Blacks and Hispanics Defend Indiana’s Law That Protects The Unborn Life From Radical Socialist Democrats
| INDIANAPOLIS, IN – Liberty Counsel filed an amicus brief at the Indiana Supreme Court on behalf of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference (NHCLC) and the Frederick Douglass Foundation that holds there is no right to abortion within the Indiana Constitution and defends the state’s pro-life law that limits the killing of innocent unborn children. Six weeks after the U.S. Supreme Court overruled the Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey abortion decisions, Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb signed Senate Bill 1 (SB1) into law which became effective as of September 15, 2022. This law prohibits abortion at any stage of gestation except in cases of rape, incest, fatal fetal anomalies or when the woman’s life is at risk. The NHCLC and Frederick Douglass Foundation represent millions of African Americans and Hispanics. These minority communities have been the direct target of abortion, and most Planned Parenthood’s abortion clinics are in black and Hispanic neighborhoods. Liberty Counsel also filed an amicus brief on behalf of the NHCLC and the Frederick Douglass Foundation at the U.S. Supreme Court in the Dobbs abortion case. In overturning Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, the High Court cited to this brief acknowledging that abortion has disproportionally impacted the black community. |

| Liberty Counsel’s amicus brief in Members of the Medical Licensing Board of Indiana, et al., v. Planned Parenthood Great Northwest, Hawaii, Alaska, Indiana, Kentucky, Inc.et al., states, “Abortion has a dark eugenic foundation that violates key protections of the Indiana Constitution, and the State of Indiana is right to take measures to limit it as much as possible. As members of or ministers to the African American and Hispanic communities, Amici have a strong interest in exposing the racist and eugenic history of the abortion movement.” Abortion has a dark eugenic foundation that violates key protections of the Indiana State Constitution. The founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger, and the early abortion movement purposefully attempted to utilize abortion as a means of population control among those populations they considered lesser than white Americans. Even though Planned Parenthood masquerades as a benevolent organization claiming to offer “women’s health care services” to disadvantaged women, the abortion organization is primarily the reason why black babies are aborted in America three times more often than white babies, and Hispanic preborn children are killed 1½ times more often than whites.The brief continues, “Indiana’s decision to protect innocent and defenseless human life in the womb should be upheld. The abortion industry in the United States is rooted in a eugenics movement that seeks to eradicate those who are deemed unwanted or undesirable…According to the Centers for Disease Control’s most recent data, Black women accounted for 33.6 percent of all reported abortions in 2018, even though they make up 13 percent of women in the United States. Black women also had the highest abortion rate (21.2 abortions per 1,000 women) and ratio (335 abortions per 1,000 live births). Further, abortion-induced deaths of the unborn in the Black community are 69 times higher than HIV deaths, 31 times higher than homicides, 3.6 times higher than cancer-related deaths, and 3.5 times higher than deaths caused by heart disease.” Liberty Counsel’s Founder and Chairman Mat Staver said, “Abortion is racist human genocide for profit. Liberty Counsel is proud to stand with Indiana on behalf of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference and the Frederick Douglass Foundation to finally end the dark, racist, eugenic history of abortion. We must make the womb a safe place once again.” |

Wyoming 221-lbs Marijuana Bust In Carbon County Was Property Of Cartel De Sinola
Drugs were being transported across the state of Wyoming using Interstate 80 and had made it as far as Carbon County.
Sunday, a Wyoming Highway Patrol initiated a routine traffic stop at about 1:16 pm just shy of mile marker #263 located just west of the Wagonhound Rest Area. In a media press release, the WHP Trooper observed suspicious factors and heard inconsistent statements.
A second WHP Trooper was called to the traffic stop and released his K-9 dog named “Bailey” who sniffed the out side of the vehicle and alerted on it. Troopers proceeded to search the vehicle and discovered 221 lbs of Marijuana of which sources are telling the media that it was Sinola Cartel property being transported across the state of Wyoming on it’s way to unknown locations and buyers.
The driver of the vehicle was taken to the Carbon County jail and booked on felony possession of controlled substance, intent to distribute and failure to maintain a single lane of travel.
More information will be released once the Wyoming News reporters can run down several street sources.
Two Million Apprehensions on Southern Border in one year, Yet Democrats want OPEN borders!
This year, for the first time ever, apprehensions at the southern border topped TWO MILLION.
At least 599,000 migrants who crossed the southern border evaded authorities in Fiscal Year 2022.
