She’s a sweet 2-year-old girl in the hospital after suffering a drowning accident on Memorial Day.

Just days after the incident, her family learned that the hospital planned to declare her brain dead and remove her ventilator.

The Camp family couldn’t give up on their daughter… They looked for someone to help. With the support of Texas Right to Life and other Pro-Life advocates, the family won a court order preventing harmful brain death tests and keeping Annelise’s ventilator.

The hospital and family then agreed to work together to find a new facility for Annelise… until tomorrow morning. If they can’t, Texas Children’s will start harmful brain death tests again as early as 9:00 a.m.

Her parents are fighting for every possible opportunity for their daughter to recover. Her father, Johnston, shared:
“If there’s that one percent chance or that five percent chance of results, we’re going to take it.”

The Camp family is trying to transfer to another place that will continue caring for her and give her the time she deserves.

Plus, Annelise is improving!

• Her pupils respond to light;
• She is digesting; and
• Her body continues to function and respond.

Annelise is not brain dead! She deserves a chance!

Please join us in praying for:

• Healing for Annelise
• A medical facility willing to accept her before tomorrow’s deadline
• Wisdom, discernment, and strength for her family
• Guidance for all of the Pro-Life advocates fighting for Annelise

Thank you for praying for Annelise and protecting her life!

During a recent speech, California Representative Lateefah Simon criticized the Supreme Court, Republicans, and Pro-Life laws across the country.

“The Supreme Court is leading this country into the mud,” Simon said.

She went on to say, “The Democrats are out of touch, the Republicans are klansmen…”

But her most heartbreaking comments came when discussing abortion.

“There is over 20 states right now where women can’t access the right to abortion. We have to create underground railroads,” Lateefah said.

The phrase “underground railroad” is a reference to the network that helped enslaved people escape to freedom before the Civil War. Simon used the term to describe efforts to help women travel from Pro-Life states to states where abortion remains legal.

Her comments highlight just how far some abortion advocates are willing to go to promote the killing of babies in the womb.

Approximately 1.14 million abortions took place in the United States in 2024, according to the Guttmacher Institute. To put that number into perspective, that’s more people than the entire populations of Wyoming, Vermont, Alaska, North Dakota, or South Dakota.

Every year, over one million unborn children lose their lives to abortion.

Yet anti-Life advocates continue to argue that what America needs is easier access to kill babies.

But women don’t need an abortion underground railroad.

They need support, resources, and people around them telling them they can do this. Texas is full of pregnancy resource centers, adoption agencies, and maternity homes ready to be the encouragement mothers need.

Organizations like Planned Parenthood often present abortion as the solution to a difficult situation. But countless women have found that choosing Life brought blessings they never expected.

In fact, research from the Institute for Family Studies found that married mothers are twice as likely to describe themselves as “very happy” compared to women who are unmarried or childless.

Abortion also comes with risks that are rarely discussed by politicians advocating for expanded access.

Abortion pills now account for the majority of how preborn babies are killed in the United States. Recent research has raised concerns about the safety of chemical abortions. One study found that more than one in ten women experienced serious medical complications following a chemical abortion, a rate significantly higher than what has often been reported in public discussions.

Beyond the statistics and political talking points are real women facing difficult situations. The answer to their distress isn’t helping women end the lives of their children.

The answer is making sure they have the support, encouragement, and practical help they need to choose Life.

While some politicians call for abortion “underground railroads,” Pro-Life advocates continue working toward a different goal: building a culture where no woman feels abortion is her only option and every baby in the womb is valued.

The 26-year-old actress and singer says welcoming her son Halo has made her life better in more ways than one.

During a recent appearance on Live with Kelly and Mark, Bailey shared how motherhood has affected her personally and creatively.

“It changes you so much because I feel like I feel things so much deeper now,” Bailey said. “It’s a great recipe for creating and writing because you have so much more to talk about and a deeper sense of emotions.” She added, “I’ve never felt any love like this. It’s crazy.”

That’s not exactly the message our culture likes to push.

Women are constantly told that having children will slow them down, derail their dreams, or make it impossible to have a successful career. But Halle says the opposite happened.

Motherhood didn’t take away from her life. It added to it.

Bailey talked more about her son while attending the Peabody Awards in May. She called 2-year-old Halo her “biggest blessing” and shared what kind of person she hopes he grows up to be.

