Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse, founder of the Ruth Institute, joins Father Jack to discuss the Institute's recent involvement in a major Supreme Court case on counseling freedom. She explains the arguments behind their amicus brief challenging Colorado's ban on “conversion therapy” and highlights the broader implications for free speech, religious liberty, and therapeutic choice. Dr. Morse also takes a critical look at the Trevor Project, a well-funded LGBTQ youth organization, raising concerns about its influence, federal funding, and online platforms. Tune in for a compelling conversation about the intersection of law, culture, and the future of family advocacy. Resources Mentioned: Ruth Institute: www.ruthinstitute.org Ruth Institute YouTube Channel Key Points: 1. Supreme Court Case and Amicus Brief: Dr. Morse and the Ruth Institute filed an amicus brief in a Supreme Court case challenging a Colorado law banning so-called "conversion therapy." The brief was submitted under the title “Brief of Sexual Orientation Scholars in Support of Petitioners.” The case involves a Christian therapist claiming the law restricts her religious and professional freedom. The Ruth Institute argues that bans on such therapy suppress alternative therapeutic approaches and violate rights of both therapists and clients. Father Paul Sullins provided statistical critiques in the brief, and Morse contributed case studies and analysis questioning assumptions about sexuality, including the claim that people are “born gay.” 2. Critique of the Trevor Project: Morse criticizes the Trevor Project, a suicide prevention group for LGBTQ youth, claiming it is ideologically biased and heavily funded. She notes that YouTube links the Trevor Project to content critical of LGBTQ identities, labeling alternatives like conversion therapy as harmful. Morse supports the Trump administration's decision to withdraw federal funding from the Trevor Project, redirecting it to general suicide prevention efforts. Concerns were raised about the Trevor Project's online community features, which critics have described as vulnerable to abuse. Morse references critiques from “Gays Against Groomers” and the California Family Council. 3. Underlying Themes: The conversation strongly critiques mainstream LGBTQ support structures and what Morse and the Ruth Institute view as coercive or ideologically driven policies. Emphasis is placed on the rights of therapists and clients to explore identity and trauma without mandated affirming approaches.

In this lively episode of Right to Life Radio, host John Gerardi and guest Jonathan Keller tackle the heated debate surrounding California's AB 1453, a bill proposing that UC and CSU student health centers provide adoption information. Through sharp commentary and legislative audio clips, they expose the fierce opposition from pro-abortion groups like Planned Parenthood and UC representatives, who claim offering adoption info is “non-compassionate.” Gerardi passionately argues that pro-abortion forces have systematically diminished adoption's cultural role since Roe v. Wade, contributing to fewer adoptions and the closure of agencies like Infant of Prague. With humor, personal anecdotes from an Easter vigil, and a nod to Gerardi's National Review piece, the episode blends wit with a sobering look at the state of adoption and abortion policy in California.

