The planned closure of five Planned Parenthood “clinics” in Northern California is a victory for pre-born babies everywhere.
Because we were all in the womb once. And for you, or me, or anyone to be tortured and killed is murder, which screams to heaven for justice.
So be glad that California’s number one baby-killers — Planned Parenthood – is losing three hundred million dollars of your federal tax money. So they announced they’re closing five abortion clinics in Northern California!
California’s Planned Parenthood affiliates, the state’s largest abortion company, have lost $300 million in federal funding following the new federal law that defunds America’s biggest abortion business.
The congressional reconciliation bill, dubbed the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed by President Donald Trump earlier this month, prohibits Medicaid reimbursements for nonprofit health clinics that kill babies and receive more than $800,000 in federal funding annually, effectively cutting off federal support for California’s 114 Planned Parenthood clinics.
Planned Parenthood Mar Monte announced the closure of five health centers in Northern California and the Central Coast on Thursday, attributing the decision to federal funding cuts enacted through President Donald Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill.” The closures, affecting abortion centers in South San Francisco, Gilroy, Seaside, Merced, and North Highlands, mark a significant victory for pro-life advocates who have long sought to redirect taxpayer dollars away from abortion businesses.
What this means is:
1. Without federal tax dollars, you can expect more of California’s 114 Planned Parenthood abortuaries to close — making surgical abortions rarer in California, thus saving more innocent boys and girls who are literally waiting to be born.
2. Dangerous chemical abortions or abortion pills, which always kill babies but also harms many mothers, will likely increase in California, as the baby-killing Democrat Party politicians try to make abortion “more convenient.”
3. Democrat Party politicians will likely push baby-killing all the more, trampling parental rights, religious freedom, and business owner rights, as they try to kill more pre-born babies (which they never mention but always “justify”).
But none of this is justifiable, because murder cannot be justified, and abortion is murder. Why? Because science proves beyond a reasonable doubt that babies in the womb are human beings, growing since conception.
In California, the most dangerous place for a child is in his or her mother’s womb. Ironically, you’re safer as a convicted murderer on “death row” in San Quentin, where our Democrat-Party-controlled government pays to feed, clothe, and protect convicted murderers, but will also pay an abortionist to literally tear you apart in the God-designed sanctuary of your mother’s womb.
The state’s self-appointed guardian of abortion is the California Supreme Court. In 1981, the state high court redefined the California Constitution’s guarantee of paperwork privacy to mean “abortion,” and redefined “medical care” to include “abortion,” coldly declaring that “the asserted state interest in protecting fetal life cannot constitutionally claim priority over the woman’s fundamental right of procreative choice.”
In other words, no matter a girl or woman’s age, ability to pay, or number of prior abortions, the State of California will spend your taxpayer dollars to kill unwanted, preborn babies. If that wasn’t clear enough, the California Supreme Court, in 1997, struck down the parental consent for abortion law passed by the State Legislature by declaring that it violated the California Constitution’s right to “privacy.” Again, a green light to “privately” murder the smallest human beings!
Because the Liberal Left and the state bureaucracy is trying so hard to hide the truth about the humanity of babies in the womb, you have power when you expose the lie.
Please see and share these pro-life facts with others:
For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them. The Bible, Psalm 139:13-16
When it comes to being an American who’s truly free from sinful slavery, context and definition matter!
As you prepare to celebrate Independence Day, stop and realize that the “freedom” our U.S. founding fathers wrote about and fought for is freedom to do what’s right in God’s sight.
This is why an American Revolutionary War cry was “No king but King Jesus.” And it’s why U.S. Founding Father John Adams said he wanted to live in a free country where he could exercise his Christian values without punishment.
So embrace your freedom! But instead of redefining freedom as freedom to sin and do whatever you want, understand that true American freedom is our freedom to obey God rather than obeying immoral tyrants – including the tyranny of our own flesh.
The American Founding is a unique and remarkable moment in human history, marking the beginning of a new order of the ages. It was the first time the people, as the only earthly source of political authority, exercised their right to establish government based on their consent.
As Alexander Hamilton observed in the opening salvo of the first Federalist paper, Americans were “to decide the important question, whether societies of men are really capable or not of establishing good government on the basis of reflection and choice, or whether they are forever destined to depend for their political constitutions on accident and force.”
The Founding generation understood that they were dramatis personae on the world stage, cast and called to prove the capacity of mankind for self-government. If they succeeded, the forces of despotism would never again find their ambitions unobstructed.
Biblical freedom is not self-centered. It is others-focused. Christ sets us free not so we can do whatever we want, but so we can finally do what we were created for—loving God and serving others.
