The Daily Signal - Here’s Where to Go If You Need Help With your Unexpected Pregnancy

It’s a post-Roe world and life appears to be winning.

But even though the issue of abortion now moves back to the American people to decide, there will still be women who need help and assistance with unexpected pregnancies.

Jeanne Mancini, president of March for Life, says that there are a treasure trove of resources available for those who need them. They just need to know where to look.

"There is a pregnancy resource center movement with well over 3,000 pregnancy care centers, pregnancy resource centers, and so typically they are in your local community," she explains. "These resource centers will provide things like pregnancy tests or ultrasounds or STD tests or health care or diapers, formula, et cetera, housing even in some cases."

There's also a well developed network to help with finding these resources, Mancini says.

"The two umbrella groups that you would definitely want to check out are Heartbeat International, which is in Ohio, but many of the pregnancy care centers are under their umbrella," she explains, "Then the second one is Care Net, which is based out of Northern Virginia, and they have a wonderful hotline."

We also cover these stories:

  • The Supreme Court rules in favor of Washington state football coach Joe Kennedy and his right to prayer.
  • Justice Clarence Thomas suggests the Supreme Court should reconsider a prior ruling making it more difficult to sue media organizations.
  • New voter registration data analyzed by the Associated Press finds more than 1 million American voters have switched over to the Republican Party.

Consider This from NPR - On Gun Control, Two Big Steps In Opposite Directions

Congress and the Supreme Court took big steps in opposite directions last week, in the country's long standing debate on whether and how to regulate guns.

Congress passed the first major federal gun legislation in decades, with bipartisan support. President Biden signed it into law on Saturday.

Meanwhile, on Thursday, the Supreme Court issued a 6-3 opinion striking down a major gun control law in New York. The sweeping ruling puts many other gun regulations in states across the country, on shaky ground.

Daniel Webster, whose research focuses on policies intended to reduce gun violence, explains the real world impact he anticipates after these changes. Webster is Co-Director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Violence Solutions.

This episode features reporting from NPR's Nina Totenberg.

In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.
