Brad Mattes is president of Life Issues Institute which was founded in 1991 to serve the educational needs of the pro-life movement. Brad is the host of Life Issues, a daily radio commentary, also the weekly Straight Talk on Life Issues and has produced numerous radio specials standing for life.--There's a lot of misinformation being communicated throughout our nation. Right up front we need to be clear. The intentional killing of a baby in the womb is not healthcare. It is murder. The Bible is very clear when it says that God hates the hands that shed innocent blood yet from coast-to-coast there are politicians that are making abortion the centerpiece of their campaigns.--Brad noted how research shows that over 95- of all abortions are done for social or economic reasons. This means they were not required for the life-health of the mother, rape or incest. Many women are also forced-coerced into having an abortion. So he believes we need to stand by and support women when they're facing an unexpected pregnancy and not tell them that the answer is to kill their child. --There's also a lot of misinformation being disseminated about the abortion pill. Although women are told it's not a baby, this procedure is chemical abortion. When the baby passes from their body they see this child and it's at that point they realize they were told a lie. This is causing not only babies to be victims but expectant mothers as well.

It's often been referred to as the trial of the century. It occurred in July of 1925 in Dayton, Tennessee. It's formally known as- The State of Tennessee v. John Thomas Scopes but is more commonly referred to as The Scopes Monkey Trial. --Joining Jim to discuss this issue was Dr. Jerry Bergman, author of the book, The Other Side of the Scopes Monkey Trial. Dr. Bergman is a multi-award-winning teacher and author. He's taught biology, biochemistry, anatomy, genetics and other courses for over 40 years at the University of Toledo Medical College, Bowling Green State University and other colleges. His nine degrees include a doctorate from Wayne State University in Detroit. The 1,026 college credit hours he has earned is the equivalent to almost 20 master's degrees. He has over 1,800 publications in both scholarly and popular science journals which have been translated into 13 languages. His books, which include chapters he has authored, are in over 2,400 college libraries in 65 countries. --According to Dr. Bergman, the American Civil Liberties Union -ACLU-, was aware of a law passed that stated that in public schools, you couldn't teach theories which contradicted the biblical account of creation. The ACLU didn't appreciate that because human evolution is a major plank in their worldview. They wanted to go to court but they needed a case so they asked for volunteers. Scopes was asked to volunteer in Dayton, Tennessee. The thought was that it would bring attention to the city as it wasn't doing well due to the fact that a lot of industry had moved out. So in the end, the trial was about creation vs. evolution.

If you pay attention, you can often spot the compulsion by various groups and individuals who desire to bring about global control over every nation on earth. One such effort involves the U.N. Summit of the Future that is underway.--The United Nations describes it this way- -The Summit of the Future is a high-level event, bringing world leaders together to forge a new international consensus on how we deliver a better present and safeguard the future. --Effective global cooperation is increasingly critical to our survival but difficult to achieve in an atmosphere of mistrust, using outdated structures that no longer reflect today's political and economic realities.---The summit will adopt 3 agreements- A pact for the future, a global digital compact and a declaration on future generations.--The U.N. reported that, -...they adopted the potentially game-changing Pact for the Future by consensus-with a small group of just seven countries holding out, having failed to pass a last minute amendment. The centerpiece of the Summit of the Future is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reimagine the multi-lateral system and steer humanity on a new course, to meet existing commitments and solve long-term challenges.---Alex Newman, a frequent Crosstalk guest, is attending the Summit of the Future and he'll report on activities there next Tuesday along with the ramifications for the United States and the world as a whole.--In the meantime, let Jim get you caught up on aspects such as the Pact for the Future that's already been passed. It's a pact where, believe it or not, opposition was led, not by the U.S., but by Russia.