“I guess I’m just trying to raise someone who’s loving, who’s kind, who is aware, who’s intuitive,” she said. “And he’s all of those things.”

“I’m just hoping I’m doing my best,” she added.

When Bailey first announced Halo’s birth, she shared how much he already meant to her.

“Even though we’re a few days into the new year, the greatest thing that 2023 could have done for me, was bring me my son,” she wrote. “Welcome to the world my halo.”

Her comments are encouraging for women who may be wondering if motherhood and their goals can coexist.

Spend five minutes online and you’ll find countless Reddit threads, X posts, and chat forums filled with women asking the same question:

Can I still chase my dreams if I become a mom?

Some are pregnant and scared. Others worry they’ll have to choose between building a career and raising a family.

That’s why stories like Bailey’s matter.

One of the most recognizable young stars in the world is saying something many moms already know: having a child didn’t ruin her future. It gave her a deeper purpose, more inspiration, and a kind of love she had never experienced before.

When celebrities openly celebrate parenthood instead of treating it like a burden, people notice.

And for women who are afraid that motherhood will hold them back, Halle’s story offers a hopeful reminder:

Sometimes the things we’re told will limit us end up becoming our greatest blessings.

Recently, the Texas Medical Board disciplined three physicians for failing to give legal, life-saving care to pregnant women.

One doctor refused to properly treat Porsha Ngumezi while she was going through a natural miscarriage. Two other doctors failed to step in and save the life of pregnant teenager Nevaeh Crain.

These tragedies should never have happened.

After Roe v. Wade was overturned, Texas made elective abortion illegal to protect preborn children. But Texas law has always allowed doctors to treat women facing serious pregnancy complications or life-threatening situations. Doctors can legally remove a miscarried baby, treat dangerous infections, and intervene to save a mother’s life.

That has never been against the law.

Still, abortion activists and liberal media outlets spent years telling women the opposite. They claimed Pro-Life laws would stop doctors from treating miscarriages or helping women in emergencies. Those claims caused fear and confusion across the state.

But miscarriage care is not the same thing as abortion.

A miscarriage happens when a baby has already died naturally. Treating a miscarriage does not intentionally end a child’s life. Abortion, on the other hand, intentionally kills a living preborn child. Texas laws banning abortion do not ban miscarriage care.

Sadly, the Texas Medical Board waited nearly two years to clearly explain what the law already said. Eventually, the Board confirmed doctors do not have to wait until a woman is at death’s door before helping her. If the danger is foreseeable, doctors are allowed to act.

To help clear up any remaining confusion, Texas lawmakers passed the Life of the Mother Act this year, led by Senator Bryan Hughes. The law makes it even clearer that physicians can provide life-saving care to pregnant women without violating Texas abortion laws. It also requires additional education for doctors and attorneys so tragedies like these are less likely to happen again.

Women like Porsha and Nevaeh deserved better.

If their doctors had followed the law and provided timely care, their stories could have ended very differently.

The Texas Medical Board’s decision to discipline these physicians sends an important message: doctors who fail to provide legal medical care will be held accountable.

Texas can protect both mothers and babies. And no woman should lose her life because of misinformation, fear, or medical negligence.

Instead of investing in more care, support, and hope for people who are suffering, the Canadian government legalized assisted suicide through a program called Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID). From the beginning, it was presented as a “last resort” for people with serious illnesses — treating death as the answer to suffering instead of offering true compassion, care, and support.

But nearly ten years later, the program has expanded far beyond that.

Today, people with disabilities, chronic illnesses, loneliness, and even mental health struggles are increasingly being offered death instead of real help and support.

And the numbers continue to rise:

• Ontario’s latest MAID report showed a 7.2% increase in euthanasia deaths from 2024 to 2025.
• Analysts estimate that about 17,650 Canadians died through euthanasia in 2025 alone.
• Across Canada, MAID deaths rose another 6.9% between 2024 and 2025.
• Since the program began, more than 94,000 Canadians have died through euthanasia.
• At the current pace, Canada is expected to surpass 100,000 euthanasia deaths in 2026.

These numbers are alarming; assisted suicide is no longer rare in Canada. In fact, about 1 in every 20 deaths now happens through euthanasia.

Even more concerning, many of these patients were not close to dying. Some were living with disabilities, chronic illnesses, or emotional suffering.

