Despite the fact that Joe Biden supports taxpayer-funded abortion and will certainly be appointing Supreme Court justices that will uphold Roe v. Wade, former Ohio Governor John Kasich (R) believes that the former vice president will not be a radical on the issue of abortion.
Speaking with Meghan McCain on &#8220;The View&#8221; Friday, Kasich said that Biden would not actually enact the many radical proposals of his campaign if elected president, arguing that his &#8220;character&#8221; would not allow it. The exchange came when Meghan pressed Kasich about the radicalism proposed by the likes of Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA).
&#8220;I hate President Trump, and I think everybody else knows that, but there are some policies on the left specifically with Senator Kamala Harris right now having to do with abortion,&#8221; said Meghan McCain, as reported by <a href="https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/kristine-marsh/2020/09/11/kasich-tells-mccain-its-safe-pro-lifers-vote-biden-character">Newsbusters</a>. &#8220;She co-sponsored a bill opposing any limits at all when you can get an abortion and it&#8217;s a big break from Joe Biden&#8217;s past positions. And the Biden-Harris campaign is also running on taxpayer funding for abortions.&#8221;
&#8220;I was surprised at this, including those after 20 weeks. You&#8217;re pro-life, and I know that. You were pro-life in politics as am I,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;It&#8217;s a big, big part of who I am and my platform, and I don&#8217;t think taxpayers should be funding abortions for women who are as pregnant as I am right now. So how would you push back against a voter like me who&#8217;s concerned about things like this in a possible Biden/Kamala administration?&#8221;
Kashich said that while he disagrees with Joe Biden on a number of issues, including the capital gains tax, he believed that the former vice president would be able to pull the country back together.
&#8220;I agree with your position on the life issue, but look, again I&#8217;m not a person —  first of all, I disagree with Joe Biden in a number of areas, like some of what he&#8217;s talking about in terms of capital gains taxes — but the issues here are dwarfed, in my opinion, by the fact that he&#8217;s a person that can pull us together,&#8221; said Kasich.  &#8220;So do I think that if he wins, all of the sudden, all of these things are gonna happen that are negative? No, I don&#8217;t believe that at all, because that&#8217;s not his character. That&#8217;s not who he is.&#8221;
Kasich then cited Joe Biden&#8217;s relationship with Megahan&#8217;s father, John McCain, as proof that he can get along with people that disagree with him.
&#8220;As you know, I  hope this is appropriate for me to say, as you know, your father and Joe were great friends. Why?  Not because they agreed on everything, but they could find common ground,&#8221; he said. &#8220;So do I think we are going to end up in some cataclysmic place if he wins? I don&#8217;t. But I do believe four more years of this division is wrecking the very soul of our country.  And if we continue down this path, I don&#8217;t know how we come back.&#8221;

Republican lawmakers from Georgia criticized Disney for filming &#8220;Mulan&#8221; in regions of China where people are reportedly tortured in concentration camps, despite having threatened to boycott Georgia for outlawing abortion after a fetal heartbeat is detected.
Georgia&#8217;s Gov. Brian Kemp, Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R), and Rep. Jody Hice (R) each issued statements to the Daily Caller&#8217;s <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2020/09/10/georgia-lawmakers-disney-china-concentration-camps-kemp-loeffler-hice/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Henry Rodgers</a> that condemned Disney for their apparent double standard.
In 2019, then-Disney CEO Bob Iger <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/disney-ceo-signals-withdrawal-georgia-over-amanda-prestigiacomo" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">told Reuters</a> that the entertainment giant might sever ties with the state after the heartbeat bill, saying, &#8220;I don’t see how it’s practical for us to continue to shoot there.&#8221; Despite the backlash, Kemp remained adamant at the time that the law was the right thing to do, describing it as &#8220;a declaration that all life has value, that all life matters, and that all life is worthy of protection.&#8221;
In his statement to the Caller, Kemp said, &#8220;With a low cost of doing business, incredible natural resources, and a highly skilled and motivated workforce, Georgia remains the choice location for television and film production. We will continue to compete globally for these projects that invest in local communities and employ thousands of hardworking Georgians.&#8221; Georgia offers a 30% tax rebate for film and TV production, making it a hub for the industry in the Southeast.
As for Disney’s filming in China, according to <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/disney-under-fire-for-filming-mulan-in-chinas-xinjiang-province" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Hollywood Reporter</a>, not &#8220;only did Disney shoot in the region, but the studio appears to have offered its gratitude to Chinese government agencies involved in alleged abuses.&#8221; Specifically, they thanked the Turpan Municipal Bureau of Public Safety, which is the agency reportedly responsible for the internment and abuse of nearly 1 million Uyghur Muslims, according to the <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-54064654" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">BBC</a>.
The Hollywood Reporter added, &#8220;Mulan&#8216;s credit sequence also extends a thank you to the ‘publicity department of CPC Xinjiang Uighur Autonomy Region Committee,’ the Chinese Communist Party agency responsible for producing and managing state propaganda efforts in the region.&#8221;
Loeffler told the Caller, “I’m extremely disappointed that Disney has chosen to partner with—and even thank—the Chinese Communist Party as part of their most recent film production. Xinjiang and China’s disgraceful history of human rights violations, free speech suppression, and even genocide should be denounced vociferously—not applauded.&#8221;
&#8220;As the best state in the country for film and business, I encourage Disney to prioritize freedom, equality, and opportunity for all—and put Georgia back on its mind,&#8221; she added.
Hice offered the lengthiest statement, saying:
<blockquote>Yet another once-great American corporation – the Walt Disney Company – has decided to stand in-league with the evil communist regime in China rather than support and defend American values of equality and respect for all peoples, creeds and religions. Disney happily jumped into the debate in the State of Georgia to oppose the ‘Heartbeat’ bill, which saves the lives of thousands of unborn babies from abortion – but refuses to condemn Communist China’s systematic persecution of religious minorities by the millions.
This grossly hypocritical position and the recent controversy surrounding the movie “Mulan” demonstrates the massive influence of China in Hollywood. Many of us in Congress have been speaking out against China’s blatant disregard for religious liberty for years. But if the American private sector continues to support and collaborate with the communist government, then the fight to stop China’s human rights abuses becomes that much harder.
I urge Disney to seize this moment to serve as a light in the darkness and set an example for other corporations.</blockquote>
Other companies, such as Netflix, followed Disney in their threat to boycott Georgia. “We have many women working on productions in Georgia, whose rights, along with millions of others, will be severely restricted by this law,” Ted Sarandos, Netflix’s chief content creator, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/disney-ceo-signals-withdrawal-georgia-over-amanda-prestigiacomo" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">told Variety in 2019</a>. “It’s why we will work with the ACLU and others to fight it in court.”
Netflix <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/walsh-child-sexualizing-cuties-movie-on-netflix-is-even-worse-than-we-thought-its-time-to-cancel-netflix" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">is in hot water</a> with many viewers after clips from its new movie &#8220;Cuties&#8221; depicting young girls dancing in an overtly provocative, sexualized way, went viral.

