Juan Callejas
An interview of Juan Callejas by Christopher Mann
​August 3, 2022
​For decades, abortion rights supporters have charged pro-lifers with being more pro-pregnancy than pro-life, and in the wake of the fall of Roe versus Wade this past June, this argument has been elevated to a shrill. Some on the right have responded with ample evidence of both word and deed to the contrary, with plenty of receipts to make the point that pro-lifers annually invest much time and treasure in being both pro-life before and after birth. 

Still, is there a kernel of truth in the critique? Is the pro-life movement as pro-life as it can possibly be? Can we receive a critique without feeling vulnerable to a canard?  

Juan Callejas is a Guatemalan businessman and astute student of culture. Juan and Chris met this summer in Grand Rapids, Michigan, at a colloquium sponsored by the Acton Institute, a catholic-protestant Christian think tank studying how free market economics impacts human liberty. Juan was raised and educated in Guatemala and earned an MBA from Regent University in Virginia Beach, Virginia. He identifies as an evangelical Christian and offers a unique perspective as a person who was raised in Guatemala and frequently speaks and consults to clients in the United States. In Guatemala, abortion was illegal for all reasons until 1973, when life of the mother was added as an exception. In 1985, the country’s constitution was rewritten to more permanently codify the pro-life position.
​
Today, Juan talks about how a country can become more pro-life, and how that starts with the church.

Indiana right to LIfe: Indiana SB1 Will outlaw abortion, but not enforce it
Picture
Public Statement by Indiana Right to Life on Senate Bill 1 on July 24, 2022
​(Edited by IBFL for space): 
"SB 1 is a weak and troubling bill.... The bill fails...to provide any meaningful enforcement provisions. This bill....lacks any teeth to actually reduce abortions in Indiana by holding those who perform abortions or would intentionally skirt the law accountable with criminal consequences." More.
Indiana Senate Bill 1 passes through committee
Picture
By Mary Muncy for World Magazine, July 27, 2022.
​"Thousands of people protested in Indianapolis on Tuesday as a special committee voted to protect babies in all cases except to save the life of the mother or in the case of rape or incest. The committee added a provision to the proposed bill that allows doctors to be prosecuted for performing an abortion. The committee voted 7-5 in favor of the bill, and it will be debated in the full Senate on Thursday." Full story. 
Gallup: abortion figuring unusually high in america's thinking in November elections
Picture
By Lydia Saad and Megan Brenan for Gallup. July 8, 2022
​WASHINGTON, D.C. -- A recent Gallup poll finds Americans giving more thought to November's elections for Congress than usual at this stage of the campaign and expressing above-average enthusiasm about voting. They are also placing unusually high importance on certain issues -- including the economy, gun policy and abortion -- in determining their vote for Congress. More.
World population to reach 8 billion, UN says​
Picture
By Josh Schumacher for World Magazine. July 12, 2022.
Nov. 15 is the day the United Nations Population Division report has pegged for the world’s population to cross the 8 billion mark. An expert said the day was a rough estimate and could be off by as much as a year. In a report released Monday — July 11 is World Population Day — the Population Division also said that the population growth rate dropped by 1 percent in 2020 for the first time since 1950. More. 
replenishment rate realism: China’s population will shrink sooner than expected

By Nicholas Gordan. July 25, 2022. 
​China’s population will start shrinking sooner than expected, threatening its economy years ahead of schedule. ​The country’s long-expected demographic decline is coming faster than anticipated, meaning a threat to its economic model is arriving years ahead of schedule. On Thursday, Yang Wenzhuang, the head of population for China’s National Health Commission, told a conference that the country’s population would start to shrink before 2025, according to state-run news outlet Global Times. Earlier forecasts expected the decline to begin in 2027. More.
Elon Musk Has a Solution to Solve a Global Crisis
Picture
By Luc Olinga. July 7, 2022 for TheStreet.

Tesla's billionaire CEO worries about a declining world population as he sets out to conquer Mars. ​Elon Musk keeps his word. 

The CEO of Tesla (TSLA) - Get Tesla Inc. Report, who has become one of the world's most influential voices, has been warning about what he considers the most serious global threat: the decline of the world population and mainly in rich countries. More. 

