…d on mutual trust and respect.” War Without End? South Kordofan is but the latest front in the civil war gaining steam in the run-up to the July 9 date for the formal independence of southern Sudan.

…acklash continues. A poll over at One News Now showed that 63% believe her latest coupling with GOProud “undermines her testimony as a born-again Christian,” with 27% saying it “damages her credibility as a conservative columnist.” Matt Barber from Liberty Counsel Action also attacked Coulter for associating with GOProud: “There is nothing conservative about the radical homosexual activist agenda which seeks to impose, under penalty of law, sexual…

…barrassed for them for even asking for an apology.” Perhaps Fox missed the latest poll showing that 58 percent of those asked believe homosexuality should be accepted in society—or this one that shows 53 percent support marriage equality for gays and lesbians.

…r scientific understanding of ECPs has undercut even these objections. The latest evidence says that Plan B, which accounted for 99 percent of the market in 2012, doesn’t affect implantation at all—if it fails to prevent ovulation it doesn’t work. In 2010, Health Progress, the Catholic Health Association’s own journal, admitted that Plan B “is not an abortifacient.” Ella, a newer ECP that can prevent pregnancy for up to five days after uncontracep…

By Sunnivie Brydum

The Trump administration’s latest gift to its far-right, white conservative Christian base is the DOJ’s “religious freedom” memo, which is actually a pair of documents purporting to instruct all government agencies how to be appropriately deferential to those who express religious inclinations. The memo—which does not carry the weight of law—keeps pace with this administration’s fawning embrace of the worldview expressed by the white conservative…

…cuss the state of Black-Jewish relations and tried to make it through this latest episode of the Who’s-the-true-chosen-people-Olympics unscathed. So if you detect cynicism dripping from my words, it’s intentional. However, it was a direct message from a close friend who posed the following query that changed my mind: “I need to run this by you, and I know I can’t ask this in public because of how it might be misconstrued. Is it inherently antisemi…

…mong a small set of evangelicals who opposed Trump from the start, but the latest rounds demonstrate an even greater propensity to rewrite history and recent events in an attempt to disconnect evangelicals from the rise of Trump.
