Now is the time to become an abortion ABOLITIONIST

This is big.

Like, tectonic shift big.

The leak of the draft opinion by Justice Alito on Roe v. Wade is big enough to be the Watergate scandal of our era, let alone the ramifications of what it could mean for the unborn.

The modern pro-life movement has never had the momentum it does today and we cannot afford to let this divine intervention pass us by.

The time for slogans and platitudes has passed and good men and women of faith need to take courage and not shrink in the face of the monumental work ahead. The road ahead is long and the work is hard but if we rise to this challenge and are victorious, the blessings bestowed by our Creator will be more powerful than anything we can imagine.

The odds were not in our favor that this day would ever come, especially in the face of the dominatingSpirit of the Age — but the opportunity is here and we must seize the reigns and never look back.

“Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”

We are all granted the gift of life, blessed with liberty, and given the opportunity to pursue happiness — all bestowed by a loving God who created us. As believers, we are charged with multiplying and replenishing the Earth, protecting the life we help cultivate and produce, and to fight to preserve the God-given rights of all.

The Declaration of Independence clearly spells out these rights and the truths are plain and simple. It seems straightforward in its messaging and language but its still waters run deep and are anything but simple. Like the United States Constitution, it was penned by mere mortals, yet they were mortals who were divinely inspired by God. This divine inspiration is the key that unlocked the miracle of America and is vital to its continued survival.

So how are we doing in all facets of our charge and stewardship?

Think of all the restrictions imposed on us over the past couple of years. We couldn’t do much of anything for a while without wearing a mask or proof of vaccination. Has providing for your family faced any challenges or roadblocks as of late with rising inflation and shortages? Or — heaven forbid — have you lost your job or had your hours reduced?

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness have all been on lockdown thanks to politicians who just couldn’t let a good crisis go to waste. But did we do our part to fight them or did we sit back silently while muttering under our breath and doing little else?

If you are like me, you probably could have done better. But, our failures in protecting these rights pale in comparison to the epic failure in our efforts to protect and preserve the life of the unborn for nearly five decades.

Overturning Roe v. Wade is a win beyond description but we're not done...

Forget abolishing the Fed or I.C.E. or defunding the police, it’s time God-fearing Americans took a stand and demanded the defunding of Planned Parenthood and ABOLISH ABORTION — once and for all!

Overturning Roe v. Wade would be a win beyond description but even if it does indeed happen — we still have a lot more to accomplish. This would completely remove the federal government from the process (which feels so freaking good to say!) but it does NOT eliminate the majority of abortions. It merely passes jurisdiction on to the states where they can decide. Federalism and decentralization are the answer for so much of what ails us and they are amazing — if not underutilized — tools that we must incorporate at any opportunity.

Letting the states govern themselves with the ability to decide their own abortion legislation is an excellent if not surprising first step. Those are the judicial and legislative aspects of a very moral problem. Just because it's the state government and not the feds doesn't mean that the moral problem has been solved. With the bureaucratic red tape sorted, let's dig into the morality of the issue.

While there are some instances where the death of the fetus is inevitable, abortion is NOT. To be clear, abortion is a wanton act of terminating a life, regardless of the reason. In the extremely rare event of the pregnancy putting the life of the mother at risk, of course, you prioritize her life above all else. The termination of a pregnancy may be necessary for some instances but the intentional act of killing a viable fetus, for the most part, is not.

We MUST NOT let the Left continue to define the argument and control the language any longer. We have been playing their game on their terms, by their rules, for far too long. Finding a way to put the genie back in the bottle will be hard enough but trying to do it with their ever-changing word games is darn-near impossible. In order to flip the script in this debate, we must become the people God put us on this planet to be. But the key is making the changes a part of us, not just as a manipulative tool to get what we want.

This may sound counterintuitive but bear with me for a moment. It's time to throw winning and losing out the window along with all the tactics that have failed completely. We cannot change people’s hearts and minds if all we are trying to do is change the scoreboard. This issue is about people, love, and compassion — and loving someone doesn't include keeping score.

We will all be held to account for what we've made of the life granted to us by our Creator, but we are never meant to be the judge of another. I can’t imagine what it would feel like to be a pregnant 14-year-old girl who just found out she was “punished with a baby". You can’t fault her for being completely terrified and at least considering ALL of her options — abortion included.

