Trump pardons 23 pro-life activists

President Donald Trump issued pardons for 23 pro-life activists on Thursday, fulfilling a promise he made during the presidential campaign.
Trump signed the pardons on Thursday in the Oval Office of the White House on the day before the March for Life to be held in Washington, D.C., according to the Thomas More Society.
Last week, the religious liberty law firm petitioned the incoming president to issue 21 individual pardons for pro-life advocates who were arrested for violating the federal Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act and “Conspiracy Against Rights” statute while peacefully engaging in protests at abortion clinics.
Several of those convicted and imprisoned were elderly and in poor health.
At least two times during his 2024 campaign for the presidency, Trump said he intended to release pro-life activists who are currently imprisoned.
“These peaceful pro-life Americans mistreated by [President Joe] Biden include grandparents, pastors, a Holocaust survivor, and a Catholic priest — all are selfless, sincere patriots,” the petition from the Chicago-based law firm reads.
During Biden’s four years in office, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) brought charges against more than 30 people who took part in pro-life demonstrations under the FACE Act, which was legislation in the 1990s to increase penalties for people who obstruct access to abortion clinics or pregnancy resource centers.
Although the FACE Act’s higher sentences also apply to people who obstruct or damage pro-life pregnancy centers, Biden’s DOJ only brought charges in two cases regarding attacks on those facilities despite more than 100 incidents occurring under his tenure.
“While Biden’s prosecutors almost entirely ignored the firebombing and vandalism of hundreds of pro-life churches and pregnancy centers, they viciously pursued pro-life Americans,” the petition adds.
The longest sentence was given last year to Lauren Handy, who received four years and nine months in prison for her role in a protest at an abortion clinic in Washington, D.C. The second longest was also given last year to Bevelyn Beatty Williams, who received three years and five months in prison for a protest inside an abortion clinic in New York City.
Several pro-life activists in their mid-to-late 70s also received multiyear sentences for their protests.
“These 21 peaceful pro-lifers, many of whom are currently imprisoned for bravely standing up for unborn life, are upstanding citizens and pillars of their communities,” Steve Crampton, who works as senior counsel for the Thomas More Society, said in a statement.
This is a developing story.

President Trump Signs Executive Order Affirming ‘Biological Reality of Sex’| National Catholic Register
President Donald Trump has signed an executive order billed as “defending women from gender ideology extremism,” one that the White House says restores “biological truth to the federal government.”
Trump, who centered the transgender issue during much of his 2024 presidential campaign, signed the order on Monday, the first day of his return to the U.S. presidency.
“Across the country, ideologues who deny the biological reality of sex have increasingly used legal and other socially coercive means to permit men to self-identify as women and gain access to intimate single-sex spaces and activities designed for women, from women’s domestic abuse shelters to women’s workplace showers,” the executive orders states. “This is wrong.”
The executive order is sweeping in nature. Its application will include removing gender ideology guidance, communication, policies, and forms from governmental agencies. It explicitly affirms that the word “woman” means “adult human female.” And it orders that government identification like passports and personnel records must reflect biological reality and “not self-assessed gender identity.”
The order establishes a government-wide acknowledgement of the reality of biological sex, including the explicit assertion that there are only two sexes, male and female.
It also puts an end to the practice of housing men in women’s prisons and brings an end to the use of taxpayer money to fund “transitions” for prisoners.
Additionally, the order directs that the U.S. attorney general shall “issue guidance to ensure the freedom to express the binary nature of sex and the right to single-sex spaces in workplaces and federally funded entities covered by the Civil Rights Act of 1964.”
At a rally in Washington, D.C., on Sunday prior to his inauguration, Trump told the crowd he also intends to “keep men out of women’s sports.”
Trump Reverses Biden’s LGBT DirectivesThe move is a stark reversal from former President Joe Biden’s directives on gender on his first day in office four years ago.
At that time Biden ordered the federal government to “review all existing orders, regulations, guidance documents, policies, programs, or other agency actions” in an effort to bolster transgender “rights.” Trump on Monday also formally rescinded Biden’s order.
Trump on Monday also rescinded rules set by Biden that withheld federal money from schools, including colleges, that failed to adhere to the government’s gender ideology.
The directives were hailed by conservatives on Monday.
“In a shocking return to normalcy, Trump’s first executive orders will rescind all of Biden’s orders promoting gender ideology and revert to regular human recognition of male and female,” wrote Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, on X ahead of the signing of the order.
Two senior administration officials framed the executive order in terms of protecting women, telling The Free Press: “Women deserve protections, they deserve dignity, they deserve fairness, they deserve safety. And so this is going to help establish that in federal policy and in federal laws.”
Trump made issues surrounding transgenderism central to his campaign, often remarking on the stump his desire to get “the transgender insanity“ out of schools and other areas of public life.
“Just take a look at the polling,” an administration official told The Free Press. “The public is broadly in favor of the president’s and of the Republican Party’s stance on gender. That there are two biological sexes is something that the public is supportive of.”
A New York Times/Ipsos poll, conducted between Jan. 2 and Jan. 10, found that 49% of respondents said that “society has gone too far in accommodating transgender people,” compared with 28% who believe society has struck a reasonable balance on the issue and 21% who believe society has not gone far enough.