Several heartbreaking stories have raised even more serious concerns about the program.

In one case, a woman was euthanized after her husband said he was exhausted from caring for her. In another case, a man struggling with loneliness and a medical condition chose euthanasia instead of receiving deeper support and care. Another woman reportedly left Canada to seek cancer treatment elsewhere after being told assisted suicide was her only option.

These stories point to a painful reality: many vulnerable people are choosing MAID not because death is their only option, but because they feel abandoned, unsupported, or unable to get the help they truly need.

Rather than strengthening support systems, Canada continues pushing to expand euthanasia eligibility even further. Leaders have worked for years to allow MAID for people whose only condition is mental illness.

That means someone suffering from severe depression, anxiety, or an eating disorder could potentially qualify for assisted suicide.

Medical Assistance in Dying is already a deeply troubling practice. Expanding it to people struggling with mental illness raises even more serious moral and medical concerns. Those facing depression, anxiety, or emotional suffering need compassion, treatment, and real support — not a system that presents death as the answer to their pain.

Canada’s experience should serve as a warning to the rest of the world.

True compassion does not end suffering by ending a life. Every human being has inherent dignity and value, regardless of age, disability, illness, or circumstance.

Miriam was rushed by ambulance to Vancouver General Hospital after waking up with excruciating back pain. Scared and in agony, she expected doctors to focus on diagnosing the source of her pain. Instead, the first thing she remembers hearing was a young female doctor saying, “I would like to offer you MAID.”

MAID is Canada’s physician-assisted suicide program, which allows doctors or nurse practitioners to give patients drugs that end their lives. The law includes rules meant to protect patients, such as voluntary consent, approval from two independent medical professionals, and rules about who qualifies for serious medical conditions. However, these safeguards are insufficient given how quickly and frequently assisted suicide is being offered to patients. 

Eventually, Miriam was transferred to another Hospital, where doctors discovered the true source of her pain: a tiny crack in the lower part of her spine/pelvis. Although surgery was not possible, she was prescribed bed rest and physical exercises for three weeks. In time, she recovered enough to return home. 

Looking back on the experience, Miriam later reflected, “Oh, I’ve been given a second chance here. I am going to make the most of whatever time is left.” Instead of giving up hope,  she embraced Life with a new sense of gratitude. She traveled with her daughter to Cuba, Mexico, and Guatemala, and even went horseback riding on a volcano.

What makes Miriam’s story even more striking is that this was not her first encounter with MAID. Three years earlier, her husband was offered physician-assisted suicide at the same hospital. As practicing Catholics, both Miriam and her husband firmly reject the idea of intentionally ending their lives. 

Stories like Mariam’s raise serious concerns about the growing use of assisted suicide. Her experience is not an isolated case. Kristen, an American woman living in Canada, shares a similar story. As she battled ovarian cancer, she and her family rejected a Canadian doctor’s assessment that MAID was an appropriate option. Ultimately, they left Canada and traveled to the United States in search of continued treatment and care. 

Amanda Achtman, who runs a project focused on restoring a culture that values Life, explains that “simply having euthanasia offered already kills a person, because it deflates and defeats a person’s sense of self-worth, self-esteem, and of value.” 

For many people of faith, the growing acceptance of euthanasia reflects a broader cultural shift away from the dignity and the God-given value of every human life. Scripture reminds us in Jeremiah 1:5, “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.” Every person is uniquely created, known, and loved by God, and every life possesses inherent value. 

So how can we help build a culture that values life instead of encouraging premature death? 

• Pray and Fast – We are, as Paul said in Ephesians 6:12, not contending against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of evil. We are in a spiritual battle to not only save lives but also souls. Prayer is powerful, and fasting strengthens our dependence on God. Whether it means giving up food, limiting screen time, or sacrificing small comforts, fasting can help direct our hearts toward God.

• Encourage hope – In John 16:33, Jesus tells us that we will face suffering in this world, but we should be of good cheer because He has overcome the world! We should always have hope and bring all of our troubles to the Lord. People facing illness, loneliness, or despair need compassion, support, and reminders that their lives still matter. 
  
• Educate others – Finally, we must educate our peers. Future generations should understand both the dangers of a culture of death and the immeasurable value of every human life. By speaking openly, compassionately, and truthfully, we can help create a society that chooses care over despair and Life over death.
