It's Thursday, November 20th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Muslims in Congo killed 17 patients in a Christian hospital Sheer evil has struck Africa again. Last Friday, Muslim militants with the Allied Democratic Forces killed 17 people at a Christian hospital in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. The armed rebels killed patients in their hospital beds, including women who were nursing their babies. Such civilian massacres are becoming more common in the Christian-majority area. Congo is ranked 35th on the Open Doors' World Watch List of the most dangerous countries to be a Christian. Open Doors' profile for the country notes, “Allied with the Islamic State group, the [Allied Democratic Forces] abduct and kill Christians and attack churches, leading to widespread terror, insecurity and displacement.” European Court of Human Rights denied rights of unborn humans The European Court of Human Rights ruled in favor of abortion last week, denying the rights of unborn humans. The case began when a woman wanted to get an abortion in Poland after discovering her baby had a genetic disorder. However, Poland's Constitutional Tribunal had struck down abortion on the basis of disability. So, the woman travelled abroad for an abortion and challenged Poland's decision. The European court ruled against Poland in the case. Dr. Felix Böllmann with Alliance Defending Freedom International warned, “This judgment sends a troubling signal that the Court is again willing to overstep its role. The Court should return to its original mission of protecting genuine human rights, not inventing false ones.” Isaiah 10:1-2 says, “Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees, who write misfortune, which they have prescribed to rob the needy of justice ... that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless.” U.S. pregnancy centers are seeing growth In the United States, pregnancy centers are seeing growth in recent years. The Charlotte Lozier Institute released its 2025 National Pregnancy Center Report. The study found 2,775 pregnancy centers provided over $452 million in care, education, and material goods to families in 2024. The centers also saw over one million new clients for the first time last year. That's the equivalent of each location serving a new client every day! The phase out of the unnecessary Department of Education The U.S. Department of Education announced Tuesday it is handing off major responsibilities to other federal agencies. This is part of the Trump administration's plan to close the department. The plan transfers major programs to the Departments of Labor, Interior, State as well as Health and Human Services. Listen to comments from U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon. MCMAHON: “The announcement really follows the plan that President Trump has had since Day 1, and that is returning education to the states. He fully believes, as do I, the best education is that that is closest to the child, and not one run from a bureaucracy in Washington D.C.” Only 11% of U.S. churchgoers have Biblical worldview Christian researcher Dr. George Barna released his latest survey on the worldview of Americans, specifically regular churchgoers. The report found only 11% of churchgoers have a Biblical worldview. Only 54% say the Bible is the inspired, error-free Word of God. About 50% or less believe the Bible speaks clearly on moral issues. And 32% of churchgoers now prefer socialism over capitalism. Dr. David Closson, Director of the Center for Biblical Worldview at the Family Research Council, commented on the study. He said, “The answer to these trends is not despair, but a return to the faithful proclamation of God's Word. We must help Christians connect their zeal for God with the knowledge of God, as Scripture commands in Romans 10:2.” That verse says, “For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.” WalMart CEO and Berkshire Hathaway CEO retire And finally, CEOs of U.S. companies are leaving at record rates this year. This comes as many executives are reaching retirement age. For example, 59-year-old Doug McMillion will retire from being CEO of Walmart next year after leading the retailer's growth for over a decade. In another case, 95-year-old Warren Buffett is stepping down as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway this year. After 60 years in leadership, the renowned investor sent out his final letter to shareholders last week. In his final thoughts, Buffett wrote, “Greatness does not come about through accumulating great amounts of money. When you help someone in any of thousands of ways, you help the world. Kindness is costless but also priceless. Whether you are religious or not, it's hard to beat The Golden Rule as a guide to behavior.” Buffett's billions funded millions of abortions Too bad Buffet has not used his resources to treat the unborn children in the womb with such Golden Rule kindness. Instead, the Media Research Center reported that Buffett's grants to abortion groups through the Buffett Foundation totaled at least $1.3 billion between 1989 and 2012. (The tax returns from 1997 to 2000 were missing.) The New York Times reported, “Most of the [Buffet] Foundation's spending goes to abortion and contraception.” Buffett's biographer describes him as having “a Malthusian dread” of population growth among the poor. And the Buffett Foundation's spending in this area was accelerating rapidly as the 2000s unfolded. Beneficiaries of Buffett's deadly giving include $300 million for abortion giant Planned Parenthood as well as millions more for the National Abortion Rights Action League, the National Abortion Federation, Catholics for a Free Choice, Abortion Access Project, Population Council, Marie Stopes International, the Center for Reproductive Rights, and dozens of other pro-abortion advocates. In addition, the Buffett Foundation gave money that was instrumental in creating the abortion drug RU-486 and pushing it through clinical trials. Tragically, 63% of mothers who abort in America today use this deadly drug to kill their babies. Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, Novem ber 20th, in the year of our Lord 2025.

