Why Do Republican Candidates Refuse to Outlaw Abortion?
Some argue that the POTUS's view on abortion doesn't matter because the President has little influence over it. This is not true. The president can use the bully pulpit to influence public opinion, curb abortion through executive orders, sign legislation, and nominate pro-life justices to the federal courts.
During the recent GOP presidential debate, candidates made excuses for their unwillingness to act on abortion by stating that the issue is now in the hands of the states to decide. This is a cop-out!
The fact is the US Constitution already protects preborn children.
The 14th Amendment reads:
No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
States have recognized pre-born children as "persons" at all stages of pregnancy. Protection for preborn children was rooted in British Common Law. The authors of the amendment included the preborn as persons.
Despite the battle being mostly in the states currently, that doesn't absolve candidates for president from stating clearly that the federal government has a role to play in outlawing abortion.

It wasn't so safe I guess...
Contraceptives are not 100% effective. There is always a chance of pregnancy in intercourse, and the only guarantee to avoid pregnancy is to abstain completely.

Hostile Poll Worker

Lies of Ohio Abortion Amendment Debunked Line by Line
Abortion supporters are attempting to amend Ohio's constitution to remove all protections for preborn children. If passed in November, abortion would be permitted throughout all nine months of pregnancy.
On today's episode, Mark goes line by line through the language with Liz Kent to expose the lies of the proposed abortion amendment. Whether you live in Ohio or not this program is a must for anyone who cares about the fate of preborn children in America. Because if we lose in Ohio, preborn children will lose across America.

We're Not Barnyard Animals!
Believe it or not, humans have the ability to curb their desires. In fact, that is part of what separates us from animals. If you don't want to chance having a child, don't have sex. If you want to ensure your future children are supported, get married first. This is the way God intended it.

"All Trimester" Abortion Business Denied
The DuPont all-trimester abortion clinic is not going into the City of Beverly Hills! According to an email from the Deputy City Manager, the building management company has rescinded its lease to DuPont after mounting pressure from the pro-life community.
In June, I told you about the coalition Created Equal joined to prevent Dupont from opening in S. California. Since then, Created Equal went into the lion's den of Hollywood, proclaimed the truth about abortion, and confronted those who support abortion with pictures and videos of abortion victims.
While DuPont will not be coming to Beverly Hills, it is likely the abortionists will move their sights somewhere else in California. If they do, Created Equal and our partners at Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust will be ready to oppose them.

Why We Lost Issue 1 in Ohio
On Tuesday Ohio voters defeated Issue 1 which would have raised the threshold to amend the Ohio constitution to 60%. Now that the special election is over Created Equal is preparing to defeat the pro-abortion constitutional amendment on November 7, 2023.
In this special episode, as a lifelong resident of Ohio and a 25-year veteran activist of the abortion battle, Mark provides an analysis of the defeat and some lessons learned for the upcoming abortion amendment battle.
Defeating the abortion amendment in November will establish an anti-abortion beachhead in Ohio from which we can defeat similar pro-abortion measures in other states in 2024. Because as Ohio goes so goes the nation. The stakes couldn’t be any higher.
Ohio is a bellwether state for abortion. The future of the abortion debate hinges on winning Ohio. We need your prayers and support. And if you can come to Ohio to help, please go to CreatedEqual.org/Ohio

Guy Steals Sign at Ohio Polling Center
Here is an example of how far VOTE NO on Issue 1 voters will go to cancel free speech. In Ohio, campaigners and signs must stay at least 100 feet from a polling center. Our VOTE YES on Issue 1 signs were legally in the pubic easement and well beyond the 100 foot limit of the voting center.

Don't Exempt Women From Penalties, But...
Should women be held responsible for breaking abortion laws? Both abortionists and the woman involved in the abortion should be held accountable for their actions, but it's not always so cut and dry in the legal system.