Twitter-famous Alabama abortionist Dr. Leah N. Torres had her medical license suspended on August 27. Additionally, the Tuscaloosa abortion clinic where she serves as medical director, West Alabama Women’s Center, had their application to practice medicine denied by the Alabama Board of Medical Examiners the day prior.
Torres, who made waves on <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/creepy-abortionist-gets-defensive-and-then-emily-zanotti">Twitter</a> back in 2018 for boasting about cutting the cords of babies so she can&#8217;t hear their screams during abortions, apparently made fraudulent statements on her application, according to the medical board, AL.com <a href="https://www.al.com/news/2020/09/alabama-suspends-license-of-doctor-for-tuscaloosa-abortion-clinic.html">reported</a> Thursday.
&#8220;The Board denied an application for a certificate of qualification on Aug. 19, and on Aug. 27 temporarily suspended her license to practice medicine &#8216;until a hearing is held on the allegations against her,'&#8221; the report said, adding, &#8220;The letter of notice from the Board of Medical Examiners says that Torres, in her application, gave false answers to several questions including whether her staff privileges had ever been revoked or suspended at any hospital or health care facility.&#8221;
The letter of notice also said that Torres has made “public statements related to the practice of medicine which violate the high standards of honesty, diligence, prudence, and ethical integrity demanded from physicians licensed to practice in Alabama,&#8221; AL.com noted.
As reported by <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/creepy-abortionist-gets-defensive-and-then-emily-zanotti">The Daily Wire</a> back in 2018, Torres was defending her job as an abortionist, and gruesome partial-birth abortion in particular, when she posted a tweet about cutting a baby&#8217;s cords before they have the &#8220;opportunity&#8221; to cry out in pain.
&#8220;So [if] it’s not for the money, is it because you just like infanticide?&#8221; one Twitter user asked Torres. &#8220;Do you hear their heartbeats when you lay down at night? Do you hear their screams?&#8221;
The abortionist responded: &#8220;No. You know fetuses can’t scream, right? I transect the cord 1st so there’s really no opportunity, if they’re even far enough along to have a larynx.&#8221;
&#8220;I won’t apologize for performing medicine,&#8221; added Torres. &#8220;I’m also a &#8216;uterus ripper outer,&#8217; if that’s how you’d like to describe hysterectomy.&#8221;
The depraved tweet has since been <a href="https://twitter.com/LeahNTorres/status/972969907292848129?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">deleted</a>.
During the Twitter back-and-forth, the abortionist stressed that she doesn&#8217;t abort babies for the money, but for some undeclared righteous reason, apparently.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Your ignorance is showing
Look up what docs get paid for delivering babies vs for performing abortions.
I’ll take $3K for the delivery over $100 for the abortion. 
Why do anti-choice folks always think it’s for money? <a href="https://t.co/ZQB671rTdl">https://t.co/ZQB671rTdl</a>
&mdash; Leah Torres, MD (@LeahNTorres) <a href="https://twitter.com/LeahNTorres/status/972935595956649984?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 11, 2018</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Spokeswoman for the West Alabama Women’s Center Robin Marty claimed that Torres&#8217; medical license suspension was likely &#8220;based on misunderstandings.&#8221;
“West Alabama Women’s Center is following all state guidelines regarding its operation,” said Marty. “We believe the actions taken regarding Dr. Torres’s licensing application are based on misunderstandings concerning documents she filed with the Board of Medical Examiners and the Medical Licensure Commission. We know Dr. Torres to be an entirely honorable and professional doctor and look forward to the resolution of the issues relating to her application and license.”
As noted by AL.com, the abortion clinic was responsible for &#8220;3,371 abortions in 2018, out of 6,484 that year statewide, according to the Alabama Center for Health Statistics.&#8221;

Kanye West took his famous Sunday Service to a whole new level over the weekend when he and his choir walked on water.
According to <a href="https://www.etonline.com/kanye-west-walks-on-water-during-sunday-service-with-joel-olsteen-watch-152613">Entertainment Tonight</a>, the Sunday Service was held in Fayetteville, Georgia, where he walked on a pond with his 7-year-old daughter, North, and his 4-year-old son, Saint, at his side.
&#8220;The choir at the service also participated in the &#8216;walking on water&#8217; visual, and congregated in the middle of the pond to perform gospel songs, including Kanye&#8217;s &#8216;Ultralight Beam,'&#8221; reported the outlet. &#8220;Lakewood Church senior pastor and televangelist Joel Osteen also gave a sermon during the service.&#8221;
Despite their open and public marital troubles this summer, Kanye West&#8217;s wife Kim Kardashian was also in attendance at the service and even posted video of the walking on water moment to social media.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Kanye West issued a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kanye-west-issues-public-apology-to-wife-kim-kardashian-i-know-i-hurt-you">public apology</a> to his wife Kim Kardashian in August after he accused her of trying to lock him up during what appeared to have been a bipolar episode.
“I would like to apologize to my wife Kim for going public with something that was a private matter,” the rapper tweeted. “I did not cover her like she has covered me. To Kim I want to say I know I hurt you. Please forgive me. Thank you for always being there for me,” West said.
Though West did not specify the private matter he regrets sharing publicly, it was most likely his admission of considering aborting his own daughter, North, during a South Carolina presidential campaign rally last weekend.
“My mum saved my life. My Dad wanted to abort me… My mum saved my life, there would have been no Kanye West because my dad was too busy,” Kanye told the audience. “Even if my wife wants to divorce me after this speech, she brought North into the world even when I didn’t want to. She stood up and she protected that child. You know who else protected a child? Forty-three years ago, who do you think protected a child?”
On top of being vocal about his Christianity, the musician and fashion mogul has been an outspoken pro-life advocate ever since announcing his presidential candidacy over the summer. Speaking with Nick Cannon on his show &#8220;Cannon&#8217;s Class&#8221; last week, the &#8220;Jesus Walks&#8221; singer alleged that abortion conglomerate Planned Parenthood kills black people &#8220;strategically and on purpose.&#8221;
“In 50 years, there’s been 22 million — over 22,500,000 — black people aborted strategically and on purpose. Planned Parenthood was set up and placed in minority communities to kill black people,” he said.
“According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, abortion kills more black people than HIV, homicide, diabetes, accidents, cancer, and heart disease — watch this one — combined,” he continued. “Three thousand shootings in Chicago a year, 700 murders, you’ve got to put that with heart disease, you’ve got to put that with HIV, you’ve got to put that with diabetes, you’ve got to put that with just accidents, and put that with cancer, and it doesn’t add up to specifically abortions. If you think about that number, 1,000 black babies are aborted each day.”

Lubbock may soon be the 15th and largest city in Texas to become a “sanctuary city for the unborn” and outlaw abortion, pending the decision of the mayor and city council.
Several state lawmakers and local activists have been pushing the city to adopt an ordinance essentially banning <a href="https://dw-site-staging.dailywire.com/news/cnn-a-baby-surviving-an-abortion-and-a-newborn-arent-the-same-thing">abortion</a> as the abortion provider <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-kanye-west-says-planned-parenthood-kills-blacks-strategically-and-on-purpose">Planned Parenthood</a> moves forward with plans to open a new clinic in the city.
“The fact that ‘the outlawing of abortion within the city limits’ is even being discussed as an option for the City of Lubbock shows just how far the Sanctuary City for the Unborn movement has come,” Right to Life of East Texas Director Mark Dickson told The Daily Wire in an email. “What started in a city of 2,189 is now being entertained in a city of about 300,000.”
Dickson is the founder of the Sanctuary Cities for the Unborn Initiative and the author of the proposed ordinance. State Sen. Charles Perry and state Reps. Dustin Burrows and John Frullo, all Republicans representing the Lubbock area, sent a letter to the city’s GOP mayor, Dan Pope, and the city council in August urging them to adopt Dickson’s ordinance.
“It has come to the attention of many in our area that Planned Parenthood, the nation’s leading provider of abortion services, is planning to open a clinic in Lubbock between now and the end of the year. We respectfully request that the City of Lubbock take all necessary actions to prevent them from opening, since this organization profits off ending the lives of unborn children,” the letter says, according to <a href="https://www.liveaction.org/news/members-texas-legislature-lubbock-outlaw-abortion/">Live Action</a>.
“The battlefield to protect the unborn has shifted from the state to the local arena in recent years. For that reason, passing an ordinance designating Lubbock as a Sanctuary City for the Unborn will help to continue the Texas belief that life begins at conception, while also protecting the safety of mothers,” the letter says.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/report-planned-parenthood-affiliates-improperly-applied-for-80-million-they-got-it-now-the-government-wants-the-money-back">Planned Parenthood</a> previously operated a clinic in Lubbock until a since-overturned law forced the clinic to shut down in 2013. The abortion provider recently posted new job listings on its website for a new facility in Lubbock, though it has said little else about the ongoing plans. Planned Parenthood blamed “harassment from extremists” for staying silent on many of the details of the proposed clinic.
“Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas recently posted for staff positions in Lubbock, and is planning to announce the opening of a new health center in that community later this year. In light of the history of harassment by extremists opposed to Planned Parenthood’s mission, it is our ongoing policy to not comment on health center projects for security reasons until they are completed,” Planned Parenthood said in a statement on its <a href="https://www.plannedparenthood.org/planned-parenthood-greater-texas/newsroom/planned-parenthood-of-greater-texas-in-west-texas">website</a>. “Additional information, including health center opening date, location, and list of health services, will be shared when finalized.”
The proposed ordinance says that “It shall be unlawful for any person to procure or perform an abortion of any type and at any stage of pregnancy in the City of Lubbock, Texas,” and “It shall be unlawful for any person to knowingly aid or abet an abortion that occurs in the City of Lubbock, Texas,” according to a copy of the ordinance obtained by <a href="https://thetexan.news/lubbock-officials-eye-outlawing-abortion-after-planned-parenthood-heralds-new-facility/">The Texan</a>.
The ordinance defines abortion as “the act of using or prescribing an instrument, a drug, a medicine, or any other substance, device, or means with the intent to cause the death of an unborn child of a woman known to be pregnant. The term does not include birth-control devices or oral contraceptives.”

