Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys represent the National Institute of Family and Life Advocates and three Illinois pregnancy centers in the eight-year-old case National Institute of Family and Life Advocates v. Treto. After the attorneys asked HHS to investigate this matter, the agency sent a “notice of violation” to Illinois officials informing them that their state law violates the Weldon and Coats-Snowe Amendments. Those are federal conscience clauses that protect pro-life health care professionals from being forced to refer women for an abortion.

Federal civil rights officials are investigating the disruption of a Sunday church service in St. Paul after anti-ICE agitators stormed a Minnesota congregation, while some left-wing Christian leaders publicly applauded the incident as a form of judgment.
“They call it the Emergencies Act. It was really the Stalin Act,” he said. “I am pleasantly surprised that they did the right thing." Despite the legal win, the victory is “hollow” because the people who were wronged haven’t been reimbursed and the people who wronged him haven’t been punished, McVety added.
Two days after left-wing “agitators jarringly disrupted [their] worship gathering,” the elders of Cities Church in St. Paul, Minn. issued a statement addressing the incident. “Jesus is real,” they began. Thus, from the outset, they framed the issue as a clash of worldviews, correctly implying that those who would break up Christian worship do believe the truth that Jesus is God the Son Incarnate, the Savior and Lord of all. That true belief is protected in America, although some extremists choose to act and pretend as if it were not.

The Colorado General Assembly is threatening parents’ rights if they oppose “transitioning” their child to a new “identity.” In cases where parents divorce or separate, Senate Bill 26-018 mandates that courts take into consideration whether or not a parent supports a child’s “identity as it relates to a protected class” when “determining parenting time and allocation of decision-making responsibility.”
“This is a victory for common sense and for every woman who simply wants to feel safe at work,” said Darlington nurse Bethany Hutchison, president of the Darlington Nursing Union. “Women deserve access to single-sex spaces without fear of intimidation. Forcing us to undress in front of a man was not only degrading but dangerous. Today’s ruling sends a clear message: the NHS cannot ignore women’s right in the name of ideology.”
“This is an unconstitutional heckler’s veto – silencing speech because others might disagree with it. Teaching students to engage respectfully with opposing viewpoints is a core function of public education, not a threat to classroom safety,” ACLJ said. “Moreover, by prohibiting religious figures as role models while permitting secular ones, the school discriminated based on religious viewpoint in violation of the Free Exercise Clause.”
Religious liberty is the building block of a free society. America’s Founders listed it as the first freedom in the first clause of the First Amendment. Why? Because without the freedom to worship and live out our faith, all other liberties—civil, economic and social—come crumbling down. We need that First Freedom to be truly—and fully—free.

Is it a tough battle? Absolutely. “It’s always been uphill,” he concedes with the scars of someone who’s been in the battle for decades. “There have always been strong opponents. There’s always been a hundred times more financing on the other side than on ours. And yet, through prayer and persistence, we were able to reverse Roe v. Wade. So don’t get discouraged,” Donovan implored. “
With unrest continuing and local officials refusing to cooperate, President Trump signaled that restoring law and order remains a top priority. “All they have to do is enforce the law and tell the radicals to stand down,” one senior administration official said. “If they won’t, the federal government will.”
I have begun a research project on the BBC’s coverage of conversion therapy. Looking through more than 30 articles published over the last ten years, it is completely clear that the corporation’s output is not remotely balanced or impartial. It needs to change. This is the first line in the sand. If we continue to see editors signing off on biased representations of this important and politically relevant topic, we will continue to hold them to account, with each infraction demonstrating their brazen attitude towards truth.

If everyone could just put all the loud propaganda aside and look at these events dispassionately, they could reach no other conclusion that that today’s Democrats have no set principles other than the idea that they should be in power forever, and they’re willing to do ANYTHING to achieve that, even if it means defending the worst criminals on earth and sacrificing some of their own supporters’ lives. This isn’t politics, it’s moral bankruptcy.
