Last night, while traveling home from California, which had just passed one of the country’s most radical abortion measures, I spent a layover in Texas. As I rushed from one airport gate to the next, my phone pinged with election results, and not the results I had hoped for. In a moment of frustration, it cynically dawned on me that the entirety of my day was spent jumping through hoops to get from one abortion sanctuary to another; I would return to Logan hauling both luggage and the expectation of trudging along once again, in the uphill fight for life, with which we in Massachusetts are more than a little familiar — a familiar that sometimes feels like the impossible.

The pro-life movement has recognized the danger of medication abortions that take place at home. Now, a top government spokesperson admits concern over the safety of chemical abortion prescriptions.

Bad officials are elected by good citizens who do not vote. -George Jean Nathan

“Mom, I want to be president someday,” my 7-year-old announced from the back of the minivan. “How do I get people to vote for me?” So began a lengthy Q&A with my son about politics. Before our conversation, he understood that a winning platform involves a suit and being on TV a lot. Afterwards, he sat quietly before sharing his pitch. “Well,” he began. “I definitely think everyone should get a turn to be principal. And bad guys can’t be allowed to hurt people.”

If you’ve lived in Massachusetts for a while, you’re familiar with the often-wobbly reasoning that supports local ordinances. I’ve lived here for 21 years, until recently in ultra-progressive Hampshire County. I thought I’d seen it all. And yet I’m still shaking my head after what I experienced during a hearing in Cambridge yesterday.

All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us. - J.R.R. Tolkien

It is with sorrow that I send this message today, yet it is an honor to reflect on the good man about whom I write. As you might have learned, Dr. Mark Rollo, longtime MCFL Board member and lifelong Massachusetts pro-life warrior, passed away suddenly on August 19. His death shocked all who knew him and prompted many to comment on the unjust loss of a man who spent years ensuring just treatment of others. 

This is an email I wish I did not have to send. But you need to know what’s going on, and we need your help.

A word is dead when it is said, some say. I say it just begins to live that day. - Emily Dickinson

After nearly fifty years and 65 million lives lost due to abortion on demand, the Supreme Court finally overturned Roe v. Wade today. We did it!!!

"My cousin, a single mom, told me the reason she didn't have an abortion was because my mom took the time to explain how precious every child is, and that being a mother was a gift."

Let everything you do be done in love. - 1 Corinthians 16:14
