Focus on the Family President Opposes the Supreme Court Nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson

By: Jim Daly

Americans have been watching and listening with interest to the ongoing confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson. A federal appeals court judge and the first black woman to be nominated to the High Court, President Biden’s pick to replace retiring Justice Stephen Breyer possesses a highly decorated résumé.

But an academically and professionally accomplished biography doesn’t necessarily equate to suitability for the Supreme Court of the United States.

During the past three days of spirited questioning from members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Judge Jackson has confirmed suspicions that she subscribes to an expansive and progressive view of the Constitution. In other words, she believes it’s acceptable to make the law say whatever you want the law to say.

Indiana Governor Vetoes Bill to Protect Girls Sports – While Delaware Legislature Considers ‘Fairness in Women’s Sports Act’
By: Jeff Johnston

Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb vetoed a bill that would have protected girls and women’s sports from males who “transition” to live as if they were female.

HB 1041 would have amended the state’s education code to include the following:

“A male, based on a student’s biological sex at birth in accordance with the student’s genetics and reproductive biology, may not participate on an athletic team or sport designated under this section as being a female, women’s, or girls’ athletic team or sport.”

The measure was passed by the Indiana House, 66 to 30, and by the Senate, 32 to 18.

In a letter explaining his move, the governor said that protecting the integrity and fairness of women’s sports was “a worthy cause for sure,” but he cited concerns with the legislation. He said the measure’s grievance provisions – for girls harmed by boys participating in girls sports – would be difficult to maintain consistently and fairly.

Another Faith-Based Foster Care Agency Wins in Michigan

By: Bruce Hausknecht

The state of Michigan has agreed to settle a religious freedom discrimination lawsuit brought by Catholic Charities West Michigan in 2019 over the state’s attempt to force it to place children with same-sex couples, contrary to the agency’s religious beliefs about marriage and the need of children for a married mom and dad.

As part of the settlement, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services will allow the agency to continue placing children only with a married mom and dad, and the department has agreed to pay Catholic Charities $250,000 to cover its attorneys’ fees spent in the case.

This is now the second case this year to be settled in favor of faith-based foster care and adoption agencies in Michigan, following a settlement between the state and St. Vincent Catholic Charities in Buck v. Gordon.

Both settlements can be attributed to last year’s unanimous U.S. Supreme Court decision in Fulton v. Philadelphia, which upheld the right of a Philadelphia Catholic foster care agency to be free from the city’s religious discrimination for choosing to place children only with a married mom and dad.

The Kindest Person My Son Knows is the Mother He’s Never Met
[link removed]

By: Paul Batura

As we drove about town recently, I posed a question to each of our three boys:

“Who is the kindest person you know?”

Without missing a beat, Will, our happy eleven-year-old replied, “My birthmother.”

“But Will,” one of his brothers countered. “You’ve never met her.”

Diagnosed with severe dyslexia, Will is whip smart and an off-the-chart auditory learner. It bothers him that he can’t read like his siblings and friends. His younger brother is also dyslexic, but not to the same extent. But he makes up for it by reading as much as he can and listening to books all day long.

Like many other children with dyslexia, Will’s interests lean toward the creative. Homeschooled since kindergarten, he attends a welding class one day a week and is regularly forging all kinds of creations for himself, his family and his friends.

The summer of Will’s adoption, our family had been matched with a birthmother up in Denver. We walked through the final three months of the pregnancy with the young woman, eagerly anticipating the child’s arrival in early August. Shortly after her boy was born, the young woman changed her mind on the adoption and decided to parent the child.

How to Respond to ‘Trans’ and Gender Ideology? Simple: Live Not by Lies

By: The Daily Citizen

At the precise moment of his arrest and exile from Soviet Russia in 1974, the celebrated literary dissident Alexander Solzhenitsyn released a document that was as powerful as it was brief: Live Not By Lies.

At the precise moment when so many are speaking plain truth today – saying 2+2=4 – and getting kicked off popular social media platforms for doing so, Solzhenitsyn’s words are deeply relevant and essential.

It was the great novelist’s simple and profound answer for how his people could resist the soul-crushing tyranny under which they lived. It is our answer today as well.

Communist ideology re-fashioned basic reality in a way the masses knew to be false, giving established words new meaning for political and ideological purposes. Dissent from the new order was not tolerated. Citizens were required, through excruciating political, economic, and ideological pressure, to speak and give assent to a carefully constructed, but wholly false reality. The people wrongly believed they controlled no real levers of power.

Does this sound like anything you recognize in culture today?

But Solzhenitsyn told his fellow citizens, and us today, they possessed the greatest power of all: the individual choice to refuse to live by lies.