In this eye-opening conversation, we sit down with Dr. Ingrid Skop — a board-certified OB/GYN and Vice President of Medical Affairs at the Charlotte Lozier Institute — to unpack the critical issues surrounding women's health care. Dr. Skop shares her firsthand medical insight on the realities of abortion procedures, the risks of substandard care, and what women really need when facing unplanned pregnancies.We explore alternatives to abortion clinics, the importance of parental involvement laws, and the decline of essential services like cancer screenings and contraception. With compassion and clarity, Dr. Skop sheds light on what true, comprehensive care looks like — and how we can better support women both physically and emotionally.This is a conversation about facts, not politics. About healing, not headlines. And most of all, about the value of every woman and every life.https://lozierinstitute.org/team-member/ingrid-skop-m-d-facog/Recent News Summary:Leading up to a major budget vote in Congress, the U.S. House Rules Committee held an intense 21-hour hearing packed with high-profile Democratic leaders — including Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, House Whip Katherine Clark, and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi — pushing for amendments that included increased welfare spending without work requirements and continued funding for Planned Parenthood.One of the central points of contention was the claim that proposed budget cuts represented the “largest cut to health care in American history.” Critics argue that equating abortion with healthcare is misleading and point to serious concerns about Planned Parenthood's practices.Reports — including a disturbing exposé from The New York Times — have shed light on troubling conditions in some Planned Parenthood facilities, including botched procedures, leaking sewage, and poor medical oversight. These revelations come amid ongoing scrutiny of the organization's influence and funding, with statistics showing: Nearly 400,000 abortions annually performed by Planned Parenthood — about 40% of all abortions in the U.S. A 97% abortion rate for pregnant women who visit their clinics. A decline in other services: cancer screenings, pap smears, and contraception services have all dropped sharply. $2 million per day in taxpayer funding still flows to the organization, despite these declines. Meanwhile, over 5 women have reportedly died from complications related to abortions performed there.Critics also highlight that there are over 15 times more community health centers nationwide that provide broader, life-affirming care without performing abortions — offering a more comprehensive and safer option for women in need.House Speaker Mike Johnson vowed to push the bill through by July 4th, saying the time has come to redirect federal resources toward truly compassionate and high-quality women's healthcare.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support.

It's Monday, February 24th, 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 18-year-old Christian received bail on false blasphemy charges An 18-year-old Christian in Pakistan, who has been imprisoned for more than 17 months on false blasphemy charges against Islam, is expected to be released on bail this week, reports MorningStarNews. After Akash Karamat won bail on December 19th for one of three blasphemy cases filed against him, judges granted bail on February18th for the other two cases. Psalm 5:12 says, “Surely, LORD, you bless the righteous; You surround them with Your favor as with a shield." Pope Francis has kidney failure On Sunday, the Vatican revealed that Pope Francis has ‘mild kidney failure' and remains in critical condition, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Prior to that, Francis was taken to the Gemelli Hospital in Rome on February 14th for bronchitis, and since then was diagnosed with double pneumonia in what was described as a “complex” medical scenario. On Saturday the pope received a blood transfusion and “high flows” of oxygen. Remarkable prayer by HUD Secretary at White House On Saturday night, President Donald Trump asked Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner, a former NFL football player, to open the National Governor's Association meeting at the White House with prayer. Listen. TRUMP: “I'd like to ask Scott Turner, who's our Secretary of HUD -- he's a great young man, and he's a tremendous, tremendous talent -- and I'd like to ask you to say grace. Thank you. Thank you, Scott, congratulations.” TURNER: “Thank you, sir. Thank you, Mr. President. Let's pray together. “Father, we're so grateful to have this opportunity to gather together, Father, for such a time as this, Lord. Father, we thank You for President Trump. Lord God, we thank You for the First Lady. We thank You for Vice President Vance and the Second Lady. Lord God, I pray that You will be an Iron Dome of protection around them and their families. Lord God, we thank you that You are a sovereign Father and You're a good, good Father. “And tonight, Father God, I thank You for the governors that have gathered here. Lord, thank You for their service. I pray You would give them wisdom and clarity and understanding. God, I pray You will be with them and their families. Lord God, I pray and thank You for my colleagues in the cabinet that are here tonight. “Lord God, we know that You have ordained this time before the foundations of the world. Father, we thank You tonight that, as we gather and as we fellowship, Lord Jesus, that You would be glorified. And Father, as President Trump as the leader of this nation, Lord God, as he every day, leads and serves, Father, I pray that You would give him great favor. God, I pray that You would open his eyes to see like he's never seen before, that You would open up his ears to hear Your voice. And Father God, you would give him divine insight and divine wisdom as he leads and serves this country. And Lord, tonight, we pray that the joy of the Lord would be our strength because we are happy tonight because You saw fit to bring us together. We love You. We honor You. … We give You the glory, in Jesus' name, Amen.” Trump rebukes Maine Governor in person over men in women's sports Later Saturday evening, President Trump talked to the fifty governors in the White House about his commitment to ban men from playing in women's sports. It was within this context, that he personally confronted Maine's Governor Janet Mills, reports The Christian Post. Listen. TRUMP: “Two weeks ago, I signed an executive order banning men from playing in women's sports. Many Democrats are fighting me on that. I hope you continue, because you'll never win another race. It's just crazy. If you look at what happened with the boxing. If you look at what happened with the weight lifting numbers where a record that hadn't been broken for 19 years got shattered. A guy walks up, he had transitioned, and he knocked out that record by about 100 