We have been playing... on their terms, by their rules, for far too long.

We must FORGIVE those who have chosen to abort. It's not only the compassionate thing to do but also what is required of us as Christians. Forgiveness always edifies and uplifts all parties while allowing reconciliation to flourish.

Find ways to show LOVE to those who have already made this choice as well as those who are now facing this gut-wrenching decision. However, this must be authentic, with genuine love and concern, or it will be exposed for all to see.

STRENGTHEN those who are in this situation and EDUCATE them on all the options available. This is a huge part of the solution. So many times the choice seems so black and white, either it will "ruin your life" or "abort". But there are so many other options available and knowing these are key.

We must TAKE A STAND and refuse to let the forces of darkness win. Refuse to give in and help people shake the apathy from their slumbering eyes. If you feel this call, I urge you to follow through and become the Fredrick Douglas or Harriet Tubman figure within your sphere of influence and help abolish this plague once and for all.

Always remember, hate and love are not opposites. The two emotions are quite intense but they operate on the same spectrum, while the enemy of both is apathy. Sparking the passion for the cause of life is contagious and has the potential to spread like a wildfire. It can breathe life into a stagnant soul. If we stoke the flames and feed the fires of righteousness, there’s no telling what good can be accomplished and who will join us.

Politically the focus needs to be on waking the sleeping masses. Believe it or not, the Left and the abortion racket do not have public opinion in their favor. By and large, people tolerate abortion up to a point, but very few fully embrace the choice. In fact, a lot of those who support abortion do so with conditions attached. Also, a large number of women who have had abortions deeply regret it at some point.

The Left has owned this debate for the past 30 years and now is the time we take it back. Up until now, the possibility of reversing this abhorrent ruling has been a pipedream and many conservatives in Congress have relegated their passion for the subject to the back burner and have backed down at every turn.

Do not shrink in the face of history.

But change is in the air.

Abolishing abortion altogether is a huge undertaking, make no mistake about it — but making these changes helps us become a people worthy of God’s divine providence and intervention. With the current shift in the political winds providing some much-needed momentum, we are about to see miracles unfold the likes of which the world has never seen!

Today, I call on all those who hold life sacred — on either side of the aisle — to join with me in this fight. Do not shrink in the face of history. Step up to the plate and fulfill your divinely appointed charge.

We may have wilted in the intense heat of this fight up until now, but let today be the day that we forge a battalion of abortion abolitionists and affirm and protect the lives of our most vulnerable!

Take courage and remember that God put you on this Earth at this time for a purpose and you have everything within you to accomplish what He expects from you.

Is today the day abortion finally goes by the wayside? There's only one way to know for sure: let's mess around and find out.

WWIII: The new face of war

Has World War III begun?

Over the weekend, Iran launched an unprecedented attack against Israel involving over 300 missiles and drones. This marked the first direct attack on Israel originating from Iranian territory. Fortunately, according to an Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, 99 percent of missiles and drones were successfully neutralized by Israeli defense systems. Iran claimed that the operation against Israel had concluded and that no further offensive was planned, although the possibility of another attack is still present.

This has left many people, including Glenn, wondering the same thing: did we just witness the start of World War III?

Glenn recently had a World War II Air Force Veteran as a guest on his TV special, who told stories of the horrors he and his brothers-in-arms faced in the skies over war-torn Europe. This was a timely reminder of the terrors of war and a warning that our future, if it leads to another world war, is a dark one.

But, if Glenn's coverage of the Iranian attack revealed one thing, it's that World War III will look nothing like the world wars of the twentieth century. Long gone are the days of John "Lucky" Luckadoo and his "Bloody Hundredth" bravely flying their B-17s into battle. Over the weekend, we saw hundreds of autonomous drones and missiles clashing with extreme speed and precision over several different fronts (including space) simultaneously. This ain't your grandfather's war.

From EMP strikes to cyber attacks, here are FIVE ways the face of war has changed:

EMP attacks

The entire modern world, on every level, is completely dependent on electricity. From your home refrigerator to international trade, the world would come to a grinding halt without power. And as Glenn has pointed out, it wouldn't even be that hard to pull off. All it would take is 3 strategically placed, high-altitude nuclear detonations and the entire continental U.S. would be without power for months if not years. This would cause mass panic across the country, which would be devastating enough on its own, but the chaos could be a perfect opportunity for a U.S. land invasion.

