Devaluing Life To Gain Votes?: Victorian Premier Promises Free Abortions If Re-Elected

Anybody who understands the social pulse of Australia knows that the State of Victoria is the most socially progressive of Australia’s states and territories. Although many Victorians see that as positive, when it means the introduction of laws that directly oppose God’s principles governing life, believers see it as wicked. In a 15 October 2026 X post, Mr Carroll succinctly stated: “Abortion is healthcare. Your bank account and your postcode shouldn’t be a barrier. We’ll fix that.” To avoid appearing one-sided in my criticism of Labor policies, I will point out that the opposition party (who have traditionally been fiscally and socially conservative) have indicated they will also pledge free abortions, much to the disappointment of supporters who have traditionally turned to them in order to act as a counterweight to the anti-God agenda of the Labor Party.

After Forcing Students to Hide Their Bibles In ‘Sealed Envelopes,’ Lawsuit Forces School District To Publicly Apologize, Get Religious Liberty Training

A Washington school district has agreed to stop imposing a policy that forced students to hide their Bibles in sealed envelopes. The district must also stop barring a Christian nonprofit from participating in certain school fairs. LifeWise Academy, a nonprofit which offers public school students voluntary Bible education during school hours, challenged the policies in a lawsuit with the help of First Liberty Institute. As part of the settlement, Everett School District must publicly apologize and pay $275,000 in attorney fees, as well as provide religious liberty training for school board members.

‘Denied Solely’ Because ‘It Was Christian Material’: Homeschool Mom Barred from Curriculum Reimbursement Sues Oregon District

Bluzan said that she wants Christian families "to bring up their children in a way that they believe, that they have the ability to” and wants “creators of Christian curriculum to be able to sell their curriculum without having to find workarounds so that it can be funded within the school district.”

‘Nothing Short Of Censorship’: Christian Teacher Dismissed For Expressing Pro-Life Beliefs In Response To Student’s Question

“If our national education system continues to claim to foster inclusion and tolerance, this must include tolerance of perspectives with which others disagree. In a free and just society, teachers should not be fired for honestly expressing their deeply-held beliefs in response to questions in the classroom. What happened to me is nothing short of censorship, and this precedent cannot be allowed to stand.”

Republicans Boast About Receiving A ‘Failed’ Report Card After Far-Left Org ‘Grades’ States On Compliance With Radical Sex Ed Policies

“I’ve never been more proud of getting an F than having SIECUS rate Ohio an F on their sex education report card because SIECUS is quite possibly, one of the most nefarious groups working in education in America today." Baer described SIECUS as “the primary ideological drivers behind the hyper-sexualization of kids” and “the gender ideology that’s being forced on children” as well as “promoting pro-abortion ideology to kids.”

From Clarity To Ideological Chaos: The Subtle Altering Of Our Language

It is a turning point at which settled concepts suddenly become hazy, lose their precise contours, at which our familiar and commonly used words lose their meaning, become empty shells.” Less than 50 years later, Solzhenitsyn’s fears have been realized. Our society, including its language, is crumbling around us. The English language has been corrupted and changed to be a shadow of its former self. We must be on guard against this decay in language and work to make sure we are properly understanding the world (and words) around us.

Bill In Congress Seeks To Safeguard Parental Custody Rights, Says ‘Affirming Biological Sex Does Not Constitute Child Abuse’

A bill to protect parents from losing custody of a child to the state for simply affirming their dependent’s biological sex over trans-identifying preferences has been introduced to the U.S. House and Senate. Speaking on “Washington Watch with Tony Perkins,” Miller said: “It is urgently needed federal action to ensure that federal child welfare funds are not going to be used to punish parents across the country.”

Confronting Modern-Day Battles With Eternal Truth

The greatest thing that you can do right now is to say, “Lord, here I am. Send me.” When you do that, expect Him to work in and through your life. From the moment you pray that prayer, be looking for an open door to speak up, to show up or to stand up. Most often in my own life, when I have prayed that prayer, God has not failed to present an opportunity that gets my attention. And when it does, I know He will fill my mouth with His truth to speak to that issue. It could be among my family, within the city council, a school board, our state capitol or even our nation. God has raised each of us to serve a particular purpose that will glorify Him, and I encourage you today to determine to be a person who seeks to fulfill that purpose.

A Simple, Clean End?: Assisted Suicide Does Not Mean A ‘Dignified Death’

The campaign to legalize assisted suicide relies on the promise that the drugs used to assist people to die will ensure a peaceful, dignified, and controlled death for those who are terminally ill. The public is often presented with this picture – that you’ll be able to take a harmless drug, fall asleep, and die without distress. However, recent events in Tennessee put that narrative into question.

How Does A Murderer Get Lifesaving Care But Babies Are Left To Die?

