Feminism Is Why Actress Allison Janney Was Never Taught About Fertility

Modern feminists will likely blame 'all the misogyny in the world' for their lack of education, but the culpability actually lies with the feminists themselves.

'You should have been aborted': Why Harvard students greet my pro-life testimony with hate



As I've spoken on the topics of adoption and abortion all across this nation, woke professors, miseducated student activists, politicians, and fake feminists have told me that I should have been aborted. It isn't always in those exact words, but it's always the exact sentiment.

I heard it most bluntly at Harvard.

We live in a culture that says if you're unplanned, you will be unwanted and unloved. It's simply untrue.

I'd been invited to speak at one of the inaugural events for Harvard Law Students for Life. The night before, lying in my hotel room, my mind kept betraying me: I'm not worthy. I'm not worthy. I don't come from an Ivy League school. How could I possibly hold my ground on Harvard soil?

Speak, man

The next morning, standing in the shower, still telling myself I couldn't do this, I looked up to shift the water and reached for the nozzle — and just laughed. Printed on the showerhead was a single word: SPEAKMAN. Speak, man. I'd never seen that brand before in my life, but it branded my heart with a divine confidence. I was made to do this.

The room, when I arrived, was packed. The Harvard professor invited to offer the opposing view showed up late with nothing prepared. I shared my personal story, dispelled the myth of the "unwanted" child, and laid out the numbers: More black babies are aborted than born alive in some American cities; abortion rates among blacks is up to six times higher than among whites — a gap poverty and insurance rates alone can't explain.

They didn't like my take on history, equality, or abortion's violent inequity. The hour-long Q&A that followed was a cacophony of ad hominem attacks and jeers that had almost nothing to do with the subject matter. The professor called my adoption story — a story where a woman proved she was stronger than her circumstances and chose life for her child — "a cute story."

Afterward, several students came down to share more of their animosity. One called me a vulgar name. Another asked how it felt to be a puppet. And one activist leaned in and told me, flatly, that I should have been aborted.

Hate, not debate

At another Christian college, a dean pulled me aside after a similar talk and told me, "Thank you so much for that. You handled that with so much grace." Two days later, his own department sent a school-wide email denouncing me, claiming my comments made students "feel unheard, underrepresented, and unsafe." Truth, it turns out, is unsafe. Victimhood is potent.

This has been my experience at too many colleges and universities. They want to hate, not debate. Higher learning has become mired learning from coast to coast. It's not every school, not every professor, not every student. But it's endemic to academia. The solution is courage. Like fear, it's contagious. Unlike fear, it illuminates, educates, and motivates.

Brokenness into breakthrough

I can never let lies like that faze me. My own story is reflected in so many other lives the world is quick to write off — lives that need someone to care, someone to speak, someone to act. I fight for the most marginalized among the marginalized, because that was once me.

We live in a culture that says if you're unplanned, you will be unwanted and unloved. It's simply untrue. My life began in violence but became one of victory. I'm forever grateful my birth mom didn't remove me from the frame of life. That painfully courageous decision sent ripples through time — to my own marriage, to my four children, to family I didn't even know existed until last fall.

None of us can control the circumstances of our conception. None of us can control much of what happens in our lives for that matter. God turns brokenness into breakthrough all the time. How we rise when we’re faced with the seemingly insurmountable shows the true beauty and resilience of our humanity. In a world that is constantly searching for meaning, this simple truth is sometimes the most evasive: We’re all meant to be.

Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett detailed a recent swatting incident while testifying before Congress on Tuesday, explaining how her family has been the victim of repeated threats and intimidation tactics. It should have been a watershed moment, especially given that several justices were the targets of a bombing just months ago. Instead, Rep. Rosa […]

The liberty we cherish must extend to ALL Americans — especially the most defenseless



Why can’t America seem to get "created equal" right?

It’s our national creed. It’s our DNA. Yet here we are, heading into America’s 250th year, and “We the People” still does not include all the people.

I was conceived in rape but adopted into a diverse family of 15 with nine other adopted siblings.

I just want to clarify the language to avoid ambiguity. Every human is a person; every person is a human. All of us begin life at fertilization. Every compromise on personhood has always resulted in discrimination, destruction, and death.

Give me liberty

Most of us are familiar with Patrick Henry's famous 1775 speech, in particular this passage:

“Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”

Henry's words became the rallying cry for what would soon become the American Revolution; yet his fiery eloquence was belied by his own denial of liberty to those he enslaved. This is what a soul compromised looks like.

