UNFPA Broke Its Mandate. It's Promoting Abortion. Does Anyone Care?

Mattea — Fri, 22 May 2026 19:15:31 GMT

On May 7, 2026, senior representatives from the World Health Organization (WHO), UNICEF, UNFPA, and the World Bank’s Special Programme of Human Reproduction met at WHO headquarters in Geneva for a “high-level hybrid webinar” titled “Evidence-informed abortion policy decisions: Launch of two WHO resources.”

World Health Organization Wants Abortion Classified As A "Human Right." But, We Won't Let Them.

Mattea — Mon, 11 May 2026 17:13:02 GMT

On May 7, 2026, the usual coalition of international bureaucrats; WHO, UNICEF, UNFPA, and the World Bank’s Special Program on Human Reproduction, all gathered at WHO headquarters in Geneva for what they called a “high-level hybrid webinar.”

The official title was anodyne enough: “Evidence-informed abortion policy decisions: Launch of two WHO resources.”

We Still Want Marriage. We Just Forgot Why It Matters.

Mattea — Mon, 04 May 2026 11:31:07 GMT

Here’s something that should give us both hope and pause: the majority of young adults in America still want to get married!

According to new research from Barna Group’s The State of Today’s Family report, 78 percent of unmarried Gen Z adults say they want to marry someday whilst 81 percent say they value marriage.

These aren’t the numbers of a generatio…

250 Years: The Age Empires Die, But Not America

Mattea — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 16:40:36 GMT

In 1976, a decorated British general named Sir John Bagot Glubb sat down and did something no historian before him had done; he compared a series of ancient and modern empires and concluded that their average lifespan was ten generations, about 250 years, and that, despite great geographic, technological, religious, and cultural differences, all empires…

Biden's DOJ Let Outside Political Groups Pick Who Got Prosecuted. We Have the Receipts.

Mattea — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 13:16:44 GMT

Let’s start with a number: 700,000.

That’s how many internal records the Justice Department reviewed to produce the 800 report released by the DOJ’s Weaponization Working Group yesterday, and what they found should make every American, regardless of where you stand on abortion, deeply uncomfortable.

This isn’t really a story about abortion, it’s actually …

Alberta Pushes Back: New Law Would Protect Children from Assisted Suicide

Mattea — Tue, 14 Apr 2026 18:27:19 GMT

Alberta is drawing a line.

Alberta’s Premier Danielle Smith has introduced landmark legislation that would significantly narrow the circumstances under which residents can access Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) whilst taking direct aim at two of the most contested expansions of the federal assisted suicide regime: access for children and for individua…

They Renamed Mother's Day "You Day" And Called It Progress

Mattea — Fri, 10 Apr 2026 21:15:26 GMT

What kind of world are we creating when the word “Mother” becomes a slur and “Father” a microaggression? What kind of world will our children inherit when “Mother’s Day” is renamed “You Day” and all for the sake of “inclusion?”

I’m confident we don’t want to know such a world, and yet, this is the society the Netherlands wants to create.

Under the guise o…

We Took Over CSW — And All We Did Was Tell the Truth

Mattea — Tue, 31 Mar 2026 14:53:42 GMT

I just returned from New York City, where I attended the United Nations’ Commission on the Status of Women (CSW), arguably the world’s largest gathering convened in the name of “women’s rights.”

But this year, there was something unmistakably, powerfully different.

Over the many years I’ve attended CSW and engaged with the broader UN system, the pattern h…

Children Aren't "Sex Workers": How a UN Body Betrayed Its Own Mandate

Mattea — Tue, 17 Mar 2026 14:25:39 GMT

In February 2026, the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women — the body known as CEDAW — published what should have been a routine review of women’s rights conditions in the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

What it published instead was a document that human rights advocates, child protection experts, and even a fellow UN official hav…

The UN's Quiet Rewrite of Children's Rights — And How It Was Stopped...For Now

Mattea — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 18:44:22 GMT

A quiet process inside a UN committee nearly changed the meaning of “children’s rights” forever, and most people never heard about it.