pounds. That would be a record not going to be broken again. So, we put a ban on it to protect women. If you watch the Olympics, you had two transitioned people that were fighting in the women's boxing, that women's boxing category, and if you saw that it was brutal. “The NCAA has complied immediately, by the way. That's good, but I understand Maine. Is Maine here? The governor of Maine? GOV Mills: “Yeah, I'm here.” TRMP: “Are you not going to comply with it?” MILLS: “I'm complying with state and federal laws.” TRUMP: “We are the federal law. Well, you better do it. You better do it, because you're not going to get any federal funding at all if you don't. And by the way, your population, even though it's somewhat liberal, although I did very well there, your population doesn't want men playing in women's sports, so you better comply. You better comply, because otherwise you're not getting any, any federal funding.” MILLS: “I'll see you in court.” TRUMP: “Every state. … Good. I'll see you in court. I look forward to that. That should be a real easy one. And enjoy your life after Governor, because I don't think you'll be in elected politics. “Every state has a responsibility to comply with Title IX. They have an obligation, a legal obligation, and we'll be enforcing aggressively, and we're going to be protecting our citizens.” You can send Maine Governor Janet Mills an email through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com urging her to ban men from women's sports. Or you can send her a short, two-sentence letter. Governor Janet Mills, 1 State House Station, Augusta, ME 04333. Genesis 1:27 says, “"So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created them; male and female He created them." Despite killing 392,715 babies, Planned Parenthood's tax funding up 43% A fact sheet produced by the Charlotte Lozier Institute based on Planned Parenthood's most recent annual report states that, since 2010, the Murder Giant's federal revenue has increased by some 43%. During that same period, its total services have decreased by 17%, with even larger percentage declines for particular services. Contraceptive services are down 39%, cancer screenings are down by 72% for breast exams and 74% for pap tests, and prenatal services are down by a whopping 80%. One so-called “service” at Planned Parenthood continues to increase, however: abortion. In the most recent service year, Planned Parenthood carried out 392,715 abortions, a record toll of death. Plus, its net income for the service year was $178.6 million, leaving it with net assets in excess of $2.5 billion. MSNBC fired Joy Reid And finally, MSNBC fired professional race baiter Joy Reid after she lost 28% of her viewership within the last year, reports Fox News. REID: “We've laid out the stakes in this crucial election, where one side stands for freedom while the other meets the textbook definition of fascism. Namely, a far-right dictatorial regime like [Adolf] Hitler's Germany or [Francisco] Franco's Spain or [Benito] Mussolini's Italy.” Libs of TikTok tweeted, “Turns out calling your political opponents racist Nazis every night for an hour doesn't get viewers.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, February 24th, in the year of our Lord 2025.

Can you believe it? Even The New York Times: yep, that New York Times... published an investigation calling out Planned Parenthood’s shocking negligence and dark underbelly. In this episode of Trending, Timmerie chats with Dr. Ingrid Skop, an OB-GYN and VP at the Charlotte Lozier Institute, detailing this bombshell report. Major Red Flags Revealed: Botched Abortions: A woman in New York thought she had an abortion, only to give birth 12 weeks later to a baby who sadly passed away. She’s now suing. Horrific Malpractice: Misplaced IUDs, failed procedures, and even birth control implants causing nerve damage. Sickening Conditions: One clinic had a sewage leak so bad it made patients vomit. Neglected Patients: Positive STD results never passed on, leading to untreated infections. But... Where’s the Money Going? $700M in taxpayer money. $500M in private donations. $90M in COVID loans. Yet, clinics are underfunded, staff are poorly trained, and turnover rates hit 50% a year. The article makes it clear: Planned Parenthood isn’t about women's health; it’s about abortions and lobbying. What’s the Real Choice? Dr. Skop mentions that there are 3,000+ pregnancy resource centers across the U.S. offering free services: ultrasounds, counseling, material support, you name it. These centers are powered by people who actually care about women and their babies. Timmerie and Dr. Skop emphasize this: Planned Parenthood markets "choice," but real choice means support, love, and options, not pressure and pain. Bottom Line: Even the NYT couldn’t sweep this under the rug. It’s time we help shine more light on the truth and support real women’s healthcare that values both moms and their babies.

After the Civil War, the equal protection clause was added to the Constitution as part of the 14th Amendment to protect the rights of black Americans. Simply stated, the equal protection clause provides that every American is to be treated equally under the law. In the case United States v. Skrmetti, attorneys representing the U.S. government argued Wednesday before the Supreme Court that the clause in the Constitution prevents states from banning transgender medical treatments for minors. (The case, which comes out of Tennessee, is named after that state's chief law enforcer, Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti.) The problem with the government's argument, Heritage Foundation senior legal fellow Sarah Parshall Perry says, is that the high court already has determined that the equal protection clause applies only to immutable characteristics, qualities someone is born with, such as race or nationality. “The Supreme Court has never determined that something that is subjective and internal, something that you choose and you act upon, is sufficient for constitutional protection,” Perry says on The Daily Signal's “Problematic Women” podcast. The Supreme Court has been asked to give protection under the equal protection clause to individuals with a certain poverty status or education level, Perry says, but “both times the Supreme Court has said, ‘No way.'” The case before the high court follows passage of a Tennessee law banning transgender medical treatments for anyone under 18. Perry predicts that the court will send the issue back to the American people, allowing each state to pass laws regarding minors and such gender treatments. Perry joins this episode of “Problematic Women” to discuss the high-profile case and its likely outcome. Also on today's show, we discuss President Joe Biden's decision to pardon his son Hunter Biden. And later, we sit down with Dr. Ingrid Skop, vice president and director of medical affairs for Charlotte Lozier Institute, to discuss the organization's recent study on the abortion pill.

