Canadians hosted hundreds of American air passengers whose planes were grounded on 9/11. They opened their hearts and their homes to us. During the Iranian hostage crisis of 1979-81, fearless Canadian diplomats in Tehran helped smuggle out of that maddened country endangered Americans. (more)

It was deeply disappointing to read Congressman Bart Stupak’s op-ed, “Why I wrote the ‘Stupak Amendment’ and voted for health-care reform,” which appeared in the Washington Post on March 27. It was disappointing because it contained an attack on the integrity of pro-life organizations, like mine, that fought to keep abortion out of health care reform, and because it mischaracterized the bill and the executive order that President Obama signed. (more)

Apparently pro-life groups are not welcome on certain places on Duke University’s campus. (more)

Women love a hero. We love a strong man we can admire and praise. We pro-life women thought Rep. Bart Stupak was our man, but oh were we so wrong. It turns out Bart Stupak is “just not that into us.” Unfortunately, it was a very public betrayal. He dumped us for the president and a meaningless piece of paper, but more importantly he turned his back on unborn children. (more)

In response to a March 14, 2010, op-ed in the Washington Post by T.R. Reid, titled “Universal health care tends to cut the abortion rate,” Americans United for Life vice president for legal affairs William Saunders offers the following rebuttal. (more)

In the aftermath of Scott Brown’s historic victory in Massachusetts, some observers were quick to ask a hard question: did pro-life organizations and individuals sell their souls in campaigning for Brown, a pro-choice Republican and supporter of Roe v. Wade? In other words, did political expediency trump ideological commitment for pro-lifers? (more)

Planned Parenthood’s latest walk down scandalous lane was brought to light when Live Action’s pro-life student team released an undercover video exposing a Birmingham Planned Parenthood’s violation of Alabama state laws. (more)

The National Organization for Women (NOW) just can’t seem to get enough of Pam and Tim Tebow. After several weeks of sweating over the likelihood of a “pro-life, anti-abortion” ad featuring the Tebows and sponsored by Focus on the Family, the president of NOW, Terry O’Neill, is claiming that the Super Bowl ad promotes domestic violence. (more)

Tony Campolo, a Baptist minister from Philadelphia and the founder of the Red Letter Christian movement, worked tirelessly to help Democrats take over Washington in 2008. He had a hand in crafting the Democratic presidential campaign platform and talked about Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton on college campuses, creating a media firestorm. (more)

A few years ago, there would never have been a question about the Focus on the Family Super Bowl ad featuring Tim Tebow and his mom, Pam. It’s a heartwarming story about a family who had to make a choice. Pam Tebow was doing missionary work in the Philippines, got sick and was advised by her doctor that she might want to abort her baby. They didn’t know if the illness would affect the baby, and with four other children and a husband depending on her, the option was put out there. Pam Tebow chose to have her baby and that baby turned out to be star quarterback for the University of Florida, Tim Tebow. As a dyed-in-the-wool University of Georgia Bulldog, I hate giving anything to the Florida Gators, but this is a great story. (more)

Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow’s Super Bowl debut—in a commercial rather than the game—is striking up a controversy that may in the end do more good than harm. And Tim Tebow deserves credit for using his fame to provoke thought on this truly consequential issue, at a time when athletic superstars are better known for extramarital affairs or brandishing weapons in the locker room. (more)
