DOJ Report Confirms Biden Administration Weaponized Federal Law Against Pro-Lifers
The U.S. Department of Justice released a report last week confirming what many pro-life Americans have suspected for years: the Biden Administration used the power of the federal government to target and punish people for their pro-life beliefs.
The report produced by the DOJ’s Weaponization Working Group reviewed more than 700,000 internal records. What it found is deeply troubling.
The Biden DOJ worked hand-in-hand with pro-abortion groups like Planned Parenthood and the National Abortion Federation to track pro-life activists, build dossiers on them, and push for their prosecution. Prosecutors withheld evidence from defendants, tried to screen religious people off juries, and pushed for sentences averaging more than two years in prison for pro-life defendants — more than twice the average sentence sought for violent pro-abortion offenders.
Meanwhile, attacks against pregnancy resource centers were ignored or downplayed.
President Trump issued pardons to many of the pro-lifers targeted by the Biden DOJ, and the current DOJ has dismissed several of those cases. That is the right call.
Arkansas families and churches should know that standing up for innocent human life is never wrong. We are grateful the record is finally being set straight.

CDC Data Shows Fertility Rate in America at an All Time Low
Public health data released last week shows the fertility rate in the U.S. dropped to an all-time low last year.
Over the past 20 years, the number of children born each year in the U.S. has dropped significantly, and the total fertility rate in the U.S. is well below the replacement rate — meaning America’s population is declining.
The CDC’s latest statistical data shows births in the U.S. declined by 1% from 2024 to 2025 — reaching record laws. The Congressional Budget Office projects that by the year 2030 there will be more deaths than births in America. The CBO suggests bolstering the U.S. population through immigration, but even at that, it believes America will stop growing by the year 2056.
Back in 2024, Pew Research Center found nearly half of adults under 50 in America don’t plan to have children. That’s a sharp change from 2018, when 61% of adults under 50 said they planned to have children someday.
Last fall, Pew also released a survey showing that most Americans believe it would hurt the U.S. in the future if fewer people have kids. In other words, most Americans understand that the U.S.’s declining birthrate is going to be a problem in the future.
All of this underscores how our society seems to view children as, at best, an accessory, and, at worst, a burden.
Society doesn’t treat children like they are a blessing from the Lord. Instead, people have been told that children will somehow stop them from doing what they want.
The truth is, children are good for society. We’ve seen in other countries how low birth rates hurt the economy, contribute to labor shortages, and make it harder to care for the elderly.
In 2020, a Chinese Communist Party official admitted the country needed to do more to raise its birthrate in order to “meet labor demands.” The situation in China has only gotten worse since then.
But more than just being good for society, children are a blessing. Children are an incredible responsibility, but they’re also an incredible joy. As John Stonestreet once said, “Every person bears the image of God, so whenever families produce children, they mirror God to the world. Sure kids are sometimes irritating, but they’re often hilarious, and they always remind us that life isn’t about ourselves.”
That’s a message more Americans should take to heart.