The Power of Persuasion. Believing a lie as if it were the truth, this is what happens when the truth is eschewed and manipulated for political science purposes. There is an all-out assault on the human psyche…for the truth…and if we cannot find truth then we are all in big trouble!! Understanding the power of motivation, the ability to move an individual is important in understanding the Mass Formation and Propagandizing of the masses. The same things that motivate a person to act or believe are needed to move groups of people. Since we are unconscious creatures, we can be manipulated if not consciously aware of the wiles of our enemy. Dr. Ingrid Skop, a pro-life OB/GYN and Medical Director of the Charlotte Lozier Institute, will join Mr. Black and discuss some lies the media is telling on behalf of Harris and at the expense of the lives of the unborn and the health of those mothers! It was Jesus who said the truth with set you free. It was James A. Garfield who added, but first, it will make you miserable. The Truth is an important tool for the Warrior.

I could hear the trembling in her voice when I returned her call. “I took the abortion pill, and I am so sorry that I took it”, she whispered. “Is it true that we can reverse its effect?” Dr. Ingrid Skop is Medical Director of the Charlotte Lozier Institute and she recounts the story which ends with a healthy daughter born a little over seven months later.

Democrats are blaming pro-life laws (and Donald Trump) for the death of Amber Thurman...and using her tragedy to promote unlimited abortion nation-wide. Let's cut through the lies--and save the lives of vulnerable women and children. Dr. Ingrid Skop, Vice President at the Charlotte Lozier Institute, is a board-certified OB/GYN who has delivered more than 5,000 babies. Unfortunately, she also has first-hand experience treating women for life-threatening complications of the abortion pill. She says we must place the blame where it belongs – not on pro-life laws that protect both mother and child, but on the abortions, intended to end the lives of unborn children that ended up taking the lives of their mothers, too.The Lozier Institute: https://lozierinstitute.org/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/faith-works-live-with-rebekah-haynie--5411714/support.

It's Tuesday, June 25th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Muslims killing Christians in Russia and Nigeria Islam-related deaths have dominated the news over the weekend. Suspected Jihadists attacked Russian Orthodox Churches and synagogues in two cities in Southern Russia, 75 miles apart from one another, killing at least twenty, reports ABC News. In addition, last week, Fulani Muslims stormed a village in Kajuru County, Nigeria with AK-47s. As they shouted “Allahu Akbar” or “Allah is Greater,” they shot up a group of Christians who were conducting a prayer meeting for the community, killing five, reports International Christian Concern. 1,300 Muslims died during pilgrimage to Mecca And, just within the last week, over 1,300 Muslims have died of excessive heat on their pilgrimage to Mecca where temperatures have soared as high as 120 degrees Fahrenheit (50 degrees Celsius), according to the Associated Press. One of the five pillars of Islam is the Hajj, a once-in-a-lifetime pilgrimage to Mecca. They hope it will help with forgiveness of their sins. But Ephesians 1:7 tells us that in Jesus “we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace.” Argentina's food inflation drops from 211% to 0.1% Argentina reports the first week without food inflation in thirty years, and only 0.1% in fifteen days. That's not bad for a nation that was looking at 211% inflation or 4% per week back in 2023. Argentina's new conservative president, Javier Milei, is wrapping up a visit to Europe, in which he referred to the government of Spain bringing "poverty and death" to the country. And, he told an audience that he is defeating the socialists with "the largest fiscal adjustment in the history of Argentina." Trump is angry that Biden has targeted pro-lifers Speaking to the Faith and Freedom Coalition's Road to Majority conference at the Washington Hilton over the weekend, presidential hopeful Donald Trump promised he would take care of the pro-life activists facing prison time “on the first day.” Listen to Trump tell the story of Paula Harlo. TRUMP: “In the Republican Party, we will always support families, babies, life. Very important to the Republican Party. “By contrast, Joe Biden is weaponizing the Justice Department to viciously persecute pro-life activists and Americans of faith. Just last month, the Biden DOJ got Paula Harlow, a 75-year-old woman in poor health, sentenced to two years in prison for singing outside of a [abortion] clinic. Fearing she would die in prison, her husband pleaded with the judge for mercy and even asked to be thrown in prison with his wife. The judge responded by mocking their religion. “Paula is one of many peaceful pro-lifers whom Joe Biden has rounded up, sometimes with SWAT teams, and thrown them in jail. Many people are in jail over this. This is just crazy. We're gonna get that