Top headlines for Saturday, May 6, 2023

We delve into the latest developments on the abortion debate in the United States, one year after a leaked draft Supreme Court decision on the issue set off a political earthquake. States have taken different approaches to abortion policy, with advocates on both sides calling for additional reforms in American politics. We also discuss how some of America's biggest companies are approaching Mother's Day by sending out trigger warnings and featuring pro-LGBT messaging on their websites. Then, we turn to a case where a federal agency has warned a Catholic hospital that it could lose its ability to serve vulnerable populations if it doesn't extinguish its sanctuary candle, which is a Catholic tradition. Finally, we explore the controversy surrounding Joshua Butler, an evangelical Christian pastor and author who resigned from the leadership of his Arizona megachurch after publishing a book titled Beautiful Union, in which he controversially claimed that sex is an icon of Christ and the church.