Cedar Park Church — a family of churches in Washington state which also operates a Christian school — has found itself in the unique position of defending the constitutionally protected freedoms of all Washingtonians.
Last year, it <a href="https://www.adflegal.org/case/cedar-park-assembly-god-kirkland-v-kreidler" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.adflegal.org/case/cedar-park-assembly-god-kirkland-v-kreidler&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1599259729548000&amp;usg=AFQjCNG8dvBkoOgYNqzRR-tW5W5fD_MibA">filed a legal challenge</a> to SB 6219, a state law enacted in 2018 mandating that all health insurance plans that cover maternity care also cover abortion, and now it is asking the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit to allow its lawsuit to go forward just as it recently <a href="https://www.adflegal.org/press-release/9th-circuit-rules-favor-church-forced-pay-abortion-returns-case-district-court" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.adflegal.org/press-release/9th-circuit-rules-favor-church-forced-pay-abortion-returns-case-district-court&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1599259729548000&amp;usg=AFQjCNEO0HFA1UaaIBzc2ZaCX6g8c4d3CA">allowed a similar case in California to proceed</a>.
SB 6219 violates both the letter and spirit of the U.S. Constitution, as well as Washington law and Americans’ longstanding respect for individual freedom of conscience. It contains no effective exemptions for those — like Cedar Park — with religious, moral, or conscientious objections to abortion. Under it, employers will be forced to subsidize, through the regular payment of their health insurance premiums, their employees’ abortions.
While Roe v. Wade legalized the practice of abortion nationwide, no Supreme Court case has held that there is a constitutionally protected right to have others pay for or facilitate payment for another person’s abortion. Any legal right that SB 6219 purports to manufacture is, therefore, subservient to the First Amendment freedom of conscience.
American history, tradition, and law confirm that no one can be forced to commit or participate in an act that is against his or her religious or moral beliefs, including payment for such an act. For example, <a href="http://tjrs.monticello.org/letter/243" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://tjrs.monticello.org/letter/243&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1599259729548000&amp;usg=AFQjCNHgflMOFhVyCPN3SUF0YWvhPOZ-Og">Thomas Jefferson emphatically stated</a> that no provision in the Constitution “ought to be dearer to man, than that which protects the rights of conscience against the enterprises of the civil authority.”
Compelling an objecting church or Christian school to provide and pay for insurance that covers abortion — a practice that many Americans oppose — and threatening it with state-imposed sanctions if it refuses to violate its religious beliefs or conscience in this way is undeniably dictatorial. It eviscerates the very purpose upon which America was founded.
And so we must confront SB 6219’s unconstitutional purpose and impact. <a href="https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Jefferson/01-40-02-0168" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Jefferson/01-40-02-0168&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1599259729548000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGhoA8B00MGgAR6qM8DvpR9gejcQw">As Jefferson prophetically charged us</a>, “we are bound, you, I, &amp; every one, to make common cause, even with error itself, to maintain the common right of freedom of conscience. We ought with one heart and one hand to hew down the daring and dangerous efforts of those who would seduce the public opinion to substitute itself into that tyranny over religious faith….”
Recognizing the truth of Jefferson’s admonition, the U.S. Supreme Court has <a href="https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/401/1/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/401/1/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1599259729548000&amp;usg=AFQjCNE5sy0lrwU7ndH8_iEq7aDHBaiidg">consistently</a> <a href="https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/393/503/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/393/503/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1599259729548000&amp;usg=AFQjCNE-cLmURr3KFJiCjp3zuy0dj6K7-Q">affirmed</a> that freedom of conscience cannot be restricted by law.
The high court has also <a href="https://adflegal.blob.core.windows.net/mainsite-new/docs/default-source/documents/legal-documents/conestoga-wood-specialties-v.-burwell/conestoga-wood-specialties-v-burwell---u-s-supreme-court-opinion.pdf?sfvrsn=64745204_4" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://adflegal.blob.core.windows.net/mainsite-new/docs/default-source/documents/legal-documents/conestoga-wood-specialties-v.-burwell/conestoga-wood-specialties-v-burwell---u-s-supreme-court-opinion.pdf?sfvrsn%3D64745204_4&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1599259729548000&amp;usg=AFQjCNHiAKIeiYepo-fbVGdw7pbPGLgCkA">specifically held</a> that laws cannot abridge First Amendment protections simply because an employer, business, or corporation is the source of the protected conduct. For example, the Supreme Court determined that the federal healthcare law’s “HHS Mandate” — which requires employers and businesses to provide contraceptive coverage to their employees regardless of religious, moral, or ethical objections — burdened the constitutionally protected freedoms of closely-held, for-profit corporations.
SB 6219’s abortion mandate also defies the unmistakable commitment Washingtonians have historically demonstrated for protecting the fundamental freedom of conscience.
Specifically, the <a href="http://leg.wa.gov/lawsandagencyrules/documents/12-2010-wastateconstitution.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://leg.wa.gov/lawsandagencyrules/documents/12-2010-wastateconstitution.pdf&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1599259729548000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGkHfDBDI3d84c61-vCoitxY7D2Ow">Washington Constitution</a> provides, “Absolute freedom of conscience in all matters of religious sentiment, belief and worship, shall be guaranteed to every individual, and no one shall be molested or disturbed in person or property on account of religion.…”
Implementing this important constitutional safeguard, <a href="https://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=48.43.065" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite%3D48.43.065&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1599259729548000&amp;usg=AFQjCNH4B_P-3K7ZwwGE274i133PpAqB2w">Washington law further recognizes</a> that “every individual possesses a fundamental right to exercise their religious beliefs and conscience,” and provides that “[n]o individual or organization with a religious or moral tenet opposed to a specific service may be required to purchase coverage for that service or services if they object to doing so for reason of conscience or religion.”
Washingtonians have demonstrated a commitment to protecting and advancing the freedom of conscience and have consistently sought to protect individuals, employers, and businesses from laws or other mandates that would force them to violate their consciences, religious beliefs, or moral sensibilities. The 9th Circuit should allow Cedar Park Church’s lawsuit to proceed because SB 6219 ignores the state of Washington’s absolute obligation to protect First Amendment rights.

Continuing his crusade against Planned Parenthood, Kanye West said that the abortion giant has been killing black people for the past 50 years &#8220;strategically and on purpose.&#8221;
Speaking with Nick Cannon on his podcast &#8220;Cannon&#8217;s Class,&#8221; West laid out some searing facts about abortion in America, noting that Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger was a white supremacist.
“In 50 years, there’s been 22 million — over 22,500,000 — black people aborted strategically and on purpose. Planned Parenthood was set up and placed in minority communities to kill black people,&#8221; he said.
Playing devil&#8217;s advocate, Cannon, who has himself <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/nick-cannon-planned-parenthood_n_583c41f5e4b000af95eed819">been critical</a> of Planned Parenthood in the past, said that PP supporters would argue that the organization has evolved from the racist roots of its founder to become a force for good in the United States. West slapped that notion down by citing the fact that one of Sanger&#8217;s specific goals was to reduce the American black population.
As West relayed the statistics about black abortion, the facts were undeniable that abortion kills more black people in the United States than any other cause.
“According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, abortion kills more black people than HIV, homicide, diabetes, accidents, cancer, and heart disease — watch this one — combined,” West asserted. “Three thousand shootings in Chicago a year, 700 murders, you’ve got to put that with heart disease, you’ve got to put that with HIV, you’ve got to put that with diabetes, you’ve got to put that with just accidents, and put that with cancer, and it doesn’t add up to specifically abortions. If you think about that number, 1,000 black babies are aborted each day.”
&#8220;It&#8217;s funny because I&#8217;ve sent this to people, and there are some people that say, &#8216;wow, that touches me.&#8217; Some people say, &#8216;I feel that,'&#8221; he said. &#8220;And an overwhelming amount of people that I send it to and their response was, &#8216;Thank you for sending that.'&#8221;
&#8220;With no emotion,&#8221; Cannon added.
&#8220;Thank you for sending? Why would you thank anyone for sending that?&#8221; West wondered aloud.
<iframe title="[FULL SESSION] Kanye West on Cannon&#039;s Class part 1" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KzgsxJt_KSI?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
West sparked ire from Planned Parenthood supporters this past July when he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kanye-west-praises-trump-hammers-planned-parenthood-likens-covid-vaccine-to-mark-of-the-beast">told Forbes </a>that the abortion giant is a tool of white supremacists to eliminate black babies.
“Planned Parenthoods have been placed inside cities by white supremacists to do the Devil’s work,” he said.
“I am pro-life because I’m following the word of the Bible,” he later added.
Planned Parenthood then issued a forceful response to West, accusing him of promoting a “black genocide” conspiracy theory that infantilizes blacks.
“Black women are free to make our own decisions about our bodies and pregnancies, and want and deserve to have the best medical care available,” said Nia Martin-Robinson, the organization’s Director of Black Leadership and Engagement. “Any insinuation that abortion is Black genocide is offensive and infantilizing.”

