August 23, 2024 Edition

Happy Friday!

There’s been a lot of doom and gloom lately, so I’m excited to share mostly hopeful news with you, along with a disheartening update from the DNC. The common theme from this edition of the newsletter is that the victories we are seeing now are only temporary if Kamala Harris wins the presidency. And the troubling news we are seeing will only get worse. 

We are only 74 days from the election! And only 54 days until early voting. Make sure you are registered and have a plan to vote! In the next few weeks, we are excited to share Election resources for you to share with your audience and community as well!  

Confirmed Run2Win Speaker: Andrew Walker

Frontline is thrilled to announce Dr. Andrew Walker as a keynote speaker for this year’s Run2Win Conference. As the Associate Dean and Associate Professor of Christian Ethics and Public Theology at Southern Seminary, Dr. Walker brings a wealth of knowledge and commitment to the intersection of faith and public life.

Author of critical works such as "Faithful Reason: Natural Law Ethics for God’s Glory and Our Good" and "God and the Transgender Debate", Dr. Walker is a pivotal voice in Christian ethics and public theology. His insights challenge and inspire Christians to engage thoughtfully with contemporary cultural and political issues.

Dr. Walker also co-hosts The Bully Pulpit podcast, where he and fellow Christian thought leaders offer bold, biblical perspectives on politics and culture.

Don’t miss your chance to hear from Dr. Walker at the leading conservative gathering of the year.

It's Time: Stay Tuned for Frontline Presidential Endorsement

At Frontline, we are a Christian organization with a conservative worldview, committed to principles over partisanship. We don't shy away from criticizing a political party or politician when they fail to stand for what is right. Even as Election Day approaches, we will continue to call on our nation to expect more from these deeply flawed candidates.

We will not be cheerleaders, but we will share our position about this election and how we feel a Christian should vote. There is a clear choice, and we will be making that announcement in the coming days. While we do not think it will be much of a mystery, we do encourage you to stay tuned and share our perspective with those who may be struggling with how to be a bold Christian witness this election season.

The Biden-Harris Radical Title IX Rewrite REJECTED!

Last week, the Supreme Court rejected the Biden-Harris administration's radical changes to Title IX, which had just taken effect on August 1st. These changes expanded the definition of "sex" to include gender identity and sexual orientation, compelling schools that receive federal funding to allow biological male students to participate in girls' sports and access female-only spaces.

Background on the Title IX Battle:

• Implementation: You may remember that despite significant opposition, the new Title IX rules had gone into effect at the start of this month. This raised concerns about the implications for girls' privacy and fairness in sports.
• State Response: Georgia, together with Florida, Alabama, South Carolina, and 22 other states, challenged the federal overreach. Initially, a federal judge rejected the states' request to block the rule. However, the Atlanta appeals court put a temporary hold on enforcing these changes in the coalition states.
• Current Status: Thanks to the Supreme Court's decision, the enforcement of these rewritten rules is now blocked, protecting girls' sports and private spaces across the US! 

Keep in mind, this significant victory is at risk if Kamala Harris is elected this November. We must mobilize voters across Georgia to keep this win secure and ensure our girls' protections remain intact.

We would like to mention our appreciation to Governor Brian Kemp, who continues to be outspoken on this issue, Lt. Governor Burt Jones, who oversaw the passage of legislation out of the Senate to protect our girls, and Attorney General Chris Carr, who is our tip-of-the-spear fighting the legal battle against the overreach of the Biden Regime.

A Monumental Stand Against Radical Gender Ideology

Last week marked a pivotal moment in the fight against the harmful and radical gender ideology that's infiltrated much of the medical community. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons, representing an overwhelming 92% of all board-certified plastic surgeons in the United States, took a courageous stand. They refused to endorse “gender-transition” surgeries for minors—a monumental decision that bucks the trend of nearly every major medical group.

Instead of succumbing to the prevailing groupthink that pushes experimental and irreversible procedures on our children, they chose to uphold the fundamental medical principle: "do no harm."

Dr. Scott Bradley Glasburg, President of the Plastic Surgery Foundation, emphasized their commitment to evidence-based medicine, "As members of the multidisciplinary care team, we have a responsibility to maintain a robust, evidence-based informed consent process," Dr. Glasburg stated. He further noted that "the current research on chest and genital surgeries for adolescents with gender dysphoria isn't strong enough to support any definitive recommendations from our society."

We are hoping that more medical groups will follow in these brave footsteps, prioritizing the long-term health, well-being, and innocence of our children over ideological conformity.

Pro-Life Laws Lead to Significant Decline in Abortions

We have more hopeful news to share! Last week, the Society of Family Planning, a liberal organization, released its latest #WeCount data, revealing that states with robust pro-life laws have seen substantial reductions in abortion rates following the Dobbs decision. In Texas alone, there was a decrease of 64,710 abortions. In Georgia, we followed with a decrease of 39,245, and Tennessee, Louisiana, and Alabama also saw significant declines, collectively saving hundreds of thousands of lives.

The latest data update sheds light on the impact of pro-life laws, showing both progress and challenges. Although the national monthly total of abortions is continuing to rise due to increases in telehealth and abortion pills, states with robust pro-life laws have seen significant declines. For instance, the most protective pro-life states have successfully reduced abortions, collectively preventing about 9,907 abortions each month post-Dobbs. This demonstrates that proactive legislation can and does effectively save lives. However, the widespread use of abortion pills like Mifepristone is underminding these life-saving efforts, meaning the fight is far from over. 

Please note, however, that this data underscores two realities. First, the current “follow your heart” and “leave it to the states” position of the Republican Party and its nominee, Donald Trump, is utterly insufficient. We can celebrate progress in states, but, as leftist states do a full embrace of abortion, there will remain many babies whose lives aren’t saved - the location of their death simply changes. Second, it’s important to remember that the  numbers on a page aren’t theoretical. The represent innocent human lives, and our work remains critical until the number reaches zero.

Earlier this year, we republished our resource, "The Church's Moment: A Call for God’s People to Engage for Life in a Post-Roe World," which touches on these monumental changes. It also provides a concise roadmap for Christian engagement in this ongoing battle for life.

Planned Parenthood at the DNC

As we observe the happenings at the Democratic National Convention, it is impossible to ignore the barbarism of human sacrifice occurring there. Outside the convention, Planned Parenthood set up a mobile “clinic,” offering free vasectomies and abortions. Over just two days, this death mobile ended 25 human lives. If you weren't already convinced that we are in a battle between good and evil, this should be all the evidence you need. 

This is grotesque, this is evil, this is sickening. And, this is what the Harris-Walz ticket is running on. Abortion has been an even greater theme of their convention than their oft-mentioned desire to put sexual books in front of children.

Make no mistake about it, this is what Kamala Harris will fight to expand if she becomes President: abortion-on-demand, abortions up to birth, infants left to die after failed abortions, and celebrations of abortion across the nation. For the sake of hundreds of thousands of lives, we cannot let the Harris-Walz ticket win.

Listen Up: Latest Episode of the From the Frontline Podcast

With all of the controversy surrounding IVF recently, the conversation in our latest podcast episode with Katy Faust and Cole Muzio is extremely clarifying. 

Cole and Katy, a formidable advocate for children's rights and author of "Raising Conservative Kids in a Woke City," discuss the complex issues surrounding in vitro fertilization (IVF), the impact of modern reproductive technologies on children's rights, and the necessity of a child-centric approach in policy-making. They delve into the philosophical and ethical implications of IVF and how current policies affect the very definition of what it means to be human.