In a culture that defines freedom as individual rights, God’s Word reframes it as relational responsibility. The freest people are those who no longer live for themselves.
Practical advice: Look around. Who can you serve today? What can you sacrifice to uplift someone else? Use your freedom to bring life and healing to those in need.
So, stand firm. Don’t go back to chains. Live free—not for yourself, but for Christ and His Kingdom. Use your liberty to bless others, walk in holiness, and glorify God. That is true freedom—and you have it in Christ.
“Whosoever shall introduce into public affairs the principles of primitive Christianity will change the face of the world.” – Benjamin Franklin
“I have always said and always will say that the studious perusal of the Sacred Volume will make us better citizens.” – Thomas Jefferson
“The highest glory of the American Revolution was this: it connected, in one indissoluble bond, the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity.” – John Quincy Adams
“A general dissolution of principles and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America than the whole force of the common enemy. While the people are virtuous they cannot be subdued; but when once they lose their virtue they will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal invader.” – Samuel Adams
“Because we have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion … our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” – Letter of President John Adams in 1798

All the evidence points to men being special and fathers being vastly influential, even essential.
This Father’s Day week, please do something to honor a father you know. They need your affirmation, especially when the media, culture, and bad government policies tear them down.
Below is proof on the importance of fathers. Skim it to excite you about the great good that fathers can bestow upon their children. And if you’re a feminist skeptic, who thinks a woman can do everything a man can do, get ready to think anew!
Fathers are far more than just “second adults” in the home. Involved fathers – especially biological fathers – bring positive benefits to their children that no other person is as likely to bring. They provide protection and economic support and male role models. They have a parenting style that is significantly different from that of a mother and that difference is important in healthy child development. David Popenoe, Life Without Father, (New York: The Free Press, 1996), p. 163.
One of the most vital aspects of a dad’s contribution to the lives of his kids lies precisely in what Dr. Popenoe calls his “significantly different parenting style.” Men and women are different. As a result mothers and fathers parent their children differently.
Dads, for instance, love their children “more dangerously.” That’s because they play “rougher” and are more likely to encourage risk-taking. They provide kids with a broader diversity of social experiences. They also introduce them to a wider variety of methods of dealing with life. They tend to stress rules, justice, fairness, and duty in discipline. In this way, they teach children the objectivity and consequences of right and wrong. They give kids insight into the world of men. They prepare them for the challenges of life and demonstrate by example the meaning of respect between the sexes. In connection with this last point, research indicates that a married father is substantially less likely to abuse his wife or children than men in any other category.
Fathers encourage competition, engendering independence. Mothers promote equity, creating a sense of security. Dads emphasize conceptual communication, which helps kids expand their vocabulary and intellectual capacities. Moms major in sympathy, care, and help, thus demonstrating the importance of relationships. Dads tend to see their child in relation to the rest of the world. Moms tend to see the rest of the world in relation to their child. Neither style of parenting is adequate in and of itself. Taken together, they balance each other out and equip the up-and-coming generation with a healthy, well-rounded approach to life.
And here’s my personal encouragement for professing Christian fathers and their wives:
When fathers are strong, practical hope for our nation increases.
If you want a good culture and good government again, strengthen your own home with fathers being the center of it.
For when a man reads the Word of God and grows in God’s purposes, he needs and deserves his wife’s support, not her distrustful opposition.
Bottom line, we need real men to love King Jesus, and real women to intrinsically respect the man as the family’s loving leader. As a result, good wives receive more security, love, purpose, and peace.
This Father’s Day, let’s intrinsically value fathers and husbands – let’s strengthen men to be the men that God designed them to be!
My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord, Nor detest His correction; For whom the Lord loves He corrects, Just as a father the son in whom he delights. Proverbs 3:11-12
Endure your suffering as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is there that a father does not discipline? Hebrews 12:7
Put him into the garden – to dress it, and to keep it. — Horticulture, or gardening, is the first kind of employment on record, and that in which man was engaged while in a state of perfection and innocence. Though the garden may be supposed to produce all things spontaneously, as the whole vegetable surface of the earth certainly did at the creation, yet dressing and tilling were afterwards necessary to maintain the different kinds of plants and vegetables in their perfection, and to repress luxuriance. Even in a state of innocence we cannot conceive it possible that man could have been happy if inactive. God gave him work to do, and his employment contributed to his happiness; for the structure of his body, as well as of his mind, plainly proves that he was never intended for a merely contemplative life. Adam Clarke commentary on Genesis 2:15
