You spoke out. And the federal government listened. A powerful victory in Montana, where the Forest Service has decided to keep in place a war memorial – a statue of Jesus – that’s been on a mountain for more than half a century in Montana. The Forest Service issued its decision in the matter, renewing a…

It is a case that is incredibly important. Standing up for crisis pregnancy centers and the pro-life work they do in New York City.
