The Conscience and the State
The wind howled and banged against the shutters, but the people inside didn't care. Despite the rain and thunder, the crowd just kept growing. One by one, they'd file in, taking off their dripping coats and finding a seat in the pews, more anxious about the other storm brewing in America than this one. It was April 3, 1968 in Memphis. And no one knew that the man they'd come to see -- Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. -- was about to give the last speech of his life. This one was different, people would say later. The ministers who'd heard him preach for years were convinced he'd never talked with so much passion. Close to tears at some points, and at other times unsteady, he imagined a world where God gave him the choice, "Martin Luther King, which age would you like to live in?" Rev. King ... (more)

The Next Abortion Battleground: Chemical Abortion

by Patrina Mosley

The Mifeprex abortion pill regimen is used for aborting babies that are up to 10 weeks old (see above image), at which point the baby already has a head, hands, feet, fingers, and toes. The baby also has a heartbeat and brain activity. The number of abortions being performed in the United States continues to decline annually and is currently at its lowest level since Roe v. Wade. Yet the rate of chemical abortions in the United States is at an all-time high. This rapid increase is primarily being driven by the abortion industry, which ... (more)

by Family Research Council

In the wake of the Equality Act's passage in the House of Representatives, Rep. Chris Stewart (R-Utah) has introduced H.R. 5331, the Fairness for All Act (FFA). FFA is supposed to be a grand compromise seeking to find a resolution to the firestorm of litigation and controversy that led up to and has only increased since the Supreme Court's opinion constitutionalizing same-sex marriage in Obergefell v. Hodges. However, despite having the best of intentions, FFA is an ill-advised and poorly-drafted bill that does not achieve its goal. FFA ... (more)

The group Future Majority did exactly that as part of their 2018 efforts to elect Democrats to Congress. Now groups like Future Majority are focused on denying President Trump re-election in 2020. Democrats have no ... (more)
