Victory! Supreme Court rules 5-4 “Jesus Prayers” are OK
Hallelujah! Today YOU helped score a VICTORY at the U.S. Supreme Court, reaching the pinnacle of seven years of work and prayer with The Pray In Jesus Name Project.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that it’s OK for pastors to pray “in Jesus’ name” at city council meetings. Five opinions were written in Greece v. Galloway, with three supporting opinions and two opposing.
Justice Kennedy wrote for the majority (joined by Roberts and Alito), ruling:
“The town of Greece does not violate the First Amendment by opening its meetings with prayer that comports with our tradition, and does not coerce participation by nonadherents.”
“To hold that invocations must be nonsectarian would force the legislatures that sponsor prayers and the courts that are asked to decide these cases to act as supervisors and censors of religious speech,” Kennedy wrote. [Read all the opinions here.]
In other words, the First Amendment clearly protects the right to pray “in Jesus’ name.”
A concurring opinion by Justices Thomas and Scalia went further, declaring the government does not coerce others to pray simply by allowing freedom of speech. They argued a ‘coercion’ test would be satisfied “only if a local government had actually compelled people to be followers of one faith, such as requiring people to go to religious services or to pay taxes to pay for religious institutions,” reports SCOTUS blog.
The four liberal justices tried but failed to ban Jesus prayers, but complained nonetheless.
Justice Kagan wrote for the minority: “even in a partly legislative body, [citizens] should not confront government-sponsored worship that divides them along religious lines.” Kagan was predictably joined by Sotomayor and Ginsburg. Justice Breyer wrote his own dissenting opinion.
Justice Alito corrected the facts in Kagan’s dissent in a fifth opinion, saying “when complaints were received, the town made it clear that it would permit any interested residents, including nonbelievers, to provide an invocation, and the town has never refused a request to offer an invocation.”
[Dr. Chaps’ comments: I’ve said all along, people from all faiths can freely take turns.
In 2006 I faxed the Greece Town Supervisor John Auberger, inviting him to hire the Christian lawyers at Alliance Defending Freedom, which he did. Those lawyers won the argument. YOU helped defend freedom today.
But military chaplains are not directly affected by this ruling, just yet. Anti-Jesus complainers will ignore this ruling, and continue to hound military chaplains who pray in Jesus’ name, until we get a positive law passed by Congress.]

Military stands with Jesus at National Day of Prayer
Today, May 1st, is the National Day of Prayer. To find an event in your city, select here.
Thankfully, the Department of Defense is allowing uniformed soldiers to attend the National Day of Prayer events in Washington DC, ignoring ridiculous complaints by anti-Christian groups that soldiers are not allowed to express their Christian faith while in uniform.
“The U.S. military has no plans to back out of a National Day of Prayer event after being urged by a prominent activist group to withdraw,” reports ChristianNews.net.
“Mikey Weinstein, the president of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, recently sent a letter to Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, asking that the Department of Defense distance itself from next month’s observance in Washington. Weinstein said that military participation in the event would suggest the government endorsement of Christianity.”
Weinstein also demanded Christians be punished if they pray in uniform.
He “respectfully demands that [Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel] aggressively investigate and appropriately punish any of the individuals and/or organizations that would have allowed for uniformed personnel to participate in this sectarian spectacle.”
Watch! Dr. Chaps’ 7-minute TV commentary on why the military is allowing Christian soldiers to participate in the Day of Prayer–>
Punish soldiers or even chaplains if they dare to express their Christian faith, or attend a Christian-led prayer event? No way.
Thankfully, the Pentagon is once again ignoring the anti-Christian complainers.
“According to Stars & Stripes, the military has no plans to withdraw from the gathering, which has been observed annually via the National Day of Prayer Task Force for over the past two decades.”
[Dr. Chaps’ comment: Every soldier, especially Christian soldiers, should have the same First Amendment rights that minority faiths have. Nobody complains when Muslims pray to Allah. But when Christians pray publicly in Jesus’ name, the demons howls like lunatics, and so do some people.]

