(SRN NEWS) – A three-judge panel has ruled that Tennessee cannot discipline doctors who provide emergency abortions to protect the life of the mother while a lawsuit challenging the state’s sweeping abortion ban continues. The ruling also outlines specific pregnancy-related conditions that would now qualify as “medical necessity exceptions” under the ban. However, the judges also said that because they are a chancery court, they do not have the jurisdiction to block the criminal statute inside the ban. Violators face felony charges carrying a prison sentence as high as 15 years.
Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt says he has no issue with kicker Harrison Butker forming a political action committee designed to encourage Christians to vote for traditional values. Butker announced his UPRIGHT PAC this month. Hunt says the Chiefs have players “on both sides of the political spectrum” and he supports efforts to make a difference. The Hunt family has supported a group urging Missouri voters to reject a ballot measure that would overturn a near-total ban on abortion in the state. Butker has drawn attention for his pro-life views.
A new study finds that Asian-American Evangelical Christians are an evolving group of voters who are increasingly seeking to make their voices heard. The vast majority hold conservative views on abortion and homosexuality, but they widely consider themselves Evangelical in a theological sense rather than viewing it as a political identity. Asian-Americans are the fastest growing voting bloc in the country along with Latinos. Among Asian-Amerians, Christians are the single largest group of voters, followed by those unaffiliated with any particular religion.
Texas is suing a Dallas doctor over accusations that she has been providing puberty-blocking drugs to children in order to help them live as the opposite sex. The lawsuit announced by Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton alleges that Dr. May Lau (LAOW), a physician in the Dallas area, provided hormones to over 20 minors in violation of a Texas ban that took effect last year. The Texas law prevents anyone under the age of 18 from obtaining sex-change operations, hormone therapies or puberty blocking drugs of any kind.
