VACCINE PASSPORTS VS. FREEDOM ITSELF: (American Institute for Economic Research, Paul E. Alexander) – “To reject the creeping totalitarianism and dictatorship is the lifeblood of all freedom-loving individuals across the world. Those under despotic control yearn for freedom. We need only to look at the failing state of Hong Kong, where once freedom reigned and commerce enjoyed an unprecedented expansion of wealth and enviable quality of life, and now finds its democratic pursuits thwarted while it cowers under the dictates of Chinese Communism […] And it is with that in mind that we find ourselves both stunned and aghast concerning the fact that our Governments are even considering the issuance of what have become known as Covid-19 ‘vaccine passports.’” Read the full op-ed here.

KANSAS SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS LAW BANNING WRONGFUL BIRTH LAWSUITS THAT ENCOURAGE ABORTIONS: (LifeNews.com) – “Children with disabilities won a victory in court Friday when the Kansas Supreme Court upheld a law that prohibits ‘wrongful birth’ lawsuits. Kansas passed the law in 2013 to prohibit the discriminatory lawsuits and protect unborn babies with disabilities. ‘Wrongful birth’ lawsuits occur when parents sue doctors for allegedly failing to provide information that would have led them to abort their unborn babies.” Read the full story here.

I SURVIVED AN ABORTION. AN ABORTIONIST TRIED TO KILL ME, BUT HE FAILED: (LifeNews.com, Melissa Ohden) – “Abortion survivors remain a mystery to most. Even if you’ve been involved in the pro-life movement for decades and have met a handful of us, we are still by and large a bit of an enigma outside of our own community.” Read the full op-ed here.
