For all practical purposes the results of the 2026 mid-term election are now in our rearview mirror.  There are still some contested races and also unanswered discrepancies in certain areas, but as it relates to the direction our country is choosing to go, that’s basically been determined.

What’s so baffling is how ready and anxious our nation is to attack and kill the most vulnerable among us–the pre-born babies.  These infants are fully human but are unable to protect themselves from those targeting them for death.

Now if you saw a child sleeping in a crib and some person came in wielding a knife, you would do all you could to disarm the intruder and protect that little one.  Yet, if you move that child from a baby crib to an even more loving environment, the mother’s womb, why is our culture so willing to allow similar instruments of destruction to take the life of the baby?

You may have heard those who say, “Well, I vote for a particular party because they care about the little guy.”  What about the little guy in the womb.  Who’s looking out for him?

With a recap of the election, what this means to the matter of life, as well as comments on where we go from here, Crosstalk welcomed back Victor Nieves, president of the Life Issues Institute.  The institute was founded in 1991 to serve the educational needs of the pro-life movement.  

Victor developed a passion for life while working in state House and Senate campaigns in Missouri.  That advocacy for life has exponentially grown.  He has a degree in political science with a dual focus on American government and constitutional law.  He’s the speaker on the weekly pro-life program, Life Defenders.
