Podcast: Assisted Suicide Bill STALLED in MN Legislature! (Legislative Update)
|
We’ve told you about a LOT of extreme bills at the Minnesota legislature this year. But which ones are moving forward, which ones are in trouble, and which ones are STOPPED? Moses gives a comprehensive overview and breaks down the anti-life, anti-family agenda that progressives in St. Paul are pushing. Then, Grace reveals a Minnesota teacher *openly bragging* on social media that her goal is to confuse elementary students about their gender (HT Alpha News). Don’t miss this episode of the Family Beacon podcast - get the facts, stand for TRUTH!

CAE: MN Voters Oppose Sex Change Operations for Minors |
Via Center for the American Experiment:
In an exclusive Thinking Minnesota poll, conducted the last three days of February, our pollster asked 500 registered voters in the state this question: Based on what you have seen, read, or heard, do you support or oppose sex change
operations for minors, that is children under the age of 18?
Opposition is overwhelming. Overall opposition leads by 67 percent to 22 percent in favor. For those voters with strong opinions, 53 percent of voters are strongly opposed to the idea to 10 percent strongly in favor.
Opposition is found within every political party, even Democrats. Republicans are opposed, 95 to 3. Independents are opposed, 67 to 16. Democrats are opposed by a slight margin, 42 to 41 percent. By age, gender, and geography, there is no group in favor of the practice.

Prayer at the Capitol - March 23, 2023 - 2PM |
It's time to bring God's light to the darkness at the Minnesota legislature! A prayer meeting is being organized for Thursday, March 23, at the Capitol in St. Paul. Here's a message from the organizer:
Please, anyone who can, meet our family at the Capitol to pray for Minnesotans and it's leaders, for wise laws to be passed and spiritual strongholds to be brought down, so many will see, repent, and turn to Christ and be rescued from sins and receive eternal life, then live as lighthouses for God's Kingdom. Thursday, March 23, from noon to 2pm. Meet at the front of the State Capitol on the upper mall area. Pray for good weather and dress for the weather. Bring your Bibles. We will walk around, pray and read Scripture aloud in prayer and encouragement. Please respect Capitol rules and grounds, pick anything up you may drop, and park in approved parking spots. We are so excited to join in prayer for so many lives in Minnesota and beyond, with whomever can make it! Email [email protected] for more information. |

HOLY FAMILY CATHOLIC CHURCH FATHER MOORMAN HALL 5900 W. LAKE ST., ST. LOUIS PARK, MN 55416
Someday when abortion is illegal and unthinkable, will you or your grandchildren be able to look back and know that, when you lived in a city where thousands of children were being killed every year while government officials were suppressing the real help available to pregnant women, you were one of the courageous people who did something about it? Attend this seminar and learn how to save these babies and help their families by peacefully reaching out in love to those entering abortion centers.
Not sure whether sidewalk counseling is for you? Come and see! Christians of all denominations are encouraged to attend this free seminar. Sidewalk prayer supporters are also needed and welcome to attend. Presented by Debra Braun, who has been sidewalk counseling for 40 years, Rev. Brian Walker, who has 13 years of sidewalk counseling experience, and Thomas Wilkin, who has trained and mentored many new sidewalk counselors. If you can hand someone a brochure, you can help save a life! For more information or to register, contact: [email protected] or call (651) 797-6366 |

ALERT: Take Action on Yet Another Extreme Abortion Bill |
Tell Minnesota Legislators: Vote NO On the "How To" Abortion Act
The Minnesota House could hold a floor vote soon on HF91 (read the bill HERE), the "How To" bill that is meant to accompany the PRO Act and eviscerates Minnesota's pro-life statutes, such as the Born Alive Infants Protection Act, which ensures that babies born alive during an abortion are provided with all necessary medical care. The bill has also progressed in the Minnesota Senate. Please take time to tell your Minnesota legislators to vote NO. Learn more about this bill here.
