How they’ve been losing ever since

“Abortion-rights advocates won an epic victory in Roe v Wade. They’ve been losing ever since.”

The cover of the recent Time Magazine summarized what we’ve seen right here in Arizona over the last four decades.

But the Time’s article went on to lament how abortion advocates have squandered their victory over this period, and the magazine glossed over the root of how pro-lifers have built an American majority that favors life.

The cultural shift in America towards embracing the pro-life position has happened person by person and family by family. (more…)

These Tragedies Must End

An entire generation of Americans has never known an America without legalized abortion for any reason, at any stage of pregnancy or any age of the mother.

Since the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, more than 50 million lives have been aborted during this time – just under 1/6 of the current U.S. population. Countless men and women also have suffered the effects of abortions.

The numbers are staggering. It’s the greatest tragedy of our time.

This is the fight worth fighting. This is the cause for which we will never stop until we see preborn children’s lives and their mothers’ lives protected. It has never been nor will it ever be an option to stand aside and let this great tragedy continue.

This is a fight we can win. As the recent cover of Time shows, pro-lifers have been winning in our effort to save preborn children and women from the abortion industry. The pro-life movement is stronger than ever.

Join us to commemorate the loss of lives, support abortion alternatives, and stand with pro-life leaders at our rally on Tuesday. Let us come together in recognition of the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade.

Let’s send a powerful message that the prolife movement is stronger than ever, and we are committed to protecting life from its very beginning to its natural end.

The national prolife organization Americans United for Life (AUL) moved Arizona up into the top five, nine spots higher than its ranking from 2011. AUL also dubbed Arizona its “2013 Prolife All-Star.”

In their report, AUL cites legislation drafted and supported by Center for Arizona Policy (CAP) as the rationale for the improved ranking. (more…)

As Arizona continues to be a national leader in providing parents with meaningful educational choices, we all have a new opportunity to contribute to the scholarship tax credit program, which provides money for students to attend private schools chosen by their parents.  Every year, the program gives scholarships to around 25,000 kids, but many families are still waiting and hoping that this will be the year that they can choose the best school for them.  (more…)