In comparison, in the final year of President Trump’s administration, there were only 458,000 apprehensions at the border.
Under the leadership of President Biden’s administration, the southern border crisis has spiraled out of control and is a threat to the safety of Montana families and communities.
President Biden’s administration continues to ignore the flood of illegal drugs that are coming across the wide-open border and straight into our Montana communities.
It’s unacceptable.
As your voice in the United States Senate, I will continue my push to secure our southern border and stop these deadly drugs from entering the country.
Sincerely,
Senator Steve Daines
Liberal Socialist, Activist Judge Ingrid Gustafson Bad For Montana Business VOTE REPUBLICAN
HELENA, Mont. – According to the Montana Republican State Central Committee, Liberal activist judge Ingrid Gustafson is bad for business. In fact, she is so bad, the Montana Chamber of Commerce gave her an “F Rating” in their latest judicial report card-the lowest of any other justice on the Montana Supreme Court.
The nonpartisan scorecard, which is created to help Montana’s business community track judicial rulings that impact Montana’s economy, evaluates each justice on their pro-business positions.
Small businesses make up over 99 percent of Montana’s business environment-employing over 250,000 Montanans.
Fair and impartial judges are a critical component of a thriving economy and during unprecedented economic times, Gustafson is the last person Montanans should trust to stand up for their small business.
Gustafson’s opponent constitutional conservative James Brown has a proven record of standing up for Montana farmers, ranchers, and small businesses. As a small businessman himself, Brown will consistently be pro-business and protect Montana.
U.S. Supreme Court Strikes Down Two Cases That Damaged First Amendment Freedom and Restored Free Speech, Free Exercise, Establishment Clauses.
| WASHINGTON, D.C. – In two cases decided by the U.S. Supreme Court on May 2 and June 27, the U.S. Supreme Court finally buried a terrible 51-year-old case that caused confusion and significant damage to the First Amendment Free Speech, Free Exercise, and Establishment Clauses. Justice Antonin Scalia described the so-called “Lemon Test” (named after the case) as a “ghoul in a late-night horror movie.” The “Lemon Test” comes from the 1971 case, Lemon v. Kurtzman. The “Lemon Test” grew out of this case and became a judicial wrecking ball used to censor religious speech, symbols, and displays. In Lamb’s Chapel v. Center Moriches Union Free School District, Justice Antonin Scalia criticized the “Lemon Test” and described it as follows: “Like some ghoul in a late-night horror movie that repeatedly sits up in its grave and shuffles abroad, after being repeatedly killed and buried, Lemon stalks our Establishment Clause jurisprudence once again, frightening the little children and school attorneys of Center Moriches Union Free School District. Its most recent burial, only last Term, was, to be sure, not fully six feet under: Our decision in Lee v. Weisman conspicuously avoided using the supposed test but also declined the invitation to repudiate it. Over the years, however, no fewer than five of the currently sitting Justices have, in their own opinions, personally driven pencils through the creature’s heart (the author of today’s opinion repeatedly), and a sixth has joined an opinion doing so. The secret of the Lemon test’s survival, I think, is that it is so easy to kill. It is there to scare us (and our audience) when we wish it to do so, but we can command it to return to the tomb at will. Such a docile and useful monster is worth keeping around, at least in a somnolent state; one never knows when one might need him.” On May 2, 2022, the Supreme Court signaled the death of the “Lemon Test” in Liberty Counsel’s case, Shurtleff v. City of Boston. The Justices ruled 9-0 that the City of Boston violated the Constitution by censoring a private flag in a public forum open to “all applicants” merely because the application referred to it as a “Christian flag.” The High Court rejected Boston’s argument that the city was justified in censoring religious viewpoints under the “Lemon Test.” Justice Gorsuch, joined in a concurrence with Justice Thomas, stated, “It’s time to let Lemon lie in its grave.” Justice Gorsuch continued, “How did the city get it so wrong? To be fair, at least some of the blame belongs here and traces back to Lemon v. Kurtzman, 403 U. S. 602 (1971). Issued during a ‘bygone era’ when this Court took a more freewheeling approach to interpreting legal texts, Food Marketing Institute v. Argus Leader Media, 588 U. S. ___, ___ (2019) (slip op., at 8), Lemon sought to devise a one-size-fits-all test for resolving Establishment Clause disputes. That project bypassed any inquiry into the Clause’s original meaning. It ignored longstanding precedents. And instead of bringing clarity to the area, Lemon produced only chaos. In time, this Court came to recognize these problems, abandoned Lemon, and returned to a more humble jurisprudence centered on the Constitution’s original meaning. Yet in this case, the city chose to follow Lemon anyway. It proved a costly decision, and Boston’s travails supply a cautionary tale for other localities and lower courts. The only sure thing Lemon yielded was new business for lawyers and judges.” |

