President Biden Revokes Policy Preventing Taxpayer Funding of Abortionists Overseas

Abortion, , ,

On Thursday afternoon President Biden issued an executive order revoking the pro-life “Mexico City Policy” that prevents U.S. taxpayer dollars from going to abortionists overseas.

The Mexico City Policy is an executive order first issued by President Reagan.

It bars public dollars from going to organizations that perform or promote abortions in foreign countries.

Historically, the policy has been revoked and reinstated by different presidents over the years.

President Trump reinstated the Mexico City Policy on January 23, 2017. He later expanded the order to make it as far-reaching as possible.

As a result, abortion organizations worldwide lost millions of dollars in taxpayer funds.

President Biden’s decision today reinstates that public funding.

Pro-Abortion Group Lobbying Arkansas Senators

Abortion, Arkansas Capitol, , , , ,

On Thursday morning the group Arkansas Abortion Support Network posted a photo of post cards addressed to Arkansas senators on the Senate Public Health Committee.

The post cards ask the senators to oppose S.B. 6, the Arkansas Unborn Child Protection Act.

Arkansas Abortion Support Network provides abortion facility escorts and abortion funding. The group has previously made statements opposing S.B. 6.

S.B. 6 by Sen. Jason Rapert (R – Conway) and Rep. Mary Bentley (R – Perryville) is a good, pro-life bill that prohibits abortion in Arkansas except when the mother’s life is in jeopardy.

It sets the stage for federal courts to overturn bad decisions like Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey.

Arkansans are overwhelmingly pro-life.

Recent public opinion polling shows 23% of Arkansans believe abortion ought to be completely illegal, and 59% believe abortion ought to be legal only under certain circumstances.

S.B. 6 is an opportunity for Arkansas to be a real leader in the effort to end abortion in America.

And Yet Another Study Shows Marijuana Is Dangerous

Marijuana
John Stonestreet, Radio Host and President of the Colson Center for Christian Worldview.

An oft-repeated line from advocates in and out of American politics is that marijuana, unlike opioids or cocaine, is a “safe drug.” Every campaign to legalize its sale and use repeats this claim. But it’s not true.

A study just published in JAMA Pediatrics found that heavy cannabis use among adolescents and young adults with mood disorders is “associated with an elevated risk of self-harm, overall mortality, and death by unintentional overdose and homicide.”

Making this finding even more significant and ominous is the fact that mood disorders have risen significantly over the past decade among younger Americans. 

According to the study’s author, a first step is to educate parents and kids about the risks. That’s true, but we also need to educate politicians and voters that promises of financial windfalls won’t somehow make pot safe, and it’s not the government’s job to incentivize risky behaviors for financial gain.