Jesus wins? Oral arguments at Supreme Court. Chaps predicts 6-3 decision.
I am amazed and relieved. I just read all of October’s oral arguments at the U.S. Supreme Court today in the case of Greece vs. Galloway. I am almost giddy. I think we’re about to make history in favor of the right to pray in Jesus’ name in government forums.
I hereby predict the court will rule 6-3 in favor of Jesus prayers, announcing next July.
By the tone and tenor of the questioning, it is quite clear that all five Republican-appointed Justices Roberts, Alito, Scalia, and Kennedy (with Thomas silent) did affirm and will rule in favor of the right to pray in Jesus’ name, even at city council meetings.
A sixth Democrat-appointed Justice Breyer asked questions implying he favors allowing Jesus prayers, applying the same standard for legislative prayers in all city councils and state legislatures that is currently used by the U.S. Congress, which allows diversity.
The court’s three female Democrat-appointed Justices Ginsburg, Sotomayor, and Kagan however, initially appear to oppose Jesus prayers in their questioning.
Here is a link to the full text of the oral arguments. Lawyers Hungar and Gershengorn argued in favor of allowing pastors to pray “in Jesus’ name” when giving the invocation before city council meetings.
The anti-Jesus lawyer Laylock argued against allowing Jesus prayers, and directly asked the government to censor the word Jesus Christ from prayers. Read in particular pages 24-25, 40-41, and 51-52. The Justices cracked jokes about allowing atheist prayers.
The bottom line was summarized by Justice Kagan, who may yet surprise me and make this a 7-2 decision. Here’s her quote.
JUSTICE KAGAN: All hypotheticals aside, isn’t the question mostly here in most communities whether the kind of language that I began with, which refers repeatedly to Jesus Christ, which is language that is accepted and admired and incredibly important to the majority members of a community, but is not accepted by a minority, whether that language will be allowed in a public town session like this one. That’s really the question, isn’t it?
MR. LAYCOCK: That’s the issue that actually arises in the case.
JUSTICE KAGAN: That’s the issue that actually arises. Here’s what — I don’t think that this is an easy question. I think it’s hard, because of this. I think it’s hard because the Court lays down these rules and everybody thinks that the Court is being hostile to religion and people get unhappy and angry and agitated in various kinds of ways.
JUSTICE KENNEDY: It just seems to me that enforcing that standard and the standard I suggested involves the State very heavily in the censorship and – and the approval or disapproval of prayers.
[Dr. Chaps’ comment: Bingo. Kennedy nailed it. The anti-Jesus complainers are demanding state censorship of citizens’ speech and prayer content. That violates the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Ballgame. We will win, God willing.]
Now let’s demand Congress restore religious freedom for military chaplains and troops:

