The persecution of Christians in Nigeria is on the rise and things are not looking good, many churches are using armed congregants for security in light of an influx of shootings across the U.S., some companies are looking into diversity, opportunity, and inclusion instead of diversity, equity, and inclusion, and we read through an African's perspective on the recent law against homosexuality in Uganda and what it means for us in the West.

An actor reacts appropriately to the removal of Biden from debates for the DNC, Christians and alcohol - what's the right way to proceed, Twitter under fire for tentatively blocking The Daily Wire's famous Walshy documentary What is a Woman?, and Armenians are celebrating historic Christian assassins bringing back to the fore questions regarding St. Augustine's longtime argument for Just War.

This episode is a bit of a late release, but it is important. After releasing a comment on Twitter about against abortion, I was attacked relentlessly by abortion advocates who spouted their usual arguments along with insults. Here, I begin to deal with their crap and refute the arguments they presented, which will continue in the next two episodes as well. Included are articles I found in my research. Some of them were used in the podcasts, others are additional reading.

P.S. The numbers discuss in the episode were found on various sites and the calculations were done by yours truly. There is gap between death rates and birth rates in our country, which makes abortion a threat to our continuance since it is a contributing factor to lesser birth rates, making it problem for everyone.

A feminist artist erected two Satanic statues in New York to celebrate RBG and abortion, radical Left democrats are now branding themselves abortion advocates and demanding we join the cult, an icon claims her abortion was a beautiful bore, and we look at some major critques of popular pro-choice arguments that show abortion is not "essential healthcare" as well as the story of a 19-year-old Canadian who died in connection with a common abortion pill.

Christians are being persecuted around the globe and their religious liberty severely limited, the House wants to (dis)respect marriage with their new bill, Christians should be very engaged in the political scene, and the major deficit of dads in the U.S. is having dangerous repercussions.

P.S. I was super tired when I recorded this episode. I re-recorded several sections and my responses were still sometimes not as coherent as I would have liked them to be. If you have any questions and just want to talk, feel free to email me at [email protected] or message me on Facebook anytime. Just promise to keep things respectful. The topics in all the episodes for this show are tough topics and emotions need to be kept at a low in order to have civil conversations. Blessings.

Young children in the UK are being taught about dominance and submission in sexual relationships, President Biden thinks it is better to be a gaffer than to tell the truth, Elizabeth Warren attacks pregnancy resource centers attempt to provide women and their children much needed aid, PCUSA reps (not all of them) promote anti-Semitic replacement theology, and a Berkley law professor thinks that men can get pregnant.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the articles examined, parents be warned that there are some things discussed in this program that you may not want your children to hear.
