Why Colorado’s Attempts To Suppress Christian Freedoms Fail In The Highest Court Of The Land

The U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Chiles marks the third significant loss for the state of Colorado in cases involving religious liberty and LGBT-related claims. In 2018, the Court sided with baker Jack Phillips in Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, finding evidence of hostility toward his religious beliefs. In 2023, the Court held that web designer Lorie Smith could not be compelled to create expressive content that violated her convictions. Now, the Court has sided with Kaley Chiles.

Supreme Court Rejects Colorado’s ‘Conversion Therapy’ Ban As Unconstitutional

“But the First Amendment stands as a shield against any effort to enforce orthodoxy in thought or speech in this country,” the court’s opinion stated. “It reflects instead a judgment that every American possesses an inalienable right to think and speak freely, and a faith in the free marketplace of ideas as the best means for discovering truth... any law that suppresses speech based on viewpoint represents an ‘egregious’ assault on both of those commitments.”

Utter Madness: Progressive Left Spends Palm Sunday Weekend Raising A Fist Against Biblical Truth

There was a time when the week leading up to Easter would spark reverence and reflection throughout the Judeo-Christian Western world. It's the most important week on the Christian calendar, starting with Palm Sunday. Therefore, it was very instructive to see how prominent left-wing figures across the West spent this Palm Sunday weekend.

‘Murder By Mail’: At The Hands Of Abortion Pills, America’s Killing Of The Unborn Reaches Highest Number Since 2009

The number of abortions in the U.S. continued to rise in 2025, according to a new report, while the number of unborn lives lost to the abortion drug jumped dramatically. The Guttmacher Institute, founded as a component of Planned Parenthood in 1968, published its annual abortion report this month, recording 1,126,000 abortions in the U.S. over the course of 2025...

When A Nation Diminishes And Redefines The Role Of Fathers… The Consequences Are Everywhere

When I was a boy, my father gave me what I thought was a punishment: to read a chapter of Proverbs every day. What I didn’t realize at the time was that he wasn’t just correcting behavior, he was building a foundation. Because a father’s responsibility is not merely to raise children, but to prepare them. To prepare them for life. To prepare them for truth. And ultimately, to prepare them for eternity.

Poll Finds 57 Per Cent Of Victorians Are Opposed To Children Being Taught About Gender Ideology

We’re often told that concerns about gender ideology in schools come from a small minority of parents. The data tells a very different story. We recently commissioned research surveying 1,500 Victorians, and the results are clear. A majority of parents are not comfortable with the direction of gender-related teaching in schools.

Biden-Era CIA Analysis Linked ‘Motherhood And Homemaking’ To ‘Violent Extremism’

After the American public witnessed the Department of Justice target school board parents during President Joe Biden’s term, the DOJ lawyers might have been outdone by secretive analysts at the CIA and their hated target: Stay-at-home moms and their organic gardens.

When A Nation Loses Sight Of The Value Of Life, The Most Vulnerable Are The First To Be Sacrificed

Whenever a nation loses sight of the value of life (which always happens when the biblical worldview is replaced with an anti-God worldview!), the most vulnerable are the first to be sacrificed. The disabled, terminally ill, elderly, orphan, widow, and unborn suffer. God commands us not to murder (Exodus 20:13). Assisted dying might be dressed up in compassionate language, but really it is the murder of some of the most vulnerable.

While Transgender Ideology May Be Losing Significant Public Ground, Democrat Politicians Are Hardening Their Position

This ongoing institutional support helps explain why Senate Democrats unanimously opposed the women’s sports amendment. Advocacy groups continue to exert considerable influence within the Democratic Party. Organizations such as Equality PAC and the Human Rights Campaign have invested millions of dollars to support candidates aligned with their priorities and have developed strategic guidance for advancing LGBT policies in upcoming elections.

Hegseth Called ‘Controversial’ After Asking Americans To Pray For Troops

A nation founded on Christian values was also founded on free speech. That intersection of First Amendment rights has found significant blowback for the War Secretary. Pete Hegseth, who, in a press briefing last Thursday, asked Americans to pray for their troops who have entered harm’s way during the conflict against Iran.

HHS Puts 13 States On Notice For ‘Coercing’ Health Care Entities To Pay For Abortion

From its very beginning, the church condemned abortion as murder. The government should not attempt to force Christians to participate in grievous sin, and it shouldn’t take Christian groups thousands of dollars, countless hours, and great effort to fight infringements of our First Amendment right to religious freedom. We’re grateful that the Department of Health and Human Services is pushing back against states that advocate the destruction of human life and trample on religious freedom.