taken care of immediately, first day. “But let's call these brave Americans what they really are. It's persecuted Christians. That's what they are. They're persecuted.” Franklin Graham to Trump: Stop cussing During another of his speeches over the weekend, the former president announced having received a letter from evangelist Franklin Graham, encouraging him to avoid foul language in his speeches. Trump said the evangelist is wrong on the matter. Trump justified an occasional use of foul language for emphasis, but then told the audience he has been “working hard on it.” Ephesians 4:29 is for all of us: “Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.” Supreme Court to examine case banning puberty blockers for minors The U.S. Supreme Court agreed Monday to take up a case which challenges a Tennessee law banning artificial medical treatments for minors who want to change their God-given gender, reports CBS News. About half of the states have placed restrictions on such medical procedures. Biden's transgender plan blocked The flags are on the field on this one. Already, two U.S. district judges have blocked the Biden administration's plan to impose Title IX restrictions on public schools in America in an effort to transgender bathrooms and sports programs. So far, 26 states have joined seven lawsuits concerning the policy which is supposed to go into effect on August 1st. The Scriptures do speak to this moral issue. Deuteronomy 22:5 says, “A woman shall not wear anything that pertains to a man, nor shall a man put on a woman's garment, for all who do so are an abomination to the Lord your God.” Will women be drafted? The U.S. Senate has approved a measure that would include women in the military draft, reports The Hill.com. The provision is not contained in the House version of the National Defense Authorization Act before Congress. And a spokesperson for House Speaker Mike Johnson told Fox News Digital that he is opposed to the inclusion of women in the draft. Presently, according to Pew Research, Israel, Eritrea, Mali, Morocco, North Korea, Tunisia, Mozambique, Norway, and Sweden include women in their selective service program. 2,750 pro-life pregnancy centers vs. 1,603 abortion mills Lifeway Research reports that 16% of Protestant churches support crisis pregnancy centers in the United States. Baptist churches are three times more likely to provide financial support for the pro-life centers than Lutheran Churches. According to the data, 2,750 pro-life pregnancy centers provide $358 million of free services to women across the country each year, according to a Charlotte Lozier Institute report issued last December. By contrast, as of 2020, there were 1,603 facilities conducting abortions in America. Sadly, states are now spending over $200 million annually on abortion services, and the federal government is funding domestic abortion businesses to the tune of $390 million per year. That's about the same amount of money donated each year by private charity to pro-life pregnancy centers. 21 Worldview listeners donated $4,140 And finally, toward our $84,000 final goal by 5:00pm central this Saturday, June 29, 21 Worldview listeners stepped up to the plate to help fund our 6-member team for another fiscal year. Our thanks to Kenyon in Merritt Island, Florida, Jamey in Macon, Georgia, Joshua in Bolivar, Missouri, Rob in Annandale, Virginia, and an anonymous donor from Helena, Montana – each of whom gave $25. We appreciate Suzanne in Macon, Georgia, Emily in De Forest, Wisconsin, Dean in Paulden, Arizona, and Charles in Sharps Chapel, Tennessee – each of whom gave $50. We honor the donations of Edna in Marionville, Missouri who gave $75, Brett in Topeka, Kansas who gave $100, an anonymous donor and Grant in Ashland, Kentucky – both of whom gave $200, as well as Mark in Rossville, Georgia who pledged $20/month for 12 months for a total gift of $240. And we are grateful to God for Larry in Union, Kentucky and William in Marshall, Illinois – both of whom gave $250, Calvin in Odessa, Minnesota who gave $300, Max in Macon, Georgia and Lisa in Newport, Washington – both of whom gave $500, as well as Elizabeth in Carol Stream, Illinois and Charles in Waxhaw, North Carolina – both of whom pledged $50/month for 12 months for a gift of $600 each. Those 21 donors gave $4,140. Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please. (sound effect of drum roll) $58,005.16 (audience cheering) In order to hit our $84,000 goal, we still need to raise $25,994.84 by the end of the week. We need to find 12 people to pledge $100 per month for 12 months, 9 people to pledge $50 per month for 12 months, and 18 people to pledge $25/month for 12 months. Will you step up to the plate?

Next Monday is the two-year anniversary of the overturning of Roe v. Wade, but the fight for life is now going on with more intensity than ever. Recently, the Supreme Court issued a 9-0 ruling that protected pro-abortion claims, a bit of a setback for pro-life. But Dr. Ingrid Skop from the Charlotte Lozier Institute, and attorney Katie Daniel, with Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, say that the battle will wage on.

