This Week Vice President Vance Will Headline World’s Largest Human Rights Gathering

By: Nicole Hunt

This Friday, the pro-life community will rally in Washington, D.C. at the 53rd National March for Life — the largest annual human rights gathering in the world.

This year’s event will be held on Friday, January 23, 2026, and Vice President Vance will keynote the rally for the second year in a row. Last year, the March for Life marked Vance’s first public appearance after being sworn as vice president of the United States.

The theme this year is “Life is a Gift,” inviting participants to reflect on the inherent worth of every human life, and celebrate the dignity of mothers, babies and families.

The March for Life is rooted in the long tradition of peaceful advocacy since its founding in 1973, following the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade.

Trump Administration Delivers Pro-Life Wins Ahead of March for Life
By: Zachary M. Mettler

Ahead of the annual March for Life being held Friday, January 23, 2026, in Washington, D.C., the Trump administration announced two policy changes designed to protect preborn life and promote the sanctity of human life.

On Thursday, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced a policy ending the use of human fetal tissue – derived from the bodies of aborted human babies — in NIH-supported research.

Taxpayer money will “no longer be used to support research involving human fetal tissue from elective abortions,” NIH said. The policy applies all NIH-supported extramural research, including grants, cooperative agreements, other transaction awards, and research and development contracts.

NIH-supported research using fetal tissue from aborted babies has declined since 2019, with 77 projects funded in Fiscal Year 2024.

“NIH is pushing American biomedical science into the 21st century,” said NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya.

“This decision is about advancing science by investing in breakthrough technologies more capable of modeling human health and disease,” he added. “Under President Trump’s leadership, taxpayer-funded research must reflect the best science of today and the values of the American people.”

Celebs Lobby Against Keeping Boys Out of Women’s Sports in ACLU Ad
By: Emily Washburn

Several celebrities and sports stars supported transgender-identified boys invading girls sports last week in an ad for the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).

The thirty second video aired last Tuesday, when the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in State of West Virginia v. BPJ and Little v. Hecox — two cases which will determine whether states can enforce laws keeping boys out of girls sports.

None of the ad’s nine named stars ever played a sport against a member of the opposite sex. Retired professional athletes Sue Bird and Megan Rapinoe, who played basketball and soccer, respectively, made their fortunes playing in single-sex leagues.

Rapinoe and the U.S. women’s soccer team even lost a scrimmage to an under-15 boys team in 2017.

Only one of the video’s celebs — professional basketball player Brianna Turner — might ever face a male on the court.

The ad’s remaining menagerie of cultural elites stand to lose nothing if the Supreme Court strips women of sex-specific sports protections.

Washington State Citizens Fight for Parents’ Rights, Girls Sports
By: Jeff Johnston

Supporters of parents’ rights and girls sports submitted two citizen initiatives to the Washington State Legislature.

Restoring the Parents’ Bill of Rights, IL26-001, repeals sections of legislation passed in 2025 that stripped parents of their rights in education.

The measure guarantees parents have access to their children’s instructional materials and school records; requires parental notification when schools provide medical services; allows parents to opt children out of surveys, questionnaires and sexual education; and assures families their religious beliefs will be respected.

Initiative Measure IL26-638, Protecting Fairness in Girls Sports, prohibits “male students from competing with and against female students in athletic activities with separate classifications for male and female students.”

Brian Noble, CEO of the Family Policy Institute of Washington, explained to the Daily Citizen, “Both initiatives are a demonstration of how citizens in Washington can impact policy despite conservatives being significantly outnumbered in both the Washington House and Senate.”

He added:

“God has given us a scriptural mandate to be engaged actively on the battlefield of the public square. Scripture calls Christians to steward all that God has created, including the governmental sphere.”

Erika Kirk: “The opinions of this world mean nothing to me.”
By: Paul Batura

It’s been 134 days since an assassin’s bullet killed her husband, Charlie Kirk, but Erika Kirk has soldiered on, including speaking last night at Harvest Church in Los Angeles to kick off Turning Point USA’s “Make Heaven Crowded” tour.

Billed as “A gospel centered gathering calling people to repentance, faith, and bold obedience to Jesus,” the event is planned for 29 other cities this year throughout the United States. They’ll be at Awaken Church in San Diego on Thursday night.

In addition to TPUSA president Erika Kirk, Wednesday’s service featured Pastor Greg Laurie.

At the time of the slain TPUSA founder’s death, Pastor Laurie had stated, “The greatest tribute we can pay to Charlie is calling people to Christ and speaking unashamedly on cultural issues.”

That’s precisely what many within the TPUSA orbit have done, especially Erika Kirk. For doing so, she’s been vilified by some radical activists and even accused by unhinged conspiratorialists for being implicit in her husband’s murder. Others have judged her for jumping back into the work, even questioning how she’s been grieving.

Rather than engage the criticism or defend her actions, Mrs. Kirk has kept her focus on the work at hand. She told Fox News’ Shannon Bream, “If myself or Charlie spent every single second responding to every accusation, responding to every insult, every judgment, we’d get nothing done. We just wouldn’t. I’m not gonna ask God to remove those people from life. It just makes me stronger.”