Late-term abortion is deeply unpopular in America, with <a href="https://news.gallup.com/poll/235469/trimesters-key-abortion-views.aspx">just 13%</a> saying they support the practice during the third trimester and just 28% supporting it during the second trimester. Yet Democrats, including presidential candidate Joe Biden, refuse to put any limits on abortion, even up until the minute of birth or shortly thereafter.
Speakers at the Republican National Convention pointed this out, and The Washington Post has been there to run cover for Biden. On Wednesday, Sister Deirdre Byrne said that Biden and his running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), support “the horrors of late-term abortion and infanticide.” Following the statement, the Post attempted a “fact check” that doesn’t actually negate what Byrne said:
<blockquote>Biden does not support “late-term abortion and infanticide.” He supports abortion rights and says he would codify in statute the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling in Roe v. Wade and related precedents, which generally limit abortions to the first 20 to 24 weeks of gestation.</blockquote>
National Review’s David Harsanyi <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/factcheckers-keep-lying-about-bidens-abortion-position/">explained</a> how the Post avoided what Byrne actually said in order to make it seem as if she were making an untrue statement.
“For one thing, the words ‘generally limit’ do a lot of heavy lifting. The Post notes that only ‘1 percent’ of abortions ‘happen after the fetus reaches the point of viability.’ What the Post avoids saying is that <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/06/12/separating-fact-fiction-abortion-talking-points/">more than</a> 8,000 viable fetuses, and probably more than 10,000 <a href="https://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/terence-p-jeffrey/cbo-late-term-abortions-average-one-hour-us-calculates-cost-letting">on the cusp</a> of viability, are aborted every year. The killing of thousands of tiny human beings — whether it is ‘codified’ by law; or whether it is allowed by emotional health exemptions; or whether reporters find ‘experts’ to tell us it’s okay — is properly described as infanticide,” Harsanyi wrote.
Further, as Harsanyi pointed out, the Post would never use such dismissing language when talking about gun deaths.
“But can anyone imagine an alleged Post factchecker dismissing gun deaths as ‘generally’ unimportant because less than .01 percent of legal firearm owners commit murder? Or treating a public official who advocates for zero limits on gun ownership, as simply promising to ‘codify’ the Second Amendment? To do so would be to circumvent fundamental point of the debate — which is exactly what pro-choice reporters are trying to do,” Harsanyi wrote.
This isn’t the first time mainstream media outlets have covered for the Left’s extreme abortion views. National Review’s Ramesh Ponnuru <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/the-washington-posts-abortion-fact-check-gets-it-wrong/">explained</a> earlier this week another “fact check” from the Post used similar language to dismiss Biden’s personal support for late-term abortion. At that time, the Post actually did try to make a comparison to gun rights, but as Ponnuru explained that while the Post suggests 8,000 late-term abortions is negligible to the point of not needing to be discussed, a year with 13 school-shooting deaths warrants massive attention. Neither should be dismissed.
The New York Times was no better. The Times, Ponnuru <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/the-new-york-times-also-factually-deficient-on-abortion/">wrote</a>, deceptively described a bill introduced in the Virginia legislature as merely allowing late-term abortions “if the mother’s physical health or safety were at risk.” The bill actually allowed for late-term abortions for mental health reasons.

Sister Dede Byrne of the Little Workers of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary slammed the Democratic presidential ticket during night three of the Republican National Convention, saying that they are the most anti-life ticket in American history.
&#8220;In 1978, as a medical school student at Georgetown University, I joined the Army to help pay for my tuition and ended up devoting 29 years to the military, serving as a doctor and a surgeon in places like Afghanistan and Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula,&#8221; she began. &#8220;After much prayer and contemplation, I entered my religious order in 2002, working to serve the poor and the sick in Kenya, Haiti, Sudan, Iraq, and in Washington, D.C.&#8221;
&#8220;As a physician, I can say, without hesitation, life begins at conception,&#8221; she said. &#8220;While what I have to say may be difficult for some to hear, I am saying it because I’m not just pro-life, I’m pro-eternal life, and I want all of us to end up in heaven together someday.&#8221;
&#8220;Which brings me to why I’m here today. Donald Trump is the most pro-life President that this nation has ever had, defending life at all stages,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;His belief in the sanctity of life transcends politics. President Trump will stand up against Biden-Harris, who are the most anti-life presidential ticket ever, even supporting the horrors of late-term abortion and infanticide.&#8221;

TRANSCRIPT:
<blockquote>Good evening. I’m Sister Dede Byrne, and I belong to the community of the Little Workers of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
Last fourth of July, I was honored to be one of the President’s guests at his “Salute to America” celebration.
I must confess that I recently prayed while in chapel, begging God to allow me to be a voice and instrument for human life, and now here I am, speaking at the Republican National Convention.
I guess you better be careful for what you pray for!
My journey to religious life was not a traditional route…if there is such a thing.
In 1978, as a medical school student at Georgetown University, I joined the Army to help pay for my tuition and ended up devoting 29 years to the military, serving as a doctor and a surgeon in places like Afghanistan and Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula.
After much prayer and contemplation, I entered my religious order in 2002, working to serve the poor and the sick in Kenya, Haiti, Sudan, Iraq, and in Washington, D.C.
Humility is at the foundation of our order, which makes it very difficult to talk about myself, but I can speak about my experience working for those fleeing war torn and impoverished countries all around the world. Those refugees all share a common experience. They have been all marginalized; viewed as insignificant, powerless, and voiceless.
And while we tend to think of the marginalized as living beyond our borders, the truth is, the largest marginalized group in the world can be found here in the United States. They are the unborn.
As Christians, we first met Jesus as a stirring embryo in the womb of an unwed mother, and saw him born nine months later in the poverty of the cave. It’s no coincidence that Jesus stood up for what was just and was ultimately crucified because what he said wasn’t politically correct or fashionable.
As followers of Christ, we are called to stand up for life, against the politically correct or fashionable of today. We must fight against a legislative agenda that supports and even celebrates destroying life in the womb. Keep in mind, the laws we create define how we see our humanity. And we must ask ourselves, what are we saying when we go into a womb and snuff out an insignificant, powerless, voiceless life?
As a physician, I can say, without hesitation, life begins at conception.
While what I have to say may be difficult for some to hear, I am saying it because I’m not just pro-life, I’m pro-eternal life, and I want all of us to end up in heaven together someday.
Which brings me to why I’m here today. Donald Trump is the most pro-life president that this nation has ever had, defending life at all stages. His belief in the sanctity of life transcends politics. President Trump will stand up against Biden/Harris, who are the most anti-life presidential ticket ever, even supporting the horrors of late-term abortion and infanticide.
Because of his courage and conviction, President Trump has earned the support of America’s pro-life community. Moreover, he has a nationwide [army] of religious standing behind him. You’ll find us here with our weapon of choice…the rosary!
Thank you Mr. President. We are all praying for you.</blockquote>

On Tuesday night, Planned Parenthood executive-turned-pro-life advocate Abby Johnson spoke at the Republican National Convention (RNC) to detail the truth about abortion, describing barbaric surgical abortion procedures without their usual euphemistic cover and highlighting Planned Parenthood&#8217;s racist founding that still reverberates today.
&#8220;[Planned Parenthood founder] <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/planned-parenthood-ny-will-remove-margaret-sangers-name-from-clinic-over-harmful-connections-to-racism-eugenics?utm_source=facebook&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=mjk&amp;fbclid=IwAR3v-POu4TzQCdVe3xzos9C8HcbWotx-gznnKCQcKzJCsUcLdYczd81e57c">Margaret Sanger</a> was a racist who believed in eugenics,&#8221; asserted Johnson, who was once given the abortion giant&#8217;s &#8220;employee of the year&#8221; award. &#8220;Her goal, when founding Planned Parenthood, was to eradicate the minority population.&#8221;
&#8220;Today, almost 80% of Planned Parenthood abortion facilities are strategically located in minority neighborhoods,&#8221; she said. &#8220;And every year, Planned Parenthood celebrates its racist roots by presenting the Margaret Sanger award.&#8221;
Though Johnson started with Planned Parenthood under the impression that she would be helping young women, she learned that abortion was vital to the corporation&#8217;s bottom line, and their main concern.
Then, she detailed, Johnson was asked to assist a physician in an ultrasound-guided abortion. She recalled seeing an &#8220;unborn baby desperate to move away from the suction,&#8221; and the doctor callously joking, &#8220;Beam me up, Scotty.&#8221;
&#8220;The last thing I saw was a spine twirling around in the mother&#8217;s womb until succumbing to the force of the suction,&#8221; Johnson said.
She later left Planned Parenthood and became one of the leading pro-life advocates in the movement. In a memoir titled “Unplanned,” Johnson details her long journey to pro-life fighter. She has also started a ministry for abortion workers walking away from the industry called “And Then There Were None” (ATTWN), and ProLove Ministries, set up as a “sister organization” to ATTWN.
Concluding her speech, Johnson called President Donald Trump our most &#8220;pro-life&#8221; president and urged Americans to speak up for the unborn at the ballot box come November.
During an interview with <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/abby-johnson-tells-daily-wire-about-her-journey-frank-camp" rel="noopener">The Daily Wire</a> in 2018, Johnson detailed her last year at Planned Parenthood and the series of events that triggered her to leave, as similarly discussed in her Tuesday night RNC speech:
<blockquote>There were several reasons (why I left). Things were really, I don’t know, kind of turning upside down for me in 2009. That year out of Houston, my affiliate was building the largest abortion facility in the Western Hemisphere, which is now currently open. And the plan was to perform abortions through six months of pregnancy, which was problematic for me because I had always believed that abortion past the point of viability or close to the point of viability is wrong. That was one thing that was problematic.
That summer, we ran out of funding, which was common every summer, and we were basically told that we were not to give any discounts to patients who might have, you know, qualified for funding, but we were out of it. I remember bringing that up at a meeting with my boss. I said something like, “We’re a non-profit and we’re a charitable organization, we should be trying to help these women with annual exams or birth control,” and I remember her looking at me and saying, “Abby, being non-profit is a tax status, not a business status.” And that just really went against everything I thought we were doing there.
Then in August of that year, I was instructed to double our abortion quota – the certain number of abortions that we had to sell to women who came into our clinic. And then ultimately, I ended up leaving in October after witnessing a live, ultrasound-guided abortion procedure in which I saw a 13-week-old baby in the womb fight and struggle for his life against the abortion instruments. I knew then that there was humanity in the womb, and that abortion took the life of this human being, and I knew that I was on the wrong side of this debate.
So I decided then that I was going to leave and get another job. When I decided to leave, I went to a local pro-life group in town and asked them if they could possibly help me find another job with their contacts. When Planned Parenthood found out that I had gone to this pro-life group, they actually sued me and tried to get a permanent gag order against me so that I wouldn’t be able to talk about what I had seen at the clinic and things that I knew. The lawsuit failed, obviously, and I’ve been speaking out ever since, and just sharing my experiences.</blockquote>

