The Groups behind Ohio's Issue 1 Favor Child Trans Surgeries, Abortion, Prostitution, and Open Borders
by Ben Johnson
A constitutional amendment that would guarantee abortion until birth is being supported by a coalition of abortionists, transgender activists, and left-wing radicals who believe in transgender surgeries for minors, legalizing prostitution, abolishing police and prisons, erasing the U.S. border, and returning Mount Rushmore to tribal activists who see the monument as "an international symbol of white supremacy." One of its key leaders boasts of "working on destigmatizing and uplifting sex work."

New Speaker Mike Johnson Attacked for Believing Basic Christian Doctrine
by David Closson
On Wednesday, after three weeks of dysfunction following the ouster of former-Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), Rep. Mike Johnson of Louisiana was elected as the 56th Speaker of the House. Johnson's elevation to the office caps a frenetic period in which Republicans considered multiple candidates before coalescing around the four-term congressman. Although Johnson's unexpected rise to the speakership was welcomed by conservatives, the Left has predictably been apoplectic in denouncing Speaker Johnson's long-standing social conservative views.

As U.S. Strikes Iran-Linked Targets, Graham Urges Direct Action against Regime
by Dan Hart
On Thursday, the U.S. launched multiple strikes against Iran-linked targets in Syria, which military officials say are in retaliation for drone attacks that targeted American military bases in the region.

As Government Shutdown Looms, Speaker Johnson Has 'Hit the Ground Running': Congressman
by Sarah Holliday
With government funding set to expire on November 17, the clock is ticking for Republicans to pass spending bills before the next government shutdown. But newly elected Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-La.) is already hard at work. Within 30 hours of being named speaker, Johnson managed to pass spending bill H.R. 4394, the Energy and Water Appropriations Act. This is just the fourth of 12 appropriations bills Republicans seek to pass to "better the American people" and "put pressure" on President Joe Biden and congressional Democrats.

Abortion: The Unintended Consequence of Shifting Mores on Sex
by David Closson
Over the summer, the Thriving Center of Psychology published an explosive study that found a shift in marriage expectations among Gen Z and millennials.

Although these statistics are not altogether surprising for a post-Christian culture, the survey's findings demonstrate how modern sexual mores represent a significant challenge to the pro-life movement.

This reality brings to light the importance of teaching children accurate history, natural law, and, for Christians, a biblical worldview.