IRS threatens to Prosecute Christians and Tea-Party Conservatives
The IRS tax-exempt organization chief Lois Lerner is pleading the 5th Amendment before Congress, after shocking emails show she may have colluded with the Department of Justice to threaten criminal prosecution of Tea-Party Conservative groups, in an effort to silence them from criticizing the Obama Administration or exercising their First Amendment rights, reports ConservativeActionAlerts.com
“Chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA) the current chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), chairman of the Subcommittee on Economic Growth, Job Creation and Regulatory Affairs released their response to documents they read that were obtained by Judicial Watch, which investigates and exposes government corruption and abuse.
“Reps. Issa and Jordan allege that the newly released IRS documents reveal that Lois Lerner, the Director of the IRS Exempt Organizations office at the time, was in contact with Attorney General Eric Holder’s Justice Department officials regarding possible prosecutions of tax-exempt groups Lerner deemed to be ‘dangerous’ to the Democrats especially the Obama administration.
Watch! Dr. Chaps’ 7-minute TV analysis of the IRS corruption exposed by Chairman Issa of the oversight committee (at the 11:00 minute mark)–>
“The release of new documents underscores the political nature of IRS Tea Party targeting and the extent to which supposed apolitical officials took direction from elected Democrats,” Chairman Issa said in a press statement on Wednesday.
“These emails are part of an overwhelming body of evidence that political pressure from prominent Democrats led to the targeting of Americans for their political beliefs,” added Issa.
“Now I see why the IRS is scared to give up the rest of Lois Lerner’s emails,” said Chairman Jordan.”
[Dr. Chaps’ comments: The IRS must remain politically neutral, and recognize its own laws which permit conservative and liberal groups alike, for profit and non-profit, to report the news and blog about issues of concern to their values. To gag the prophetic voice of the press, or non-profit church and charity groups under attack (defending themselves) by the corrupt government, to tax the church or charity groups for exercising their First Amendment rights, is actually an establishment of anti-Christian religion, and must be resisted. We stand with Chairman Issa of the Oversight Committee, and pray for him as scripture commands us to pray for all in authority, 1 Tim 2:2.]
Let’s petition Congress to restore free speech to pastors under fire by the IRS:
Obama: IRS should Tax Churches and Conservatives. Take action!
After IRS officials met 155 times in the White House with Obama Administration officials, and the IRS confessed engaging in illegal and biased taxation of conservative groups, including pro-life and Christian groups, nobody was held accountable.
That IRS scandal caused some liberals to call for President Obama’s impeachment, as the worst abuse of IRS power since President Nixon.
Shockingly, Obama is now “doubling-down” and pushing for even more IRS persecution and taxation of Christian groups, including non-profit 501c4s and soon 501c3s and Churches, reports Matt Barber of Liberty Counsel.
Watch! Dr. Chaps’ NEW television interview with Pastor Mark Cowart, a leader in the “Pulpit Freedom Sunday” initiative to help churches take on the IRS–>
Sadly, Obama “has quietly released a proposed set of new IRS regulations that, if implemented, will immediately, unlawfully and permanently muzzle conservative 501(c)(4) nonprofit organizations and their individual employees.”
“These Orwellian regulations will prohibit conservative 501(c)(4) organizations from using words like ‘oppose,’ ‘vote,’ or ‘defeat.’ Their timing, prior to a pivotal election, is no coincidence and provides yet another example of Obama’s using the IRS for ‘progressive’ political gain.”
[Dr. Chaps’ comment: Pastors like Mark Cowart (interviewed above) are heroes, who dare to stand up for religious freedom of speech, and dare to stand up to the IRS taxation of Christian speech. But the First Amendment requires Churches and non-profits must remain exempt from government tyranny.]
Let’s petition all 535 Congressmen and Senators to stand against oppressive IRS threats to tax conservatives and churches…
The 1954 Johnson Amendment law is not just unconstitutional, it’s also un-American. Hundreds of courageous pastors take a stand every October, by violating the Johnson Amendment law and preaching about politics (just one Sunday per year) in the pulpit. Many send transcripts to the IRS demanding their own punishment, and daring the IRS to sue them in court, or try to revoke their church’s non-profit IRS status.
So far the IRS has failed, repeatedly, to enforce the Johnson Amendment, because they themselves admit the law violates the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The government cannot tax or punish free speech, especially in church. Religion itself is highly political, because God is God, and the devil wants to rule in His place. Nowadays the devil uses corrupt politicians to rule society and pass immoral laws.
Throughout America’s history, starting with the Revolution, our nation’s pastors spoke freely on political and moral issues of their day. It was not only their privilege but their duty to preach truth to power, against immorality and corruption. Historian James H. Huston wrote of 1776: “Preachers seemed to vie with their brethren in other colonies in arousing their congregations against George III.” Mr. Huston also discovered the House of Representatives sponsored church services in its chambers for the first 100 years. They only stopped when better transportation took members of Congress home for the weekend.
In the mid-nineteenth century, evangelical Christians were primary agents in shaping American political culture and ending slavery, according to Richard Carwardine, author of Evangelicals and Politics in Antebellum America. “Political sermons, triumphalism and doom laden, redolent with biblical imagery and theological terminology, were a feature of the age,” he writes.
In the 1856 election, one minister distilled the question before voters as a contest pitting “truth and falsehood, liberty and tyranny, light and darkness, holiness and sin . . . the two great armies of the battlefield of the universe, each contending for victory.” Language like this today earns a pastor a visit or letter from the Internal Revenue Service.
In 1992, the Church at Pierce Creek in Vestal, New York placed a newspaper ad warning Christians not to vote for Bill Clinton for president. Casting a vote for Clinton, the ad warned in rhetoric echoing 1856, would be committing a sin. The IRS took notice and three years later revoked the conservative church’s tax exemption.
But the IRS does not enforce this law fairly. For example in 1994 another church in New York welcomed “New York governor Mario Cuomo (D-NY) campaigned for reelection on a Sunday morning at the Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Harlem. Cuomo was rewarded with a long, loud round of applause and an unequivocal endorsement from the pastor,” according to a Newsday report. But the IRS never stops liberals. The American Center for Law and Justice, which represented the Church at Pierce Creek, uncovered evidence at trial that the IRS knew of more than 500 instances in which candidates appeared before churches, as happened with Governor Cuomo and Bethel A.M.E., but took no action to revoke these churches’ tax-exempt status.
The Johnson law is being used by the Government to shape the messages of the Church and its pastors. Conservative churches are silenced, but liberal churches are freely politicized. This Goverment censorship of ANY Church is plain and simple illegal. The First Amendment states that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech.” Yet that is exactly what Congress did, and the IRS now does, by silencing churches.
Bottom line: Our pastors are being silenced. Let’s take the gag off conservative churches, and restore the First Amendment freedom of speech to our pulpits. Sign our new petition!
Friends, our Congress must vote on the record, for or against pulpit freedom. Let’s take a stand today, and demand free speech be restored to churches and pastors.
God Bless you, in Jesus’ name,

