July 24, 2020 By Bethany Blankley

One For Israel, an evangelical Christian organization promoting the gospel to Jews and Muslims in Israel, has exposed Rabbinical teachings that oppose scripture and “put women in darkness and shame.” The group’s hope by exposing the abusive teachings of some rabbis is “to shine the light of truth” to show that Yeshua loves and esteems women. “While the Bible presents women as heroes, the ‘oral Torah’ (Talmud) invented by the rabbis, often presents women in a completely different way,” One...

DeSantis does what should have been done a long time ago: require parental consent for minors to get abortions

July 16, 2020 By Bethany Blankley

One would think this should be common sense– and that a law should not have to be passed to protect minors or ensure parental rights are followed.

Anti-life Roberts betrays God-given right to life and common sense medical protections for women [video]

July 14, 2020 By Bethany Blankley

In a somewhat shocking decision, (one somewhat gets used to “Obama’s Judge” Chief Justice John Roberts siding with anti-life justices), the U.S. Supreme Court overturned a U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals decision in June Medical Services v. Russo, ruling that Louisiana’s 2014 Unsafe Abortion Protection Act was unconstitutional. The Supreme Court’s decision upheld the 2016 Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt decision, which was an example of legislating from the bench, an act prohibited by the U. S. Constitution. The Unsafe Abortion Protection... Read more
