3 prominent Republicans advocating for GOP to take softer stance on abortion
In Washington, D.C., intense demonstrations erupted outside the Supreme Court as the Republican National Committee (RNC) adopted a new party platform on abortion that distances itself from a national ban, aligning with President Donald Trump’s stance. The platform committee voted 84 to 18 in favor, assigning abortion regulation to states. The document, highlighting opposition to late-term abortion but advocating for prenatal care and birth control access, sparked backlash from pro-life leaders. Family Research Council President Tony Perkins criticized the hurried review process, and Live Action President Lila Rose condemned the lack of federal protection for preborn children, calling it a "devastating indictment" of national values. As Trump pledges no national ban, other GOP lawmakers also adopt more nuanced positions.

Christian pro-life protester sentenced to 6 months in prison: 'Worthy is the Lamb!'
In Nashville, Tennessee, pro-life activist Calvin Zastrow received a six-month federal prison sentence for blocking access to an abortion clinic, violating the FACE Act. The sentencing, handed down by U.S. District Judge Aleta Trauger, also includes three years of supervised release. Zastrow, who has a long history of pro-life protests, asserted his actions were motivated by his Christian faith, stating, "children are a blessing from God." Judge Trauger criticized his "religious fervor," noting it caused distress to others. Two other protesters, Coleman Boyd and Dennis Green, received house arrest and probation. Despite Trauma's acknowledgment of the non-violent nature of the protest, she emphasized the imposition of religious beliefs. Zastrow plans to appeal, framing his sentence as part of a larger spiritual battle.