It's Monday, April 14th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus U.S. missionary abducted at gunpoint while preaching in South Africa Josh Sullivan, a U.S. Baptist missionary, was kidnapped at gunpoint as he preached Thursday evening at Fellowship Baptist Church in Motherwell, South Africa, reports International Christian Concern. According to police, four masked gunmen entered the church late last night during a prayer meeting with about 30 attendees. The assailants stole two cell phones before abducting the 45-year-old pastor and taking him in his own vehicle, a silver Toyota 4Runner. The car was later found abandoned about a mile from the church.   A husband and father of six, Sullivan has been a missionary in South Africa since 2018. Sullivan and his family are members of Fellowship Baptist Church, an independent Baptist church in Maryville, Tennessee, where Sullivan has been on staff. His wife and children are among those who witnessed the kidnapping. Here at The Worldview, we're reminded of the inspiring words of Christ following Peter's bold affirmation. In Caesarea Phillipi, Peter said that Christ was “the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” That's when Jesus said in Matthew 16:18, that upon that revelation, He would build His church, and “the gates of Hades will not overcome it.” Join me and pray that the Lord would honor Josh Sullivan's preaching and safely restore him to his family. China raises duties on US goods to 125% Last Friday, China hiked its tariffs on imports of U.S. goods to 125%, hitting back at Donald Trump's decision to single out the world's No.2 economy for higher duties, while dismissing the U.S. president's tariff strategy as "a joke," reports Reuters. Investors had been waiting to see how Beijing would respond to Trump's move on Wednesday to effectively raise tariffs on Chinese goods to 145% while announcing a 90-day pause on tariffs on dozens of other countries' goods. Last year, China purchased $150 billion of U.S. goods. White House Press Secretary prays to Jesus before briefing White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is the youngest person to ever serve the president in that capacity at the age of 27. Not only is she an articulate champion for President Donald Trump and the “Make America Great Again” agenda, but she is also an unashamed follower of Jesus Christ. Listen to this simple, powerful, and unapologetic prayer to her Savior  just moments before she walks into the lions' den of the White House Press Briefing. LEAVITT: “Lord Jesus, please give us the strength, the knowledge, the ability to articulate our words, have fun, and be confident. In Jesus' name, Amen.” Gone are the days that a lesbian God-hater stands at that podium. Judge: Columbia University activist Mahmoud Khalil can be deported Last Friday, an immigration judge in Louisiana ruled that Columbia University graduate student Mahmoud Khalil can be deported from America because he is a national security risk following his pro-Hamas demonstrations at Columbia, reports the Associated Press. Immigration Judge Jamee Comans gave the green light to the Trump administration's desire to deport Khalil.  Without such deportation, the government contended that his presence posed “potentially serious foreign policy consequences.” Colorado Governor signs anti-gun law Democratic Colorado Governor Jared Polis, a self-professed homosexual who has entered into a faux marriage with his “husband,” has dealt a heavy blow to Coloradans' Second Amendment freedom by signing Senate Bill 3 into law, reports the Colorado State Shooting Association. This oppressive permit-to-purchase scheme is a direct attack on their Second Amendment rights, afflicting Coloradans with bureaucratic hurdles to block their God-given liberties, President George Washington declared, “The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil interference—they deserve a place of honor with all that's good.” RFK, Jr vows to know causes of autism epidemic by September As he sat in Trump's Cabinet meeting, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. spoke to the autism epidemic and what he proposed to do about it. KENNEDY: “The autism rates have gone from one in 31 from one in 10,000 when I was a kid. At your direction, by September, we will know what has caused the autism epidemic.” Kennedy noted that HHS has “launched a massive testing and research effort that's going to involve hundreds of scientists from around the world.”  Once they have identified the causes, hopefully by September, HHS will advocate for the elimination of those exposures. Libraries partner with Planned Parenthood to offer free sex health resources And finally, if you thought the library was a place to borrow books for a research paper or read the local daily paper, think again! Twelve Sacramento, California Public Libraries now feature “sexual health resource cabinets” inside public libraries to give the public, including children, access to items like condoms, Sexually Transmitted Diseases tests, and pregnancy tests, reports CBS News. These cabinets are being stocked by none other than Planned Parenthood, America's Abortion Giant, which killed 392,715 pre-born babies in 2023 alone.  In fact, QR codes on the free literature not only enables library patrons to easily find their local Planned Parenthood affiliate, but also to get their immoral worldview through their God-forsaken website. Michael Reed, a parent, was disturbed by the easy access to the sexual health resource cabinets, especially for kids. REED: “It's a little shocking. It seems a little inappropriate just to target children that way.” But Todd Deck, the community engagement services manager for Sacramento Public Libraries, thought the libraries were doing something wonderfully noble. DECK: "We want to remove the stigma around these resources. Libraries are essential to healthy, thriving communities. So, having resources that are of interest and needs of that community is really critical. I do believe it is our responsibility to help have an informed community regardless of the topic -- that way people can make informed decisions about their health." Greg Burt, Vice President of the California Family Council, rejected the librarian's absurd worldview. BURT: “Now parents would have to be concerned. Instead of coming back with a book, they're going to come back with a condom. “This is really about cutting parents out. It's about sexualizing our kids at younger and younger ages.” In Matthew 18:6, Jesus said, “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in Me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.” Not surprisingly, the cabinets have been re-stocked multiple times since being installed six weeks ago as they have been set up both in the library's main hub and in the adult section. Elizabeth Johnston, a Christian mother of 10, is not surprised by the hostility to a Judeo-Christian worldview at the library. The American Library Association's one-time president Emily Drabinski, who served from July 2022 to 2024, was a self-avowed “Marxist lesbian.” She wrote a paper on “queering the catalogue” and said wildly inflammatory things about parents who do not want their children to read sexually inappropriate literature. So, keep in mind, the library is no friend of the family. Enter with caution.

In this episode of Right to Life Radio, John Gerardi and Jonathan Keller dive into California's Assembly Bill 54, a law designed to secure abortion pill supply lines while shielding providers from out-of-state legal challenges.

WE'RE DOOMED  Dr. Rachel Levine, a pediatric psychiatrist who has fathered multiple children and decided that he is a woman, is second in command at the department of Health and Human services. Is that crazy enough?    Dr. Levine says climate change is more damaging to blacks and he has a plan to help. Donna Jackson, Director of Membership Development for Project 21 Black Leadership Network, says, no thanks - the more the Biden administration tries to help, the worse things get.    There's a bipartisan bill working it's way through the California legislature that requires menstrual products in all girls and BOYS bathrooms beginning in the third grade. Sophia Lorey of the California Family Council says it's just one more attempt to “erase women.”   According to a story in the New York Post, men with “babygirl vibes” are what GenZ women are looking for. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Christian Outlook – October 21, 2023 Georgene Rice turns to Dexter Van Zile, of the Middle East Forum, to discuss the barbaric atrocity done to Israel by Hamas on October 7th.  Albert Mohler explains why Hamas is a terrorist organization and why schools like Harvard should not allow student groups to basically advocate for the genocide of Jews. Craig Roberts and Jonathan Keller, president of the California Family Council, discuss California's Assembly Bill 665 which would “amend, repeal, and add”  to the “Family Code, relating to minors.” He explains how it is essentially state-enabled kidnapping. John Hall and Kathy Emmons talk with Tim Challies, a pastor and writer, about his article, detailing why it's best to not assume motives.