Federal Judge Has It All Wrong On Ten Commandments Ruling, Family Advocate Says

"Judge Brooks is just flatly wrong in his ruling because he essentially says that the Ten Commandments are of no educational value to a student, and that's ridiculous. Anyone who has studied history, whether you believe in God or not, knows that the Ten Commandments form the basis of just about all of Western civilization, Western thought, and are very instrumental in the founding of our country."

Connecticut Anti-Homeschooling Bill Sparks Massive Opposition Movement

A highly controversial bill moving its way through Connecticut’s legislature would significantly heighten the state’s scrutiny of homeschooling families, requiring child welfare checks, increased educational progress reports, and in-person registration with public schools, among other measures. Public outcry has snowballed over the legislation, with parents and homeschool advocates arguing that the bill constitutes state infringement on the constitutional rights of parents to freely educate their children.

European Court Denies Christian Parents Custody of Daughters

“It is tragic—and unacceptable—that a child who recanted her allegations and yearns to be home remains separated from her family, resulting in extended and severe mental distress,” Sancho continued. “The element of religious discrimination is also unmistakable in this case. The state labeled the family as religious extremists solely because of their active practice of their Christian faith.  

After Turbulent Debate, Scottish Parliament Rejects The Legalization Of Assisted Suicide

Dr. Stuart Weir, head of CARE for Scotland, a Christian policy group, also expressed his support for Parliament’s “positive and truly compassionate” decision. “If you look at countries where assisted suicide is legal, the same troubling and distressing pattern emerges: numbers increase year-on-year, and categories of eligibility are widened,” Weir said.

68% Of Americans Say You Don’t Need God To Be Good — A Biblical Response

Without God (the Creator God of the Bible), there is no objective standard for morality or “good” values versus “bad” values. What makes murder wrong? What makes adultery wrong? We intuitively know they are wrong, but what actually makes them wrong is the objective standard of the absolute authority of the Word of God. Without that standard, everything is arbitrary.

‘Protect Kids Colorado’ Qualifies Three Child Safety Ballot Measures for November

In an email, Lee thanked volunteers who spent six months collecting signatures at hundreds of churches, grocery stores, ministries, colleges and signing events around the state: "This is more than a milestone – it’s a historic, grassroots achievement powered by people across Colorado. What many said was impossible, you made a reality. More than 3,300 petition carriers, 1,900+ notaries, hundreds of churches, and so many supporters stepped up – getting signatures, giving, sharing and showing up day after day. Every conversation, signature, and hour mattered."

When The State Conspires Against Parents, The Results Are Catastrophic

When the state assumes the role of the parent, the results are rarely “liberating” for the child. As Sage Blair’s story proves, it is often catastrophic. By excluding parents, schools remove the first line of defense God gave to children. They trade the permanent, unconditional love of a family for virtue signals of activists and bureaucrats.

A Calculated Spiritual Battle: Why The Abortion Industry Is Working To Invade Christian Universities

The Devil's evil, but he isn't dumb. Satan already owns Hollywood, academia, and mainstream media. What the Devil, Planned Parenthood, and the abortion industry want is a foothold in the church—specifically, the next generation of the church. Sadly, some so-called "Christians" are opening the door.

First Grade Christian Teacher Secures Right to Opt-Out Of Reading LGBTQ Books

First Liberty Institute filed suit on Feb. 17 on Rivera’s behalf, requesting that KIPP Antioch College Prep Elementary School remove the final warning letter from his personnel file, stop discriminating against individuals for their religious beliefs in hiring and evaluating employees, and commit to accommodating religious employees who wish to refrain from reading any materials to students that violate their faith. 

Moral Inconsistency: In Abortion Up To Birth Minnesota, Lawmakers Argue For ‘Inherent Right to Life’… For Rice

If you heard someone say a bill would “recognize the . . . inherent right to live,” you might assume the speaker was referring to the inherent, God-given right that unborn babies have to life. But you would be wrong in this case, as this statement was recently made about . . . wild rice. This story just highlights the inconsistency that happens when people abandon the truth of God’s Word and worship the creature, rather than the Creator.

How Legacy Media Organizations Are Actively Celebrating ‘Polycules, Polyamory And Throuples’

It started in the 1960s and 70s with the separation of sex and babies from marriage, marriage from parenting with the expressive divorce, and the single-parent-by-choice revolution. That was followed through the 1980s and 90s with drastic rises in cohabitation. Then we had the radical redefinition of and de-sexing of the family with same-sex marriage. Now it’s polyamory, throuples and polycules. And these new forms are going mainstream. Within days, The New York Times recently published two features highlighting the mainstreaming of polyamory.