Let the contrast sink in: when the state’s attempt to kill a convicted murderer fails, doctors rush to save her life. When a mother’s attempt to kill an innocent child fails, Congress still argues over whether the law should explicitly require appropriate care.

Iowa City Council Opens Meeting With Satanic Prayer, Sparking Outcry From Christians Members

A city council meeting in Iowa took a dark turn earlier this week when a former member opened the meeting by praising Satan in his invocation. One-time Ottumwa City Council member Matt Dalbey began the meeting by praying to the “dark father” to “embrace the Luciferian impulse to eat from the tree of knowledge” before concluding his prayer with “Hail Satan.” But New Life Center Pastor Rick Bick did not go along to get along. As soon as the council concluded their recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance following the demonic prayer, Bick interrupted the meeting by demanding that Dalbey’s evil prayer be renounced.

As Trump Admin. Works To Protect Minors, Mamdani’s NYC Dedicates $9 Million To Child Sex Changes

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration has signed $8.9 million in contracts to provide child sex changes, putting the city at odds with the Trump administration’s Justice Department, which has launched a nationwide crackdown on such treatments for minors.

FDA Continues To Punt Conclusions On Abortion Drug’s Safety

The American people deserve the thorough report on abortion drug safety that the FDA has promised for nearly two years, but the agency has again failed to deliver it. The FDA now says it won’t release its final study until March. That will be too late for nearly 90,000 unborn babies who will die between now and then by illegally obtained abortion drugs in states like Louisiana that have taken great care to protect babies and mothers from the harms of abortion.

Canada Holds Off Plan To Kill People Whose Only Condition Is Mental Illness

Canada is prohibiting assisted suicide access indefinitely for people whose only underlying condition is mental illness.

Trampling Constitutional Freedoms: New California Mandate Would Force Churches To Provide Pro-LGBT ‘Anti-Hate Speech’ Training

“What I think the state is doing is it’s trying to intimidate churches into following through with this,” he lamented. “They should not be receiving any kind of ideological training from the state on any moral issue. That’s why what churches need to be doing is asking for religious accommodations. The federal law and the state law already require businesses to accommodate people’s faith if they’re being required to do something that violates their faith. … [T]his is one of those points in history here in California where civil disobedience is going to be necessary.”

Prop 1 Would Create An Extreme Statutory ‘Right’ To Abortion Under Idaho Law

This November, Idaho voters will decide whether to pass Prop 1, the so-called Reproductive Freedom and Privacy Act. A “Yes” vote creates a statutory “right” to abortion in Idaho until fetal viability. A “No” vote would leave in place Idaho’s Defense of Life Act, which protects babies from fertilization. Prop 1 is a citizen-initiated statute. If it passes on November 3, it will take effect on January 1, 2027, as new state law.

Virginia’s Loudoun County Proclaims October Is ‘LGBTQ+ History Month’ In Public Schools

In a proclamation, the Virginia school district said it “recognizes October 2026 as LGBTQ+ History Month in Loudoun County Public Schools” and encouraged staff, students and community members to “honor and celebrate the rich history and contributions of the LGBTQ+ community” to Virginia, Loudoun County and its schools.

Legal Experts Sound The Alarm About California Public Housing Measure, Warning It Could Be Used To Confiscate Church Property

The controversy began in October 2023, when California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) signed into law a measure that allowed religious institutions and nonprofit colleges to bypass local zoning laws in order to quickly establish affordable housing. The measure was apparently intended to make it easier for local jurisdictions to abide by state regulations that mandate a certain amount of appropriately zoned land in order to accommodate population growth across all economic levels, including extremely low-income individuals like the homeless. But now, churches in the deep blue state are finding that property developers are attempting to use the regulations to force them to sell property against their will, which could eventually devolve into their property being confiscated through eminent domain.

‘Christian’ Magazine Twists Scripture To Argue Against Monogamy, Claims The Bible Supports ‘Many Loves’

An article in the October issue of the liberal Christian Century magazine has raised alarms for those who believe Scripture plainly teaches that monogamous marriage between one man and woman is God’s natural and best design for sexual union and civilization’s bedrock institution. David Congdon, a religious studies lecturer at the University of Kansas who has been described as an ex-evangelical, argues in an article titled “Understanding polyamory” that Christians should be open to “nonmonogamy,” and specifically polyamory—the concept of “many loves”—as a faithful expression of sexual union and relationship.