| “Ultimately, Lemon devolved into a kind of children’s game. Start with a Christmas scene, a menorah, or a flag. Then pick your own ‘reasonable observer’ avatar. In this game, the avatar’s default settings are lazy, uninformed about history, and not particularly inclined to legal research. His default mood is irritable. To play, expose your avatar to the display and ask for his reaction. How does he feel about it? Mind you: Don’t ask him whether the proposed display actually amounts to an establishment of religion. Just ask him if he feels it ‘endorses’ religion. If so, game over,” wrote Gorsuch. On June 27, 2022, the Supreme Court, citing to the Shurtleff case, ruled 6-3 in Kennedy v. Bremerton School District in favor of a high school football coach who was fired for silently praying on the field after games. Relying on both the First Amendment Free Speech and Free Exercise Clauses, the High Court ruled that the Bremerton School District violated both provisions when it fired Coach Joe Kennedy for having prayer on the 50-yard line of the football field after the game. In addition, the High Court also finally buried the “Lemon Test,” citing Liberty Counsel’s 9-0 decision handed down on May 2, 2022, in Shurtleff v. City of Boston involving the Christian flag. The Shurtleff case set up the decision on the Coach Kennedy case authored by Justice Gorsuch. In Shurtleff, Boston relied upon the 1971 case of Lemon v. Kurtzman to argue that the Establishment Clause required the city to censor religious viewpoints. Like Boston, the Bremerton School District also relied on the so-called “Lemon Test” to argue it must censor the silent prayer of Coach Kennedy. In Shurtleff, the same flag could have flown IF Hal Shurtleff viewed it as secular. If he had referred to it as the Camp Constitution flag and not a Christian flag, Boston would have approved the application. In the Coach Kennedy case, IF Kennedy took a knee after to ponder secular thoughts, then his action would be permitted. But if his intention was a silent prayer, the district banned him. In the Kennedy case the High Court wrote, “What the District and the Ninth Circuit overlooked, however, is that the ‘shortcomings’ associated with this ‘ambitiou[s],’ abstract, and ahistorical approach to the Establishment Clause became so “apparent” that this Court long ago abandoned Lemon and its endorsement test offshoot.” The Supreme Court also wrote it “long ago abandoned Lemon [v. Kurtzman, about whether the establishment clause has been violated], and its endorsement test offshoot.” Instead of Lemon, the Court says, the Supreme Court “has instructed that the Establishment Clause must be interpreted by ‘reference to historical practices and understandings.’” Throughout the years, the “Lemon Test” has proven to be unworkable and has led to inconsistent and contradictory decisions on the constitutionality of 10 Commandment monuments and cross monuments like the “Peace Cross.” In February 2005, Liberty Counsel argued before the High Court in the Kentucky Ten Commandments case known as McCreary County v. ACLU of Kentucky, regarding constitutionality of the Ten Commandments display. Liberty Counsel also urged the Justices to abandon the “Lemon Test” and suggested that the Court create a new test for governmental acknowledgments of religion, such as the Ten Commandments, Nativity scenes, the Pledge, the National Motto, and every other such acknowledgment of religion. While the Supreme Court agreed to consider overruling Lemon, it chose not to do so. Instead, the Court further illustrated that Lemon was unworkable by using the Lemon test on the Kentucky Ten Commandments case but not using it in the Texas Ten Commandments case, both of which were argued and decided the same day. On February 2, 2021, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of a Nativity scene displayed annually at the Jackson County Courthouse, it was the first time that a court ruled that the “Lemon Test” does not apply to these holiday symbols. Liberty Counsel represented Jackson County in this precedent-setting case, Woodring v. Jackson County, Indiana. Applying a historical test, the Seventh Circuit ruled that the Nativity scene as part of the larger holiday display is constitutional. In doing so, the Woodring decision expressly parted from applying two of its prior opinions, stating: “Because we decline to follow our circuit precedent on similar Nativity scenes,” the option was circulated to “all judges in active service” to determine the interest in rehearing the case en banc. The Seventh Circuit specifically noted that the Supreme Court in the American Legion case expressly disregarded the “Lemon Test” in religious display cases where the display was “longstanding” and “established.” In the case of the Peace Cross, it was erected in 1925, nearly a century before it was challenged. The Woodring court noted that the Jackson County Nativity was in place for 15 years. Without clear