					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by David E. Smith</em></p>
<p><em>The New York Times</em> recently published a revealing article, titled “<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/15/us/planned-parenthood-clinics.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Botched Care and Tired Staff: Planned Parenthood in Crisis</a>.” In her article, a<a>uthor <strong>Katie Benner </strong></a>details a litany of alarming problems at Planned Parenthood clinics across the U.S. The report asserts that many clinics face a high level of staff turnover that is fueled by substandard pay and poor working conditions.</p>
<p>Drawing from clinic documents, legal filings, and interviews with over 50 current and former executives, consultants, and medical staff, the article highlights a pattern of financial strain, understaffing, and inadequate training that has compromised patient care.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/02/botched-care-at-planned-parenthood/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Robert Knight</em></p>
<p>We’ve had a very serious setback this last week in the cause of freedom, courtesy of a dozen “woke” Republican senators. But first, we’ll begin with a bit of pop culture that speaks to where we are as a nation.</p>
<p>Sad to say, <strong>Mariah Carey</strong> won’t be able to trademark “Queen of Christmas.” Yes, in time, we will get over this.</p>
<p>The ubiquitous songbird, whose “All I Want for Christmas Is You” is piped everywhere, tried to monopolize the title legally.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/11/christmas-queens-and-the-oxymoronically-named-respect-for-marriage-act/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The final results of this week&#8217;s election may remain unknown for days or weeks with five or more states still counting ballots. Our continued prayers are needed today and throughout the upcoming week for honesty and fairness to prevail. Pray that voter fraud of any type would be exposed. The Bible tells us in Proverbs 20:23 that the Lord hates unequal scales.</p>
<p>We should not be surprised to learn how wrong the predictions of the establishment media and pollsters have been again.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2020/11/update-from-the-political-front/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Democratic donors are feeling a lot lighter in the wallet this week, but how much do they have to show for it? While Fox News raced to call the U.S. House for Democrats, the real story behind the numbers is a crushing one for U.S. House Speaker <strong>Nancy Pelosi</strong> (D-CA). She didn&#8217;t just watch her majority shrink &#8212; she witnessed a foreboding flip of seats in solidly blue districts. Will she have control over the House when it&#8217;s all over?&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2020/11/idle-wave-the-democratic-landslide-that-wasnt/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>It was no surprise to pro-lifers on February 11<span class="ord">th</span> when the pro-abortion, Democrat-controlled Colorado House Committee on State, Veterans, and Military Affairs <a href="https://www.coloradopolitics.com/legislature/house-committee-strikes-down-two-abortion-bills-after-marathon-hearing/article_d4207fc8-4d0c-11ea-9fb3-abba93aa8e91.html">voted to postpone</a> and essentially kill <span class="caps">CO</span> <span class="caps">HB</span> 1068, which would have provided legal protection for infants born alive after a failed abortion attempt. It just so happens that this occurred on the same day that pro-abortion Democrats were fighting against a similar bill at the federal level at a hearing entitled “The Infant Patient: Ensuring Appropriate Medical Care for Children Born Alive.”&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2020/02/in-the-democratic-party-pro-abortion-extremism-knows-no-bounds/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p><em>Written by Daniel Horowitz</em></p>
<p>The state of the U.S. military readiness has been debated a lot recently while the U.S. Senate considers the law that specifies the budget for the Department of Defense for each fiscal year, also known as the <em>National Defense Authorization Act</em> or NDAA.  We’ve discussed several of those important questions and will follow up in subsequent articles on what is missing from the debate over the military and national defense.  For now I want to focus on the most egregious provision: including women in Selective Service, which can lead to a mandatory draft.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2016/06/drafting-women-is-not-only-immoral-it-is-disruptive/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>
