In Georgia Right to Life’s February 3rd biographical sketch of Dietrich Bonhoeffer in honor of his birthday February 4, 1906, the article encouraged our supporters to ask the question: “What can we learn about his life that we can apply to our lives today?” Given the state of our nation, it was GRTL’s objective to spur our supporters to reflect on “the cost of discipleship” and prepare to stand. The article noted, “The German church, both Catholic and Protestant, capitulated to the...
Chemical Abortion: The Pills, the Politics, and the Problems

The Sanctity of Life and the Privilege of Being Born
The Concept of the Sanctity of Life There is much talk in Pro-Life circles about the sanctity of life. That is, life is considered a sacred thing of inestimable worth. When we say that something is sacred, we are recognizing that it possesses a value that is not derived from itself. This is seen in our own nation’s founding documents with the concept of rights, of which life is said to be paramount. “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed...
Menacing Connection: Domestic Violence and Abortion
Warning: Though horrifying, this difficult subject matter will educate and inform many people who do not yet know about this often-hidden topic. It’s an opportunity to shine light on darkness—in the event this issue crosses your path, and it serves as a grim reminder that we live in a culture of death.

The Truth About Chemical Abortion
In 2021, the Biden administration directed the FDA to reverse standing rules for the use of the deadly drug Mifepristone and to allow its use without the woman seeing a medical professional. Before the rule change, women seeking to end the life of their child with drugs were required to have at least two in-person visits with a medical professional. However, the Biden administration ruled that women could receive Mifepristone in the mail with a prescription provided by telemedicine. This is no...
Grandparents Day: Celebrating God’s Goodness
While National Grandparents Day, the Sunday following Labor Day, was founded by Jacob Reingold and Marian McQuade in 1973, the holiday has escaped the grasp of most people—so let’s talk about it! The purpose of the day is for older adults to share wisdom, varying perspectives, and values with young people—starting with their grandchildren—on this day and beyond. In our current culture, just as the Personhood of the preborn is being denied, the God-given life of our elderly population is being...
Overpopulation: Where Did the Idea Come From?
For decades Americans have been warned of an impending population explosion that would perhaps threaten our very existence. The Population Bomb, published in 1968, by Professor Paul R. Ehrlich, warned of approaching mass starvation due to overpopulation. What is overpopulation? Where did this theory come from? Is it factual? Why does it matter when it comes to the sanctity of life and Personhood? Our children have long been taught that not only that a growing population is bad for the...

No, Miscarriage and Abortion Are Not the Same
Women’s lives are at stake when the abortion industry tells women they can’t get medical care for pregnancy complications.
United States Laws Redefine Death
According to Dr. Heidi Klessig, retired anesthesiologist and co-author of Harvesting Organs and Cherishing Life, “The Uniform Law Commission is considering changing the standards for death determination for the entire United States.” Their proposal will make it easier for doctors to declare someone brain dead and make it more difficult for family members to contest a brain death diagnosis. Until 1968, legal death was determined based on elapsed time without breathing or a heartbeat. There is...