Congress slams Air Force for threatening Religious Freedom. Take action!
Congressman Randy Forbes (R-VA) publicly grilled Air Force leadership for their failure to protect religious freedom for Academy cadets, who were threatened with punishment for posting Bible verses on their public white-boards outside their dormitory rooms.
Last month we reported cadets at the Air Force Academy are under fire because they exercised their First Amendment right to post bible verses on their personal white boards in the hallway outside their rooms. Many displayed scriptures with positive, uplifting Bible verses proclaiming their faith in Jesus Christ, and encouraging others.
But certain anti-Christian complainers demanded the scriptures be erased, and the Superintendent of the Air Force Academy admitted that senior officers met with and pressured at least one cadet to remove the Bible verses, and he complied, and erased them.
Had he not erased the Bible, he would have been punished, admitted at least one Air Force lawyer, who apparently has never read the First Amendment of the Constitution, and also wants to violate DoD regulations and federal law passed by Congress last year. This drew the attention of the U.S. Congress, who grilled Air Force leaders last week in hearings on Capitol Hill.

Christian Sergeant Relieved of Duty for… (Guess What?)
Another military member with 19 years of honorable service was relieved of duty because his openly-lesbian commanding officer objected to his views that define traditional marriage between one man and one woman.
Fox News has the shocking video interview here, of Senior Master Sergeant Phillip Monk, who was punished with a sudden transfer when he refused his lesbian commander Major Elisa Valenzuela’s directive to “re-educate” a younger Staff Sergeant who made a public statement in favor of defining marriage between one man and one woman.
“Major Valenzuela wanted the staff sergeant to be severely punished for expressing religious objections to homosexuality, and in the course of that discussion [Senior Master Sergeant] Monk admitted to his commander that he also has a moral objection to same-sex marriage,” reports One News Now.
“And I was being essentially evaluated as if I had to agree as a condition of employment,” Monk tells OneNewsNow. “I was weighed. I was measured. I was found unfit for my position. And for all intents and purposes, she punished me.”
Watch! Dr. Chaps 8-minute TV commentary about TSgt Layne Wilson, reprimanded for opposing a gay ‘wedding’ that desecrated the Christian chapel at West Point.
“The lesbian major forced [SMSgt Monk] to be abruptly removed from his leadership position on July 26. He had to seek permission to return to his unit to retrieve personal items, he said.
“I was relieved of my position because I do not agree with my commander’s position on gay marriage,” he told the military newspaper.
[Dr. Chaps’ comment: These blatant violations of the religious freedoms of and Constitutional rights of Christian troops are so commonplace, that I bet you correctly “guessed what” even before you opened this email. We MUST take a stand by petitioning Congress today, especially for free speech for our troops…]