An English professor at Iowa State University changed her syllabus after it became public that she threatened to dismiss students who voiced opposition to gay marriage, abortion, or Black Lives Matter.
After explaining how the class will explore &#8220;monster theory,&#8221; Professor Chloe Clark issued a &#8220;GIANT WARNING&#8221; to the students in her English 250 class, according to the <a href="https://www.yaf.org/news/iowa-state-professor-threatens-to-dismiss-pro-life-anti-blm-students-from-her-class/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">syllabus</a> obtained by Young America&#8217;s Foundation (YAF):
<blockquote>This class will include many discussions about these subjects (and the texts we use) and, thus, participation will be a large factor in the class. GIANT WARNING: any instances of othering that you participate in intentionally (racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, sorophobia, transphobia, classism, mocking of mental health issues, body shaming, etc) in class are grounds for dismissal from the classroom. The same goes for any papers/projects: you cannot choose any topic that takes at its base that one side doesn’t deserve the same basic human rights as you do (ie: no arguments against gay marriage, abortion, Black Lives Matter, etc). I take this seriously.</blockquote>
YAF wrote in a blog post, &#8220;This bigoted behavior from a public university professor is truly unbecoming. This blatant discrimination against conservative students, in particular those who are pro-life or oppose the Marxist BLM organization cannot stand at an institution of higher learning.&#8221;
&#8220;This is just the latest instance of leftists corrupting the practice of higher education YAF has exposed. Warning students that any opinion the professor may disagree with could be grounds for dismissal from the classroom is a gross abuse of power,&#8221; YAF added.
After the syllabus went viral, Iowa State University voiced its disapproval of Clark&#8217;s behavior:
<blockquote>The syllabus statement as written was inconsistent with the university’s standards and its commitment to the First Amendment rights of students. After reviewing this issue with the faculty member, the syllabus has been corrected to ensure it is consistent with university policy. Moreover, the faculty member is being provided additional information regarding the First Amendment policies of the university.
Iowa State is firmly committed to protecting the First Amendment rights of its students, faculty, and staff. With respect to student expression in the classroom, including the completion of assignments, the university does not take disciplinary action against students based on the content or viewpoints expressed in their speech.</blockquote>
Spencer Brown, a spokesman for YAF said, &#8220;It is hopeful news to see a university take the side of the First Amendment and the free expression rights of its students—still, it is shameful that a faculty member ran so far afoul of basic educational practice and the Constitution that such a retraining of this kind is necessary.&#8221;
&#8220;Based on what we at YAF see and hear from our student activists, many administrators and professors could use a refresher on the First Amendment as the fall semester begins.”
Iowa State University College Republicans president Ryan Hurley told <a href="https://freebeacon.com/campus/professor-prohibits-students-from-criticizing-abortion-and-black-lives-matter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Washington Free Beacon</a>, &#8220;[Clark] is not out of the ordinary. Many professors do these sorts of things and have these heavy left biases. I am also certain that if [articles about the syllabus] hadn&#8217;t come out and gotten attention, [Clark] would not have faced any university pushback.&#8221;

Iowa State Professor’s Syllabus ‘Corrected’ After It Threatened To Boot Students Who Criticize Abortion, Gay Marriage, BLM

An English professor at Iowa State University changed her syllabus after it became public that she threatened to dismiss students who voiced opposition to

A professor of English at Iowa State University issued a syllabus for her class asserting that any student who opposes the pro-choice perspective or the Black Lives Matter movement will have created “grounds for dismissal from the classroom.”
Chloe Clark gave a warning on the syllabus for her English 250 class, which was obtained by Young America’s Foundation from an anonymous source who wished to avoid retribution for giving it to YAF through YAF’s Campus Bias Tip Line, as Kara Zupkus of YAF <a href="https://www.yaf.org/news/iowa-state-professor-threatens-to-dismiss-pro-life-anti-blm-students-from-her-class/">noted</a>.
It read:
<blockquote>GIANT WARNING: any instances of othering that you participate in intentionally (racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, sorophobia, transphobia, classism, mocking of mental health issues, body shaming, etc) in class are grounds for dismissal from the classroom. The same goes for any papers/projects: you cannot choose any topic that takes at its base that one side doesn’t deserve the same basic human rights as you do (ie: no arguments against gay marriage, abortion, Black Lives Matter, etc). I take this seriously.</blockquote>
The syllabus also stated:
<blockquote>A central concept in this course is that ‘arguments are all around us, in every medium, in every genre, in everything we do …. An argument can be any text —written, spoken, aural, or visual — that expresses a point of view …
As this class goes alongside WGS 201, it will view the concepts of rhetoric and arguments through the gaze of “monster theory.” Throughout history, monsters have served as the ultimate depictions of the “other.” Othering has long been one of the most effect to isolate and control groups of people. This class will hopefully give you the tools to understand “othering” in day to day life, as well as combat it in your own communication.</blockquote>
The syllabus continued with a note for those who might be “triggered” by the “violent or disturbing imagery” subject matter, writing, “If, at any point, you would like a Trigger Warning before viewings/readings that may contain this imagery, please let me know and I’m happy to provide them!”

In a <a href="http://blog.pshares.org/index.php/wishes-gone-wrong-a-womans-place-in-fairy-tales/">column</a> titled, “Wishes Gone Wrong: A Woman’s ‘Place’ in Fairy Tales,&#8221; Clark examined various fairy tales, including “The Fisherman’s Wife,” “The Two-Headed Weaver,” and “The Monkey’s Paw,” and concluded:
<blockquote>These types of tales can be found all around the world; I easily found examples of “man gets wish, woman makes him wish for something foolish, man loses the chance at wishes, no one is happy” tales from a huge variety of cultures. The biggest variations seem to be who the granter of wishes is and what types of wishes are made. The most common connection: the nagging woman who seeks too much … In the end, the moral of these stories doesn’t seem to just be “be careful what you wish for.” Instead, for women, it seems to be “you don’t deserve to wish for anything.”</blockquote>
Clark&#8217;s book “Collective Gravities” was published in July 2020. She graduated from Iowa State University in 2106.

