I am down in D.C. this week with five Massachusetts pastors, taking part in the Family Research Council’s Watchmen on the Wall Conference. We’re learning how churches can partner with groups like MFI to strategically influence the public square for the common good. Sometimes pastors are uncomfortable filling their role of speaking God’s truth into the halls […]
Just as Congress is working to defund Planned Parenthood at the national level, we’re working hard to stop them at the local level – specifically, your neighborhood school. This morning, several parents and I went to the State House to testify against the Sex Ed Mandate. These two identical bills would take control over what […]
CONTACT: Andrew Beckwith | andrew@mafamily.org | 781.569.0400 Sex Education Mandate Gets Holy Week Hearing on Beacon Hill Thursday, April 13, 2017 BOSTON – The legislative Joint Committee on Education heard testimony today on two identical bills that are stirring up quite a bit of controversy amongst parents.

BOSTON – Two hundred pro-life advocates came to Beacon Hill today and sought answers from Governor Baker about his recent announcement to increase state tax dollars to Planned Parenthood, the nation’s leading abortion provider. With 270 federally qualified health centers in Massachusetts that provide access to health care for women, there is no need for the government to fund […]
I have to admit, the “counterprotesters” at Saturday’s Defund Planned Parenthood rally in Boston were rather irritating, with their pink knit hats and loud snarky chants. Apparently, I wasn’t the only one who thought so, since the police made them stop using their bull-horn. (The NewBostonPost described it as “Hymns vs. Obscenities.”) Unfortunately, that then meant […]
“Radical feminists” typically differ from pro-family advocates on many issues. So, why are the Women’s Liberation Front (WoLF), a self-described radical feminist group, and the Family Policy Alliance (FPA), MFI’s national public policy affiliate, teaming up? Because they both recognize that preserving women’s safety in private spaces is critically important (as well as common sense). This week, […]
Less than two years ago, Planned Parenthood’s for-profit baby-selling schemes were revealed in a shocking series of videos released by the Center for Medical Progress. As a result, Americans from across the country are decrying Planned Parenthood and calling for its defunding. On Saturday, February 11, pro-life advocates nationwide will speak out against the abortion giant. Join […]
At some point in the next 30 days, most of us will be filing our taxes. Have you ever wondered where your money actually goes after the Commonwealth of MA takes its share? Last year, $2,500,000.00 went to Planned Parenthood. You can track every penny of it, and see what else your tax dollars are […]
If you have not yet heard, I want to make you aware of Planned Parenthood’s newest attempt at silencing pro-life voices. A Texas grand jury, motivated by politics, indicted David Daleiden as well as another pro-life activist, Sandra Merritt, on counts of tampering with a governmental record and buying human tissue. They face a penalty of up […]
