By Jonathon Van Maren May 18, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) — As Ireland’s pro-life movement works frenetically to get their supporters out to the polls on May 25 for the referendum on the Eighth Amendment, the Save the 8th Campaign and dozens of pro-life organizations are putting boots on the ground all day, every day. Many have quit their…
By Jonathon Van Maren After gay marriage was legalized in the US, one prominent LGBT activist was asked what the next step for the movement was. His answer was succinct: “Punish the wicked.” By the “wicked,” of course, he meant anyone who dissented from the agenda of the LGBT movement—and that included entire states. North…
By Jonathon Van Maren Nothing infuriates abortion activists more than the truth—especially when that truth is being presented to a public that they need to accept their deceitful rhetoric, or at least to remain mired in apathy. In Canada, even photos of babies in the womb have been referred to as “graphic images of fetuses”…
By Jonathon Van Maren So, our internationally embarrassing prime minister headed over to New York University this week, and this time his costume of choice was as a “graduate.” He was to receive an honorary law degree—which he could really use, since he has a bad habit of not completing the degrees he actually starts—and…
By Jonathon Van Maren Trans activists—like many of their friends in the LGBT movement—have a very particular strategy. First, they claim that what they are demanding of society “won’t impact anyone else.” Then, they prove that the opposite is the case—and that they are more than willing to force everyone else in society to do…
By Jonathon Van Maren I’ve written many times that I believe the trans activists have been pushing too far, too fast, and that rather than forcing society to accept their fundamental premise that gender is fluid, they are instead beginning to trigger a backlash. Our culture was more or less fine with recognizing gay marriage…
By Jonathon Van Maren May 15, 2018 Our second day on the Vote No Roadshow was very encouraging. Leaving the activity centre we were staying at in the bus at 8:15 AM, we headed from town to town through the Westmeath-Longford area, beginning in the tiny town—“It’s a village,” one lady walking past corrected with…
By Jonathon Van Maren May 14, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – Late last week, I flew with three of my colleagues (one of whom is my wife) to Ireland to work with the Save the 8th Campaign for the last two weeks before the referendum on abortion on May 25, when the Irish people will vote on…
By Jonathon Van Maren My first update from Ireland can be read here. For a history buff, just driving through the Irish countryside is a surreal experience. There are falling-down ruins everywhere—old stone outbuildings, solitary slumping castle walls, and ancient houses with oak trees rising victoriously from within, roofed with nothing but sky. We pulled…
By Jonathon Van Maren We touched down in the Dublin Airport early Saturday morning—my wife, daughter Charlotte, and colleagues Nick and Maaike Rosendal, ready for two weeks of pro-life activism with the Save the Eighth Campaign. Abortion activists have been attempting to roll back Ireland’s Eighth Amendment, which includes specific protections for pre-born babies in…
