  • Pro-Life Leader Handcuffed, Activists Harassed at Presidential Debate | The Mark Harrington Show | 8-2-19
    This week, on Tuesday and Wednesday, Created Equal protested at the Presidential Debate in Detroit, MI.  What we encountered from Detroit police was nothing short of police state tactics used to censor our pro-life views. In the name of “safety,” our rights were routinely violated several times by law enforcement eventually culminating in the handcuffing of Created Equal President Mark Harrington.
    On at least four different occasions in the span of a few hours, our pro-life views were forcefully suppressed by Detroit police while other more politically correct speech was protected.
    Detroit police are caught on film saying:
    “Let it be unconstitutional, then.”
    “I can’t have a Boston bomber!”
    “You’re going to jail!”
    “This is not Burger King.” Apparently, a reference to not getting to “have it our way.”
    Police forced us to conduct our outreach several blocks away from the Fox Theatre and nowhere near persons who came to attend the debate.
    Mark Harrington said, “By threat of arrest police compelled us to be penned up in nowhere land while more liberal protesters were permitted to express themselves undeterred. False accusations of trespass, disorderly conduct, and violating a legal order, among other equally spurious allegations, were used to bully us into submission. We are now evaluating our legal options in response to this blatant infringement of our First Amendment rights.”
    Detroit is a liberal, pro-abortion bastion. At one point an officer said his orders to restrict us “came from on high.” In other words, the city of Detroit was out to protect pro-abortion presidential candidates from protesters. 
    Created Equal supports law enforcement. We also understand that the government can place reasonable time, place, and manner restrictions on speech. However, those restrictions must be tailored in a way to be minimally restrictive to free expression. Resigning pro-life activists to an obscure and non-visible location is not reasonable or minimally restrictive.
    On this episode of The Mark Harrington Show, Mark discusses the police harassment and being handcuffed at the Presidential Debate.

  • Why Protest the Presidential Debates? | The Mark Harrington Show | 7-25-19
    hy Protest the Presidential Debates? | The Mark Harrington Show | 7-25-19
    Why should Christians be activists? Should they protest injustice?
    The problem of the Priest and Levite in the Parable of Good Samaritan was they were busy doing religious things but ignored the beating victim by passing by on the other side.
    They were attitudinally pro-life but not behaviorally pro-life.
    1 Cor. 8:1 says; “Knowledge makes arrogant, but love edifies.”
    Having the right answers for injustice alone is cold comfort to the victims.  That knowledge must be put into action.
    Most Christians would say they are pro-life. But the church has failed in discipling the nation, and hence, the culture is suffering the worst manifestation of that failure - abortion.
    Jesus said in Mt. 5:13 – “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.”
    We are being trampled underfoot despite being given the great commission.
    Instead, liberals and non-Christians are leading the moral revolution. Every institution is dominated by secularists (the arts, Hollywood, academia, science, media, medicine, etc.).
    Why? Because Christians have vacated these acumens and left a vacuum.
    Jesus said we need to “occupy until I come.” The church should have influence and control over every aspect of life.
    We cannot expect to ask non-believers to the job that only Christians are commissioned to do.
    On today’s episode of The Mark Harrington Show, Mark talks about the 5Ps of Activism and provides a way forward in the culture wars.
    Mark uses scripture to explain that the church must be: Public, Principled, Prophetic, Persecuted, and Persistent.

  • Planned Parenthood in Turmoil: Interview with Troy Newman of Operation Rescue | The Mark Harrington Show | 7-18-19

    Planned Parenthood in Turmoil: Interview with Troy Newman of Operation Rescue | The Mark Harrington Show | 7-18-19

    The abortion giant Planned Parenthood (PP) is in a “no Wen situation” after firing President Leanna Wen.

    According to reports, Wen was fired because she wants a more aggressively pro-abortion activist as its leader as it heads into the crucial 2020 presidential election.

    Her departure followed a series of negotiations that appeared to end acrimoniously on Tuesday. In a Twitter post, Dr. Wen said her fate had been decided at a “secret meeting,” which the organization disputed.

    She later issued a statement saying she was “leaving because the new board chairs and I have philosophical differences over the direction and future of Planned Parenthood.”

    She believed “the best way to protect abortion care is to be clear that it is not a political issue but a health care one, and that we can expand support for reproductive rights.”

    “It’s probably no coincidence that Wen was fired the day after the Trump Administration’s Protect Life Rule went into effect after the Ninth Circuit delivered Planned Parenthood a huge defeat,” said Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue. “It is obvious that Planned Parenthood’s trope about abortion being only three percent of their so-called healthcare services was a smokescreen, The Board just proved that Planned Parenthood is about abortion. Period.”

  • Love Thy Body: Q and A with Dr. Nancy Pearcey | The Mark Harrington Show | 7-10-19
    In this episode Created Equal staff, and interns ask questions of popular author, intellectual and apologist Dr. Nancy Pearcey.
    Questions were asked such as:
    “What is coming next in the moral revolution?”
    “What are good questions to ask in street evangelism?”
    “How would you talk to someone with a nihilistic worldview?”
    “Should we use transgender pronouns?”
    Formerly an agnostic, Pearcey studied in Heidelberg, Germany, in the early 1970s, and in Switzerland at L’Abri Fellowship under Francis Schaeffer. She earned a BA from Iowa State University, an MA from Covenant Theological Seminary, and pursued graduate work in history of philosophy at the Institute for Christian Studies in Toronto.
    In Love Thy Body: Answering Hard Questions about Life and Sexuality, Pearcey goes beyond politically correct talking points to offer a riveting exposé of the dehumanizing secularist ethos that shapes the critical moral and socio-political issues of our day.