We Are Not Cogs In A Government-Sponsored Wheel: The Anti-Biblical Worldview Of Socialism

A Biblical worldview recognizes that individuals bring dignity to families, communities, and societies. We are not cogs in a government-sponsored wheel, nor are we problems for the state to solve. When government controls food supply and distribution, employment and housing, citizens lose the ability to provide for themselves without bureaucrats’ permission. Consequently, the government can enslave its citizenry. It can seize your paycheck, your apartment, or your next meal. People who depend on the state for survival live at the will and convenience of their master. World history is littered with the incomprehensible death and destruction perpetrated by socialist regimes that gutted civilizations of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Making Sense Of God And Politics In America

Sometimes we take the blessing of our freedom for granted, but each election reminds us of the privileges of living in a free country. At its core, America was founded on the principles of liberty and was shaped by Christian thinkers. In his inaugural address as the first President of the United States, George Washington remarked, “No People can be bound to acknowledge and adore the invisible hand, which conducts the Affairs of men more than the People of the United States.”

South Australian Government Pushes For The Legalization Of Telehealth Appointments For Euthanasia

Recently, South Australia’s Health Minister Blair Boyer, and Deputy Premier and Attorney General Kyam Maher, joined voices to urge the Federal Labor Government to allow telehealth appointments for voluntary assisted dying (VAD).

After City Hall Ignores Discrimination Against Homeschoolers, American Families Push Back In Droves

And this week, homeschool families packed a Fremont City Council meeting that normally draws only a handful of people. Pray Vote Stand Chapter leaders from surrounding counties were there, too. Seth told council members what he had taken home from Washington. He said, “We pray, we vote, we participate, we pay attention, and we hold those who serve accountable to the people they represent.” After roughly an hour of discussion, eight council members needed about one minute to cast their votes. The vote was unanimous — five months of indifference, one minute of voting for five months.

A Display Of Moral Corruption: British Government Claims That Using Deceit To Obtain Abortion Pills Is ‘Not A Crime’

The fact that the government now claims that deception to obtain abortion pills is no longer an offence shows how morally corrupt our society has become. In no circumstances should deception to obtain medical treatment be acceptable. The mother is putting her own life at serious risk, let alone the life of her child, which may well end up costing the taxpayer and affecting all those close to her.

Judge Throws Out Riley Gaines NCAA Lawsuit To Force Protection of Women’s Sports

A case centered on the Title IX rights of women to have male-free sports has been thrown out by a Biden-appointed judge, leaving Riley Gaines and the Independent Council on Women’s Sports (ICONS) determined to appeal.

School District Capitulates To The Freedom From Religion Foundation, Ordering Teacher To Remove Cross From Classroom

The Freedom From Religion Foundation is an atheist group based in Wisconsin. The atheists fired off a letter to administrators at Erma B. Reese Elementary School. They said the teacher’s cross was a violation of the law – and that by posting the cross in the classroom she gave the signal that Christian students would be given special treatment.

As Anti-Christian Sentiment Grows Across The West, The Struggle Of The Church In Communist China Presents A Warning

Most Christians are aware of the struggle the church in Communist China has had with the government of that country. They have suffered from years of intense persecution and the limited ability to legally evangelize, gather to worship, or even teach their own children about Christ. As anti-Christian sentiment grows across the West, including here in America, we can expect policies like those in China to make their way over here, eventually (unless something changes, of course). Actually, the foundation for such persecution and limitation of Christian freedom is already being laid in America and the entire Western world.

The Diminishing Of Love: A Biblical Prophecy On Full Display In Modern Culture

“And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold” (Matthew 24:12). Our Lord’s words, of course, never fail, because He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. His prophecy telling of the diminishing of love within fallen humanity as the end of the age approaches frames all the evil and wickedness we have been witnessing for decades.

A Vitally Important Case For Freedoms: Has Christian Belief Become A Dangerous Thought Crime In The UK

This is a vitally important case for Christian freedoms. The case now rests on whether employers are entitled to subject Christians to additional vetting because of their Christian beliefs. Should an employer discover that you are a Christian, is the employer entitled to require an additional interview, demand assurances from you about your beliefs, or even refuse you employment because of your Christian beliefs? This, then, is really about whether employers can discriminate against you because of your Christian beliefs. Requiring an extra interview, or extra assurances, is discriminatory after all. Arguing that people may be at risk of suicide if they find out you are a Christian is a whole other level of discriminatory thinking. It amounts to claiming that Christian belief is a dangerous thought crime.

‘Kowtowing To Sharia Law’: Gavin Newsom Signs Law Codifying Muslim Observances Over Christian, Jewish Holidays

“The state of California doesn’t honor any other religion,” Rabbi Michael Barclay told CBN News. “But suddenly they’re kowtowing and catering to what is effectively Sharia law.” “Ramadan is not a month of peace,” the former Loyola Marymount instructor asserted. “In fact, al-Qaida calls it the month of conquests. And it’s a horrible statement about California and about our politicians who are pandering for whatever money or votes they think they can get from the Islamic community.” The new law’s accommodations for individual public school districts to determine their own closures for Muslim holidays is of specific concern for critics who say it’s a step toward enabling predominantly Islamic areas to operate autonomously under their own Islamic rules known as Sharia law.

