In This Issue: In March, Iowa tabled legislation that would have made it a felony to “cause the death” of an “unborn person.” Iowa is trying to avoid introducing personhood legislation, which recognizes the unborn child as having legal rights and protections. Alabama’s recent Supreme Court decision regarding IVF put personhood legislation in the spotlight for all the states.

In This Issue: Planned Parenthood’s 2022-2023 annual report revealed that the organization provided a total of 392,715 abortions.

In This Issue: New data regarding American fertility may hold a silver lining to the “birth dearth” that the nation is experiencing. As we have highlighted previously, the U.S. fertility rate is below replacement and, in general, continues to trend downward. However, data from 2022 suggests that while Americans are having fewer babies, the babies that are being born are more likely to be born to married parents.

In This Issue: On March 26th, the Supreme Court began hearing oral arguments for the case that will decide the future of the abortion pill. Since the pandemic, the FDA has loosened restrictions on the abortion drugs mifepristone and misoprostol. According to one expert, “The telehealth policy, which the FDA temporarily implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic before making it permanent, is really ‘what opened the gate’ to the drug’s broader use.” This has directly contributed to the uptick in abortions. Last year, the total number of abortions in the U.S. surpassed 1 million for the first time in over a decade.

In This Issue: In this argument for her audience to have more children, Leah Libresco Sargeant breaks down why increasing your family size is a good thing. The issue goes beyond economics. In Sargeant’s words, saying no to children is a no to hope, need, particularity, and something better than our plans. Her compelling speech describes how children are not just society’s future, but each individual’s connection to the future. Parents are truly lucky to be needed by their children; to love and be loved in return by their children. Children pull parents out of selfishness and give them the opportunity for personal growth. Further, children require parents to grow in magnanimity–greatness of soul. Children may challenge you and change you, but in that, they are blessings, not burdens.
