An aggressive assault on virtue
Virtue is in the news, and people are outraged. As we wrote on Tuesday, Attorney Bill Barr gave a sweeping speech at Notre Dame University on religion and virtue and their role in the American “experiment.” Barr described the Founders’ vision for our republic: “They would leave “the People” broad liberty, limit the coercive power…
Read MoreTwo speeches from the Trump administration honor God
Two of the most powerful positions in the president’s cabinet are the office of the Attorney General and the Secretary of State. On October 11th, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Attorney General William Barr both gave speeches on a singularly polarizing subject: God. The venues were different. Attorney General Barr spoke at Notre Dame University…
Read MoreThe oddity of abortion politics
This election cycle is producing increasingly odd and disturbing abortion politics.

Let’s review abortion politics in a rapid fire Q & A format: When does life…
Read MoreCalifornia pioneers taxpayer funded abortion pills for college coeds
What a difference a year makes. As we wrote in a blogpost last year, outgoing California Governor, Jerry Brown, vetoed a bill that would provide taxpayer-funded abortion pills for California co-eds.

Read MorePublic policy in the aftermath of the Dr. Klopfer revelations
You read about Ulrich George Klopfer this week. He’s the abortion doctor who just died, and his family discovered the remains of 2,246 aborted fetuses in his home, reminiscent of the Kermit Gosnell story. Pro-life supporters are repulsed by the macabre need for some abortionists to preserve “trophies” of their victims. Even folks who tend…

IFL is a non-partisan pro-life group. However, if you’re looking for a single reason to vote against Democratic candidates, it would be their intractable opposition to the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act.
