Sandy Shoshani, National Director of the Be’ad Chaim pro-life ministry in Israel whom we support, states that 2 million babies have been aborted since the founding of Israel in 1948. In the Holocaust, 1.5 million children were killed.

Here’s a quick round-up of Trump’s life-affirming actions since he took office, which definitively mark him as the most pro-life president in United States history.

Donald J. Trump and J. D. Vance have done more in their first five days in office than just about any other presidential team in history. Making America much more pro-life is an integral part of making America great again.

We are not told if the traveller eventually continued travelling down the road to Jericho after he recovered from his injuries. Presumably, he did. May many women continue their pregnancy journey because they have been shown mercy!

There’s plenty to be amazed about when we think of Jesus, but one particular aspect of Him has me constantly astounded. As the Holy One of God walks around, we see an amazing paradox: those who should be most fearful of Him – people steeped in sin – actually flee to Him.

On the eve of the national March for Life rally in Washington, President Donald Trump announced 23 January he was issuing pardons for 23 protesters arrested for violating the federal Freedom of Access to Clinics (FACE) Act.

The antidote to lies is the truth. Jesus has told us in the book of John: “And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” Our broken world is crying out for those who know the truth to speak it.

Who is the "greatest" in God's Kingdom? Someone who is humble like all little children. One clear way to become humble is to sincerely love little children, the unborn and newborn, and lovingly welcome them just as Jesus did.

As we consider the injustice of babies born alive and left to die, and the injustice of the Crisafulli gag motion, we should meditate on why powerful people find their careers threatened by children to the point where they decree their killing.

In the always-remaining, culture-defying objective truth of the Gospel, meaning is found in those few precious, all-sacrificial words in John 3:16, ‘For God so loved’. That is why we LOVE babies in the womb, that is why we LOVE their mothers and their fathers.

If the action of abortion is not consistent with loving God and my neighbour as God commands, and is therefore not consistent with worshipping God in Spirit and Truth, then does abortion actually constitute worship of another entity?

Donald Trump has been inaugurated as president of the United States for the second time. While there may be surface political change and new political dynamics, what about the state of civilisation?

Robin Millhouse, the main architect of South Australia's abortion reform laws, expressed the burden he carried for being part of that reform. “I deeply regret that the medical profession — and the lawyers — interpreted the law too widely. It has become abortion on demand. I did not intend it to be that.”

In a world where the voiceless are often ignored, the unborn are among the most vulnerable. Over 80,000 lives are lost annually to abortion in Australia alone — a statistic that demands both our attention and action.

Our thankfulness to God for who He is, and what He has already done, provides a wonderful foundation for all the prayers we will yet pray.

We are the empowered ones to take up the battle to see an end to abortion. It takes courage and unity to not give up but to listen to the Lord’s strategy — to abide in Him asking for wisdom, knowing that the timing of the destruction of the enemies’ work is in God’s timing.

Last Wednesday night, the Canberra Declaration officially launched our 21 days of prayer and fasting for life (the unborn). Each year in Australia, about the same number of people are lost to abortion as all the wars we've ever been involved in. This is a tragedy of tragedies.

If there is a moral obligation for us to oppose abortion in more than word and thought, what deeds might satisfy this obligation? I would like to propose five simple steps we can take to socially and politically advance the cause of ending abortion in our nation.

There’s a local law in Carbondale, Illinois, that prohibits “approaching women outside clinics to advise of abortion alternatives”. A pro-life advocacy group has challenged this law time and again. The U.S. Supreme Court is considering whether it will hear the petition put forth by Coalition Life.

In anticipation of these 21 days of prayer and fasting for life (19 January to 8 February), the Canberra Declaration will hold a Zoom prayer meeting on Wednesday night (15 January). And you are invited!
