trouble with the government,” attorneys told Sibarium.

“What do they call it when a criminal tries to intimidate the witness?” said Jason Torchinsky, a former official in the Justice Department’s civil rights division. “If you know someone is a witness in a federal investigation, and you try to intimidate them into stopping cooperation with the government, that in itself is its own offense.”

Band-aid over a bullet hole: Racial discrimination isn’t the only problem plaguing Harvard. There’s also the issue of pervasive anti-Semitism and anti-Israel bias on its campus—something the school pledged to combat in part by hiring a Professor in Residence in Modern Jewish Studies at its Divinity School. That professor, Harvard announced on Wednesday, is self-proclaimed “counter-Zionist” Shaul Magid.

For Magid, Zionism is “unjust” and can be “set aside” along with “Manifest Destiny, colonialism, and any number of other chauvinistic and ethnocentric ideologies of the past.”

Magid’s appointment did not land well with Rabbi David Wolpe, who spent a year as a visiting scholar at Harvard’s Divinity School. Magid’s views are “very fringe” and don’t “represent anything like the mainstream view of the American Jewish community,” Wolpe told us. “He is not an answer to the problem that Harvard has with their Jewish students or with the exclusion of mainstream views.”
