| Planned Parenthood, ACLU Fight to Keep Child Marriage Legal |
| by Suzanne Bowdey |
| If you think child brides are the stuff of faraway cultures, think again. In 2017, child marriage was legal in all 50 U.S. states. Only recently have survivors started chipping away at the practice, using their nightmarish stories to put a stop to the abuse of (mostly) young girls. California was next in line to outlaw the horror, until a shocking number of national groups swooped in to keep the under-18 unions legal. Who are they and how can they justify their crusade? Answer: social extremists with one goal - protecting teenage abortion and transgenderism. |

| I Will 'Stand in the Gap': Chino Valley School President Defies State AG, Death Threats over Parental Rights |
| by Ben Johnson |
| If LGBTQ activists thought their threats - legal or illegal - would make Christian school board president Sonja Shaw back down, they guessed wrong. Shaw led the Chino Valley Unified School District (CVUSD) in California to require that teachers inform parents within three days if their children begin to identify as transgender. Eerily specific death threats soon poured in. While many sources of these violent messages remain unsolved, the Democratic Attorney General of California announced he is investigating the school district. |

| 'Barbie': A Gen X Review of the Ultimate Millennial Movie |
| by Meg Kilgannon |
| Two of our daughters and I planned to see "Barbie" soon after its release. I was curious, and the girls were excited. Verdict: One loved the movie, one hated it, and I fell asleep. Twice. I guess I'm too old for a 9:10 p.m. Thursday night showing with 30 minutes of previews. So the daughter who loved it and I went back for another try, during daylight hours with a caffeinated beverage for insurance. This time, it was my turn to love it. |

| 'Not Settled': AAP Commissions Review of Science on Gender Reassignment Procedures |
| by Joshua Arnold |
| The American Academy of Pediatricians (AAP) "authorized development of an expanded set of guidance for pediatricians based on a systematic review of the evidence" on gender reassignment procedures, the organization announced Friday. "I think that they're succumbing to a bit of pressure," said Dr. Jennifer Bauwens, director of Family Research Council's Center for Family Studies, on "Washington Watch." "We certainly are seeing a number of lawsuits that are coming out from brave young men and women who are saying that how much damage this has done." |
