‘It’s Time to Defend our Children Outside of the Womb’: Pray Vote Stand Connects Anti-Abortion and Anti-Trans Messages

By PRA Staff

…stitute dot the spacious hallways. With available seating for a couple thousand, the sanctuary was sparse on Thursday morning—maybe 300 people in total. As we choose our seats, volunteers usher us to the front section “for the cameras and for the security.” Speaking of security, armed law enforcement lurk in the hallways and at the entrances, guns at hips. Tony Perkins welcomes Georgia Governor Brian Kemp to the stage who rails against “rogue loca…

By Robert Repino

…onversation with the New York Times. A surreal moment occurs around the 11-minute mark, when Sargeant is asked how she feels about Dobbs’s potentially devastating impact on poor people. She deflects by talking about how European abortion laws are more restrictive than those in the US. The moderator repeats the question, though this callout has been stricken from the transcript for some reason. Sargeant then concedes the moderator’s point—right bef…

…ft without attention. At no point did Will stop to think WWJD. What would Jazzy-Jeff do? This slap heard around the globe opened the second seal. It’s a shame that this led to a battle fought on a global stage that ended both of their careers. More casualties of the cultural wars, folks. 3. Famine: Political Famine vs. Lettuce Famines are nothing new from a historical perspective, but some places in the world continue to experience political famin…

O’Donnell At Values Voters Summit

By Sarah Posner

Delaware GOP Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell is a last-minute addition to the Values Voters Summit schedule, and I can boldly predict she will be a huge hit here. Questions are already being raised—from progressives—about the wisdom of what might be called the masturbation approach to talking about O’Donnell’s candidacy. Mike Tomasky writes, “a nice-looking woman talking about the virtues of chastity, and sharing her special secrets with the…

By Lauren Barbato

…adopted a resolution that expressed “its abhorrence of the assaults on the sanctity of human life which arise from the advocacy of abortion, sterilization and planned parenthood through contraception.” The resolution also pledged allegiance to their Catholic moral principles. A 1960 overview of the organization’s “activities” reaffirms this pledge: “To uphold the principles of the Catholic faith and morality as related to the science and practice…

The Anti-Defamation League Jumps the Shark

By Jay Michaelson

…e-oriented Islamic center two blocks from Ground Zero in Manhattan. Wait a minute, my (non-Jewish) boyfriend asked me, did they drop a letter from their name? Are they the Defamation League now? A Wounded People Those of us who have watched the ADL for years were less surprised. The sad truth is, while there is an interesting backstory which explains some of this bizarre situation, the ADL has long been out of step with more progressive elements o…

In Speech to White Evangelical Broadcasters, Trump Lays Out his White Christian Nationalist Vision

By Robert P. Jones

…or person of faith, person of faith. How you can vote for a Democrat is crazy. It’s crazy…. Never again will the federal government be used to target religious believers. They are targeting religious believers. What they did to all of you, a lot of ground was lost by religion during Covid, during the China virus. Let’s be more accurate, called it the China virus. We want to be accurate, have to be accurate, or you’ll get criticized <laugh>, you’l…

By Joseph Laycock

…ist, but Michelle Remembers, a 1980 book written by psychiatrist Lawrence Pazder and his patient-turned-wife Michelle Proby. Although it was thoroughly debunked, descriptions of Michelle’s repressed memories of being tortured in Satanic rituals as a child jump-started a wave of claims about “Satanic Ritual Abuse.” Again, talk shows became a key vector through which Pazder and others disseminated these stories. As tastes shifted from exorcism to Sa…

O’Donnell Disowns Former “Ex-Gay” Associate

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…in. That’s been my experience with the Christian community in general. The minute I was struggling and saying, ‘Hey, listen, I don’t know really where I am with this,’ that’s when everyone really turned their back on me.” It’s not a shock really. Once the “ex-gay” industry can’t use these people to make money—I mean, redeem gay people—they have no use for them anymore. Today’s article in the Daily Beast is enlightening on one point: apparently O’D…

Trump’s Bibles and Sneakers Campaigns Tell an Old Story About the Role of Race in Christian Nationalism

By Dara Delgado

…y. So when you have Trump roll out his sneaker line, they’re like, ‘Wait a minute; this is cool!’ He’s reaching them on a level that defies and is above politics. The culture always trumps politics, and Trump understands culture like no politician I’ve ever seen. The assumption that Sneaker Con and not the local church is the best place to capture new Black voters is a notable shift in American politics. But the Trump campaign opting to lure Black…