Nuclear strikes

Nuclear war is nothing new. Many of us grew up during the Cold War, built fallout shelters, and learned to duck and cover. But times have changed. The Berlin Wall fell and so did the preparedness of the average American to weather a nuclear attack. As technology has advanced, more of our adversaries than ever have U.S. cities within their crosshairs, and as Glenn has pointed out, these adversaries are not exactly shy about that fact. Unfortunately, the possibility of an atomic apocalypse is as real as ever.

Immigration warfare

The strategy of strangling an opposing nation's economy to gain the upper hand is a wartime tactic as old as time. That's why the Border Crisis is so alarming. What better way to damage an opponent's economy than by overburdening it with millions of undocumented immigrants? As Glenn has covered, these immigrants are not making the trek unaided. There is a wide selection of organizations that facilitate this growing disaster. These organizations are receiving backing from around the globe, such as the WEF, the UN, and U.S. Democrats! Americans are already feeling the effects of the border crisis. Imagine how this tactic could be exploited in war.

Cyber shutdowns

Cyber attacks will be a major tactic in future wars. We've already experienced relatively minor cyber strikes from Russia, China, and North Korea, and it is a very real possibility that one of our adversaries inflicts a larger attack with devastating consequences on the United States. In fact, the WEF has already predicted a "catastrophic" cyber attack is imminent, and Glenn suggests that it is time to start preparing ourselves. A cyber attack could be every bit as devastating as an EMP, and in a world run by computers, nothing is safe.

Biological assault

Don't trust the "experts." That was the takeaway many of us had from the pandemic, but something less talked about is the revelation that China has manufactured viruses that are capable of spreading across the globe. We now know that the lab leak hypothesis is true and that the Wuhan lab manufactured the virus that infected the entire world. That was only ONE virus from ONE lab. Imagine what else the enemies of America might be cooking up.

The government is WAGING WAR against these 3 basic needs

NICHOLAS KAMM / Contributor | Getty Images

The government has launched a full-on assault against our basic needs, and people are starting to take notice.

As long-time followers of Glenn are probably aware, our right to food, water, and power is under siege. The government no longer cares about our general welfare. Instead, our money lines the pockets of our politicians, funds overseas wars, or goes towards some woke-ESG-climate-Great Reset bullcrap. And when they do care, it's not in a way that benefits the American people.

From cracking down on meat production to blocking affordable power, this is how the government is attacking your basic needs:

Food

Glenn had Rep. Thomas Massie on his show where he sounded the alarm about the attack on our food. The government has been waging war against our food since the thirties when Congress passed the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938. They started by setting strict limits on how many crops a farmer could grow in a season and punishing anyone who grew more—even if it was intended for personal use, not for sale on the market. This sort of autocratic behavior has continued into the modern day and has only gotten more draconian. Today, not only are you forced to buy meat that a USDA-approved facility has processed, but the elites want meat in general off the menu. Cow farts are too dangerous to the environment, so the WEF wants you to eat climate-friendly alternatives—like bugs.

Water

ALESSANDRO RAMPAZZO / Contributor | Getty Images

As Glenn discussed during a recent Glenn TV special, the government has been encroaching on our water for years. It all started when Congress passed the Clean Water Act in 1972, which gave the government the ability to regulate large bodies of water. As the name suggests, the act was primarily intended to keep large waterways clear of pollution, but over time it has allowed the feds to assume more and more control over the country's water supply. Most recently, the Biden administration attempted to expand the reach of the Clean Water Act to include even more water and was only stopped by the Supreme Court.

Electricity

Dependable, affordable electricity has been a staple of American life for decades, but that might all be coming to an end. Glenn has discussed recent actions taken by Biden, like orders to halt new oil and gas production and efforts to switch to less efficient sources of power, like wind or solar, the price of electricity is only going to go up. This, alongside his efforts to limit air conditioning and ban gas stoves, it almost seems Biden is attempting to send us back to the Stone Age.

4 signs that PROVE Americans are hitting rock bottom

As we approach the presidential election in November, many Americans are facing dire economic straits.

