By Peter Laarman

…ows out a clever ruse. The Arizona legislators who like Christian schools knew that they couldn’t just take the state’s tax money and hand it over directly—even the Roberts Court would frown on that. So they conspired with conservative Christian groups to create these intermediary tuition organizations. They then qualified the organizations to receive state tax credits. Oh, and by coincidence they allowed the organizations to discriminate in respe…

South Dakota Bill Could Legalize Killing Abortion Doctors

By Lauri Lebo

…e made in the committee hearing on the bill last week. “If you look at the code, these codes are dealing with illegal acts. Now, abortion is a legal act. So this has got nothing to do with abortion.” Here is the bill in its entirety: FOR AN ACT ENTITLED, An Act to expand the definition of justifiable homicide to provide for the protection of certain unborn children. BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF SOUTH DAKOTA: Section 1. Th…

In its Battle for ‘Life’ the Antiabortion Movement is Willing to Expose its Enemies to Death — And There’s an Old Christian Theology that Supports Them

By Beatrice Marovich

…antiabortion activists. The bill, HB 3549, seeks to amend the state’s law code so that an abortion would be treated as a homicide by the state’s judicial system, which could make the death penalty a potential consequence. It would be difficult to interpret this as anything other than an embrace of the death-dealing dimensions of forced birth politics. What’s going on? Why would a movement that seeks to “preserve life” be so ready to embrace death…

RDGenerations: Youth and Liberal Religion

By Lucia Hulsether

…p structure. Of course, you can’t blame groups like this for being wary of new volunteers. M: That’s true, especially considering how the Reagan Administration paid spies to infiltrate the Sanctuary Movement. But if they depend on volunteers and recruit them…? L: The cliquishness was not the only problem. The leadership structure seemed almost nonexistent (supposedly it was consensus-based, but volunteers were out of the loop). This blocked opport…

Hillary Flirting with Fear

By Ira Chernus

…to swallow. You can watch them struggling with it on the op-ed page of the New York Times, where the bellwether liberal columnists take very different views on the issue. Frank Rich urges Democrats to put the war front and center in their campaign because “the mere mention of Iraq is dangerous to Mr. McCain. It will be a slam-dunk for Democrats to argue that it’s long past time for the Iraqis to stand up on a sensible timetable that will allow the…

What’s Huntsman’s Game Plan?

By Joanna Brooks

…ion and, intriguingly, that he “adds to that diversity,” which is probably code for a less-than-orthodox approach to the faith. Huntsman is helped also by the fact that whereas Mormonism may be the most intriguing thing about candidate Romney, candidate Huntsman plays rock-and-roll and rides motorcycles. 3. He needs to show well in New Hampshire, but it’s South Carolina he is banking on. His campaign team is already heavy with recycled McCain pers…

I Met God, She’s Black: An Exhibit Makes the Black Female Body a Temple

By Anita Little

…ng forward and developing this project, so when I saw this other shirt, I knew how important it was. I think a lot of people recognize this concept from a biological standpoint (in terms of the mitochondria) but also recognize it in terms of the ways in which the black female presence is honored, especially in Europe. We’re now at this apex, this pivotal point where there’s a rush of awareness. You see it at the political level with Black Lives Ma…

…ning) than on religion, defined in terms of religious institutions. Ethics codes, like the Code of Ethics for Nurses of the American Nurses Association, emphasize the importance of patients’ spiritual well-being and the NANDA International, which develops language around nursing diagnoses, recognizes three diagnoses related to spirituality and spiritual distress. In medical and broader public discourse about religion, spirituality, and medicine, i…

Pope Francis, Breeding Bunnies and Ideological Colonization

By Patricia Miller

…es. And for anyone who thinks that it’s a big breakthrough for the pope to promote “responsible parenthood,” here’s Pope Paul VI in Humanae Vitae: Married love, therefore, requires of husband and wife the full awareness of their obligations in the matter of responsible parenthood, which today, rightly enough, is much insisted upon, but which at the same time should be rightly understood. Thus, we do well to consider responsible parenthood in the l…

One of These Things is Not Like the Other: Religion and the Obama Campaign

By Louis A. Ruprecht

…dency, signaling the possibility of different coalitions, the emergence of new and different “religious” issues, and different ways of imagining the relationship between religion and politics in the United States. In short, religion no longer “belongs” to the political right (if it ever really did—Waldman was right about that), but it is a matter worth puzzling over, this question of the Illinois Senator’s religiosity, the question of why the only…