The above incident is the latest in a series of anti-Christian punishments by the military…
Air Force: Reprimand Christian for opposing a gay marriage. Take action!
A Christian Air Force Technical Sergeant with 27 years experience was reprimanded, and faces the sudden termination of his career. His crime? Sending an email to a chaplain, complaining how the Christian chapel was desecrated by a homose xual ‘wedding’ ceremony that desecrated the Christian altar.
TSgt Layne Wilson was later told to prepare for retirement because his personal beliefs about homose xuality were not compatible with the military’s policies, reports Fox News.
“Last December Wilson wrote a letter to a person believed to be a chaplain at West Point. He stated his displeasure at news of a same-sex ceremony held in the Cadet Chapel.
“This is wrong on so many levels,” Wilson wrote. “If they wanted to get married in a hotel that is one thing. Our base chapels are a place of worship and this is a mockery to God and our military core values. I have proudly served 27 years and this is a slap in the face to us who have put our lives on the line for this country. I hope sir that you will take appropriate action so this does not happen again.”
“Instead of responding to the private email, the Commandant of Cadets notified the Utah Air National Guard – leading to an accusation that he had brought disgrace and discredit upon the Air National Guard and his conduct was inconsistent with the Air Force.”
[Dr. Chaps’ comment: Problem is, the airman has a right to not be punished for his religious beliefs. And the Utah ANG commander Lt. Col. Kevin Tobias who signed the illegal letter of reprimand (who also declined to comment when I asked him on Facebook), is apparently a domestic enemy of the Constitution who hates religious freedom. This Commander broke the law, not the airman, since the NDAA 2013 section 530 specifically prohibits reprisals against military members who express their religious beliefs. Let’s make sure this commander NEVER gets promoted again. Forward this email widely.]
Why are military chapels being desecrated, and Christian airmen punished for opposing that desecration of their sacred worship space? Let’s demand Congress investigate.

‘Gays’ threaten Professor for being Conservative. Take action!
The only conservative professor in Boulder at Colorado University is under fire by homose xual activists demanding he be punished because he dared question the value of gender re-education training about male students who dress like women.
“Student leaders at the University of Colorado are speaking out against Steven Hayward, the university’s first-ever visiting scholar in conservative thought, for statements he made in a recent interview and in a blog post.
“Chris Schaefbauer, CU Student Government president of student affairs, and Caitlin Pratt, student government director of safety and inclusion, said they’re concerned about Hayward’s ‘oppressive and discriminatory’ ideas,” Powerlineblog.com reports.
“The student leaders pointed to a post Hayward wrote on the blog Power Line in October titled ‘Off on a gender-bender,’ in which he described his discomfort and confusion after attending an orientation for new faculty members about gender identity.”
Watch! Dr. Chaps 7-minute TV commentary on Professor Hayward, threatened for being a true conservative at C.U. Boulder–>
Hayward writes: “I had to sit through [gender re-education training] at the University of Colorado orientation for new faculty. It was an interesting and tense moment: I’m sure I was among the only—if not the only—conservative in the room of roughly 100 new faculty, yet the sense of discomfort in the room over the gender-self-identification whim-wham was palpable. Several people asked whether the gender-re-identification privilege couldn’t be abused as a classroom disruption tactic. The answer the university’s diversity lawyer gave was, ‘Use your best judgment.'”
[Dr. Chaps’ comment: Just like Firefox CEO Brendan Eich was forced to resign for supporting natural marriage, now the Nazi-like fascists on the homose xual left want to hound all Christians or conservatives remaining in academia, to purge our thoughts or terminate our access. Resistance is futile, they claim, but God will vindicate us if we hold firm in our faith.]

Obama opens Ladies Restrooms to cross-dressing Men. Take action!
The Obama Administration has opened womens restrooms to cross-dressing men.
President “Obama’s Office of Personnel Management has published what it calls ‘Guidance Regarding the Employment of Transgender Individuals in the Workplace.’ This document speaks of ‘sex’ as something a person has ‘assigned’ to them only after they make it through the birth canal,” reports TownHall.com.
“Transgender individuals are people with a gender identity that is different from the sex assigned to them at birth,” says the guidance. “Someone who was assigned the male sex at birth but who identifies as female is a transgender woman. Likewise, a person assigned the female sex at birth but who identifies as male is a transgender man.”
The new guidance specifically addresses co-ed bathrooms and locker rooms:
“For a transitioning employee, this means that, once he or she has begun living and working full-time in the gender that reflects his or her identity, agencies should allow access to restrooms and (if provided to other employees) locker room facilities consistent with his or her gender identity,” say the guidelines.
Watch! Dr. Chaps TV interview with cross-dressing man who wants access to ladies bathrooms–>
According to the guidance, access to a restroom or locker room should not be conditioned on anatomy.
“While a reasonable temporary compromise may be appropriate in some circumstances,” say the guidance, ‘transitioning employees should not be required to have undergone or to provide proof of any particular medical procedure (including gender reassignment surgery) in order to have access to facilities designated for use by a particular gender.'”
[Dr. Chaps’ comment: Obama has now gone to full perversion as a matter of policy. When violating the privacy rights of all women and little girls, exposing them to naked men with mental disorders who pretend and deceive themselves, he now requires we believe their deception with them.]
Worse yet, if Nancy Pelosi’s ENDA becomes law, all Christian business-owners nationwide will be punished if they refuse to open ladies’ restrooms to cross-dressing men.

