The Supreme Court takes up New Jersey’s baseless assault on pro-life support for moms
New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin’s office was recently forced to make a stunning admission before the U.S. Supreme Court. During oral arguments, Platkin’s team conceded that although the state issued a sweeping subpoena against a pregnancy center — First Choice Women’s Resource Centers — the office had no complaints against the organization.
That admission stripped away any pretense that the attorney general was protecting consumers. It revealed the real motive: a fishing expedition into constitutionally protected internal records and private donor information for no reason other than First Choice’s commitment to life-affirming support for women. Now the court must decide whether New Jersey’s top law enforcement officer can bully pro-life charities out of helping women and families.
When First Choice made its case before the Supreme Court, it stood up for every American who believes mothers deserve compassion without harassment from the state.
What’s at stake is the work of pregnancy centers and charities nationwide that help women sustain their decision for life. These organizations provide the material and emotional resources mothers need to meet their own needs and the needs of their children.
Choosing life for an unborn child is never a one-time decision. It’s a daily commitment made amid financial, professional, emotional, or health-related pressures — and often in the face of serious challenges in securing food, clothing, housing, and other essentials. Women deserve support in every one of those areas so they can pursue their ambitions with their children. Pro-life Americans stand ready to offer that support. Platkin prefers abortion over help for moms.
Research shows that 60% of women who have had abortions would have preferred to choose life if they had more financial security or emotional support. Pregnancy centers and life-affirming organizations across the country confront this reality every day. Last year alone, they provided $452 million in support services, medical care, and material goods — all free of charge.
And the need keeps growing. Over the past two years, pregnancy centers increased their material assistance by 48% to ensure that women have what they need to thrive in pregnancy and early parenting. In 2024 alone, they served 1 million new clients.
When families face challenges beyond diapers and baby supplies, pregnancy centers rise to meet them. At Real Options Pregnancy Center in Texas, staff provided full Thanksgiving meals to local families. In Chicago, a center hosts an annual Christmas celebration so moms can put gifts under the tree. Across the country, community partners working with Her PLAN offer free car maintenance and help women escape trafficking and addiction, secure housing, and receive job training.
Every woman’s story is unique. Pregnancy centers recognize that dignity, which is why they collaborate with trusted community resources to provide comprehensive support tailored to each individual who walks through their doors.
This community network forms the pro-life safety net that Her PLAN strengthens through grassroots engagement and an online directory of vetted service providers across seven categories of care. For women with nowhere else to turn, this wraparound support provides stability, hope, and practical help.

Women who receive services from pregnancy centers report a 98% satisfaction rate. The real measure of success, however, is the women who later return to help others.
Courtney, once overwhelmed by two unexpected pregnancies, now works at the very center that supported her.
Jean Marie, who escaped human trafficking with the help of a New Hampshire pregnancy center, now runs a center in Vermont, using her experience to counsel vulnerable women.
In Northern Virginia, a maternity home helped Shawnte when she lost her job and housing. Today she works as a peer-recovery coach and credits the maternity home with giving her the strength not to abort “a child I knew I wanted, just because things got hard.”
These women — and countless others — were empowered by the pro-life safety net and now devote themselves to strengthening it for the next mother in crisis.
This is work that protects lives, stabilizes families, and strengthens communities. It deserves support, not intimidation from pro-abortion politicians. When First Choice made its case before the Supreme Court, it stood up for every American who believes mothers deserve compassion without harassment from the state.
Helping women is not controversial. It is love in action.

Inside President Trump’s new ‘America First’ national security strategy
With the first year of the second Trump administration coming to a close, Present Donald Trump has articulated a new national security strategy that will “build upon” his substantial achievements thus far.
On Friday, the Trump administration published a document that lays out the National Security Strategy to put America first going forward.
‘In everything we do, we are putting America First.’
The 33-page document highlights President Trump’s successes and frames his time in office as a correction of failed policies from past administrations and conventional wisdom.

