In the wake of the overturning of Roe vs. Wade, Crisis Pregnancy Centers all over the nation have been attacked and vandalized by "Pro-Abortion Radicals,"  but the attacks haven't stopped there.  Recently, the Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healy attacked PRC clinics in her state.  Healy accused the centers of not providing reproductive healthcare and exist solely for the purpose of preventing people from accessing abortion care.  On the states website, Healy published a number of PRC centers and noted foremost that they did not commit or refer for abortions, that they may knowingly mislead pregnant women, and may not be staffed by licensed medical personnel.   The PRC Centers united and sent at letter to Healy condemning her report.  They stated that they're faith-based organizations that are dedicated to helping pregnant women in their communities who are in need of assistance.  They further pointed out that at least two of the PRC's listed by Healy are me

Eighteen-year-old Chloe Cole recently gave a public speech denouncing Gender Transformation.  In an emotional, heartfelt speech, Chloe stated that the "beauty of motherhood" was stolen from her by medical  professionals.  It was at the age of 12 that Chloe identified as being a boy.  One year later, she began using puberty blockers and receiving testosterone injections.  Though her parents were reluctant to have their daughter going through all of this, especially at such a young age, they were pressured to do so by medical professionals who told them "Would you rather have a dead daughter or a living son?"   Chloe's Testimony Upon hearing this, her parents decided to sign anything that the doctors placed before them without question.  At the age of 15, Chloe underwent a double mastectomy and the following year, Chloe finally came to the realization that she had made a terrible mistake, that she was a woman and not a man, but this realization came too late.  The

For years, women in Iran have been protesting the regime's inhumane treatment and repression of the female populace.  Now, the regime has claimed yet another victim.  Masha Amini, a 22-year-old Iranian-Kurd died at the hands of Iran's morality police for allegedly "not wearing her Hijab properly."  At 6pm on September 14, Amini was arrested by Iran's morality police while she was on her way to visit relatives in the capital city of Iran.  Witnesses state that the police were beating as they forced her into their van (though of course the police are denying this).  The police told Amini's family that she would be taken to a local detention center for a "re-education class" for a few hours, and then be released.  However, upon arrival to the detention center, Amini was soon taken to a local hospital, where she spent two days in a coma before she was pronounced dead.  The Iranian authorities claim Amini died of heart failure, but her family is contestin

The Arrest of Ashfaq Masih World Watch Monitor is reporting that religious minorities are falling victim to militant attacks across the Pakistan-Afghanistan border region.  On Aug. 08, gunmen opened fire on the Christian colony in the town of Mastung, killing a Pakistani Catholic and wounding several others.  Sadly, the Pakistani government is not only failing to take action against these attacks, but in truth, fueling the persecution with their ongoing blasphemy laws.  On July 04 of this year, 34-year-old bicycle repair shop owner Ashfaq Masih was sentenced to death for blasphemy after one of his customers, Muhammad Irfan, accused him of disrespecting the Prophet Muhammad.  In truth, Muhammad was demanding that Ashfaq not charge him for repairing his bicycle, & Ashfaq, refused. This year, the United Nations officially observed Aug. 22 as the "International Day Commemorating the Victims of Acts of Violence Based on Religious Belief."  Sadly, this practice has become the n

Over a time period of two weeks, a string of fires struck 11 churches across Egypt and claimed the lives of dozens of Coptic Christians.  A fire at the Abu Sefein Church in Cairo claimed the lives of 41 worshippers, including 18 children.  Most of the victims died of asphyxiation when 5,000 worshippers tried to escape the blaze in a church that lacked adequate emergency exits.  Amir Magdi, a senior researcher with the Human Rights Watch Middle East & North African Division, lay the blame for the church fires on the ongoing systematic persecution that the Coptic Christians are continually enduring in Europe.   Until the year 2016, Coptic Christians required direct Presidential approval to build new churches or renovate existing ones, a permit that was next to impossible to obtain.  This forced many Christians to hold covert services in commercial or industrial buildings.  After 2016, the Egyptian government permitted local governors to make the decision to issue a permit instead of
