Earlier this week, Operation Rescue and Life Legal Defense Foundation made national news after finally obtaining the unredacted autopsy report for Lexi Arguello, a young girl who died from a catastrophic complication after a late-term abortion at Planned Parenthood in Fort Collins, Colorado. However, Lexi is not the only woman that has fallen victim to Colorado abortion clinics, which are no longer required to be licensed or inspected. Radical abortion policies within the state have resulted in countless injuries, and the intentional lack of oversight coupled with overly redacted public records by city officials means more women may have died — while…

Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito often find themselves on the same side of cases at the U.S. Supreme Court. But what generally goes unnoticed is how the two justices’ similar yet differing approaches to the law come together to advance better constitutional interpretation for the country. This dynamic was on full display in the court’s Thursday decision in Hamm v. Smith. The case centered around an Alabama man seeking to overturn his capital punishment sentence on the argument that he is intellectually disabled and therefore can’t be executed under the Eighth and 14th Amendments.
