Truth supports, advances and accomplishes our mission. I write today to share new truths we’ve learned, so you can, in turn, share them with others.

I am disheartened to let you know that retail pharmacies will soon be allowed to sell the abortion pill, because of an approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Thanks to you and your consistent stance against physician-assisted suicide, we celebrate today after the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled that our state's Constitution does not include a right to the procedure.

Perhaps the best thing about a Thanksgiving feast is how surprisingly easy it is to prepare the main course: put turkey into oven, achieve safe temperature for human consumption, take turkey out of oven. Voila! It's the culinary equivalent of “just the facts, ma’am.” 

We just received confirmation that Governor Baker has VETOED $1 million of taxpayer money, which our legislators voted to use to disparage the pregnancy resource centers of our state. The governor simply writes, "I am striking language that earmarks funding for a program not recommended."

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.