IBFL Editor's Note to Elon Musk: IBFL cracker-jack actuarial department agrees. Here's an idea: 
Picture
The IBFL Actuarial Department ran the numbers on this (you know, "Hey Siri, calculate 25 million times two"). ​Our experts predict this year, like every year, 50,000,000 fewer car makers, tunnel diggers, Mars commuters, and Wi-Fi techs to make your stuff, buy your stuff, pay taxes, and make the next generation of stuff makers, stuff buyers, taxpayers, and baby makers.

​Another killer year for abortionists.
​Scientist Slams University for Implanting Aborted Babies’ Scalps Into Mice
Picture
By Micaiah Bilger for LifeNews.com, Feb 9, 2022
A prominent scientist criticized the University of Pittsburgh this week for “trafficking body parts” from aborted babies for gristly experiments, including one in which babies’ scalps were implanted onto rodents to study the human immune system.

The university has been defending its research with aborted baby body parts, pointing to a recent investigation that found it is “fully compliant with applicable laws.”

But Dr. David Prentice, the vice president of the Charlotte Lozier Institute and a medical researcher, said the investigation, which was commissioned by the university, was too narrow. What’s more, he said there is no need to use unethically obtained tissue from aborted babies in scientific research.

Jason Shanks, President of Our Sunday Visitor Institute in Huntington, Indiana
Picture
Today our guest is Jason Shank, who serves as president of the Our Sunday Visitor Institute in Huntington, a small community in north central Indiana. Founded in Our Sunday Visitor is an organization that evades easy description. It’s a publishing house, university, consulting group, retail giant, grants foundation, and think tank all under one roof. The part that seems to most resemble a think tank is the Our Sunday Visitor Institute, and Jason has headed that department since 2020 when he moved his wife and family of five to northeast Indiana. Chris Mann recorded this conversation with Jason at a local restaurant, so you will have to forgive the sounds of clanging dishes and Tom Petty playing in the background, but pay attention to what Jason is getting at regarding his hope for a pro-life movement in the wake of the fall of Roe versus Wade just a month ago, which returned abortion regulation back to the fifty states. Jason hopes that the pro-life movement won’t waste time spiking the football and gloating about this legal win, but instead move into a renewed zeal for high care of our vulnerable neighbors. If you feel a bit uncomfortable by the end of this conversation about who he might be talking about, well, that’s probably his point. Jason is calling the pro-life movement to consider how to exceed some of the generous pro-family policies ironically championed among the most pro-abortion businesses and institutions like Microsoft, Amazon, Apple and more. Jason’s thinking is unconventional, but what else would you expect from the head of a think tank?

Cathie Humbarger
Today our guest is Cathie Humbarger, a veteran pro-life leader in Fort Wayne, Indiana. She is the founder of Reprotection, a pro-life organization that helps state-level law enforcement properly enforce abortion regulations which can go unmonitored or ignored by abortion-friendly politicians and state agencies. Learn more at www.Reprotection.org. In the Hoosier state, Cathie is a unique player in the pro-life cause because she actively serves in both the ministry side of serving moms, dads, and babies, and she also crosses swords with politicians. Usually, activists gravitate toward either the hard work of mercy, patience, and service to women facing abortion decisions, or the hard work of political and legal battles.
​
But Cathie Humbarger does both and therefore offers a unique perspective on what we may face as a pro-life movement in the wake of the fall of Roe versus Wade, the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that created a right to legal abortion on demand. The ruling was overturned last week, and now returns the question of legality to the states. An estimated 26 states will likely have pro-life laws on the books that will protect all or most babies from conception until natural death, while the balance of the 24 states will protect legal abortion to varying degrees.

Vince DiCaro is a communications veteran who helped grow the profile of the National Fatherhood Initiative into a nationally recognized movement helping men return to their roles as husbands, fathers, and providers to their homes. 

Today, he is at CareNet to spearhead something similar, where men "return" to the both the birth and raising decisions for his child--a decision too often left for a scared woman to face alone. In March, CareNet sponsored the Called and Missioned conference to inspire men to lead their churches to form and support pro-life ministries at the local level. ​