‘Satanic Pro-Murder Propaganda’: Resurfaced Video Romanticizing Euthanasia Sparks Widespread Outrage

Browse social media and you may come across the artistically produced video of a woman imagining her “final days.” The video has been accused of both promoting and romanticizing assisted suicide, with commentators likening the “ad” to the kind of activity “Hitler and Goebbels were doing in Germany, pushing the murder of the ‘unfit.’”

Nebraska City Council Changes Homeschool Hiring Policy after Enormous Public Outcry

Following considerable public pressure exerted by a nationwide grassroots campaign in support of Nebraska volunteer firefighter Andrew Coates, whose job application for a full-time position was rejected by the city of Fremont due to him being homeschooled, the city council voted unanimously Tuesday to clarify its hiring regulations to treat homeschool credentials the same as any other educational credentials.

Midterm Election Stakes: Barbaric Abortion Up Until Birth Is The Democrats’ Agenda For The Entire Country

Pro-life advocates are sounding the alarm on congressional Democrats’ plan to nationalize abortion up to birth if the balance of power swings decidedly left in the midterm elections. And their claims aren’t simply campaign rhetoric, but proposed legislation that’s hiding in plain sight.“Massachusetts’ barbaric new Abortion Up Until Birth Act is the Democrats’ agenda for the entire country,” SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser says. “If they control the levers of power in Washington, D.C., they will pass a national law requiring every state to allow elective abortion on demand throughout the second and third trimesters. Brutal late-term abortions done by dismemberment and lethal injection into a baby’s heart will be greenlit across this nation and states will be banned from protecting unborn children at any point.”

House Speaker Johnson: The Midterms Are A Battle Between Two Completely Different Worldviews

“We’re at a crossroads,” Johnson said during a video interview with FRC President Tony Perkins. “It’s not just a contest right now between Republicans and Democrats. As everybody in that auditorium knows, this is a contrast between two completely different worldviews for America, who we are, and what we’re going to be. And that’s what’s on the ballot.” While serving as speaker of the House of Representatives for the past three years, the Louisiana congressman says he has tried ardently to remain true to his core Biblical convictions.

Department Of Education Defines ‘Sex’ In Title IX To Mean Male And Female

In April 2024, then-Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona announced the addition of “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” to Title IX. This redefinition of “sex” led to horrible consequences, as McMahon explained: "The Biden Administration’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) pushed schools across the country to illegally allow males to intrude into women’s sports and intimate facilities, and it investigated school staff for using incorrect pronouns or failing to ask students to declare a preferred gender. The Trump Administration has rescinded these agreements."

Pennsylvania School District Rescinds Policy That Hid Social Transitions From Parents

“There is growing psychiatric evidence that affirming a child’s gender dysphoria at school by using incorrect pronouns and names sets a vulnerable child down a path with lifelong consequences,” said ADF Senior Counsel Tyson Langhofer. “Children across the country have suffered for too long because of the lies of gender ideology. Schools must cease participating in this dangerous experimentation on kids and respect the right of parents to direct the upbringing, education, and healthcare of their children.”

Abortion Pills Have Turned Every Mailbox In America Into A Planned Parenthood Clinic

“The abortion drug is not safe,"  Hawley declared during the Family Research Council (FRC) Action’s Pray Vote Stand Summit last week. "It’s not safe for the babies it kills almost every single time, and it’s not safe for the mother, either, because in more than one in 10 cases, the mother who takes that pill is sent to an emergency room with a life-threatening condition. And the pharmaceutical companies who make that drug, they lie about it because they make money on abortions. The more abortions there are, the more money they make.”

‘Held To Account’: Trump DOJ Reaches Agreements With Six Major Hospital Systems To STOP Child Sex Changes

The Trump DOJ has now secured agreements with at least six major hospital systems now requiring them to stop providing child sex changes, as the Justice Department expands a nationwide investigation into these barbaric practices.

An Urgent Need To Restore Western Values: Political Corruption Backfires For The Left As Brazil Inches Closer To Conservative Election Victory

Indeed, some analysts — such as the Argentine Agustín Laje — have argued that Brazil is experiencing a “judicial dictatorship” orchestrated by officials close to Lula, including the notorious Judge Alexandre de Moraes. Undoubtedly, despite the pressures, the Bolsonaro family emerged as the big winner of the first round. God willing, Flávio will win the runoff — and with him, the Western values that Brazil so urgently needs to restore and greatly benefit hemispheric security following four years of leftist rule and the rise of drug trafficking and organized crime.