Senate votes 64-32 to punish Christian business owners. Take action!
The U.S. Senate voted 64-32 to force the gay ENDA agenda upon Christian Business Owners, trampling our religious freedoms, and forcing Christians into bankruptcy and lawsuits if they refuse to hire homose xuals that oppose their corporate mission.
Seven Senate Republicans and all Democrats betrayed family values conservatives. Roll Call reports GOP senators who supported moving forward with the bill included Susan Collins of Maine, Dean Heller of Nevada, Mark S. Kirk of Illinois, Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire, Rob Portman of Ohio, Orrin G. Hatch of Utah and Patrick J. Toomey of Pennsylvania.
“With supporters Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., and Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, not present, the vote initially appeared as if it would fall short. The drama was heightened by a small number of Republicans concerned about religious exemptions in the bill.
“Collins called Sen. Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., into the GOP cloakroom to broker a deal to get the needed votes, according to a senior Senate Democratic aide. And with supporters hovering one vote shy of the 60 needed, Portman and Toomey emerged to provide the 60th and 61st votes.”
Watch! Dr. Chaps’ new TV interview with Will Perkins on the history of Colorado Amendment 2 which banned homose xual “marriage” in Colorado.
The bill now moves to the House of Representatives.
“The bill would bar employers with 15 or more workers from using a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity as the basis for making employment decisions, including hiring, firing, compensation or promotion,” reports AP.
“Heritage Action said Friday that the bill would ‘severely undermine civil liberties … and trample on religious liberty’ while potentially undermining job creation. The conservative organization called for a vote against the bill and said it would record the vote on its legislative scorecard.”
[Dr. Chaps’ comment: For-profit business owners have NO religious exemptions, which will force Christians to choose: either quit your business or hire gays who may directly oppose the mission of your corporation. Owners of Bible publishers, Christian bookstores, Chick-Fil-A and Hobby Lobby will no longer be permitted to operate a business that honors God and fulfills their owner’s mission to promote godliness in the marketplace.]

Does Abortion lead to Suicide? Evidence in Two Cases
“Two high profile cases of suicide broke [recently] and the reports in both cases referenced abortion as having been a major factor in the subsequent depression that tragically ultimately led to suicide,” reports LifeNews.com.
“The first tragic suicide was that of an Australian model and TV star Charlotte Dawson, after a long battle with depression, originally triggered by an abortion back in 1999.
“According to news stories, it was decided that Dawson should abort her first child with Olympic swimmer husband Scott Miller because her due date coincided with the 2000 summer Olympics and (because) Miller was so focused on his own pursuits that a child was not welcome in the picture at the time.
“Dawson says they planned to try to have children later, but the marriage broke up shortly afterwards and she ultimately died without living children.
Watch! Dr. Chaps’ 7-minute TV commentary about the linkage between abortion and suicide among young women–>
“The second case reported in the Daily Mail relates to an Oxford student who committed suicide following the break up of her relationship with her boyfriend.
“The report however cites the torment she suffered following an abortion.
“A ‘talented and gifted’ Oxford University student hanged herself after her boyfriend of 11 months ended their relationship.
“Charlotte Coursier was struggling to cope with a ‘campaign of harassment’ inflicted on her by a college lecturer, as well as the torment of having aborted a pregnancy.

