Election integrity is paramount to preserving the democratic process and ensuring public confidence in electoral outcomes. Conservatives advocate for measures such as requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration, implementing voter ID laws, and maintaining accurate voter rolls to prevent fraud and ensure that only eligible citizens participate in elections. Recent initiatives, like President Trump's executive order mandating proof of citizenship and restricting the counting of late-arriving mail-in ballots, reflect these priorities.

The Right to Life

Abortion The term “abortion” actually refers to any premature expulsion of a human fetus, whether naturally spontaneous, as in a miscarriage, or artificially induced, as in a surgical or chemical abortion. Today, the most common usage of the term “abortion” applies to artificially induced abortion. In 1973, the Supreme Court handed down its Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton decisions legalizing abortion in all 50 states during all nine months of pregnancy, for any reason, medical, social, or otherwise… We believe that all children are a gift.