It's Friday, June 14th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus North Korea sent 1,400 helium balloons with manure and trash to South Korea South Korean Christian ministries have sent GPS-guided balloons carrying pages of Scripture and USB devices featuring the Bible into North Korea where owning a Bible can be punishable by execution. In retaliation for what it calls “anti-North Korean propaganda,” North Korea, led by the dictator Kim Jong Un, sent more than 1,400 helium balloons filled with trash and manure into South Korea, reports International Christian Concern. The South Korean military has intercepted many of the balloons. In response to the helium balloon-delivered manure and trash, South Korean officials resumed loudspeaker broadcasts at specific border areas. Subsequently, Kim Yo Jong, the sister of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, warned South Korea that these loudspeaker broadcasts, leaflets, and USB devices could soon provoke a “crisis of confrontation” between the two nations. She added that the manure and trash balloons were “sincere presents” sent to the “goblins of liberal democracy who are crying for the guarantee of freedom of expression.” Join me and specifically pray Ezekial 36:26 for Kim Jong Un and his sister, Kim Yo Jong, who are spiritually lost. The verse describes how God “will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.” According to Open Doors, North Korea is the world's most dangerous country in which to be a Christian. Trans World Radio, which broadcasts into North Korea from South Korea, received an email from a North Korean listener who said, “Without your programs, love and dedication, we would not have access to the Gospel of our Father in Heaven and we would be lost." Supreme Court allows Abortion Kill Pill to be sent through mail Yesterday, the Supreme Court made a terrible decision. It ruled against pro-life doctors and others who challenged the Food and Drug Administration's decision to loosen restrictions on the distribution of the Abortion Kill Pill, reports LifeSiteNews.com. In the unanimous decision in the case titled FDA v. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine, Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote, “The plaintiffs lack standing to sue to stop the law. Specifically, the FDA's regulations apply to doctors prescribing mifepristone and to pregnant women taking mifepristone. But the plaintiff doctors and medical associations do not prescribe or use mifepristone.” The Food and Drug Administration decided to make chemical abortion as widely available as possible as part of the Biden-Harris pro-abortion agenda. Dr. Ingrid Skop, the Medical Director of the pro-life Charlotte Lozier Institute, previously said, “The FDA's decision to weaken commonsense safeguards, removing doctors from the process, shows they prioritize ending unborn life over the health and safety of women.” In addition to directly ending an innocent human life, abortion drugs are also dangerous for women. Side effects and complications that accompany chemical abortions are: pain, possibly severe heavy and/or prolonged bleeding for multiple weeks fever infection incomplete abortion (requiring surgical follow-up) nausea and vomiting diarrhea feeling dizzy or having a headache short to lasting hot flashes hemorrhage blood clots undetected ectopic pregnancy, which is life-threatening and permanent infertility for an Rh-negative mother. God sent two rescuers to save father and 2 boys in Colorado River A week ago Thursday, when the inflatable kayak a father and his two young sons were using in the Colorado River flipped over in a rapid, the family became scattered in raging waters, reported KSL-TV. Providentially, Eric Odenthal saw the terrifying crisis unfold. ODENTHAL: “I just seen the kids floating downstream, struggling.” Indeed, according to the Grand County Sheriff's Search and Rescue, “The 10-year-old was reportedly wearing a belt-pack [personal flotation device] or PFD that inflated with a C02 cartridge. It flipped the boy over so he was face down in the water. And the 8-year-old was wearing a [life preserver] that was too big and failed to keep his head above water.” Odenthal called out to his friend, Gaar Lausman, who jumped on his paddleboard. ODENTHAL: “You need to go right now. This is really important. Get those kids out of the water.” But, while the kids were scooped up, the dad, who had not been wearing a life jacket at all, was further away and barely able to keep above water, reports FaithWire.com. ODENTHAL: “He's getting pulled by eddies. His face is barely above water.” Just when it seemed all hope was lost, as the father sunk down below the water's surface, God sent along a second Good Samaritan. A man named Daniel Wright suddenly emerged on a jet ski. ODENTHAL: “It was literally a miracle this guy showed up.” According to the Grand County Sheriff's Search and Rescue, Wright initially passed by the father because he didn't see him. WRIGHT: “Initially, I thought it was just kind of debris in the water.” It wasn't until the man on the paddleboard got his attention that he turned around and found him. For his part, Wright scrambled to reach the father, who, at that point was reaching his hand up out of the water in a final attempt at being rescued. WRIGHT: “He realized that was it. That was what he had left was reaching out to me. I had to help him. I had to get him.” Once he got him safely to shore, Wright described what happened next. WRIGHT: “I gave him a hug and I embraced him, you know, when I got him out of the water because it was an emotional moment.” Grand County Sheriff's Search and Rescue concluded its post by encouraging people to wear “properly-fitted, and properly-worn” safety gear. As for Wright, he credited the Lord for his ability to be present and help out. WRIGHT: “I'm just really thankful and I really just think God just had me right there at the right time.” No doubt, he echoes the sentiment of Psalm 9:1. “I will give thanks to You, LORD, with all my heart. I will tell of all Your wonderful deeds.” Virginia Worldview listener shares why he gave $500 Last night, I called Danny in Abingdon, Virginia, a Worldview listener who donated $500 to help keep this newscast on the air. He explained what he appreciates. DANNY: “I just like that you all provide an option for news that is filtered through a Biblical lens so that you're reporting news and how it relates to believers in Christ, and how the Bible would speak to the news of the day. I think y'all might be the only option, that I know of, that provides that for believers. And I appreciate that and I want to support that and hope that that continues.” Danny especially likes the fact that we cite two relevant Bible verses connected to two of our weekday stories. DANNY: “When I see that Bible verses are referenced in some of the stories, it just helps me be mindful of the Biblical worldview is the truth, and that we need to constantly be bringing the stories and news reports back to the truth which is in the Holy Scriptures.” He challenged other listeners to join him and make an online donation through our website TheWorldview.com. DANNY: “I would just challenge those that value The Worldview in 5 Minutes, who support this because I think this is one of the only options that Christians have to get news from a Biblical worldview. We need to support that because it's important and there's not many other options, if any at all out there. Very valuable for believers to have that option.” 11 Worldview listeners gave $1,807 Toward our $57,100 mid-point goal by 5:00pm Central on Saturday, June 15th to fund the 6-member Worldview team for another year, 11 Worldview listeners made a donation yesterday online. Our thanks to Jay in Lees Summit, Missouri, Hannah in Leo, Indiana, Rachel in Washougal, Washington, and Christopher in Deposit, New York – each of whom gave $25. We appreciate Faith in Coeur D Alene, Idaho, Jane in Shrewsbury, Pennsylvania, and Jon in Newton, New Jersey – each of whom gave $50. And we thank God for the generosity of Michael in Sexsmith, Alberta, Canada who gave $150, Marcia in Franklin, Tennessee who pledged $25 per month for 12 months for a gift of $300, Katie in Hutchinson, Kansas who gave $507, and Barbara in Mesa, Arizona who pledged $50 per month for 12 months for a gift of $600. Those 11 donors gave $1,807. Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please. (sound effect of drum roll) $28,635 (audience cheering) By 5:00pm Central on Saturday night, June 15th, we need to raise $28,465 in order to hit our mid-point goal. In an audience this size -- with tens of thousands who listen through the 125 radio stations which now carry us as well as through our website and the Generations app, I'm confident that 20 Worldview listeners could each pledge $100 per month for 12 months for a gift of $1,200. Those 20 pledges would add up to $24,000. The remaining $4,465 could be raised through smaller one-time gifts or smaller monthly pledges.