The UN Committee on the Rights of the Child has become the very threat it was created to prevent: an institution utilizing its bureaucratic cover to strip parents of the rights they have in their children’s lives whilst e…

Why the Death Penalty is Pro-Life

Mattea — Fri, 27 Feb 2026 15:58:33 GMT

The death penalty, when justly delivered, is profoundly pro-life, wrote Dallas Pastor Josh Howerton this week on X in response to Kristin Hawkins, a pro-life activist and president of Students for Life who is advocating that to be pro-life, one must reject capital punishment.

Whilst Hawkins and I are both pro-life advocates and I value the incredible wor…

As a Pro-Life Woman, I Stand With ICE

Mattea — Wed, 28 Jan 2026 19:15:28 GMT

The left is playing a dangerous game, one of victimhood hierarchies which stack identities like cards in a house built on sand, thus my attempt to trigger the masses with my bold declaration of who I am right from the start.

I am a woman, unapologetically pro-life, and a follower of Christ.

Leftists see these as mere titles but they’re the foundation of t…

UK Imports Misogyny Whilst Demonizing Masculinity, Why?

Mattea — Wed, 21 Jan 2026 16:22:51 GMT

“Like any mother of a teenage boy, I worry about toxic masculinity. But treating boys as porn-addled “predators in waiting” is not the answer” writes Camilla Tominey in the Telegraph.

The UK government is at it again… but this time they aren’t seeking to censor individuals for posting “wrong think” or jailing women for silently praying in their heads (al…

Mattea — Wed, 14 Jan 2026 23:10:21 GMT

In a heated Senate hearing today, Missouri Republican Senator Josh Hawley took a firm stand against the erosion of basic scientific facts in favor of progressive ideology.

Trump Exits 66 Globalist Organizations!

Mattea — Mon, 12 Jan 2026 20:26:38 GMT

American sovereignty is seeing a real revival, which is only being furthered by way of President Trump’s withdrawal of the United States’ from 66 international organizations deemed “non-essential to core American interests.”

This sweeping decision, executed with the precision and flair that have defined Trump’s second term, has shifted the nation’s focus…

No, HuffPost, Encouraging American Births Is a Blessing Not a Threat

Mattea — Tue, 30 Dec 2025 22:43:35 GMT

In an era where the sanctity of life and the strength of the family are under constant assault from globalist agendas and leftist ideologies in the halls of government, it’s no surprise that outlets like HuffPost are quick to demonize any leader who dares to prioritize the well-being of American families.

Thankfully, President Donald Trump couldn’t care …

Victory for Parental Rights: California's School Gender Secrecy Policies Blocked

Mattea — Wed, 24 Dec 2025 16:57:47 GMT

It’s official, California’s schools are now permanently prohibited from secretly raising children as the other sex. In other words, school deception is banned!

Every single school district now has to stop transitioning kids. Parents, not teachers, have the natural and constitutional rights to raise their kids and this truth has been formally recognized i…

VICTORY: Trump Admin To Label State-Funded Abortions A 'Human Rights Violation'

Mattea — Mon, 15 Dec 2025 16:58:53 GMT

Beginning next year, the annual U.S. human rights reports on foreign governments will, for the first time, explicitly criticize state-funded abortion, transgender medical procedures on minors, and restrictions on freedom of speech as human rights violations.

For those “conservatives” who campaigned against President Trump because he wasn’t “pro-life” eno…

A New UN Celebration: Defend Dictators Day

Mattea — Wed, 10 Dec 2025 19:14:58 GMT

You never really know what exactly to expect with the United Nations - usually, you can guarantee that there will be some level of corruption or perversity, and yesterday, the UN sunk to another level of insanity, choosing to host a celebration of dictatorships, tyrants and human rights abusing regimes.

Yesterday’s, inaugural “International Day against U…