Glenn has shown time and time again that Bidenomics is a sham, and more Americans than ever are suffering as a result. Still, Biden and his cronies continue to insist that the economy is booming despite the mounting evidence to the contrary. But who is Biden fooling? Since the beginning of the year, gas has gone up an average of 40 cents a gallon nationwide, with some states seeing as much as a 60-cent per gallon increase. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Foreclosures and bankruptcies are on the rise, evictions are surging, and America is experiencing a record amount of homelessness. We can't survive another Biden term.

Americans across the country are hitting rock bottom, and here are four stats that PROVE it:

Evictions

Across the country, people are being evicted from their homes and apartments. Between 2021 and 2023, evictions increased by 78.6 percent. With inflation driving up prices and employers struggling to raise wages to compensate, rent is taking up an increasingly larger percentage of people's paychecks. Many Americans are having to choose between buying groceries and paying rent.

Foreclosures

Renters aren't the only ones struggling to make their monthly payments, foreclosures are on the rise. This February saw a 5 percent increase in foreclosures from last year and a 10 percent increase from January. More and more Americans are losing their homes and businesses.

Bankruptcies

Chris Hondros / Staff | Getty Images

High interest rates and inflation have driven bankruptcies through the roof. Total filings have risen 13 percent and business bankruptcies rose 30 percent in 2023. It's getting harder and harder for businesses to stay afloat, and with California's new law requiring most restaurants to pay all employees a minimum of $20 an hour, you can expect that number to keep climbing.

Homelessness

FREDERIC J. BROWN / Contributor | Getty Images

The result of all of these issues is that it is getting harder and harder for Americans to afford the basic necessities. January of 2023 saw a record-breaking 650,000+ homeless Americans, a 12 percent jump from the previous year. More Americans have hit rock bottom than ever before.

Stop blaming Gen Z for the problems WE created

Editor's note: This article was originally published on TheBlaze.com.

I want to talk to Generation Z. I’ve seen some clips of you complaining about your 9-to-5 jobs on social media and how life is really hard right now. To be honest, my first reaction was, “Suck it up, buttercup. This is what life is really like.” In a sense, that’s true. But in another sense, I think you’re getting a bad rap. You are facing unique problems that my generation didn’t face — problems that my generation had a hand in creating.

But I also think you don’t understand the cause of these problems.

I would hate to be in your position. When I was your age, we didn’t have to deal with any of the challenges you’re facing. In one sense, your life has been tough. At the same time, compared to previous generations, your life has been very easy. Everybody was rushing to save you, to protect you. You were coddled, which makes your life harder now.

You’ve grown up with social media and the definition of narcissism: somebody gazing into the pond looking at themselves all the time. I don't mean this as an offense, and I am not just including you in this. We’ve become a culture of narcissists. It’s all about “me, me, me, me.”

If you end up thinking more collectivism is the solution, then you haven't done enough homework.

You’ve been in territory that my generation never had to enter. You’ve already navigated a landscape that we didn't have to, where nothing is true, and you can’t trust anybody. I wouldn’t trust anybody either if I were in your position. But I do know a few things to be true and a couple of things I can trust.

First, life is worth it. Life is tough, but it is worth it in the end.

Second, life is not about stuff. As a guy who is kind of a pack rat, I can tell you that none of that stuff will create happiness in your life. In fact, I think your generation has a better handle on happiness in some ways than anybody in mine. You’re starting to realize that pharmaceuticals may not be as good as natural solutions in a lot of situations, that the huge house may not be as satisfying as just having a smaller house, that living your life instead of having to work all the time may be a better way to live.

I want to talk to those of you who feel like it’s not worth even trying to go to work because you’ll never get anywhere. You work 40 hours a week or more, and you still can't afford a place to live. You’re still living with your parents. You can’t afford food. I think you're right to feel frustrated because the problems you're facing weren't always the case.

I blame a lot of the current problems we’re facing today on the hippies. That may be wrong, but I hate hippies. Hippies have been screwing things up since the 1960s. While on their socialist march, they have become everything that they said they were against: lying, greedy politicians. They just won’t let go of their power even though their time has passed.

These are the people who have come up with policies that make you feel like this is the way the world is. I hope I can convince you that it doesn’t have to be this way. This isn’t the way our country has always been. We don’t have to keep these people in power. Actions have consequences. Votes have consequences. These people allow crime, looters, squatters, riots, and somebody needs to pay for that.