Pro-Life Leader Optimistic in the Fight Ahead – Jonathan Van Maren
In this episode, Mark is joined by Jonathan Van Maren of the Canadian Centre for Bio-Ethical Reform to discuss the future of the pro-life movement, and there are positive indicators.
While the world may appear increasingly complex, it's worth noting that younger generations of Christians are showing a marked increase in their pro-life convictions. This is evidenced by the higher percentage of anti-abortion advocates among younger evangelicals, in contrast to their older counterparts. Reference: https://www.brookings.edu/articles/how-younger-voters-will-impact-elections-what-is-happening-to-the-white-evangelical-vote/
Additionally, Mark shares two notable pieces of news:
First, in Indiana, a near-total abortion ban has been enacted. There are exceptions for rape, incest, and lethal fetal anomalies, which constitute only one percent of abortions, but 99% of babies will be saved. This law is a positive step in the ongoing efforts to protect unborn life.
Life news: https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/indianas-near-total-abortion-ban-is-now-in-effect/?utm_source=featured-news&utm_campaign=usa
Second, in Beverly Hills, CA, the D.C.-based DuPont Clinic, known for promoting all-trimester abortions, has been denied permission to build. While this might not permanently prevent the clinic from relocating within California, the decision is viewed as a momentary advancement in efforts to protect the unborn.

Secretary of State Validates Signatures for Extreme Pro-Abortion Nov. Ballot Measure
The Ohio Secretary of State has officially validated all of the signatures that were required to get an extreme pro-abortion initiative on the ballot in November of 2023.
This dangerous, California-style proposal is misleadingly titled, “The Right to Reproductive Freedom with Protections for Health and Safety.” In reality, it would erase the current health and safety standards for mothers and their children, if passed. Here is what this extreme initiative would do:
· Permanently enshrine painful, late-term abortions all the way up until birth in The Ohio Constitution.
· Allow minors to obtain abortions without their parent’s consent or knowledge.
· Open the door to sex-transitioning surgery for minors without their parent’s consent or knowledge.
And it is all funded by out-of-state special interest groups who want to turn Ohio into California.

Excerpt from Dayton Daily News:
Mark Harrington, President of Created Equal, said, “Extreme, out-of-state abortion forces are trying to purchase a part of the Ohio Constitution. Unable to win in the legislature, extremists are attempting to enshrine painful, late-term abortions in the Ohio Constitution. Ohioans will reject this takeover and defeat the abortion ballot measure.”

What is Christian Nationalism? – Stephen Wolfe
In this episode, Mark interviews author Stephen Wolfe, author of The Case for Christian Nationalism.
I just finished his book. It's deep. It's challenging. And I recommend it to anyone interested in Christian political theory. Unfortunately, some Christians who say they don't support what is outlined in the book have never read it. Instead, they often fall for stereotypes about nationalism that the secular media promotes and buy in to the straw man arguments about Christian nationalism from its many detractors.
That said, I believe every Christian who is concerned about the direction of nation/culture should read it.
Here a few of the questions I ask Stephen:
What is Christian Nationalism?
Is the church called to change the culture?
Is the pursuit of cultural Christianity I replacement for preaching the gospel?
What are the dangers of this view?
Be a good Berean - "Examine the scriptures to see what is true." Acts 17:11
Also, read/listen to those who oppose the position written about in this book and by other authors. Only then can you reach a well-informed position.

Life After Dobbs: A 3-Pronged Strategy | Day Of Action 2023
Dobbs didn't go far enough. The 14th amendment reads:
No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Like the days of slavery we are now faced with slave states and free states – abortion havens and abortion free states.
States had recognized pre-born children as "persons" at all stages of pregnancy.
When the 14th Amendment was adopted, the states widely recognized pre-born children as "persons" at all stages of pregnancy.
• Nearly every state had codified criminal prohibitions by statute. At least 28 jurisdictions labeled abortion as "an offense against the person."
• In 23 states and 6 territories, laws referred to the preborn individual as a "child."
• The same Ohio legislature that ratified the 14th Amendment, called abortion at any stage "nothing less than child murder."
California, Vermont, and Michigan approved ballot measures enshrining abortion into their state constitutions, while those in the red states of Montana, Kansas, and Kentucky rejected measures that would have restricted abortion.
A 3-Pronged Strategy
Political - Defeat the constitutional amendments. If Ohio goes so goes the nation like Dominoes.
Prophetic – we are truth-tellers, visionaries, warning the nation by taking it take to the streets, etc.
Pragmatic – we need to prepare for the long run - win or lose.
