Conservatives have many reasons to be thankful after our nation’s elections. Now that Republicans will control the House, Senate, and White House, American families look forward to our leaders working to create a stronger economy with lower gas, food, and housing prices. We anticipate more secure borders, a crackdown on crime, and peace through strength on the world stage. We’re also eager to see an end to wokeism, boys in girls’ sports, gender mutilation of kids, and a return to the protection of religious freedom and parental rights.
Yet there is one significant result that continues to puzzle and dishearten many of us: voters in seven out of 10 states decided to add the “right to abortion” to their state constitutions. Even in deep red states such as Montana where Trump won by 20 points and Missouri by 18 points, voters approved CI-128 (the Right to Abortion Initiative) and Amendment 3 (the Right to Reproductive Freedom Initiative).
Sadly, most of the votes for the initiatives weren’t even close. They passed with 57% to 75% of the vote. (Only Missouri’s Amendment 3 passed with a narrow margin, receiving 51.6% of the votes.) Was the wording of the initiatives confusing? In most cases, they were not. The titles were straightforward, including “right to abortion” or “right to reproductive freedom.” (One exception is New York’s Proposal 1, the “Amendment to Protect Against Unequal Treatment.”)
The reality is that Americans may not be as pro-life as we thought they were. There are a significant number of people who are otherwise politically conservative who are nonetheless “pro-choice” — they want the option to “end a pregnancy” that is unplanned through the first trimester.
This is why we need to find good ways to witness the pro-life message even to conservatives. As Family Research Council’s Director of the Center for Human Dignity Mary Szoch previously told TWS, we need to “have the tough conversations with our neighbors and elected officials. We must demonstrate the beautiful gift of every baby — not just the ones who are planned or ‘wanted.’ We must work to change — not just policies — but hearts and minds. This begins with leading people to Christ and building trust in God’s plan for the future.” […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
