Planned Parenthood argued that an unborn baby does not have a “heart” until all four chambers of the heart are formed at about nine weeks gestation. Constitutional expert, lawyer, author, pastor, and founder of Liberty Counsel Mat Staver discusses the important topics of the day with co-hosts and guests that impact life, liberty, and family.

A Missouri Supreme Court ruling last week has, for now, reinstated the state's ban on abortion. It's a familiar development for doctors and patients here in Missouri — and, for Planned Parenthood, part of a yearslong fight that has only grown more entrenched. The recently appointed chief medical officer of Planned Parenthood Great Rivers, Dr. Margaret Baum, shares her reaction to the Missouri Supreme Court decision and the closing of Planned Parenthood clinics nationwide. She also responds to claims by Missouri's Attorney General Andrew Bailey that Planned Parenthood uses “moldy equipment” and “unqualified medical practitioners.”
In Hour 1 of the Marc Cox Morning Show, Marc covers the Missouri Supreme Court's decision that once again halts abortions in the state, reinstating Missouri's trigger law. Then, a viral Tesla Cybertruck confrontation takes a legal turn as the man who vandalized Christian Kirk's vehicle with an anti-Elon sticker is now facing felony charges. And in “Kim on a Whim,” Kim St. Onge shares the emotional story of a woman ordered by her HOA to remove a Memorial Day display honoring her fallen soldier brother, sparking outrage over patriotism and property rights.
In South Carolina, the state Supreme Court just issued an important ruling on abortion—unanimously voting to uphold the state's six-week abortion ban. This ruling came as a response to a challenge of that law by Planned Parenthood.Since this ruling in South Carolina represents a great microcosm of what's happening throughout the whole country, let's use it as a springboard to examine abortion laws throughout the country.

Amber Nicole Thurman was a 28-year-old medical assistant, devoted mother from Georgia, and one of the first women to die following the Dobbs decision. In August 2022, she sought a medication abortion due to an unplanned pregnancy. Following the procedure, she experienced severe complications, including a grave infection. Despite her critical condition, medical staff at Piedmont Henry Hospital delayed performing a necessary dilation and curettage (D&C) procedure for over 20 hours, reportedly due to concerns about Georgia's restrictive abortion laws. In this episode, Amber Thurman's mother, Shanette Williams, speaks with Jen Taylor-Skinner about her daughter's death, the delayed care, and the urgency to restore reproductive rights across the country. Episode Resources: ProPublica: Abortion Bans Have Delayed Emergency Medical Care.

Infant mortality is rising faster than expected in states with strict abortion limits or bans. Two new studies in the medical journal JAMA reveal how restricted access to abortion can lead to higher deaths, especially for women of color. Suzanne Bell, one of the authors of the study and an assistant professor at Johns Hopkins University, joins The Excerpt to explain the correlation between abortion bans and increased infant mortality.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Consumer confidence had the biggest drop since August 2021, due mostly to concerns about the president’s proposed tariffs and high prices on staples like eggs. Sepsis cases in pregnant women have spiked roughly 50% since Texas’ abortion ban took effect in 2021, according to ProPublica’s new analysis. Sepsis is a life-threatening infection, often seen in the elderly and those with prolonged hospital stays. Jennifer Finney Boylan wrote an acclaimed memoir in 2003 about changing from a man to a woman. She’s back with a new book about life before, and after, her transition.

