/0 Comments/in , /by

A heart-wrenching letter from a 7 year old child in a domestic violence shelter in Texas has inspired many to donate in order to help those in dangerous situations. . .

Here’s what the letter said:

Dear Santa,

We had to leave our house. Dad was mad. We had to do all the chores. Dad got everything he wanted. Mom said it was time to leave and she would take us to a safer place where we don’t have to be scared.

I’m still nervous. I don’t want to talk to the other kids. Are you going to come this Christmas? We don’t have any of our stuff here. Can you bring some chapter books, a dictionary, and a compass and a watch? I also want a very, very, very good dad. Can you do that, too?

Hallmark Channel Reverses Course After Pulling Ad Featuring Homosexual Couple

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Hallmark Channel has reversed its decision to pull a wedding advertisement that features a lesbian couple kissing at the altar.

The channel decided to stop airing the ad for Zola, a wedding planning website, on Saturday after a group of conservative moms called “One Million Moms” complained that the commercial was not “family friendly.” The company claimed the move was “in line with our current policy, which includes not featuring political advertisements, offensive language, R-rated movie content, and many other categories.”

Zola, however, pushed back on the decision, saying, “The only difference between the commercials that were flagged and the ones that were approved was that the commercials that did not meet Hallmark’s standards included a lesbian couple kissing.” The company also stated it would no longer advertise with the Hallmark Channel.

/0 Comments/in , /by

More than one million people have signed a petition against a Netflix movie that implies Jesus Christ is gay.

“The First Temptation of Christ” is reportedly a satirical representation of Jesus Christ, his mother Mary, and his father Joseph, in which Jesus returns home for his birthday party with a friend named Orlando, according to the New York Daily News. The publication reports that Orlando continuously hints in the film that he and Jesus are more than friends. . .

The comedy group Porta dos Fundos (which translates to Back Door) created “The First Temptation of Christ” following their International Emmy Award-winning production of “The Last Hangover,” a movie which satirizes the biblical Last Supper, the last meal Jesus Christ shared with his disciples before he was crucified.

As of Friday afternoon, more than 1.4 million people had signed a Change.org petition demanding that the film be removed from Netflix and saying that the film “seriously offended Christians.” (Read more from “More Than a Million People Sign Petition Bashing Netflix Movie Implying Jesus Christ Is Gay” HERE)

Terrorists Who Shot up Kosher Market Intended to Attack Jewish School for Children

/0 Comments/in , /by

Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop said Friday that he believes the two suspects behind the Tuesday attack at a Jewish kosher market intended to target children at a Jewish school attached to the market. . .

The attack reportedly carried out by David Anderson and Francine Graham — who were both allegedly affiliated with the Black Hebrew Israelite movement — took the lives of at least six people, including a police officer and both suspects. . .

“It is pretty apparent that he goes to the adjacent door first and then turns,” Fulop said. “Secondly, it is pretty apparent from the amount of firepower and weapons he brought to that location. Clearly he had intentions of doing more damage than just murdering three people in a deli.”

Fulop promised the public that he would be forthcoming to the public with regard to any information about the attack.

“We will never know with 100 percent certainty as they are deceased, but based on those facts, it is pretty easy to conclude,” Fulop said.

But it wasn’t just the suit that set this child apart — when he opened his mouth, he spoke of his faith and credited the Lord for being the reason he still smiles after years in foster care. . .

Jonah, 12, sat down with WFAA-TV in Dallas to be featured on the station’s “Wednesday’s Child” segment, regular reports that “offer a glimpse into a child’s life in foster care who wants more than anything to be adopted.” . . .

The honor roll student spoke passionately during the interview about how God has carried him through tribulations and helps him keep a smile on his face despite the challenges he’s faced during his young life.

“He’s brought me through many, many things,” Jonah said of the Lord. “As far as abuse, before I came to CPS, he brought me through a lot…just, a lot, overall.”

Atheist Group ‘Bullies’ Public School Into Cutting Live Nativity From Christmas Show

/0 Comments/in , /by

An Oklahoma public elementary school removed its third-grade live Nativity scene from its annual Christmas production after receiving a threatening letter from an atheist group.

