Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America is calling on the media to ask Democrats about their views on abortion after CNN anchors Dana Bash and Jake Tapper incorrectly claimed that President Joe Biden opposes late-term abortion. The organization took to Twitter to push back on the claims, tweeting that Biden "supports the long-expired ERA which would codify a so-called 'right' to no-limits abortion into law. The majority of Americans oppose these extremist policies," the group tweeted. "Yet this idea that Biden supports limits on abortion at 'the point of viability' persists at @CNN." Full Story. |

During remarks at the White House on Thursday, President Joe Biden slammed bills aimed at protecting children from permanent, body-mutilating sex-change surgeries, calling such moves "cruel and callous." Conservative radio show host Ben Shapiro, meanwhile, called out the White House's LGBT pride flag display, saying, "Not one American soldier fought and bled for this flag.

Exposing the Lie of Court "Reform"
|
The U.S. Supreme Court is one of the most respected and revered institutions in America. For more than 200 years, it has been a bulwark in protecting our liberties. In many cases, the nation’s highest court is the last line of defense for those whose constitutional, God-given rights come under attack. It’s no surprise why the judiciary consistently ranks as the most trusted branch of the federal government, according to Gallup. |
