Media Lies: Georgia Woman Dies from Botched Abortion
By now, you’ve probably seen the viral news story about a Georgia woman who tragically died from a botched, out-of-state chemical abortion.

Remember when former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) changed US House rules to “honor all gender identities” by eliminating terms like “mother,” “father,” “female,” and “male”? Unfortunately, progressives are hellbent on deconstructing the distinctions between males and females—and they’re waging a war against the longstanding legal meanings of these terms. Why does this matter? Without clear […]
BREAKING: ‘Compromise’ Library Bill Killed in Senate
Just minutes ago, the Idaho Senate killed the ‘compromise’ library bill after Idaho Family Policy Center raised concerns in recent weeks. While well-intentioned, Senate Bill 1289 suffered from numerous fatal flaws, including outdated and unconstitutional definitions that would’ve invited unnecessary court challenges. The legislation would have also enabled schools and libraries to skirt legal responsibility […]
ALERT: New Library Bill Misses the Mark
As you know, Idaho Family Policy Center has been working on the library smut issue for some time now. Last year, we partnered with Sen. Cindy Carlson (R-Riggins) and Rep.