guidance on what constitutes “longstanding” or “established,” the Woodring court was not able to conclude this shorter time frame met that standard. However, the Court went on to state that Lemon no longer applies to Nativity scene cases and a historical test should now be applied. On June 20, 2019, the Supreme Court ruled that the Bladensburg Peace Cross, a 40-foot cross honoring those who died during World War I, will remain standing. Though the High Court ruled in favor of the “Peace Cross,” it sidestepped the opportunity to overrule Lemon v. Kurtzman. Liberty Counsel’s Founder and Chairman Mat Staver said, “After decades of distorting the First Amendment and haunting government officials, the ‘Lemon ghoul’ is finally buried forever. Lemon has proven to be unworkable and has led to inconsistent and contradictory decisions on the constitutionality of religious displays, symbols, and words. Justice Scalia would be happy to see that the ‘Lemon Test’ is finally dead. Religious freedom and free speech lives.” |
Florida Board Of Medicine Bans Harmful Gender-Confused Minors From Cross-Sex Hormones, Puberty Blockers, Mutilating Surgery of Their Organs: But Democrats Scream That Child Mutilation Is OK
| ORLANDO, FL – The Florida Board of Medicine Legislative Committee approved a rule on Friday that would prohibit minors from receiving puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and mutilating surgery to remove healthy male or female organs. Minors currently taking puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones would be allowed to continue if they were part of an Institutional Review Board approved clinical trial at a university affiliated center. Florida Board of Medicine Member Nicholas Romanello proposed the rule, citing that the risks of these procedures outweigh the benefits as well as the lack of consistent, reliable, scientific peer reviewed evidence concerning efficacy and safety. The rule will move forward with subsequent meetings to the Board of Medicine and Board of Osteopathic Medicine for final approval. During the public comment period, several people shared their “de-transitioning” experiences and noted the irreversible effects of these procedures. One pregnant woman shared, “After nearly four years of being on testosterone, I decided to de-transition and accept my womanhood. My mental health improved exponentially. Three years later my menstrual cycle has still been irregular. I still have to shave my face daily and I struggle with hormonal acne.” |

| Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo said in an interview, “The media, the talking points they have, is that everyone agrees, it always works and this is the standard of care. Meanwhile a lot of doctors don’t agree with it and are afraid to speak. Countries in Europe like Sweden don’t provide this care anymore for children outside of a research setting because they’ve seen outcomes that are harmful and there’s really no medical standard here because it is totally experimental. How can giving puberty blockers to children who require hormones because their bodies are changing or removing their sex organs, how can that not be experimental? Of course it’s experimental. So that’s something…the Department of Health put forth to the Board of Medicine to consider for some rulemaking and basically, they’re still in that process. But they’re moving forward toward stopping these procedures in children, which is totally appropriate. That is the right thing to do for the health of children.” “When the evidence is unclear, I’ll say it’s unclear. And I won’t say that these therapies help people when unfortunately the research isn’t there. These are low quality studies that people cite as being definitive evidence, and they’re not definitive evidence. And it’s terrible they are taking advantage of the fact that most people don’t have the training to be able to decipher the difference,” Ladapo said. Dr. Ladapo earned his M.D. at Harvard Medical School and a Ph.D. in Health Policy at Harvard’s Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and has been published in many journals and had five research grants from the National Institute of Health doing cardiovascular disease. “This is a parallel to the COVID vaccines in this country. If you only listen to the media in this country, you would think it is normal for people to recommend these vaccines for babies, toddlers, for children, for young adults. If you only listen to the media in this country, you’d think it’s normal for you to provide puberty blockers to children, to provide ‘sex reassignment’ surgeries to children who have a diagnosis of transgender. Meanwhile, in the rest of the world, most of Europe are not pushing COVID-19 vaccines on children. They’re not even recommending them. Not pushing them on young adults. In the transgender area, backing off from providing this as routine care because they have been doing it longer than we have. There’s literally reports from governmental health organizations in Europe such as Sweden…where they basically say they can no longer recommend this as part of routine care because it’s not clear that the benefits outweigh the risks,” said Ladapo. |
