National Right to Life mourns the sudden passing of Senator Lindsey Graham, a steadfast friend of unborn children and their mothers. His leadership on the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act and the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act gave a voice to children who could not speak for themselves. We honor his years of service and his commitment to protecting innocent human life. We extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends, staff, and the people of South Carolina. May he rest in peace.

@amuse @elonmusk You missed abortions

We gave Congress an “F” for failing to defund Planned Parenthood, and @KristanHawkins said it best in this piece:

“Congress must act, and the Trump Administration should permanently debar Planned Parenthood from all federal funding,” Hawkins wrote on X Sunday. "The pro-life movement isn't grading on a curve."

BREAKING: Trump just cut $67 MILLION in grants to Planned Parenthood for pushing sexually explicit content on kids. This is what defunding looks like. Now finish the job, Congress. #DefundPlannedParenthood #ProtectChildren

.@DavidDaleiden exposed Planned Parenthood’s sale of baby body parts and Kamala Harris spent 11 years trying to silence him for it.

Now, for America 250th birthday on July 4th, the historic defunding of Big Abortion is set to expire. Taxpayers should NEVER be forced to fund Planned Parenthood’s carnival of horrors and record 434,450 abortions.

Planned Parenthood and Big Abortion harm women, end unborn lives, and use our money to push a radical agenda.

Congress must renew the defunding of Big Abortion, it’s the right thing to do.

We are better than this. Epic failure by a majority party. The way to stifle election turnout.

Deaths in America in 2025:

From Guns: 38,846
From Abortions: 1,126,000

If gun violence is a public health crisis, abortion is an epidemic.

No diagnosis. No circumstance. No challenge. No unexpected pregnancy can change the inherent dignity and worth of a human life.

Every child deserves to be welcomed, loved, and protected.

Here is Melissa Ohden, who survived an abortion.

She's with her daughter Olivia.

If Melissa had been aborted, her daughter wouldn't be here either.

📢 We think they heard us.

⏰ Just 13 DAYS until Planned Parenthood regains access to taxpayer funding.

Today, our pro-life student activists gathered outside the RNC with a simple message: don't betray your pro-life base.

Planned Parenthood ends the lives of hundreds of thousands of preborn children every year while receiving taxpayer dollars.

Tell @POTUS and the @Republicans: Defund and debar Planned Parenthood NOW.

The supporters of Platner in Maine, the (many) issues challenged candidate for US Senate, will make abortion a key point and blame Sen. Collins for supporting Justice Kavanaugh. Lets hold a debate of pictures: show the abortion process and show te Safe Haven Baby Box process. Hmm

Cristiano Ronaldo's mother tried to abort him.

But he SURVIVED!

One of the greatest spectacles of our times is upon us. The thrill we have all had to wait for four years to relive: The World Cup is on.

You can't talk about football (soccer) without mentioning Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal.

But to know Ronald you need to know his mother, Dolores, and the son she nearly lost.

Before the world knew his name, before the roaring stadiums, before the trophies, before the record books bent under the weight of his greatness, Cristiano Ronaldo was an unborn child whose life hung in the balance.

His mother, Maria Dolores dos Santos Aveiro, has told the story with painful honesty. She was poor. She already had three children. Life in Madeira felt heavy, and another baby seemed impossible. In her fear, she sought an abortion. A pro-life doctor refused to help her end the life of the child in her womb. Dolores later tried home remedies, desperate methods passed along by others, but nothing worked.

Cristiano lived.

Dolores has said what every pro-life heart understands with gratitude: “I wanted to have an abortion, but God did not want that to happen.” Years later, standing on the other side of fear, she thanked God that she did not abort her son. She called Cristiano “the star that illuminated my life.”

That sentence tells the whole story.

The child she feared became her joy. The baby she thought she could not welcome became the son who would lift his family, honor his mother, and give the world one of the greatest athletes ever to play the game. Cristiano Ronaldo’s life does not matter because he became famous. His life mattered first because he was her son. His greatness did not create his dignity. It revealed what had always been true.

Every unborn child enters the world with a future no one can measure. A frightened mother may see only hardship. A doctor may see only risk. A culture poisoned by abortion may see only “choice.” But God sees a person. God sees a child. God sees the hidden joy that fear cannot imagine.

Dolores’ story also reminds us why protective laws matter. In that moment of crisis, abortion was not simply available on demand. A doctor did not turn fear into death. He did not confirm despair. He refused to cooperate with the destruction of an unborn child.

That refusal mattered.

His conscience mattered.

The law mattered.

The child lived.

We should never underestimate the power of one pro-life doctor, one protective law, one faithful voice, one moment of resistance against the lie that abortion solves anything. In Dolores’ case, those graces stood between Cristiano Ronaldo and death. In her own faith, God intervened. Through law, conscience, and the hands of those who would not assist in abortion, God’s angels guarded a child the world had not yet met.

And what a gift the world received.

But the greater gift belonged to Dolores. She did not merely give birth to a soccer legend. She gave birth to her son. She held the child she once feared. She watched him grow. She saw him run, compete, work, rise, and love her. She lived long enough to say, with the humility of a mother who knows how close she came to tragedy, that Cristiano became the light of her life.

This is the truth abortion hides from women. It tells a mother that the crisis is permanent and the child is the problem. It tells her that fear sees clearly. It tells her that ending a life will restore peace. But abortion never reveals the birthday, the first steps, the voice, the laughter, the future, the redemption, the grace.

Abortion is never the answer. It ends the child’s life and wounds the mother’s heart. It cuts off possibilities that only God can see.

Dolores Aveiro’s story does not tell us that every child will become Cristiano Ronaldo. It tells us something far more important. Every child is someone. Every child carries gifts no one can predict. Every child deserves protection before birth and welcome after birth.

The possibilities are endless when life wins.

A mother in fear became a mother in gratitude. A child marked for death became the joy of her life. And the world watched a son run across the field with the strength of a life that almost never had the chance to begin.