You say you can’t afford health care. I understand. Since Obamacare passed, the cost of individual health insurance has doubled. You need to remember that politicians promised that if we passed this massive health care overhaul, it would mean a savings of $2,500 per family. You're in school. You must know that $2,500 savings is not the same as an 80% increase. Moreover, the cost of hospital stays is up 210%. I understand when you say you can't afford health care at these costs. Who could afford health care? Who could afford insurance?

The generation coming of age is right to feel frustrated.This mess — with high costs and a massive debt burden — was not of their making.

You are also starting your life with thousands of dollars in debt. Your parents didn't have that burden. People used to be able to work their way through college and graduate debt-free. Others were able to get jobs that quickly paid off their debt. You can't do that now. Once the government said that they were going to guarantee all student loans, university costs skyrocketed, and it hasn't stopped. You can thank the progressive President Lyndon B. Johnson for that.

The people who created this mess cannot fix it. But it can be fixed.

Once the government said that they were going to guarantee all student loans, university costs skyrocketed, and it hasn't stopped. You can thank the progressive President Lyndon B. Johnson for that.

Once the government said that they were going to guarantee everybody’s college tuition, universities found out that they could just charge more because the government would give you virtually any amount in your loan. And they have been charging more and more ever since. In 1965, the average college tuition was $450 a year. Adjusted to inflation, that's $4,000 a year. You're currently paying an average of $26,000 a year as opposed to the inflation-adjusted $4,000.

What happened? The answer is always the same: government regulations. Gas is up. Why? Government regulations. Can't afford a house? Well, that's due to several things. Many of them revolve around the fed and our national debt. But the simple answer is the same: government regulations.

Moreover, the U.S. government has run a staggering national debt. We have been concerned about it forever, but the people in power haven't been listening to your mom and dad and people like me. A lot of other people just thought, "Oh, well. We could get away with it. We're the United States of America, after all. Somehow or another, it will all work out."

People like me have been saying, "No. We can't pass this on to our children." You're now seeing what we have passed on. When you say that the adults are responsible for creating this world of problems, in some ways, you’re right. We were lied to, and as many people do, they want to believe the lie because it makes them feel better.

There are big lies being pushed in your generation as well. You're being told that a man is a woman and a woman is a man. At the same time, you’re being told that gender doesn't even exist at all. It makes us feel better to go along with the lie because we don't want to hurt anyone's feelings.

My generation believed the same kind of lie about our national debt. We were told that we could spend all this money on subsidized programs because it would provide you, our children, with a better life. Some people warned, "Wait, how will they pay this off? This will cost them." We didn't want to believe them. The lie sounded better, and it was easier to believe that than the truth. We never saw the consequences, and even if we did, they were always way out in the future. Nobody wanted to listen to the doomsday people saying, "No. It's going to come faster than you think."

And that time is right now. Our government now is printing $1 trillion every 100 days. That's never been done before. We have more debt than any country has ever had in the history of the world. But we’re not alone. Every country is doing this. They’re going into debt like we’ve never seen before, and we’re all about to pay for that. It’s going to make your life even harder.

There are Democrats and Republicans who still believe in spending all kinds of money and getting us involved in every global conflict. Then there are constitutional conservatives who believe that we should conserve the things that have worked and throw out the things that don’t and follow our Constitution and Bill of Rights. You haven't really learned about those most likely. But you should. All of our problems are caused by the government and the people who feel they can bypass the Constitution. That's what this election is really all about.

You might say, “I don’t really care. I don’t like either of the political parties.” I know a lot of people who don’t like either of them, but one is going to try to cut the size of this government and one is going to spend us into collapse.

The people who created this mess cannot fix it. But it can be fixed. You need to learn enough about the truth, about why this has happened to us, and about how our Constitution lasted longer than any other Constitution in the world. The average is 17 years. This thing has lasted hundreds of years. Why? How? And why is it falling apart today? That's what you should dedicate some of your time to figuring out today.

You can complain about the way things are. I complain. Everybody complains. But don't wallow there. Learn what caused this. And if you end up thinking more collectivism is the solution, then you haven't done enough homework. They always end the same way, and that's exactly where we're headed right now. We can either repeat the dreadful past of nations that have tried it before us, or we can choose freedom, liberty, and prosperity. The ball is in our court.