No Nation Should Compel Children To Engage In Worldview Instruction Without Parental Safeguards

The state’s determination of a child’s capacity must never override the biblical and natural role of parents as primary educators. These new regulations do not strengthen families, they undermine them. They risk placing children in spiritual and emotional confusion, elevating the transient and malleable preferences of a minor over the wisdom, care and long‑term responsibility of the parent.

Dangerous National Trend: University Of Oregon To Dispense Abortion Pills Directly To Students

Reports surfaced last week that the University of Oregon will begin offering the abortion pill to students directly from its on-campus health center in the fall of 2026. The college became the latest in a succession of universities that have recently begun offering the drug on campus, which experts say poses extreme physical and mental health dangers to women and increases the chances of them being coerced into aborting their babies.

U.S. Rejects UN Document Sidestepping Biological Womanhood amid Global Gender Ideology Push

What made the U.S. stand alone? Trump administration officials saw the document as anything but pro-woman, slamming it for pushing DEI frameworks, gender ideology that blurs biological sex, vague references to sexual and so-called “reproductive health,” and crucially, refusing to define “woman” or “gender.” This omission reflects the broader cultural battles raging over gender identity, where progressive ideologies have increasingly sought to blur the lines between biological sex and LGBT-related agendas.

Assisted Suicide Becomes A Leading Cause Of Death In Canada: ‘More Than All Other Countries Combined’

As Canada approaches its 10th anniversary of legalizing assisted suicide, the nation is also nearing a record 100,000 deaths by the practice. Based on the number, so-called Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) is one of the leading causes of death in Canada, making it soon to be the first nation in the modern era to reach over 100,000 in euthanasia deaths. Canada’s yearly total is more than all other countries combined.

‘Culture Of Death’: Pop Star Jokes About Fan’s Abortion, Encourages Others To Do The Same

A rising pop star unapologetically joked about a fan killing her preborn baby last week — the sobering result of the decades-long devaluation of life in the West. “I killed the performance and then you killed it after the performance purrrrrr,” Larsson replied, using a slang term meant to indicate strong approval or celebration. The singer remained unapologetic — even gleeful — in the face of pro-life censure.

California Mom Who Lost Daughter To Suicide Over Gender Issues Urges Supreme Court To Protect Parental Rights

It’s unconscionable for a state to tell parents what to believe and how to raise their children. It’s also unconstitutional. “The Constitution is clear: States cannot target parents because of their religious beliefs, interfere with the religious upbringing of their children, or impose prior restraints on speech in their own homes,” our brief states.

1 In 7 Christian Universities Support The Abortion Industry, Stunning New Report Finds

This is all a reminder of what I’ve been saying for years and years—just because a school advertises itself as Christian doesn’t mean it holds to what the Bible teaches or that it imparts a biblical worldview to its students. So many schools have compromised on the truth of God’s Word and have drifted far from their original Christian foundation.

Protecting Predators: Almost 1 In 5 Children Face Sexual Misconduct By Public School Faculty

The epidemic of sexual misconduct targeting children in government schools is back in the headlines, and it is even worse than previously known. According to the latest estimates, a shocking 17 percent of students in government schools will be victims of some sort of sexual abuse at the hands of teachers and faculty. That represents about 8 million children. 

Gov’t Driven Attacks On Parental Authority: Modern Policies Have Become Destructive To The Family

The real question is how our society reached the point where states believe they have the authority to cut parents out of decisions that can permanently shape or, in some cases, end a child’s life. On almost no other issue — except abortion — would such deliberate disregard for parental authority be tolerated. That tells us a lot. At its core, this conflict reflects a deeper cultural departure from a biblical understanding of family and responsibility.

‘Why Is There A Girl In The Boys’ Locker Room?’: Loudoun County Boys Win Settlement In Title IX Case Against School District

The high school students sued LCPS in September after the Virginia school district tried to suspend them for commenting on a female student using the boys' locker room. LCPS found the boys’ comments constituted sexual harassment and discrimination under the district’s infamous Policy 8040, which allows students to use bathrooms and locker rooms consistent with their “gender identity,” rather than their sex. “We are pleased that this nightmare is over and our clients are happy with the result.”

Supreme Court Blocks California’s Gender Transition School Policies; ‘This Is A Watershed Moment For Parental Rights In America’

“This is a watershed moment for parental rights in America,” said Paul M. Jonn, Thomas More Society special counsel. “The Supreme Court has told California and every state in the nation in no uncertain terms: you cannot secretly transition a child behind a parent’s back. The Court’s landmark reaffirmation of substantive due process, its vindication of religious liberty, and its approval of class-wide relief together set a historic precedent that will dismantle secret gender transition policies across the country.”
