By Jessica Johnson

…place.” His story continues, “As a college student on staff at a church in Texas over 20 years ago, I regrettably had a sexual incident with a female high school senior in the church. I apologized and sought forgiveness from her, her parents, her discipleship group, the church staff, and the church leadership, who informed the congregation. In agreement with wise counsel, I took every step to respond in a biblical way. I resigned from ministry and…

…co” under the continued supervision of the congregation. Archbishop Robert Sanchez of Santa Fe agreed, and granted Graff “limited faculties” to carry out work with the homeless and with AIDS patients in Albuquerque. Edward Graff’s journey to Jemez Springs and then on to Albuquerque is typical of the movements of Catholic pedophile priests in New Mexico. From the mid-1960s it was policy within the Archdiocese of Santa Fe to permit clergy under the…

Goodbye ‘Roe,’ Hello Violence and an Out-of-Control Judiciary

By Andrew L. Seidel

…e Prevention of Vice. When paired with our politically divided country and Texas’s new unlicensed open carry law that also took effect today, it’s a recipe for violence, which has already plagued abortion providers. Now their supporters feel like they have a license to hunt (which is not what the law says) and also happen to believe God is on their side. What could possibly go wrong? It’s tempting to say that they learned nothing from the violence…

By Andrew L. Seidel

…id out for all to see. They said the quiet part out loud. The architect of Texas’s abortion ban, former Texas Solicitor General Jonathan Mitchell, filed a brief in the abortion ban case. If you haven’t been paying attention, it’s startling in its breadth: “This is not to say that the Court should announce the overruling of Lawrence and Obergefell if it decides to overrule Roe and Casey in this case.

…that the contribution was actually $30,000.] Perry raised $30 million, the Texas governor pointedly reminded Bachmann; $5,000 is chump change and not enough to turn his head. I read something more into that statement, though: he was trying to intimidate the little woman with his fundraising prowess. The other big fireworks was the Romney v. Perry showdown over whether Social Security should be called a “Ponzi scheme.” As I wrote this morning, it’s…

‘We Believe That God Has a Special Plan for Every Single Life’: Oklahoma’s Strict, Punitive, and Total Abortion Ban is Just the Beginning

By Chrissy Stroop

…o, Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt signed a six-week abortion ban that, like Texas’s infamous SB8, calls on private citizens to enforce the law by filing lawsuits not only against anyone who performs an abortion for an Oklahoman in need, but also anyone who “aids or abets” an Oklahoman in accessing abortion care. This newly passed bill, which Stitt will most likely sign, retains the cruel and bizarre “bounty hunter” enforcement mechanism pioneered i…
