In this interview with The Christian Post, Live Action's founder and president, Lila Rose, discusses the state of the pro-life movement today and what laws she would like to see enacted to make life easier for women and their children in the post-Roe era. "Making America a friendlier place for families is a crucial pro-life public policy objective," Rose said. Listing legislative proposals designed to achieve that goal, which her organization supports, Rose said these plans include a tax credit for children that makes it "easier to raise a child," "financial support for pregnancy resource centers and non-abortion health centers" and "adoption tax credits." Pointing out the difficulties of raising children today due to economic struggles, Rose says the pro-life movement "should be focused on both private and public financial support for families to help them raise their children."

Although a majority of American Evangelicals do not identify as either Pentecostal or Charismatic Christians, a study from Infinity Concepts and Grey Matter Research shows that around 25% say they have spoken in tongues. The study surveyed more than 1,000 American Evangelicals and found that more than half of those who self-identify as Pentecostal or Charismatic do not attend a clearly Pentecostal church or denomination, such as Foursquare or the Assemblies of God. The research also identified what Infinity Concepts Founder and President Mark Dreistadt calls a "Renewalist (Pentecostal or Charismatic) Evangelical" and noted this group tends to be slightly younger than other Evangelicals, more likely to be raising children, more ethnically diverse, and more likely to live in less traditionally Christian parts of the country, such as the Northeast and West.

In this update to his original article on the subject, Robin Schumacher discusses the differences between atheists and "hatetheists" and how to engage with those who abandon constructive debate in favor of ad hominem attacks, name-calling, and arrogant behavior. "Our method of relating to the hatetheist needs to be a combination of obeying God’s command to take the Gospel to all people while at the same time following both Jesus’ and Paul’s model of not being a punching bag for their adversaries," Schumacher writes.

Here’s a quick update from Jim Daly, President of Focus on the Family, about why your gift to save even more precious, innocent preborn babies is more important than ever . . .

• Now that the Supreme Court has overturned Roe vs. Wade, many states have already moved to restrict abortion. But other states are already expanding and promoting abortion.
• That’s why Focus on the Family is working hard to equip as many pro-life pregnancy medical centers as possible nationwide with ultrasound capability.
• Then, even more women like Marta can see and hear their baby’s heartbeat — and choose life for their child.
• Right now, just $60 can save the life of a preborn baby!

Jerry Bowyer discusses "first movers"—those companies that were the first to vocalize their opposition to the reversal of Roe v. Wade—and questions why just 15% of those first mover companies are led by women CEOs. "It should come as no surprise that male-managed and male-governed companies are driving the pro-abortion phalanx of corporate America. No group more directly benefits from abortion than powerful men who are able to use the procedure to rid themselves of the unwanted results of their sexual encounters," Bowyer states. Read more.
