Pastor Brunson: Home, Free
There are so many words I could use to describe the last 72 hours, but there's one that I keep returning to -- grateful. When I touched down in Turkey on Thursday to see Pastor Andrew Brunson, no one -- least of all me -- knew what to expect. Pastor Brunson had been on trial before. And although the international pressure on Turkey, led by the U.S., was building, there was no guarantee that this outcome would be any different from the three previous hearings. Praise God that after two long years, it was. There were times in the courtroom when things looked grim. After hours of testimony, Turkish officials read a 62-page indictment that recommended Pastor Brunson be taken out of house arrest and thrown back in prison for 30 more years. At that point, the anxiety and fear was palpable. ... (more)

California's Campus Abortion Mandate is Bad Model Legislation

by Patrina Mosley

The California bill SB 320 would have required the state's 34 public universities with on-campus student health centers to make abortion pills available on campus to more than 400,000 female students by January 1, 2022. SB 320 passed both chambers and was recently vetoed by the Governor. This is significant due to the fact that this bill would have become the first of its kind in the country and would have served as a model for other states to turn their student health centers into abortion clinics. Legislation like SB 320 shows a reckless ... (more)

by Travis Weber

Travis Weber is Vice President for Policy at Family Research Council. This article appeared in The Federalist on October 3, 2018. For the sake of our political system, we must re-embrace the balance of power the Constitution originally envisioned. If there is anything our country has learned from the hype, drama, and antics surrounding Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearing, it is that the Supreme Court is far too important in our nation’s political system. The high price we pay for politicizing the confirmation ... (more)