If you’re an insider to the pro-life movement, you recognize the potential divide between “incrementalist” pro-lifers who want to make abortions harder to do, and “personhood” pro-lifers who want to ban all abortions beginning at conception.
I just conducted a news-making interview that may help bridge the pro-life divide.
Carol Tobias, president of the National Right To Life Committee (NRLC), was just interviewed on our TV show PIJN NEWS and we discussed our differences.
Carol then endorsed Colorado’s ballot initiative, Amendment 67, “Brady’s Law” that would protect children beginning at conception, giving them legal status if killed by a criminal.
Watch! Dr. Chaps interviews President of National Right To Life, Carol Tobias, who endorses “Brady’s Law” A.67 in Colo.
This is an amazing interview!
It has potential to bridge any divide, for example, between American Right To Life vs. National Right To Life leaders, who now both AGREE that “Brady’s Law” should be passed in Colorado by public voters!
Please forward this email to other “insiders” you know in the pro-life movement.
[Dr. Chaps’ comment: Thank you to Carol and everybody getting “Brady’s law” on the ballot in Colorado this November. We can end the genocide of abortion as we know it, whether immediately or eventually, and we must.]

Sen. Rand Paul’s “Life Begins at Conception Act.” Can it stop abortion?
The U.S. Senator from Kentucky, Rand Paul (R) has introduced the “Life Begins At Conception Act” Senate Bill S. 583, which is modeled after “Personhood” legislation we supported in ballot initiatives in Mississippi, Colorado, and Florida.
The pro-life legislation simply applies the protections of the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution to unborn children, by defining them as “persons.” Personhood is a legal strategy that can potentially overturn Roe v. Wade and stop the abortion holocaust in America, as predicted by Justice Blackmun who wrote the 1973 ruling: “If this suggestion of personhood is established, the appellant’s case, of course, collapses, for the fetus’ right to life would then be guaranteed specifically by the [14th] Amendment.”
Watch! Dr. Chaps’ 6 minute commentary on the new S. 583 “Life Begins at Conception Act” by Sen. Rand Paul. While I applaud the 15 Senators who co-sponsor S. 583, there is some concern this legislation does not go far enough.
For example, my friend Tom Hoefling, former political director for Alan Keyes presidential campaign and current Chairman of America’s Party, has drafted a free petition on http://faxcongress.com to amend S. 583 to make it even stronger in the protection of innocent life. Tom writes:
“While we appreciate the declaration of principles that the Life at Conception Act represents, far more is needed than mere words to stop the daily killing of thousands of the weakest and most helpless among us…[The United States] Code must be stripped of provisions like the Laci Peterson law of 2004, Title 18, Chapter 1, §1841 and Title 10, Chapter 22 §919a, which, while rightly defining the child as an individual person, then allows the killing of certain classes of those innocent persons via the practice of human abortion. Without these amendments the legislation accomplishes little beyond mere political posturing.”
[Dr. Chaps’ comment: S.583 is a good first step, but we can do even better. So in addititon to signing my petition below, please also sign Tom Hoefling’s petition here.]

Obama desecrates Easter Vigil, invites ‘Gay’ Bishop to lead Prayers
The Washington Times reports President Obama selected an openly homose xual ‘bishop’ to personally lead worship prayers at the national Easter breakfast.
“When President Obama needed a preacher to fulfill the closing prayer duties at the annual White House Easter Prayer Breakfast, he turned to none other than the Episcopal Church’s first openly gay bishop — who said he was as shocked as anyone at the appointment.
“The Right Rev. Gene Robinson said in a tweet, accompanied by a photo of Mr. Obama behind a podium at the event: ‘POTUS preaches at the Easter prayer breakfast. Then, out of the blue, asks ME to close with prayer. OMG!’…
“The bishop, 66, retired from his New Hampshire diocese in 2013. He now spends time helping out the Washington Center for American Progress on gay rights issues, Newsmax reported.
“Even though he’s gay, Mr. Robinson once thought marriage should be defined as between a man and a woman, Newsmax said. But he later changed his mind and began an open gay relationship with Peace Corps worker, Mark Andrew. The two made it legal in a civil union ceremony in 2008, Newsmax reported.”
[Dr. Chaps’ comment: God will never bless sin, period. If Obama got 1,000 so-called ‘bishops’ to declare that sin is not sin, God’s Word would not change. Sin will never cease to be sin, and God’s commands will not change. Must Obama defile the celebration of Christ rising from the dead, with mockery of the meaning of His resurrection?]