Run With Life: Finance committee biased against pro-life charities
'In Canada, anti-abortion organizations use misleading information in an attempt to dissuade people from seeking safe abortion and some politicians are promoting disinformation regarding sexuality education and gender-affirming care.'
This misinformation and disinformation from ACSHR resulted in this recommendation from the Report of the Standing Committee on Finance:
ACSHR makes unproven and already debunked allegations about pro-life charities, and this results in the Standing Committee on Finance recommending that pro-life charities lose their charitable status. Is this for real? Did the committee verify these allegations? Did they do any checking at all on the validity of these claims? Because if they did they would have learned that any disinformation and misinformation comes from the pro-abortion side of the divide.
Unbelievably, this committee is willing to recommend that an entire sector of charities lose their charitable status, based on untruths. These falsehoods come from an organization that has received millions of dollars in government grants, all the while Pro-life charities receive no government grants.
And should a charity that receives millions, be allowed to lobby the government to remove the charitable status from another charity? Is this ethical? Or are ethics not important anymore?

Why does the government fund far-right hate and not far-left hate?
"The judge said that the statements made had the benefit of being true, noting that, “CAHN did in fact assist Antifa and that the movement has been violent,” and it would be reasonable to state that it is not a “good look” for a human rights organization to support a violent movement. Additionally, the judge concluded the defence of fair comment could apply, meaning the opinions expressed by the Kays could be reasonably drawn from the known facts and were not expressed out of malice. The judge noted that even “Warman’s evidence was that he and CAHN were part of the Antifa movement,” and its “muscular resistance” and “physical disruption” were known to two other board members."

Parents of minor kids voted for Trump by wide margin after backing Biden-Harris in 2020
Finally,we have a leader who cares. Thank you God!
CV NEWS FEED // According to exit polling from NBC News, parents of minor children backed President-elect Donald Trump over failed Democratic nominee Kamala Harris by a nine-point margin – a shift of 15 points from the 2020 election.
In the 2024 race, Trump won voters who have children under the age of 18 living at home with them – 27% of the electorate – with 53% of the vote compared to 44% for Harris.
Harris won all the remaining voters by two points, 50% to 48%, meaning that parents with minor children were a crucial demographic to Trump’s decisive victory.
In 2020, parents with minor children not only supported the Biden-Harris ticket by six points, but they were three points more likely to vote Democratic than voters who did not have minor children living at home.
Four years ago, 52% of parents with children under 18 at home backed Biden-Harris, compared to 46% who backed Trump – also according to NBC exit polling. Among all other voters, 51% backed the Democratic ticket and 58% favored Trump.
Among fathers living with their minor children in 2024, Trump won in a landslide by 23 points, winning 60% to Harris’ 37%.
>> INSIDE THE NUMBERS: THE GROUPS THAT PROPELLED TRUMP TO VICTORY <<
When polled following the 2020 race, fathers with minor children at home backed Trump by only one point – 49% to 48% for Biden-Harris – meaning the group shifted a massive 22 points toward the president-elect in just four years.
Mothers with minor children also shifted toward Trump from 2020, although less dramatically than fathers did.
In 2024, the moms favored Harris by a narrow five-point margin, 51% to 46%. They supported Biden-Harris by 13 points, 56% to 43%, four years earlier – meaning they shifted eight points toward Trump between the two election cycles.
School choice advocate Corey DeAngelis celebrated the shift in the parent vote on X (formerly Twitter) Friday.
“Teachers unions overplayed their hand with school closures and indoctrination in schools,” DeAngelis wrote. “The GOP is now the Parents Party.”
