| Labrador Letter October 27, 2025 Dear Friends, Last week, my office filed a motion asking a federal court to dismiss a lawsuit challenging Idaho’s Defense of Life Act. The plaintiff claims that Idaho’s pro life laws are unconstitutional and prevent doctors from providing necessary emergency medical care. However, the evidence tells a remarkably different story. The physician bringing this challenge, Dr. Stacy Seyb, admitted under oath that he arranged emergency flights to send pregnant patients out of state during emergency situations without first determining what Idaho law actually allowed him to do. He never read the statute itself, nor did he review the Idaho Supreme Court’s 2023 decision clarifying what doctors are allowed to do in such circumstances. He also neither received nor requested training from St. Luke’s Health System regarding what abortion procedures are lawful under Idaho’s statutes. In short, Dr. Seyb failed to understand Idaho law and neglected to educate himself on his professional duties and responsibilities before sending patients out of state. Patients suffered from his lack of understanding, not because of our laws. Idaho’s Defense of Life Act is clear. Physicians can perform abortions when they believe, in their good faith medical judgment, an abortion is necessary to prevent the death of the mother. Doctors don’t need to wait until death is certain. They don’t need to believe death is imminent. And the Idaho Supreme Court further clarified this in their 2023 decision upholding Idaho’s law. For years, Idaho has faced unfair attacks in the media, with irresponsible claims that our pro-life laws force doctors to deny women lifesaving care. These claims have been repeated loudly and often. But the facts now show that Dr. Seyb sent patients out of state, not because Idaho law required it, but because he chose not to educate himself on what the Idaho law allows doctors to do in emergency situations. And even more troubling, rather than training their physicians on when abortions are permitted in Idaho, St. Luke’s left their own doctors in the dark. Idaho’s laws were crafted with compassion, clarity, and support for both mothers and their unborn children. Our laws work in harmony to protect life while allowing physicians to make good faith medical decisions. Physicians have broad clinical judgment under Idaho law. They always have. But that judgment can only be exercised if they take the time to understand what the law permits. As your Attorney General, I will always fight to defend Idaho’s laws protecting mothers and their unborn children. Through our laws, Idaho has chosen life. And I will continue to ensure that our laws are accurately understood and vigorously defended against wrongful attacks.

Labrador Exposes Fraud of Medical Lawsuits
Charlie Kirk’s Last Published Words
“There is nothing new under the sun,” Solomon wrote in the Book of Ecclesiastes. What is experienced today has been experienced before. What has happened in the past will happen again. That’s good to know. Because in today’s America, the Christian faithful are faced with a terrifying and broad array of dangers and threats. It is good to know that there’s nothing unique about these evils. Every one of them has a precedent. We are menaced not by new false gods, but by the return of demons from long ago.
To those raised in a Christian world, it’s easy to take its moral innovations for granted. Even atheists benefit from living in the world that Christians made. And the surest sign that we are living in an evil modern age is that the forces of modernity are fanatically fighting to restore the moral order that existed prior to Christianity: In other words, the moral order of the Pagans. In the Pagan world, the individual human life was of no importance. Therefore abortion, infanticide, human sacrifice, and more were just a part of life. Under Paganism, there was no notion that humans had equal innate worth, so one tribe enslaved another, or rulers enslaved their subjects, all with impunity.
I’ve been friends with Lucas for some time now. I’ve come to know him as a speaker, pastor, and partner at Turning Point USA Faith. But above all, I know him as a fearless warrior for Christ. Lucas is a man built to stand for the truth in a time of great apostasy. And the era we live in is a time of apostasy that would make the Old Testament prophets shudder.
The revival of those Old Testament times is exactly what this book, Pagan Threat: Confronting America’s Godless Uprising, confronts. Casual Christians like to imagine we have already won a permanent victory over the worshipers of Moloch, Baal, and Jupiter, but those gods are now back with a vengeance bearing new names like “progressivism,” “tolerance,” and “social justice.”
This new Paganism says a lot about “freedom,” but just like the old Pagans, its ultimate agenda is domination and moral anarchy. Christians seduced by its superficial words will find themselves betrayed—or making an alliance with the devil.
Thankfully, people like Lucas have realized the danger and are fighting back. They are fighting back with a true vision of Christianity—one that isn’t always polite and isn’t always “nice,” but is always on fire for the Lord and His truth. This book will not always be comfortable to read. It’s not pleasant to realize that our faith and our way of life are in danger. Denial is always more pleasant in the moment. But if you are willing to open its pages with a heart tuned to the Holy Spirit, it will also equip you and embolden you to see clearly, speak truthfully, and stand firmly in the face of darkness. Don’t just read this book—internalize what it has to say. Then, share its message with your Christian friends, before they are seduced by Paganism themselves.
We have a faith and a country to save.
