Via email from the Family Research Council: Shortly after the Biden administration issued a rule allowing most pharmacies to dispense the abortion-inducing pill mifepristone, representatives from the retail pharmacy chains CVS and Walgreens confirmed that they plan to stock the substance — a move that will put more women’s lives in danger and “transform pharmacies from centers of healing into …

Via email from hate group leader Tony Perkins: Earlier this week, President Biden signed the so-called Respect for Marriage Act, which not only codifies same-sex marriage into federal law but also opens wide the door to endless litigation and persecution of those who hold to a biblical and natural view of marriage. I won’t mince words. There’s no denying that …

Via email from hate group leader Tony Perkins: Even with the Christmas holiday fast approaching, the team at FRC is focused every day on protecting Americans’ First Amendment rights–your God-given rights. That includes both your freedom to hold and to live in accordance with your religious beliefs and the freedom to proclaim truth in the public square about how the …

Via email from hate group leader Tony Perkins: On Tuesday night, the U.S. Senate passed the so-called “Respect for Marriage” Act which critics say invites “predatory lawsuits” against people of faith, stigmatizes biblical values, and drives Christians from the public square. Although nearly all Senate Republicans voted for amendments demanding greater respect for religious liberty, 12 Republicans voted for the …

Via email from the Family Research Council: Abortion is never medically necessary to save the life of a mother. That tweet struck a nerve — a very vocal and angry nerve.

Via email from the Family Research Council: On Wednesday, the Miami-Dade School Board, which represents the nation’s fourth-largest school district, voted against a measure that would have recognized October as “LGBTQ history month.” The vote follows an August 23 school board election in which Miami-Dade was flipped to a conservative majority. The vote marks the first time in recent memory …

ProPublica reports: According to documents obtained via the Freedom of Information Act and given to ProPublica, the FRC filed an application to change its status to an “association of churches,” a designation commonly used by groups with member churches like the Southern Baptist Convention, in March 2020.

Via press release from hate group leader Tony Perkins: President, or more appropriately, Comrade Biden’s vaccine mandate affecting millions of Americans is an unprecedented and unacceptable abuse of power. If allowed to stand, this will have far-reaching consequences for civil liberties, conscience rights, religious freedom, human dignity, and the ability of families to make health decisions. President Biden is telling …

The Associated Press reports: Attorneys for former reality TV star Josh Duggar have filed motions seeking to dismiss child pornography charges against him.

Posted today by the Family Research Council: The Bible’s Teaching on Homosexuality – Romans 1:18-32 – The apostle Paul explains that humanity has rejected God, exchanging the truth about Him and the things He created for a lie. While describing the sinful “exchanges” men and women have made, Paul uses the term para physin, which means “unnatural” or “against nature.” …

Via press release from the FRC: The Fourth Circuit erred when it struck down the decision of the people of Virginia to define marriage as it has been understood for ages: as being between one man and one woman.

Family Research Council “senior fellow” Ken Blackwell speaks to the Christian Post: “I think through empowering others and creating self-sufficiency…there within lies the path to sense of worthiness,” Blackwell told CP. “When I was growing up, there was fundamental belief, that there were times in people’s life when they needed a hand up…there were temporariness to hose programs, where they …

“No one is demanding that any homosexual become a heterosexual, or that homosexuals be in any way harmed, demeaned, or persecuted. To the contrary, true Christians should and do show the love of Christ to every image-bearer of God, whether that person is homosexual or heterosexual. Period. We simply believe that sexual intimacy is reserved by God for heterosexual, monogamous …

Continuing to hit back at their hate group listing by the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Family Research Council has issued a lengthy refutation of the charges against them. Amongst those is the claim that they’ve never said that all homosexuals are inherently prone to pedophilia, only that child molestation occurs at a higher rate among gay men. That claim …

Read the entire ruling. The FEC originally fined the campaign $82,600, the same amount of the payment to David Duke, but the fine was reduced after mediation. The fine, it should be noted, was for attempting to cloak the payment on federally required campaign expenditure forms. It is not against the rules to buy mailing lists from the KKK or …

I’ve mentioned this many times before, but it’s certainly worth mentioning again this week. From an SPLC article I’ve excerpted here before: In 1996, while managing the U.S. Senate campaign of Woody Jenkins against Mary Landrieu, Perkins paid $82,500 to use the mailing list of former Klan chieftain David Duke. The campaign was fined $3,000 (reduced from $82,500) after Perkins …