It's Monday, December 23rd, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes written by yours truly and heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. Filling in for Adam McMannus I'm Ean Leppin. Attack on a Christmas market in Germany Fox News reported on Friday that a festive Christmas market in Eastern Germany erupted into chaos when a car was driven into a group of people in the city of Magdeburg. Between 60 and 80 people have been injured and at the time of this report 2 had been killed including a child. The Associated Press reports that the suspect is a 50 year old Saudi doctor who came to Germany back in 2006. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said, ‘My thoughts are with the victims and their families. We stand by their side and by the side of the people of Magdeburg.' Pray for all of the people involved that God will bring comfort and peace in this tragic time. Psalm 34:18 - The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed spirit. Pray for Believers in Nigeria as Christmas Day Approaches As reported by Mission Network News Christians in Nigeria are facing an increased level of persecution for the upcoming Christmas holiday. The terrorist group Boko Haram has historically attacked during past Christmas celebrations. Darrel Templeton with Megavoice comments on the threat. TEMPLETON: "They're trying to scare and terrorize the Christians, to keep them from being bold in their faith, in gathering and in exercising their religious freedoms." Templeton goes on to report that the military and police force in Nigeria sometimes act more as accomplices than as watchguards. Nigeria is currently number 6 on the list of countries where it is most dangerous to be a Christian according to Open Doors. Boko Haram isn't the only group that persecutes believers. The climate in Nigeria is currently an open season on believers. It has been reported that homes are looted and buildings have been burned. Word from missionaries on the ground in Nigeria report that believers there recognize the blessing of suffering in relation to their faith. Templeton with Megavoice tells us how we can pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ. TEMPLETON: "They're not praying, or asking us to pray, that they be taken away from this, but they ask for protection and they ask for boldness." 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 But He said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong. Georgia Supreme Court to consider an abortion ban As documented by the Center for Reproductive Rights. In July 2022 a court case in Georgia, SisterSong v the State of Georgia sought to block HB 481, which bans abortions after approximately 6 weeks. On November 15th 2022 Judge Robert McBurney of the Superior Court of Fulton County struck down the ban as void. He further found that a subsequent change in Federal constitutional law, the overturning of Roe v Wade, does not revive the ban. Instead, if the legislature wishes to ban abortion, it must pass a new law. Just a week later on Nov 23rd the Georgia Supreme Court granted an emergency stay of the injunction, allowing the ban to take effect once again while the state's appeal continued. As of October 7th of this year The Supreme Court of Georgia issued a ruling staying the trial court decision striking down HB 481. This reinstated the abortion ban while the appeal proceeds at the Georgia Supreme Court. In response The Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel Erik Baptist who is also director of the ADF Center for Life has filed a brief on behalf of the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine asking the court to reverse the lower court ruling that permanently blocks Georgia's pro-life Living Infants Fairness and Equality Act or LIFE Act. The LIFE Act protects the life of an unborn child when a fetal heartbeat is detected. Erik Baptist is quoted as saying, ‘The Georgia Superior Court made a critical error when it pitted the interests of a mother against those of her child as a reason for ruling the LIFE Act unconstitutional. The Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine has a vested interest in holistic care for both mother and child, and we are urging the court to reverse the lower court's decision and follow U.S. Supreme Court precedent that allows states to enact and enforce pro-life laws.' Hope Being Delivered Through Chainsaws for Christ in North Carolina Hurricane Helene devastated Western North Carolina earlier this year. CBN News reports that some 120,000 homes were damaged or destroyed. As temperatures have dropped and winter is settling in, displaced families are facing desperate situations and continuing to rely on the churches and faithbased community for help. Reverend Scott Rogers with the Asheville Buncombe Community Christian Ministry says The churches are the heartbeat of this effort… ROGERS: "The churches are the heartbeat, and, if you will, the nervous system, the spinal cord, that gets the message of the needs to the churches, back to our central support systems, and that's what God's people do. That's what the Bible Belt is all about." This Christian Ministry unites 300 churches and 5000 volunteers to provide temporary shelter, food, clothing and long term recovery assistance. Another ministry that has been helping out in North Carolina is Chainsaws for Christ. (Facebook link here) It's founder Brent Allmon talks about what motivates him to serve. ALLMON: "And I just want to help them. People help me, and God loves me. He loves you. He loves everyone that's listening to this. I just want them to know that there is peace and hope in the name of Jesus Christ." Literally everything that Brent and Chainsaws for Christ brings has been provided by the Lord through donations. The chainsaws, tools, food, volunteers, RV that he sleeps in to the Christmas toys they are providing to the community. So what does Brent charge to those receiving services from Chainsaws for Christ? ALLMON: "For us, zero. The Lord paid it over 2000 years ago, and we get the opportunity to give back just a little bit."