The Satanic Temple (TST) claimed that religious freedom laws ought to exempt them from state abortion restrictions because some of their members regard first-trimester abortion as a religious ritual.
As reported by Salt Lake City ABC affiliate <a href="https://kutv.com/news/nation-world/satanic-temps-says-religious-freedoms-exempt-abortion-rights-from-state-laws" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">KUTV</a>, TST said in a press release that it &#8220;bases its assertions of abortion mandate exemptions on the protections provided by State Religious Freedom Restoration Acts or RFRA, which generally prohibits the government from substantially interfering with a person’s free exercise of religion.&#8221;
According to the announcement on their <a href="https://announcement.thesatanictemple.com/rrr-campaign41280784" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">website</a>, which bears the slogan &#8220;Thyself Is Thy Master,&#8221; TST claims abortion can be a religious rite for some Satanists because &#8220;the Satanic abortion ritual provides spiritual comfort and affirms bodily autonomy, self-worth, and freedom from coercive forces with the affirmation of TST&#8217;s Seven Tenets.&#8221;
&#8220;The ritual is not intended to convince a person to have an abortion. Instead, it sanctifies the abortion process by instilling confidence and protecting bodily rights when undergoing the safe and scientific procedure,&#8221; it added.
The ritual itself involves gazing at one&#8217;s reflection in a mirror prior to either a medically-induced or surgical abortion and affirming aloud the TST tenets that &#8220;One’s body is inviolable, and subject to one’s own will alone,&#8221; and &#8220;Beliefs should conform to one&#8217;s best scientific understanding of the world,” and “One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one&#8217;s beliefs.&#8221;
The state restrictions by which TST claims Satanists are exempt under RFRA are mandatory waiting periods, the requirement that practitioners withhold certain medical information, compulsory counseling prior to an abortion, required reading materials, medically unnecessary sonograms, mandatory listening to the fetal heartbeat, and the compulsory burial or cremation of fetal remains.
&#8220;The intent of the full ritual is to empower and to allow the patient to feel confidence in their choice,&#8221; said TST spokeswoman Jane Essex in an explanatory video. Appealing to the 2014 Burwell v. Hobby Lobby case at the Supreme Court, Essex further explained TST&#8217;s assertion that their right to unrestricted abortion falls under that decision.
&#8220;Any state-mandated violation of the Third and Fifth Tenets compromises the abortion ritual by forcing the Satanist to violate their deeply held beliefs, which goes against the Hobby Lobby decision. So medically unnecessary requirement violates our religious practices,&#8221; she said.
Essex also claimed TST might seek legal action if a clinic denies a Satanist&#8217;s supposed religious exemptions. &#8220;A denial would mean that the clinic is prohibiting that person from performing a religious ritual, and The Satanic Temple will intervene to make sure that our members&#8217; right to partake in this abortion ritual is granted. So, if necessary, we&#8217;ll take legal action to help the patient in filing a complaint for declaratory judgment, a permanent injunction, as well as an emergency preliminary injunction.&#8221;

TST lauded the removal of the Confederate flag from Mississippi&#8217;s state flag last month, but threatened to sue the state when they did not also remove the motto &#8220;In God We Trust.&#8221; In 2018, they protested a display of the Ten Commandments outside the Arkansas State Capitol by unveiling a statue of children looking up in adoration to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/satanic-temple-statute-brought-arkansas-capitol-ashe-schow" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Baphomet</a>, an androgynous winged demon with a goat head.

Vice President Mike Pence said Chief Justice John Roberts has been a disappointment to conservatives because of how often he has sided with the more liberal Supreme Court justices in consequential Supreme Court cases.
During an <a href="https://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/politics/2020/august/on-the-road-with-pences-faith-in-america-tour-2020-election-will-decide-if-america-will-still-be-america" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">interview</a> published Thursday, CBN News Chief Political Analyst David Brody asked Pence, &#8220;Are you scratching your head a little bit on John Roberts? We&#8217;re not going to call him David Souter at this point, but conservatives have a track record of having some problems with Supreme Court justices that you thought were going to be a reliable vote &#8230;”
&#8220;We have great respect for the institution of the Supreme Court of the United States,&#8221; Pence answered. &#8220;But Chief Justice John Roberts has been a disappointment to conservatives, whether it be the Obamacare decision or whether it be a spate of recent decisions all the way through Calvary Chapel. It&#8217;s a reminder, and I think several cases out of the Supreme Court are a reminder [of] just how important this election is for the future of the Supreme Court.&#8221;
Pence continued:
<blockquote>We remember the issue back in 2016, which I believe loomed large in voters&#8217; decision between Hillary Clinton and the man who would become President of the United States. And some people thought that it wouldn&#8217;t be as big an issue these days, but I think that&#8217;s all changed. The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-john-roberts-casts-deciding-vote-as-supreme-court-strikes-down-louisiana-abortion-restrictions" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">recent decision</a> — and again a narrow Supreme Court decision — striking down a Louisiana pro-life law that only said that doctors working in abortion clinics would have to have admitting privileges at local hospitals. That&#8217;s a very modest restriction on abortion providers, but a narrow majority in the Supreme Court still said it was unacceptable.
And I think it&#8217;s been a wake-up call for pro-life voters around the country who understand, in a very real sense, that the destiny of the Supreme Court is on the ballot in 2020. And that&#8217;s why President Trump announced that he&#8217;s going to publish another list of men and women from which he will draw any future appointments to the Supreme Court of the United States. He did that in 2016; he kept his word. He&#8217;s going to do that in the fall of 2020, and [in the] next four years, he’ll keep his word and appoint more principled conservatives to our courts.</blockquote>

The unsigned opinion was strongly rebuked in dissents by Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Samuel Alito.
In his dissent, Gorsuch contrasted the state&#8217;s treatment of churches with how it treats casinos, writing in part, &#8220;In Nevada, it seems, it is better to be in entertainment than religion. Maybe that is nothing new. But the First Amendment prohibits such obvious discrimination against the exercise of religion. The world we inhabit today, with a pandemic upon us, poses unusual challenges. But there is no world in which the Constitution permits Nevada to favor Caesars Palace over Calvary Chapel.&#8221;

The chairwoman of the Planned Parenthood Advocates of Arizona (PPAA), a non-profit group that engages in electoral and political activities, recently stated that &#8220;policing&#8221; was a &#8220;reproductive justice issue,&#8221; but provided no explanation linking the two topics.
Chairwoman Chris Love made the remarks in a thread on Twitter last week, writing, &#8220;We understand that policing and police violence are reproductive justice issues, and though we are not an RJ organization, we believe in the RJ framework and are committed to supporting RJ organizations and work.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Planned Parenthood Arizona declares policing a &#39;reproductive justice issue,&#39; doesn&#39;t elaborate <a href="https://t.co/AyCAP9fMX9">pic.twitter.com/AyCAP9fMX9</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The full context of Love&#8217;s remarks come as she asked the political candidates that her organization had endorsed to return any campaign contributions that they had received from pro-police groups.
Love <a href="https://twitter.com/LegallyLove/status/1288133252738215941">wrote</a> the following in a series of tweets:
<blockquote>The Board of Planned Parenthood Advocates of Arizona voted unanimously to ask our endorsed candidates to return any campaign contributions from police unions and other policing organizations because: (1) We believe that #BlackLivesMatter is more than a hashtag. We actually believe it. (2) We wanted to do something more than issue a simple statement with no action behind it.
We understand that policing and police violence are reproductive justice issues, and though we are not an RJ organization, we believe in the RJ framework and are committed to supporting RJ organizations and work. We exist to endorse candidates who align with our values AND our job is to hold them accountable when they act in ways that are out of alignment.&#8221;
We knew this ask would be controversial and that it would make some of our endorsees uncomfortable. Good! That is the point. We want the folks who represent us in government to actually think about the consequences of signing on to #BlackLivesMatter statements on the one hand while (often quietly) taking police money on the other.
We&#8217;ve received the full range of reactions from our current electeds in the state leg. Many of our endorsees never took money from police in the first place, so it was a non-issue for them. Many more did, but were happy to return the money or donate it to other organizations doing work around policing and other issues important to the Black community.
However, there are still some that are pushing back in the most problematic ways. They know that our Board leadership is Black and Latinx, so they&#8217;ve taken great pleasure in describing our very clear policy in ways that are offensive.
We&#8217;ve been called &#8220;naive&#8221; and told the issue of policing is so complex that it is beyond our understanding. We&#8217;ve been called &#8220;singular in focus.&#8221; We&#8217;ve been told to stay in our lane. Some folks had some choice words about me personally because I&#8217;m a scary Black woman.
Y&#8217;all know what all of this means and what is implied, so I don&#8217;t have to go into it again. However, to the electeds reading this right now (and I know you are), please know that the Board is committed to this policy and we have no plans to change it so that you can feel better about taking money from police unions.
Further, the Board is a group of attorneys, medical doctors, finance experts, folks in government, and community leaders and organizers. Many of us are members of the groups most impacted by police violence. This issue is not new to us and we understand it quite well, thanks.
We also know that being an elected always requires the threading of needles. That&#8217;s why we didn&#8217;t threaten to yank endorsements. Rather, we asked politely if endorsees would return or donate the money. And even though we asked oh so politely, some folks are acting like our request for accountability is somehow an attack.
It is fine that you don&#8217;t agree. Just say that and keep it moving. We are not holding people hostage and forcing them do anything that they don&#8217;t want to do. What I&#8217;m no longer interested in hearing is offensive characterizations of this policy or my Board members.
What I will leave you with is a challenge. Lean into your discomfort about this and ask yourselves why you want police union money given all we know about the ways they impede progress in criminal justice reform (and defunding and abolition) protect the &#8220;bad apples,&#8221; blame victims in the most racist ways, and uphold a culture of violence committed against the very people they are supposed to protect and serve.
Why is keeping that money more important to you than the Black lives you claimed mattered just a couple of months ago? I&#8217;ll wait.</blockquote>

Law enforcement officials in Washington, D.C., arrested two pro-life activists on Saturday after the activists wrote &#8220;black pre-born lives matter&#8221; in chalk outside a Planned Parenthood building.
The two activists, who were flanked by numerous supporters, were approached by law enforcement as they started to write on the sidewalk.
&#8220;Hey folks, I need to tell you that if you continue chalking, you&#8217;re going to be placed under arrest for defacing property,&#8221; the officer said. &#8220;I&#8217;ve given you you&#8217;re warning. You understand that, right?&#8221;
&#8220;If you continue chalking, you&#8217;re going to be placed under arrest,&#8221; the officer continued.
At that point the two activists continued to write on the sidewalk in chalk.
The officer then motioned to other officers to place the two activists under arrest.