Trending with Timmerie - Catholic Principals applied to today's experiences.
Ever heard that abortion is necessary to save a woman's life? Think again! In a recent episode of Trending with Timmerie, Dr. Ingrid Skop, an obstetrician and the Vice President of Medical Affairs for the Charlotte Lozier Institute, joins Timmerie to tackle one of the most persistent pro-abortion myths: the idea that abortion is necessary to save the life of a mother. Dr. Skop, who has delivered over 5,000 babies, asserts that abortion is never medically necessary to save a mother's life. Instead, the focus should be on early delivery if complications arise, ensuring both mother and child receive the care they need. Key Points from the Podcast: Medical Misinformation & Misleading Practices: Since the 1960s and 70s, Timmerie explains that the medical community has often misinformed women about their fertility and health, pushing birth control and abortion as solutions to underlying health issues. Abortion & Emergency Medical Treatment: Dr. Skop clarifies that in emergency situations, the appropriate medical response is to stabilize the mother and deliver the baby, not perform an abortion. EMTALA (Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act of 1986) requires hospitals to provide emergency care, which includes evaluating and stabilizing both the mother and unborn child. Supreme Court & Legal Battles: The Biden administration's attempts to use EMTALA to promote abortion conflicts with state laws. However, Dr. Skop is optimistic that the Supreme Court will uphold the states' rights to protect both mother and child in emergencies. Misleading Pro-Abortion Arguments: Pro-abortion advocates often use the argument of "life of the mother" to justify abortion, despite it not being necessary. Most medical emergencies occur later in pregnancy when early delivery is viable. Pro-Life Laws & Women's Health: Quality medical practice involves early delivery, not abortion. Abortion, especially later in pregnancy, is riskier for women and often coerced by external pressures. The Charlotte Lozier Institute provides scientific, peer-reviewed data debunking pro-abortion claims and supporting pro-life laws. Global Perspective: The U.S. is one of only eight countries that allows elective abortions throughout the entire pregnancy, a practice that is both inhumane and unnecessary. This is a heartbreaking reality that our nation needs to correct, and we need to turn back to the Lord. Dr. Skop emphasizes that abortion till birth is a tragic reality in the U.S., often justified under vague definitions of health that include social and financial reasons. This misrepresentation leads to coercive practices that harm women and their babies. These women truly want to keep their children. Can you only imagine the pain and pressure they feel? We need to show them compassion and better choices, and walk with them through this hurt. Pro-Life, Pro-Woman: "Pro-life is pro-woman." Pro-life laws protect women and children. The reality is, women facing crises during pregnancy need comprehensive care, not abortion. Educate yourself and others using resources from the Charlotte Lozier Institute, where science and compassion meet to support life at all stages. Here's one of Dr. Skop's publications.