In a letter responding to a Quaker abolitionist challenging him on his hypocrisy, Henry answered in a pathetic yet painfully honest way:

“Would anyone believe that I am master of slaves by my own purchase? I am drawn along by the general inconvenience of living without them. I will not — I cannot justify it, however culpable my conduct ... I believe a time will come when an opportunity will be afforded to abolish this lamentable evil.”

Choosing evil

Isn’t this exactly where our culture is? We know killing our own children via elective abortion is a lamentable evil, but our society is drawn to the convenience of it all. It cannot be justified. Someone else — the innocent and defenseless unborn child — should pay for the ease of my existence!

The Supreme Court had an opportunity to correct half a century of a supremely wrong decision. The nation’s highest court finally overturned Roe in the historic Dobbs decision on June 24, 2022, declaring there is no constitutional right to abortion.

There were many reasons why I rejoiced over Dobbs. I was conceived in rape but adopted into a diverse family of 15 with nine other adopted siblings. I married an incredibly resilient woman, single mother to a child the biological father had pressured her to abort. Two of my four kids were adopted. My new book and documentary, "Should Have Been Aborted," detail this journey of a life many say should never have been lived.

Words of humility

Tragically, in a judicial compromise, the court promptly allowed states to decide on who gets to live and who gets to die. Life is not a states’ rights issue any more than slavery, women’s suffrage, or racial discrimination. Imagine a modern-day patchwork of state-by-state laws allowing varying levels of chattel slavery, unequal voting rights by gender, and codified racism. This is what we currently have with abortion.

The Declaration of Independence reminds us that our most fundamental rights are not granted by a morally inconsistent government. The most powerful nation on earth began with these words of humility: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.”

Are we a happier nation after depriving ourselves of 67 million members of our posterity?

Failure to defend

Despite a Republican-led administration and Congress, the failure to defend life continues. After initially defunding Planned Parenthood for 10 years, the GOP caved. The final version of Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill Act only defunded the corrupt abortion wing of the Democratic Party for one measly year, which expires on July 4.

Recently, when asked by a reporter about where his administration stood on extending the defunding of Planned Parenthood, President Trump kind of shrugged it off as a “thorny issue.” (Although Trump has implemented tremendous pro-life policies, his conflicting abortion rhetoric is antithetical to a pro-life worldview.) There is no current federal bill even being considered that bans abortion.

Comprise kills the justice millions deserve.

The GOP used to be led by a faction called “Radical Republicans,” who fought uncompromisingly for the erasure of the evil institution of slavery. Today, they’re led by “Rickety Republicans,” who often fail to put up a fight against Planned Parenthood and the evil institution of baby killing.

If conviction doesn’t drive you, compromise inevitably will. America’s children deserve better.

The pro-life movement won Roe — so why is it losing the war?



The overturning of Roe v. Wade was supposed to be the pro-life movement’s greatest victory. Instead, abortion pills have become increasingly accessible, and abortions rates have skyrocketed.

BlazeTV host Steve Deace is well aware why that is.

“We’re having this big debate right now within our pro-life circles about how to proceed moving forward. And somehow we’ve been exceedingly stalled,” Deace says, pointing out that “nothing of significance” has happened in the pro-life movement since the overturning of Roe.

“Not only that, since we overturned Roe, basically every mailbox can have an abortion pill in America right now. Right? So something has clearly and systemically gone wrong,” he continues.


“We pulled off D-Day, but now we’re losing the war,” he adds.

One of the main reasons why the pro-life movement has stalled, Deace explains, is there is a “deep division over a particular tactic, and it’s the question of abolition as it’s called in some places.”

“My buddy Seth Gruber calls it equal protection, and it’s the idea that if you commit a murder, you should be held accountable as we hold people accountable for committing any other form of murder. And the mainstream pro-life movement is adamantly against this,” he explains.

“The biggest source of opposition to this in the mainstream pro-life side, frankly, is they just don’t think it’s politically viable, and it’ll get us nuked,” he adds.

However, Deace doesn’t think they truly believe in their mainstream pro-life beliefs.

“I don’t believe very many mainstream pro-life leaders truly believe in a second generation of third-wave feminism, there’s just a bunch of scared girls who don’t know what to do, like my mom 50 years ago before we saw what, you know, thermal imaging inside of the womb looked like,” he explains, noting that they’re making “political calculations.”

However, there has to be political calculations.

“We’re human beings in a fallen world,” he says, before giving his solution.

“We’re going to ban all the abortions except your so-called exceptions. Are you in? Not because we agree that there’s exceptions to murder, but we’re going to call forth a false objection. We’re going to call a bluff,” he explains.

“We’ll even let the doctor determine if it’s an exception or not. Think they’d still take the deal? No. And why won’t they take the deal?” he asks, adding, “Because they want to kill them all.”