Other activists who were there told the police officers that pro-life activists do this every Saturday. The activists say that the area of the sidewalk that they were writing on was public property.
The Metropolitan Police Department has not yet issued a statement about the arrests.
“So we are peacefully gathered here in front of Planned Parenthood in Washington, D.C., and we have students and African American protesters that simply have gathered and we began to write on the sidewalk with chalk, as many of these young people do all the time ‘black pre-born lives matter,’ and all of the sudden they’ve committed a crime,” the activist said in reference to the arrests. “They do this every week. I come down here routinely to pray. I see people and they’ve never arrested anybody before, but today they’re arresting people just because we have decided peaceably assemble and to stand for black pre-born lives.”
“And so, what we’re saying today in the spirit of Frederick Douglas, who was a great abolitionist, there’s a new movement of abolitionists,” the activist continued. “This isn’t the abolition of slavery but this is the abolition of what we know is the greatest civil rights in our culture today and that is for pre-born lives.”
The move by law enforcement to arrest the peaceful protesters comes after prosecutors in D.C. dropped felony rioting charges against numerous people who allegedly participated in riots in late May.
“Dozen[s] of people arrested over the weekend when mass protests in the District erupted in mayhem were released from custody Monday after appearing in court on an array of charges, including burglary, destruction of property and violating a municipal curfew,” The Washington Post <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/public-safety/prosecutors-drop-many-rioting-charges-as-dozens-charged-in-dc-protests-appear-in-court/2020/06/01/b581d5d2-a38b-11ea-bb20-ebf0921f3bbd_story.html">reported</a> at the start of June. “Although many of those arrested were charged by police with felony rioting, that charge was dropped by prosecutors in most cases.”
The subject of abortion in the black community has gained notable attention in recent months and celebrities have started using their platforms to bring attention to the issue.
One notable example is rapper Kanye West, who tweeted on Friday, “Over 22,500,000 black babies have been aborted over the past 50 years.”

Pro-Life Activists Arrested After Chalking ‘Black Pre-Born Lives Matter’ On Sidewalk By Planned Parenthood

Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) told <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/sen-hawley-lays-down-new-antiabortion-marker-for-supreme-court-nominees/2020/07/26/52ed360a-cf73-11ea-8d32-1ebf4e9d8e0d_story.html?hpid=hp_politics1-8-12_hawleycourt-420pm%3Ahomepage%2Fstory-ans">The Washington Post</a> on Sunday he won’t confirm any Supreme Court justice nominee who do not have a record noting that Roe v. Wade was wrongly decided. 
“I will vote only for those Supreme Court nominees who have explicitly acknowledged that Roe v. Wade is wrongly decided,” Hawley told The Post. “By explicitly acknowledged, I mean on the record and before they were nominated.”
“I don’t want private assurances from candidates. I don’t want to hear about their personal views, one way or another. I’m not looking for forecasts about how they may vote in the future or predications. I don’t want any of that. I want to see on the record, as part of their record, that they have acknowledged in some forum that Roe v. Wade, as a legal matter, is wrongly decided,” he said. 
Hawley’s decision to focus on abortion in the next confirmation battle, which may not even occur for years, is part of an effort to curb the judicial activism that has been emanating from the nation’s highest court. 
“Roe is and was an unbridled act of judicial imperialism. It marks the point the modern Supreme Court said, ‘You know, we don’t have to follow the Constitution. We won’t even pretend to try,’” said the freshman Republican senator. 
“This standard, for me, applies to Supreme Court nominees, whether they’re a sitting judge or whatever,” he said. 
After the Supreme Court ruled that discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation and transgender identification was unconstitutional back in June, Hawley criticized the 6-3 court opinion as <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2020/06/16/josh-hawley-lgbt-supreme-court-conservatives-323254">representative</a> of “the end of the conservative legal movement.”
“It would have been better to say the text means what it meant when it was written in 1964,” said Hawley, of Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which was the legal basis for the case, as reported by <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/hawley-critical-of-scotus-lgbt-decision">The Washington Examiner</a>. 
“You really can&#8217;t do that from the bench,” he said. “These decisions have massive scope. This is a huge decision with major repercussions across different fields of law.”
President Donald Trump, who was presented with the rare opportunity to nominate two justices in his first term in office, has since promised to update his list of potential Supreme Court nominees on the occasion another vacancy should occur. 
&#8220;I will be releasing a new list of Conservative Supreme Court Justice nominees, which may include some, or many of those already on the list, by September 1, 2020. If given the opportunity, I will only choose from this list, as in the past, a Conservative Supreme Court Justice,&#8221; tweeted Trump.
“Based on decisions being rendered now, this list is more important than ever before,” he added, citing Second Amendment, pro-life and religious liberty concerns.”

