The abortion industry’s extremism rarely shocks me, or anyone else entrenched in the pro-life movement, anymore. After all, it’s the business of killing innocent human beings in the womb for profit. Thankfully, the 2024 election between former Vice President Kamala Harris and President Donald Trump brought abortion extremism, preborn death up to nine months gestation, to the forefront of Americans’ minds, but also the unethical business practice of in vitro fertilization (IVF). And, it seems the public is starting to catch on to the ethical issues of the IVF industry and how it’s not as “pro-life” as some have been...

An Ohio judge has blocked a common sense law that stopped Planned Parenthood from dumping the bodies of aborted babies in landfills. The Unborn Child Dignity Act was first introduced in 2016, following an investigation by then Attorney General Mike DeWine into Planned Parenthood’s surgical abortion facility practices in Ohio. The investigation found that Planned Parenthood’s Ohio locations had been dumping the bodies of aborted babies in landfill Because the Ohio Revised Code did not define “humane” disposal, the state of Ohio was unable to take legal action. In 2020, DeWine, as Ohio’s governor, signed into law a new pro-life...

A teacher at the center of a longstanding dispute over recognizing a student's transgender pronoun has been jailed for a third time for violating a court order to keep him away from a school. Christian evangelist Enoch Burke,... has been objecting to using the student's preferred pronouns and new name, arguing that using their preferred pronoun violates his religious rights. Following his suspension, he continued to show up to the school in an attempt to teach lessons, resulting in a court injunction that barred him from the school grounds. He has twice previously been incarcerated at Mountjoy Prison...for breaching the...

Kamala Harris has once again demonstrated that she lacks any sense of rationality and decency. In a tweet that defies logic, she celebrates “LGBTQI+ children” with a photo of her embracing a man—cross-dressed like a sex worker—at a “pride” event. This isn’t about inclusion—it’s a horrific display of moral bankruptcy. Imagine the Vice President of the United States endorsing such grotesque behavior, encouraging children to adopt lifestyles suited for adult strip clubs rather than becoming citizens who contribute to society. This isn’t progress—it’s madness. Harris and her cronies exemplify a dangerous trend where leaders push radical ideologies on our youth,...

The petition will now be sent to the annual conferences for possible ratification.The amendment will need to gain at least two-thirds support from the annual conference clergy and lay voters to be added to the UMC constitution, reports UM News.>At present, the UMC Book of Discipline, the...

Together with my good friend and occasional courtroom adversary David Boies, I am attempting to persuade a federal court to invalidate California's Proposition 8—the voter-approved measure that overturned California's constitutional right to marry a person of the same sex.... Many of my fellow conservatives have an almost knee-jerk hostility toward gay marriage. This does not make sense, because same-sex unions promote the values conservatives prize. Marriage is one of the basic building blocks of our neighborhoods and our nation. At its best, it is a stable bond between two individuals who work to create a loving household and a social...

[Catholic Caucus] BREAKING: Vatican official says St. Peter’s Basilica will bless homosexual ‘couples’VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) – Clergy at St. Peter’s Basilica will bless same-sex couples.According to a report in the Italian newspaper Il Messaggero today, the archpriest of Rome’s most famous church, Cardinal Mauro Gambetti, has stated that blessings of homosexual couples could happen there.“To show the world the maternal face of the Church and along the lines of what Pope Francis has asked for,” Gambetti reportedly said.However, he added that as yet nobody has asked the canons of the basilica for such a blessing.“It doesn’t seem to me that...

Yesterday, we reported that Joel Rainey, a prominent and outspoken Southern Baptist pastor argued on social media that Obergefell, the Supreme Court decision that falsely found that same-sex “marriage” was protected by the Constitution, should not be overturned and that Christians shouldn’t support it. Arguing that homosexuals in these civil unions are in “marriage relationships,” he stated that his opposition to overturning “gay marriage” (something that doesn’t exist), was basically rooted in the desire to not have to deal with the aftermath of unholy unions being “suddenly invalidated.” Of course, his position is completely unbiblical and disqualifying as a pastor...

things at the CCHD have gone beyond mere Marxist materialism into fully occult directions, Lepanto reports. Not only does CCHD fund groups that flagrantly violate the church’s pro-life and other moral teachings. It also supports neo-pagan groups engaged in witchcraft. Lepanto’s latest report:A few weeks ago, the Lepanto Institute proved that a recent grantee called CUSH collected homosexual pornography with the intent to provide it to children. Then, the Lepanto Institute proved that the CCHD provided grants to Unchained, a pro-abortion, pro-LGBT organization with intimate ties to Marxist entities.

People can use the bible to justify any position they want when they take words out of context, or read into the text what is not there. On April 22, 2014, a new attack on the reliability and perspicuity of Scripture was released. “God and the Gay Christian” was a book that sought to teach readers that the Bible condones living a monogamous homosexual lifestyle. That attack continues today in the church. The author was Matthew Vines, openly homosexual man and a professing Christian. Being an openly practicing homosexual and claiming to be a Christian often means the person has...

Monday, October 23, to Sunday, October 29, marks PrEP Aware Week 2023, a public health campaign to boost awareness of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to prevent HIV. “The theme for PrEP Aware Week 2023 is ‘PrEP is for Every Body,’ which references two social movements: sex positivity acknowledging that all consensual sexual activities are fundamentally healthy; and body positivity, celebrating all bodies, regardless of size, shape, skin tone, gender, and physical abilities,” explain the campaign’s organizers on PrEP Aware’s website PrEPforSex.org.

There are a number of acts referred to as “abominations” in Scripture. These acts are called abominations because they are extremely serious sins. Among the abominations mentioned in Scripture are acts such as child sacrifice, sexual acts with animals, and homosexual acts (Lev. 18:20–30; 20:13), idolatry (Deut. 12:29–31; 13:13–14), divination, sorcery, and necromancy (Deut. 18:9–14). Many conservative Christians are happy to acknowledge that these acts are serious sins. There is one sin, however, that many professing Christians commit on a regular basis without recognizing that it too is an abomination.

The National Cathedral in Washington DC has decided that they too want to join in on the re-writing and recasting of history in response to the 2020 George Floyd Summer of Love. The stained glass windows in the National Cathedral show different scenes from throughout American history, which I'll admit is bizarre for a "church" but pretty normal for a national monument in DC. Four of the stained glass windows previously featured depictions of two Southern Civil War generals, Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson: A tribute to the South and a symbol of national healing and forgiveness after the...

“As a psychology student in the early 80s I attended a lecture by John Money. He openly bragged about his “success” at gender reassignment and talked extensively about these twins. After the lecture we went to dinner at a local restaurant where I sat directly across from John Money and we had a conversation during which he constantly alluded to sexual acts, genitalia, odd attractions, and fetishes. It made me very uncomfortable as a young student which he seemed to enjoy. I remember it to this day. I am 62 years old. In my opinion this man was truly evil.”...

The attack is one of over 60 similar attacks against pro-life pregnancy centers since the Dobbs leak last May.BOWLING GREEN, Ohio (LifeSiteNews) — An Ohio pro-life pregnancy center was vandalized early Saturday morning with graffiti reading “Jane’s Revenge” and “abort God.”Other graffiti left by vandals in the attack against HerChoice pregnancy center, also called the Bowling Green Pregnancy Center (BGPC), include messages reading “liars,” “fake clinic,” and “fund abortion.” While the words “Jane’s Revenge” were scrawled onto the BGPC building, no one associated with the radical pro-abortion organization has taken responsibility for the attack, WTOL reported. The graffiti was cleaned...