Federal Judges force Texas, Kentucky, Virginia to Homose xualize “Marriage.”
“A federal judge has struck down Texas’ ban on gay marriage, but is leaving it in place pending a ruling by an appeals court later this year,” reports AP.
“Judge Orlando Garcia issued a preliminary injunction on the ban Wednesday, then suspended his ruling. Two gay couples had challenged the state’s constitutional amendment and a longstanding law banning gay marriage.
“Under federal court rules, a judge may suspend a law if he or she believes the plaintiffs have a strong case and will suffer if the law is enforced.
“Garcia said his injunction against Texas enforcing its ban will take effect once an appeals court has a chance to rule on the issue.”
Two other federal judges ruled to homose xualize “marriage” in Virginia and Kentucky, re-writing their states’ constitutions, despite a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that states can define marriage under the 10th Amendment and that federal judges do not have jurisdiction.
Federal Judge Arenda L. Wright Allen falsely claimed, “The Supreme Court has recognized repeatedly that marriage is a fundamental right protected both by the Due Process and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.”
Actually the opposite is true because in USA v. Windsor last year, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Kennedy ruled: “There is no federal law of domestic relations. In order to respect this principle, the federal courts, as a general rule, do not adjudicate issues of marital status even when there might otherwise be a basis for federal jurisdiction…The State’s power in defining the marital relation is of central relevance in this case quite apart from principles of federalism.”
Funny how Judge Allen ignored this part of Kennedy’s ruling, that essentially the 10th Amendment trumps any claim of homose xual “equality” under the 14th Amendment.
Watch! Dr. Chaps’ TV commentary on why federal judges in Virginia and Kentucky have ruled to recognized homose xual “marriage”–>
In Kentucky, another federal judge ruled out-of-state gay “marriages” must be recognized in the Bluegrass State, although that state need not issue in-state certificates.
“In 23-page a ruling…U.S. District Judge John G. Heyburn II concluded that the government may define marriage and attach benefits to it, but cannot ‘impose a traditional or faith-based limitation’ without a sufficient justification for it,” reports the Washington Post.
Religious people cannot vote, the judge argued:
“Assigning a religious or traditional rationale for a law does not make it constitutional when that law discriminates against a class of people without other reasons,” wrote Heyburn, an appointee of President George H.W. Bush.
[Dr. Chaps’ comment: This last quote, that religious people cannot vote for religious reasons, is tyrannical. Christians do not lose their right to vote simply because they are religious. These lawless judges replace Democracy with dictatorship, abrogate the U.S. Constitution, flaunt the laws of God and nature, assume jurisdiction they don’t have, and overturn the overwhelming vote of good people. May God have mercy on these tyrants’ souls, when they are judged in eternity.]

Marriage: All 50 states in 5 years? ‘Gay’ Agenda no longer hidden
For years they claimed no agenda. Now the homose xual left openly publishes their legal agenda on the front page of their newspapers. “Marriage in 50 states in 5 years” boasts the Washington Blade.
“It will take legislative work, it will take ballot work, it will take Congress and it will ultimately take the federal courts again to bring full [homose xual] ‘equality’ to every single corner of this country. But there is no ground we will leave unturned. Today we will fight aggressively on all fronts in all states,” said Chad Griffin of the Homose xual ‘Rights’ Campaign.
Will Christians work this hard, to defend their children from such an agenda to normalize sin and recruit your kids? Legislation. Ballot Work. Courts. All fronts in all states.
Sadly, it appears some House Republicans are caving in without a fight. “The House has determined, in light of the Supreme Court’s opinion in Windsor, that it no longer will defend that [DOMA] statute,” said lawyers for the House Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group (BLAG).
But we are not done. We are fighting back. We will fight to defend traditional marriage as Jesus defined it in Matthew 19:4-6, between one man and one woman. We must encourage Congress to NOT give up the fight.
I met several Congressmen last week in DC, and although they are discouraged, they are not ready to quit. But they must hear from us, that we still care about traditional marriage. Let’s send Congress a message today. Demand a Constitutional Marriage Amendment…