Former Vice President Joe Biden is being presented by his supporters as a return to normalcy, a response to the unorthodox tenure of the Trump administration. His plaudits describe the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee as honest, trustworthy, consistent. This is demonstrably untrue. The only aspect of Biden’s political career that would be aptly described as “consistent” is his willingness to flip-flop on significant positions and principles. Here are five major issues on which Biden has reversed his position over the years.
1. Violent Crime
With race relations worsening, and sections of cities like Minneapolis and Atlanta burning to the ground in the wake of “protests,” Joe Biden has been forced to cower to the demands of the far-left Black Lives Matter organization, even if it means denying both reality and his greatest political achievement.
As ranking minority member of the Senate Judiciary Committee since 1981, Joe Biden helped pass two bills that established <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/22/us/politics/joe-bidens-role-in-90s-crime-law-could-haunt-any-presidential-bid.html">mandatory minimums for drug offenses</a>. When he became chairman of the committee in 1987, he “told aides his goal was to enact legislation that would take a comprehensive approach to reducing crime” as the country battled with an ongoing violent crime epidemic. In 1994, President Clinton signed the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act into law. As the <a href="https://www.ncjrs.gov/txtfiles/billfs.txt">largest crime bill in the history of the United States</a>, it provided for 100,000 new police officers, $9.7 billion in funding for prisons, and $6.1 billion in funding for prevention programs.
When Clinton was questioned on this policy in 2016, he <a href="https://www.inquirer.com/philly/news/politics/20160408_webhead_goes_here.html">responded</a> with an answer rooted in reality. &#8220;Because of that bill we had a 25-year low in crime, a 30-year low in the murder rate, and because of that and the background-check law, a 46-year low in deaths of lives by gun violence and who do you think those lives were that mattered? Whose lives were?&#8221;
However, critics of the program often reference its impact on “mass incarceration,” with the Justice Policy Institute <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violent_Crime_Control_and_Law_Enforcement_Act#cite_note-32">stating</a> that “the Clinton Administration&#8217;s ‘tough on crime’ policies resulted in the largest increases in federal and state inmate populations of any president in American history.”
Amid the growing anti-police sentiment among the Left, Biden has chosen to abandon what is seen by many as the successful culmination of his fight against crime.
Biden, who once gave <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/05/joe-biden-papers-would-reveal-flip-flops-notable-policy-stances/">passionate speeches</a> on the Senate floor arguing that one could be a “progressive” and “lock the SOBs up” now states that it was a “<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/biden-apologizes-for-pushing-hardline-laws-on-crime-immigration-in-1990s-2019-1">big mistake when it was made</a>.”
To double down on his rejection of the bill and instead signal his fealty to the demands of the woke Left, Biden has recently <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/joe-biden-white-america-admit-systemic-racism/story?id=60524966">deflected</a> criticism for his role, stating that “There&#8217;s something we have to admit – not you – we, white America, has to admit, there&#8217;s still a systematic racism and it goes almost unnoticed by so many of us.”
For some reason, the fact that Biden helped build this system during his more than three decades-long senatorial career then failed to address it in a meaningful way during his 8 years as vice president goes “unnoticed” by his supporters.
2. China
One of the pillars of Donald Trump’s foreign policy, both as a candidate and as President, has been to rail against the threat posed by China.
In June of 2019, Biden <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/joe-biden-flip-flopping-key-policy-issues-2019-6">appeared to agree</a> with Trump’s general assessment, while simultaneously repackaging Trump’s very criticism as having provoked such tensions. (We should note that this flawed cyclic logic is being used as we speak to condemn Trump’s use of federal officers to quell the explosion of violence across the country.)
&#8220;We are in a competition with China. We need to get tough with China,” said Biden. “They are a serious challenge to us, and in some areas a real threat. And every single step that Donald Trump is taking is only exacerbating the challenge. While Trump is tweeting, China is making massive investments in technologies of the future. While Trump is name-calling, China is building roads, bridges, and high-speed rail. While Trump is pursuing a damaging and erratic trade war, without any real strategy, China is positioning itself to lead the world in renewable energy. While Trump is attacking our friends, China is pressing its advantage all over the world. So you bet I&#8217;m worried about China — if we keep following Trump&#8217;s path.&#8221;
Such sudden and vocal concern would shock anyone who heard Biden speak on the same subject just a few weeks earlier.
&#8220;China is going to eat our lunch? Come on, man,” he said. “They can&#8217;t even figure out how to deal with the fact that they have this great division between the China Sea and the mountains in the east — I mean the west. They can&#8217;t figure out how they&#8217;re going to deal with the corruption that exists within the system. They&#8217;re not bad folks, folks. But guess what? They&#8217;re not competition for us.&#8221;
For Biden, his inconsistent position regarding the United States’ most formidable enemy is deeply troubling, further plagued by accusations of impropriety regarding the business dealings of his unscrupulous son Hunter.
It’s one thing to have a bad foreign policy. It’s another to have two foreign policies.
3. Abortion
For decades, Biden voted in what would now be considered an anti-abortion manner.
In 1976 Joe Biden voted for the Hyde Amendment, which prevents the use of federal funds for abortion in almost all cases. He then <a href="https://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=103&amp;session=1&amp;vote=00295">voted to save it</a> in 1993. The Foreign Assistance Act of 1981 still contains a “<a href="https://fas.org/sgp/crs/row/R41360.pdf">Biden amendment</a>” which was <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/05/joe-biden-papers-would-reveal-flip-flops-notable-policy-stances/">added</a> “to ban American aid from being used in research related to abortions.” Biden advocated for the ability of states to overturn Roe vs. Wade, was in favor of the “Mexico City policy,” which prevented federal funds from being allocated to organizations which provided or expanded abortion services, and has voted for partial-birth abortion bans on two occasions.
With the dystopian celebration of abortion built into the foundation of the modern Democratic platform, the Joe Biden of the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s could never survive.
Aiming to pivot on the definition and value of life, Biden offered this <a href="https://www.vox.com/2019/6/22/18713603/joe-biden-hyde-amendment">vapid explanation</a> for his decision to oppose the Hyde Amendment at a Planned Parenthood event in 2019.
“I laid out a health care plan that’s going to provide federally funded health care for all women and women who now are denied even Medicare in their home states,” he explained. “It became really clear to me that although the Hyde Amendment was designed to try to split the difference here, to make sure women still had access, you can’t have access if everyone’s covered by a federal policy. That’s why at the same time I announced that policy, I announced that I could no longer continue to abide by the Hyde Amendment. That’s the reason.”
<a href="https://www.politico.com/story/2019/06/22/biden-roe-v-wade-2020-1376712">During that same event</a>, Biden stated that he would work to “enshrine into federal law the Roe v. WadeSupreme Court decision upholding abortion rights” — a verdict he had <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/04/28/progressives-biden-moved-left/">described</a> as “wrongly decided” in 1973, and that “went too far” in 1974.
When it comes to the subject of abortion, Biden’s history of opposition is as clear as the Left’s uncompromising attitude towards the “human right” to take the lives of unborn humans. This leaves him with no option but to answer questions on his clear “mixed record” with his trademark <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7170569/Biden-defends-record-womens-issues-flip-flop-Hyde-Amendment.html">confused vagary</a>. “First of all, I’m not sure about the &#8216;mixed record&#8217; part.”
4. Gay Marriage
When Biden discusses the subject of gay rights, we are often told <a href="https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/henrygomez/joe-biden-gay-marriage-equality">the story</a> of his father explaining that “Joey, it’s simple. They love each other” after the teenage Joe witnessed two men kissing in public. However, this sweet yet overly simplistic story is often used as a cover for a far more complicated history.
Speaking to a gay activist in 1973, Biden <a href="https://www.newspapers.com/clip/53510488/the-morning-news/">stated</a>, “My gut reaction is that they (homosexuals) are security risks but I must admit I haven’t given this much thought&#8230;I’ll be darned!”
In 1994, Biden voted to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/1994/08/02/us/senate-backs-cuts-for-schools-that-endorse-homosexuality.html">cut off funding</a> for schools which taught the acceptance of homosexuality, and in 1996, Biden <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/21/us/politics/biden-gay-rights-lgbt.html">voted in favor</a> of the Defense of Marriage Act, which blocked federal recognition of same-sex marriages. As recently as 2006, Joe Biden <a href="https://www.washingtonblade.com/2020/06/19/biden-opposes-same-sex-marriage-in-2006-clip-blasted-out-by-trump-campaign/">confirmed his position</a> that “marriage is between a man and a woman.”
Just a few years later, Biden was lauded for his “evolution” on the subject of gay rights when he appeared to go against the Obama administration by expressing that he was “<a href="https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/joe-bidens-gay-marriage-slip-up">comfortable</a>” with same-sex marriage.
“I am absolutely comfortable with the fact that men marrying men, women marrying women, and heterosexual men marrying women are entitled to the same exact rights,” he said. “All the civil rights, all the civil liberties. And quite frankly I don’t see much of a distinction beyond that.”
One must ask why, if Biden’s father was right in saying that “it’s simple,” he waited until the Democratic Party chose to institute a monumental shift and fully embraced the umbrella of issues beneath the LGBTQ+ banner to change his mind. Perhaps his other statement, “I haven’t given this much thought&#8230;I’ll be darned!” is more fitting?
5. Believe Women
Biden perfectly encapsulates the sporadic hypocrisy of the #MeToo movement. When Brett Kavanaugh was accused of multiple sexual assaults in 2016, memories of Justice Thomas’ confirmation hearings in 1991 resurfaced.
<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/25/us/politics/joe-biden-anita-hill.html">During that time</a>, Biden led an “all-white, all-male Judiciary Committee” as Anita Hill “was grilled in excruciatingly graphic detail.”
Years later, bending to the demands of the #MeToo movement in the aftermath of Justice Kavanaugh’s eerily similar confirmation, Biden sought to erase his involvement in Hill’s questioning by offering an <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/25/us/politics/joe-biden-anita-hill.html">apology</a>.
In 2019, when questioned on whether he believed Hill’s claims, Biden <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/joe-biden-when-a-woman-alleges-sexual-assault-presume-she-is-telling-the-truth/2018/09/17/7718c532-badd-11e8-a8aa-860695e7f3fc_story.html">pandered</a> to the absurd demand that we must “Believe All Women.”
“Oh, I thought she was telling the truth at the beginning. I really did,” said Biden. “For a woman to come forward in the glaring lights of focus, nationally, you’ve got to start off with the presumption that at least the essence of what she’s talking about is real, whether or not she forgets facts, whether or not it’s been made worse or better over time. But nobody fails to understand that this is like jumping into a cauldron.”
Oddly, when Tara Reade — a woman — jumped into a “cauldron” lit by the “glaring lights of focus” during a national presidential battle in March 2020 and accused Biden of sexual assault, she wasn’t believed.
Rejecting the presumption of truthfulness demanded by Biden, he personally <a href="https://apnews.com/2cf920b470ab3bad516b077689a9a085">denied</a> the allegations, stating that “it never, never happened.”
Biden is not the first, and presumably won’t be the last, Democrat to be accused of sexual assault. He may be guilty. He may be innocent. What we do know, however, is that when a politician like Biden utters ridiculous phrases like “Believe Women,” he won’t play by his own rules.
***
Biden believes that China is a harmless threat. Biden believes that Roe vs. Wade was wrongly decided but should also be codified into law. Biden believes that homosexuals are security risks who should have the right to marry. Biden believes that we should &#8220;lock the SOBs up&#8221; and that incarceration is evidence of &#8220;systemic racism.&#8221; Finally, Joe Biden believes some women. Pro-Biden politicos and media attempt to portray Biden as consistent, honest, and reliable to the American people. His record tells quite a different story.