Christopher Line, staff attorney at the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF), wrote to F. Andrew Fugitt at the Center for Education Law that the school district was committing a “constitutional violation”:

A concerned Edmond Public Schools community member has reported that each year, third grade teachers at Chisholm Elementary have students rehearse a live nativity scene, which students then perform at the school’s holiday concert in December. We understand that Chisholm students who participate in the nativity play various roles, including Mary and Joseph, etc.

…

While a public school can hold holiday concerts, religious performances and instruction that emphasize the religious aspects of a holiday are prohibited … A live nativity performance celebrating the story of Jesus’s birth is precisely the sort of religious endorsement prohibited by the Establishment Clause.

Line pressed the school district to “ensure that future school-sponsored performances will not include nativity scenes and that District teachers will not promote religion through class assignments.” (Read more from “Atheist Group ‘Bullies’ Public School Into Cutting Live Nativity From Christmas Show” HERE)

Report: A Third of Independent Abortion Clinics in the United States Have Closed

/0 Comments/in , /by

Almost a third of the abortion clinics in the United States not affiliated with Planned Parenthood have closed over the course of the last seven years, according to a new report from the Abortion Care Network, which also says state-level abortion laws are partially behind the trend.

“Over the last decade, abortion clinics have been closing at an alarming rate,” the report claims. “Of those closures, the vast majority have been independent abortion care providers.”

The report breaks down abortion providers into four groups, with independent abortion clinics providing a 58% majority of abortion procedures, while Planned Parenthood is responsible for a 37% share. Doctor’s offices and hospitals together account for 4% of performed abortions. Furthermore, the report says, independent clinics represent only a quarter of the facilities offering abortion in the United States.

In 2012, the report says there were 510 non-Planned Parenthood abortion clinics operating in the United States. Since 2014, however, 136 clinics have closed down, while few others have opened, bringing the current total to 344, representing an overall decrease of over 32%. The report notes that a clinic is considered “closed” if it either closes entirely or stops providing abortions.

Also, the report finds that the trend of closures “threatens to make already-scarce abortion care beyond the first trimester increasingly difficult to access” and notes that 85% of the independent clinics that closed in 2018 and 2019 provided abortions after the first trimester.

The ACN finds one of the main reasons for the decreasing number of clinics is state-level pro-life laws, which make compliance expensive.

“Since 2010, anti-abortion politicians have passed more than 400 laws that attempt to make it too expensive or logistically impossible for abortion clinics to operate,” ACN executive director Nikki Madsen told CBS News in a story published on Wednesday. The report notes that independent abortion clinics “lack visibility, institutional support, and sustainable financial resources.”

The report also takes a jab at the wave of state-level abortion laws — such as fetal heartbeat legislation and bans on abortion based on sex, race, or disability — passed across the United States earlier this year. It notes that “several of the states that passed harmful restrictions this year are states where independent clinics play an integral role in providing abortion care.”

The report notes, for example, “Kentucky, North Dakota, and Mississippi only have one clinic remaining, and that clinic is independent,” while “in Louisiana and Alabama, the only remaining clinics are independent clinics and in Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Georgia, the only providers of in-clinic [abortions] are independent.” (For more from the author of “Report: A Third of Independent Abortion Clinics in the United States Have Closed” please click HERE)

Doctors Said Woman Would Be Blind and Deaf. Her Parents Rejected Abortion and She Is Healthy

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .Earlier this year, an Irish couple aborted their unborn baby after being told the baby tested positive for a potentially fatal fetal anomaly. Too late, they found out that the tests were wrong, and their aborted baby had been healthy. One can only guess how many other tragic cases there are like it.

Other parents have the wisdom to choose life for their unborn babies, understanding that their baby is a valuable human being, no matter what health problems they may have. . .

Catholic Philly reports the young woman shared her story Nov. 24 during the Pro-Life Union of Greater Philadelphia’s Stand Up for Life dinner.

[Rachel] Guy said she was diagnosed with a chromosomal abnormality at 22 weeks of pregnancy, and several doctors urged her mother to abort her. Doctors told her parents that she probably would be blind and deaf and have intellectual disabilities, she said. . .

Her initial doctors’ predictions never came true. Today, Guy can both see and hear. Several years ago, she said she wrote to those doctors, telling them that she forgives them for recommending that she be aborted. (Read more from “Doctors Said Woman Would Be Blind and Deaf.
