Don’t Leave Faith-Based Adoption Agencies Unprotected; Support HB 2678

HB 2678, Adoption Protection, is needed in Kansas.  If not passed, it will leave our adoption agencies open to lawsuits and legislation that would force faith-based adoption agencies to adopt out to same-sex couples or shut down.  This has already happened in several states.  Don’t let Kansas be the next. Massachusetts and the District of […]

As the country wrestles with the widespread problem of sexual assault (as embodied in the recent “#MeToo” phenomena) and how to respond to it, we must consider the multiple factors that lie at the root of the issue.

3-12-18 State Legislative Update – Faith-Based Adoptions and Hate Crimes (Again)

Hate Crimes Legislation is never considered dead until the legislative session is over. And that cannot be truer concerning the resuscitation of the “hate crimes” bill. Last Thursday, in a crafty maneuver, the “hate crimes” bill found new life by placing the “hate crimes” language into SB 373.  The bill passed out of the House […]

Ask Your U.S. Senators to Help Fight Sex Trafficking!

Two Bills in Illinois General Assembly Mandates K-12 LGBTQ Contributions in American History

In a brazen attempt to indoctrinate public school age children K-12 to embrace the LGBTQ lifestyle, State Sen. Heather Steans (D-Chicago) and State Rep. Anna Moeller (D-Elgin) have sponsored SB 3249 and HB 5596 respectively.  These bills are considered companion bills and are presently in their respective committees and gaining co-sponsors.

State Legislative Update: Faith-Based Adoptions and Marijuana

Last Wednesday was Crossover Day in the state legislature. Crossover Day is the last day for bills to “cross over” from one chamber to the other and still have an opportunity to become law. Many bills we opposed (casinos and “hate crimes”) failed to pass out of either chamber so they are most likely dead. […]