Jonathan Keller is one of the nicest guys I know working in one of the most difficult places to advance pro-family, pro-life, pro-liberty measures.He heads up our sister organization, California Family Council, and does an unbelievable job in one of the most socialist leaning locales in all the country.At the same time, he reminds me, there were more Republicans who voted for President Trump in California than in all of Texas. In other words, that's quite a "remnant" of Truth followers to work with and Jonathan has engaged hundreds of thousands of them.On today's show, we'll focus most on the absurdly rational and common sense notion that parents have the inherent right to know if their children are "socially transitioning" in public schools.Despite what you might think of and know about California politics, a lot of good things are coming out of the Golden State. Support the show

While John Kennedy reads from two explicit books intended for children during a Senate hearing, we receive reports of two books inside a local school district that continue to feed the cultural sexual revolution.

Librarians have been known for shushing people, but a California library recently took things to a new level.  The Mary L. Stephens Davis Library played host to a bizarre scene of shutting down free speech. During a scheduled forum at the library for fair and safe sports for girls, Sophia Lorey was asked to leave due to her “misgendering” people who identify as trans. Sophia is Outreach Coordinator at the California Family Council, and she joins host Joseph Backholm to talk about her experience and discusses violations of free speech, the dangers of men competing in women's sports and why we should continue speaking out in truth.  Check out this important episode before you have to return it in two weeks!

Rick Astley does not appear on this podcast, but it's likely that he plays on repeat in all of the Democratic California state government offices, because they are “never gonna give up infringing on parental rights," and "never gonna let the transgender agenda down.” Host Joseph Backholm is once again joined by Jonathan Keller, president of the California Family Council, to unpack the thought processes and motives of California state legislators who seem driven to pass legislation that directly harms minors and families. They also discuss the recent failure of the California State Assembly to pass a bill that would make child trafficking a serious felony and Governor Gavin Newsom's (D) surprising response.

"If you love your children, leave California." That recent shocking statement by a sitting California state senator underscores just how far leftward California has moved in recent years. Pending legislation that would label parents who refuse to affirm their child's perceived gender identity as abusive is but one of a plethora of moves that have potential for putting families and individuals in danger. Host Joseph Backholm joined Jonathan Keller, president of the California Family Council to talk about these issues facing California and the impact they have on the rest of America.

This week Sophia Lorey from California Family Council joins to discuss the  death of AB 315 and AB 710. John has some speculation on why they died.

A new California bill would require that youth receive so-called “gender affirming care” … even if it means removing them from the custody of their parents to do so.  If passed, SB 107 would, according to the California Family Council, “empower California courts to take ‘temporary emergency jurisdiction' of children if they come to California for trans-drugs, surgery, or mental healthcare.”   This would not only apply to parents and children who are California residents, but to children who travel to California from anywhere in the country. As one attorney put it, “SB 107 may be the most brazen assault on fundamental parental rights in the history of this state.”  This bill is the culmination of destructive and backwards ideas: that gender affirmation means rejecting the body, that removing healthy organs is the right way to treat gender dysphoria, that “trans kids” are expressing an innate identity instead of a temporary experience, and that parents who question invasive procedures deserve to have their kids taken away from them.   Ideas have consequences. If this bill becomes law, there will be many victims of these bad ideas.  

This is not hearsay. This is not hyperbole. California Democrats really are trying to decriminalize and legalize infanticide. California Bill AB2223 would shield a mother from civil and criminal charges for any “actions or omissions” related to her pregnancy, “including miscarriage, stillbirth, or abortion, or perinatal death." For decades, Pro-lifers have argued there is no moral difference between killing a child days before birth or days after birth. California's abortophiles now agree and are refusing to protect infants as well. Jonathan Keller of California Family Council joins Seth today to give you everything you need to know about AB2223, how to join us in defeating this bill, and how this bill is just one cog in the abortion machine that aims to transform the Golden State into a sanctuary state for murdering babies.  To learn more about AB2223: https://www.californiafamily.org/ab2223/ Date: 04/14/22 To help UnAborted create more pro-life content and take our content to the streets, become a Patron of the show at https://www.patreon.com/unaborted To help Seth reach more high school and college students through pro-life presentations around the country, become a monthly supporter at https://prolifetraining.com/donate/