Looking to the future, the document asks a simple question: what should the United States want?
It goes on to highlight the core tenets of what the Trump administration will work to achieve, including the “survival and safety” of U.S. citizens, control over our borders and freedom from “destructive propaganda and influence operations,” a strong military, economy, energy grid, and a “robust industrial base.”
The document goes into more detail and lists other wants of the country, but it also issues a reimagining of “soft power” entails: “‘Soft power’ that serves America’s true national interest is effective only if we believe in our country’s inherent greatness and decency.”
In our dealings with the world, the strategy reiterates its desire to control the Western Hemisphere without foreign incursions and to have unimpeded strategic access in the hemisphere, thus asserting a “Trump Corollary” to the Monroe Doctrine.
In addition, the strategy highlights the desire to avoid “forever wars,” maintain primacy in the tech sector, and to restore a Europe, it says, that is in danger of “civilizational erasure” thanks to institutions which have “undermined political liberty and sovereignty.”
“We want Europe to remain European, to regain its civilizational self-confidence, and to abandon its failed focus on regulatory suffocation.”
The strategy also highlighted that Europe’s principal alliance with the United States, NATO, is not guaranteed perpetually if the character of the nations change through rampant immigration from the third-world.
The document says it is “plausible” that certain NATO countries will be “non-European” in the next few decades, which could mean that they will view the United States and themselves differently than those who signed the charter.
Crucially, President Trump writes: “In everything we do, we are putting America first. … In the years ahead, we will continue to develop every dimension of our national strength–and we will make America safer, richer, freer, greater, and more powerful than ever before.”

Federal judge in Florida orders release of long-hidden Epstein grand jury documents
After the nearly unanimous passage of the Epstein Files Transparency Act last month, many have wondered what other files and information have yet to be disclosed amid the heated controversy over the Epstein files.
A federal judge in Florida just ordered the release of grand jury documents from an old case against Epstein, defying past orders not to release them.
U.S. District Judge Rodney Smith argued that a recent law now takes precedence over the rules that prohibited past disclosure.
U.S. District Judge Rodney Smith has ordered the release of grand jury transcripts related to investigations from 2005 and 2007 involving convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Grand jury proceedings are often conducted in private and there are higher standards to meet in order to disclose transcripts from them.
However, U.S. District Judge Rodney Smith, in his short decision to release the transcripts, argued that a recent law now takes precedence over the rules that prohibited past disclosure.
Representative Thomas Massie (R-Ky), who spearheaded the effort for disclosure, posted the news of the ruling on X on Friday afternoon.
Massie highlighted the fact that the Epstein Files Transparency Act played a crucial role in the judge’s decision to override past decisions against disclosure.
The Act, being “later-enacted” and more “specific”, trumps the rules barring the release of the documents in the past.
Epstein was not convicted of any crimes as a result of this grand jury investigation..
Instead, he famously pleaded guilty to comparatively minor charges in 2008 under the U.S. Attorney at the time, Alex Acosta, who later became Trump’s Labor Secretary in his first term. Acosta subsequently resigned following scrutiny over the non-prosecution agreement in 2008.
It is not clear when the grand jury transcripts will be released or exactly how much new information will be disclosed.
The Epstein Files Transparency Act, signed into law on November 19, gives the government 30 days to prepare and release all relevant records.
Those following the case can expect an update on the release of any remaining files by December 19.

Gavin Newsom’s Twisted ‘Crotch Clench’ Sparks Concern, Baffles Experts
There’s something wrong with Gavin Newsom. Americans recoiled in horror, then squinted in fascination at the images of Newsom’s appearance at the New York Times Dealbook Summit. There he was, the greaseball California governor, sitting in a chair with his legs crossed impossibly tight, protruding akimbo at improbable angles like a human swastika, a wanton display of “testicle-crushing” contortion. It was the opposite of manspreading, the inverse of kink-splaying, yet Newsom’s gnarled pose, his tangled appendages—like a steel-beamed hedgehog standing guard at Omaha Beach—still managed to intrude upon the public space in a way that many found unsettling.
