Op-Ed: Vote No On Prop 1… Again

Well, it’s all but official. Word is that pro-abortion activists found enough signatures to get their radical and deceptive “Reproductive Freedom and Privacy Act” on the November ballot. I’ve never seen such a dishonest title. Abortion is not about freedom, it’s not about privacy, and it’s certainly not about reproduction. Abortion is the deliberate destruction […]

Humanity and Abortion

Idaho has one of the most comprehensive abortion laws in the United States, effectively banning the procedure at all stages of pregnancy with narrow exceptions. The state’s framework consists of multiple overlapping statutes, primarily enacted or triggered after the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2022 decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. […]

Labrador Letter: Idaho’s Defense of Life Act

Dear Friends, I’m pleased to share the Trump Department of Justice dismissed the previous administration’s attack on Idaho’s Defense of Life Act. I have been fighting against the Biden Administration’s twisted interpretation of federal statutes to keep individual states from enacting pro-life laws for the last two years, and this dismissal is a welcome relief.

Context is absolutely critical in this discussion so let us first understand that there are emergency indications for a therapeutic D&C and possibly other operative interventions. Nobody disagrees about these indications. Most commonly the list includes an ectopic […]

Mr. Burke and Mr. Lincoln

The Progressive wing of the Democratic Party continues its’ unrelenting march of divisiveness. Placing individuals into categories and competing factions has been the modus operandi of Saul Alinsky sycophants since the early 1960’s. They purposefully and thoughtfully create conflicts instead of trying to create harmony. Marxist theory requires class warfare. The oppressed vs the oppressor. […]
