Does today’s culture value human life in the same way that our Founding Father, Thomas Jefferson, did when he penned the Declaration of Independence? According to statistics compiled by the National Right to Life organization, there have been approximately 63+ million abortions performed in the United States since 1973. While there’s no doubt that Jefferson was fully committed to the concept of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for all citizens, many Americans today have been deceived into believing that the right to life only applies to life outside the womb. But if the unborn don’t truly hold these inalienable rights as described in our founding documents, does anyone else?

How should we live?How should we think?How should we vote? Are these questions with objectively right or wrong answers? That is to say, is it true — apart from human opinion — that humanity ought to live, think, and even vote in a certain manner? Some Questions that Need Answering If it is not objectively right or wrong to live, think, or vote in a certain manner, then does anything really matter? Moreover, if it is objectively wrong to live, think, and vote in a certain manner — how would we know? After all, is how we ought to vote determined by the majority vote? That doesn’t seem right. Are these things merely based on your emotions or “how it makes you feel?” That doesn’t seem right either because, as Ben Shapiro often says “Facts don’t care about your feelings.” One…

What would you do if you learned that your child’s school had been plotting an elaborate scheme to legally abduct your child, cutting off all communication from you and forcing them into a state-run facility because they view you as the enemy? Could we really be living in an America where teachers introduce vulnerable students to drugs and pornography, implanting transgender ideology into their minds, all the while deliberately hiding it from their parents? Believe it or not, these horror stories are happening all over the country, even in America’s most conservative states! But what can you do to protect your children? This week, Frank sits down with Laura Bryant Hanford, an advocate for human rights, religious freedom and school policy, a contributing writer to The Federalist, and a graduate of Princeton University.…
