SPOTLIGHT: 40 Days to Pray

Written by Alyssa Sonnenburg

“We are here to pray for sure. We are a peaceful prayer movement, and we always have been.”

In this special episode of Spotlight, Monte Larrick interviews Catherine Walker, one of the leaders of 40 Days for Life Aurora. Catherine emphasizes the importance of getting involved in the prayer vigil– a time to pray for “image bearers that are at risk.”

Unfortunately, the fall of Roe v. Wade has been the pro-life work more difficult for pro-life centers in the state of Illinois.… Continue Reading

Is Harris’ Faith in God or in Government?

Written by Dr. Everett Piper

[Last] week, Vice President Kamala Harris tweeted, “One does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree” with her and presumably vote for her in November.

In response to the post, former Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy asked the following.

“Dear Vice President, I hear you make this statement all the time. Exactly what ’faith’ are you talking about?”

He went further:

“Are you talking about [the Christian faith] or some nebulous, general ’faith’ …?

Is Voting for Kamala Worth Babies’ Lives?

Written by Ecce Verum

A Newsweek article from August chronicles the many Republicans who have openly pledged their support for Kamala Harris.

Their list includes former Vice President Dick Cheney, former U.S. Representatives Liz Cheney (Wyoming), Adam Kinzinger (Illinois), former Trump White House official Stephanie Grisham, and a group of over 200 staffers for previous presidential Republican candidates.

Enough Republicans are feeling likewise that Newsweek reports a program started by the Harris campaign—”Republicans for Harris”—which is intentionally catering to Republicans who are rejecting Trump.Continue Reading

Praying Outside of an Abortion Clinic is Terrorism?

Written by Alyssa Sonnenburg

Is praying outside of an abortion clinic terrorism?

In this episode of Spotlight, Monte Larrick sits down with Constitutional attorney David Shestokas to discuss how pro-life activists in Illinois have been targeted by Eileen O’Neill Burke, a candidate for the Cook County State’s Attorney position, as it regards their Constitutional rights.

“She’s going after free speech… Possibly potentially freedom of religion… She’s intending to prosecute people not necessarily based on their conduct, but based on the content of their message.”

Wacky Walz: The 10 Most Radical Acts of Kamala’s Running Mate

Written by Daniel Horowitz

The election is a choice between San Francisco and Minneapolis anarcho-tyranny and Middle American ordered liberty. That must be the message every day from the Trump campaign now that Harris has tethered her San Francisco poop and drug fest to the infernos of Tim Walz’s Minneapolis riots.

Minnesota’s governor embodies anarcho-tyranny like no one before him. Democrats now contradict the social compact outlined in the preamble of the U.S. Constitution — “to establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare.”… Continue Reading

Voices Crying in the Internet Wildernesses

Written by Rev. Ceasar I. LeFlore

Besides Jesus Christ, John the Baptist is by far one of my most favored and respected heroes of the Christian Bible. His boldness and fearless proclamation of the truth concerning the imminent coming of the Kingdom of Christ, even to a hostile and spiritually blind world, caused him to be identified in New Testament Scripture as “the voice of one crying in the wilderness,prophesied by the prophet Isaiah in the Old Testament.… Continue Reading

Students for Life Action Demands GOP Remain Pro-Life

Written by Alyssa Sonnenburg

Since the reversal of Roe v. Wade in June of 2022, the pro-life issue has become more important than ever before.

With the Republican National Convention coming up on July 15th in Milwaukee, Students for Life Action (SFLAction) understands this crucial moment and is demanding that the Republican Party (Grand Old Party, GOP) maintain its pro-life stance.

While the GOP has been dedicated to the pro-life cause for decades, there are some Republicans (Republicans In Name Only, RINOs) that stand as a hindrance to the pro-life mission.… Continue Reading

Pro-Life/Pro-Family/Parents Rights in GOP Platform

Written by Paul Caprio

It is our understanding that the RNC is considering a national platform without mentioning pro-life, pro-family, or parents’ rights issues. That would be a major mistake. Here is why:

Pro-Life Catholics and evangelical Christians make up the largest single GOP voting bloc. Many are low frequency GOP voters, if they vote at all. In 2016 and 2020, evangelical Christians voted for President Donald Trump at a rate of 75-78 percent, according to most post-election polls.… Continue Reading

Why Do Most Women Support Joe Biden?

Written by Thomas Hampson

Why do so many women, a majority of them, support Joe Biden? Is it because of his abortion stance?

There was a surge of support for him in 2022 after the U.S. Supreme Court’s Roe v Wade decision. Is that the reason? Are women so committed to the “my body, my choice” mantra of the left that they can’t see beyond this issue?

I don’t understand.

It’s not like the U.S.… Continue Reading
