Abortion Gravy Train Hits Turkey Week Snag
|
|
When pro-lifers are counting their blessings this Thanksgiving, they can add something else to the list: the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. In another win for President Trump's legacy on judges, the full Fifth Circuit gave the green light to three states to defund Planned Parenthood in Medicaid. Texas and Louisiana had been fighting to cut ties with the abortion giant for years -- only to be slapped down by the courts. Now, thanks to four new Trump judges, the bench had just enough common sense to give state leaders that right.

Georgia on Everyone's Minds
|
|
The two Georgia Senate seats aren't up for a popular vote, but if they were, a new poll says, America wants the GOP in control. The survey, from Harvard CAPS-Harris, is an interesting barometer of what voters think of the two parties heading into January 5's run-off. Fifty-six percent of the country wants the Senate in Republican hands -- compared to just 44 percent who think the Democrats should control both chambers.

Legislative bans on sexual orientation change efforts (SOCE) -- usually, but not exclusively, targeted at therapy for minors offered by licensed mental health providers -- have spread from California to 19 other states, as well as dozens of municipalities, since 2012. These bills are a shocking and unprecedented assault upon freedom of speech and religion, as well as upon ethical principles such as client autonomy and client-therapist privacy.
