Many in our nation see the topic of life only as a cause that divides. Each year at the National March for Life in Washington, D.C., our humble voices and peaceful presence serve as a reminder of the beauty and dignity of every human life, and as an invitation to all Americans to recognize this truth and to serve the most vulnerable. Now, more than ever, we must come together to witness to the inherent dignity of life. In the two years since the Dobbs decision, the pro-life community has faced many challenges. We have battled relentless and radical pro-abortion proposals at both the state and federal level. Pro-abortion politicians have been using their power to discredit the life-saving work of pregnancy resource centers at a time when these charitable organizations have been suffering widespread threats, physical violence, and vandalism. Moreover, deadly misinformation campaigns surrounding state-level pro-life protections are scaring doctors and women away from addressing pregnancy-related medical emergencies even though none of these laws prohibit life-saving care. Extreme abortion measures that would enshrine a dangerous “right to abortion” into several state constitutions will be on the ballot this November. In Massachusetts, Attorney General Andrea Campbell has initiated a national “working group” of state AGs to target the work of pregnancy resource centers (PRCs) and Governor Maura Healy launched a million-dollar taxpayer-funded smear campaign aimed at discrediting and destroying them. Attacks like these harm vulnerable pregnant women who most need the resources and support that PRCs provide. The result is that PRCs are forced to divert attention and resources from serving women in need, toward defending themselves against political and physical attacks – all because they offer alternatives to abortion.  Pro-abortion misinformation campaigns promoting the Democrats’ vision of abortion without limits have tragically contributed to the preventable deaths of Georgia mothers Amber Thurman and Candi Miller. Pro-abortion activists, who for two years have been spreading the false narrative that state-level pro-life protections prevent doctors from treating mothers with serious pregnancy complications, are rightly described as “part of the problem.” Those who fearmonger about pro-life protections would serve women far better if they admitted that complications from the unsupervised provision of abortion drugs caused the complications leading to Amber’s and Candi’s heartbreaking and untimely deaths. Some pro-life Americans may feel overwhelmed or discouraged by these and many other challenges we face right now as a community. But while the landscape in which we work towards making abortion unthinkable will always have its ups and downs, the value and inherent dignity of vulnerable women and children never changes. Likewise, our resolve to protect and provide for them must never waver. That is why for the 52nd National March for Life we chose a theme that reminds pro-life Americans of our roots – the reasons why we march by the thousands each year in the freezing cold, snow, and rain. We hope that reflecting on this year’s theme: “Every Life: Why We March” will be a source of the renewed energy and focus so needed for this moment.  We march, not for ourselves, but rather for the pregnant women across the country who are in need of love and support. We march for the innocent unborn children who deserve a chance to live, to have a future, if only they are given the chance. We march also for our neighbors, co-workers, and elected officials who do not yet see the truth: that all human life is intrinsically valuable and worthy of protection. For the past 52 years and again this year, pro-life Americans will unite from across all generations and all walks of life, with unique backgrounds and stories, to be a peaceful presence and joyful witness to this truth – and to march in love and protection of every human life. * * * Jeanne Mancini is president of March for Life.

Journalists at CBS News were warned to “be careful” when writing about the Israel-Gaza war in August, including avoiding referring to Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, The Free Press reported on Wednesday. Despite Congress recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital in 1995 when it passed the Jerusalem Embassy Act and former President Donald Trump moving the U.S. embassy to the city in 2018, CBS News Senior Director of Standards Mark Memmott reportedly sent an email to employees, telling them, “Do not refer to [Jerusalem] as being in Israel.” “Yes, the U.S. embassy is there and the Trump administration recognized it as being Israel’s capital. But its status is disputed,” Memmott’s email added. “The status of Jerusalem goes to the heart of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Israel regards Jerusalem as its ‘eternal and undivided’ capital, while the Palestinians claim East Jerusalem—occupied by Israel in the 1967 Middle East war—as the capital of a future state.” The Israeli Knesset and the homes of the Israeli prime minister and president are all located in Jerusalem, The Free Press noted. The report comes as CBS News faces backlash for editing Vice President Kamala Harris’ “60 Minutes” in a way that appeared to make the discussion less damaging for the Democratic nominee. The edit led to former President Donald Trump calling for an “investigation” into the news program saying, “I’ve never seen this before, but the producers of 60 Minutes sliced and diced (‘cut and pasted’) Lyin’ Kamala’s answers to questions, which were virtually incoherent, over and over again.” CBS News also forced one of its anchors, Tony Dokoupil, to meet with the network’s “Race and Culture Unit” to discuss his tone, phrasing, and body language after he interviewed leftist author Ta-Nehisi Coates about his new anti-Israel book, according to the New York Post. Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here! “Why leave out that Israel is surrounded by countries that want to eliminate it? Why leave out that Israel deals with terror groups that want to eliminate it?” Dokoupil asked Coates. The interview reportedly angered CBS News staffers, and Dokupil said he “regretted putting his colleagues in that position especially the ones overseas and in danger.” Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro blasted CBS News on Thursday, writing on X, “CBS News this week: 1. They diced the ’60 Minutes’ interview with Kamala to cover for her incoherence. 2. After Tony Dokoupil asked actual questions of race grifter Ta-Nehisi Coates, the insane Lefties of the newsroom rebelled. 3. Apology by the brass. 4. CBS News tells its staff to pretend that Jerusalem is not in Israel. Yes, they’re fake news. Literally fake news.” CBS News this week:1.

One Mayflower Cigars-loving student at the University of California, Berkeley, got his beautiful Mayflower sampler box signed by the one and only Michael Knowles on Monday.  Knowles, after taking questions from students on campus and shutting down leftists, was thanked by a young man who brought his Mayflower Cigars box to the event for Knowles to sign. The Daily Wire host was only a little disappointed that the box was lacking Mayflower Cigars. “Oh, that was your box!” Knowles said. “I signed it up there, and I was hoping there would be stogies in there that I could pilfer and smoke, but it was totally empty other than a magic marker.”  “Yeah, I figured I’d get in trouble because there are signs everywhere saying like, ‘No tobacco on campus,’” the student said.  “Forget about that. There are barely any Berkeley admins here,” Knowles replied.  STUDENT: I figured I'd get in trouble because there's signs all over saying like, no tobacco on campus…@michaeljknowles: Forget about that!
