The Supreme Court extended a pause yesterday afternoon on a lower-court ruling that sought to limit access to mifepristone, a commonly used abortion pill. Why is the Supreme Court ruling on a “right” Congress has never established in law? This question is obviously relevant to millions of unborn babies whose lives hang in the balance. But it is also a symptom of a deeper narrative that explains why America allows elective abortion at all.

Disneyland’s first official Pride Nite will be this June, featuring a parade with Mickey Mouse and other characters “dressed in special attire,” dance parties, and special dining and merchandise. Participants are encouraged to “proudly display your true colors and be your unique and fabulous self.” 

Every day’s news brings more examples of our society’s rejection of biblical morality. But like a river that erodes the shoreline we can see and the underwater banks we cannot, the cultural currents of our day are undermining our democracy in ways that are less apparent but no less foundational.

J. P. and Paul Norden each lost a leg in the bombings and now utilize a prosthetic leg. As a result, their family started a foundation, A Leg Forever, which so far has helped sixty people who’ve lost limbs pay for prosthetics, wheelchairs, and bedside care. Speaking of the bombing, J. P. says, “In a lot of ways, it changed me for the better.” The Norden brothers typify this fact: most things, events, and experiences can be used for bad or for good. As New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman points out in his fascinating recent article, “America, China and a Crisis of Trust,” this is a principle of enormous geopolitical significance.

Four people were killed an dozens more were injured as a mass shooting during a Sweet 16 birthday party Saturday night in Alabama.  Because mass shootings occur far too frequently in the US, many tend to gloss over the tragedy.  The same could be said of our country's reaction to abortion, and a recent surprise appearance of Vice President Kamala Harris at a pro-abortion rally speaks to this fact.  What can Christians do today to "stand up and fight" for the victims of abortion?

A Virginia high school teacher has been instructed by school officials that she must remove a Bible verse from the signature of her work email messages. The school district’s position is entirely consistent with the cultural narrative of our day in which religion, to the degree it is tolerated at all, is to be privatized. Despite victory after victory for religious liberty in the courts, it remains the cultural consensus that religious speech must be treated differently than any other kind and must be confined to the personal rather than the public. Why?

Millions of lives could be saved by a groundbreaking set of new vaccines for cancer and a range of other conditions according to Dr. Paul Burton, chief medical officer of Moderna. In contrast, the Washington Post reports that “research with exotic viruses risks a deadly outbreak” due to the proliferation of biocontainment testing facilities across the globe.