It's Wednesday, May 29th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Kazakhstan officials raid Protestant churches Officials in Kazakhstan raided several Protestant churches in recent months. Police fined pastors and congregants for not being registered with the government. Pastors also faced charges of illegal missionary activity. Last year, individuals and organizations in the Central Asian country faced over 200 cases of such prosecutions for exercising their freedom of religion. The local Baptist Council of Churches said, “What has been happening in the last month . . . has aroused serious concern among Evangelical communities, which have experienced persecution for their religious activity.” According to Open Doors, Kazakhstan is the 47th most difficult country worldwide in which to be a Christian. Finnish Christian politician harassed by hostile court system A Christian politician is preparing to stand trial for the third time over her Biblical beliefs. As The Worldview reported on April 22nd, Päivi Räsänen is a former government minister and sitting Finnish parliamentarian. She recently submitted her defense to the Finnish Supreme Court. Lower courts acquitted her of “hate speech” after she posted Bible verses online in opposition to sexually perverted lifestyles. However, the State prosecutor appealed the case to the country's Supreme Court. Räsänen said, “An acquittal by the Supreme Court would … provide a clearer and stronger safeguard for the freedom of Christians to present the teachings of the Bible–and it would strengthen the principle of freedom of expression in general.” More hurricanes on the way The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is predicting more hurricanes this year than normal. The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season lasts from June 1 to November 30. The group predicts an 85% chance of an above-normal season. The forecast includes 8 to 13 hurricanes. Four to seven of those are expected to be major hurricanes. Job said in Job 26:12 and 14, “[God] stirs up the sea with His power, and by His understanding He breaks up the storm. … Indeed, these are the mere edges of His ways … the thunder of His power who can understand?” Political gender gap A new poll by the Institute of Politics at Harvard Kennedy School highlights the growing gender gap among young people. President Joe Biden leads former President Donald Trump by eight percentage points among Americans under 30. Among young women, Biden leads by 33 points. But among young men, Biden only leads by six points, down from 26 points in 2020. In 2020, 42% of young men identified as Democrat and 20% as Republican. Now, 32% identify as Democrat and 29% as Republican. Transgender surgeries lead to suicide attempts Last month, researchers published a study in the medical science journal called Cureus, entitled “Risk of Suicide and Self-Harm Following Gender-Affirmation Surgery.” The study evaluated 90 million adults in the U.S. It found that people who get sex-mutilating surgeries are more likely to attempt suicide. The study noted, “Individuals who underwent gender-affirming surgery had a 12-fold higher suicide attempt risk than those who did not.” Pro-life pregnancy centers provided $360 million of services in 2022 This month, the Charlotte Lozier Institute, a pro-life research group, released a report on the impact of pro-life centers in 2022. The U.S. had 2,750 pregnancy resource centers at the time. Overall, they provided over $360 million in pro-life services and goods to individuals and families. That's over $100 million than the services and goods provided in 2019. Demand for pro-life services has increased since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022. Despite this, pro-abortion attorneys general and lawmakers are targeting pro-life pregnancy centers. Environmental activists vs. Christian New Jersey community For generations, Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association, a Christian group in Ocean Grove, New Jersey, has closed its private beach on Sunday to honor the fourth commandment. Recently, the state's Department of Environmental Protection has been threatening the Christian camp group with fines of $25,000 for every Sunday that they remain closed because the group is allegedly violating beach access laws. As a result of the pressure, the Christian group has relented and opened their private beach on the Lord's Day. Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association said it would challenge the order in court to “preserve our property rights and religious freedom.” Young adults embrace lying, abortion, and sexual perversion And finally, Dr. George Barna released his latest research on Biblical worldview in America. The study noted that younger generations are leading a big shift in our country's morals. Less than half of adults under 40 say the Bible is their guide to morality. Most adults under 40 reject absolute moral truth and embrace lying, abortion, and sexually perverted lifestyles. Dr. Barna said, “By abandoning the absolute boundaries given to us in the Bible, we have opted for unpredictable and conflicting standards that serve us poorly. You always reap what you sow. America is now harvesting the sad product of what it has been cultivating for the last 40-plus years.” Isaiah 55:6-7 says, “Seek the LORD while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the LORD, and He will have mercy on him.” Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Wednesday, May 29th, in the year of our Lord 2024.

Mary Danielsen talks with Dr. Ingrid Skop Vice President and Director of Medical Affairs for Charlotte Lozier Institute, leveraging more than 30 years' experience as a practicing obstetrician-gynecologist to support research and policies that respect the dignity of every human life. Dr. Skop believes the Abortion Kill Pill is deadly for the unborn baby and dangerous for mothers who take it, leading to 4 times the complications as surgical abortions. In 2020, when 500,000 aborted chemically, 25,000 of them went to the emergency room or required surgical follow-up. 63% of mothers who abort these days, do so chemically. She has had to operate on women who had not expelled their dead baby after taking the Abortion Kill Pill prescribed by another OB/GYN. We will discuss some shocking admissions from the US Supreme Court abortion pill oral arguments. Shameless plug for swag for our listeners/donors! https://www.redpillprints.com/stand-up-for-the-truth - Thanks for YOUR Support!
Our play, OCTOBER 7, is just over two weeks away. It's never been more important to tell the truth about what happened to Israel, which is why we're giving you an exclusive look into the newest trailer. On today's episode, we're talking about Iran's recent attack against Israel and why this would never have happened under Donald Trump. Let's just say, the Biden administration is responsible for a lot of disinformation. Are they lying? Or are they just dupes of Hamas terrorists and the pro-abortion lobby? Two experts join us to talk about how Biden has gotten it so wrong on these very important issues. Our first guest is Dr. Abraham Wyner, he's the incredible statistician who debunked the hockey stick graph. Today, he debunks Hamas' reported casualty numbers, which make absolutely no sense and seem to be massively over-reported. Then, Dr. Ingrid Skop of the Charlotte Lozier Institute joins us to talk about an insidious abortion ad that Biden's reelection campaign put out. This is an episode you won't want to miss. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ap-scoop/message
The Christian Outlook - April 13, 2024 John Solomon and Amanda Head turned to Marjorie Dannenfelser of Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America about a pro-abortion statement made by former President Trump earlier this week. Georgene Rice turns to Dr. Ingred Skop, Vice President and director of Medical Affairs with the Charlotte Lozier Institute, to talk about the abortion case before the Supreme Court, yet again. This time it's an FDA case on the approval to distribute the abortion pill by mail. Owen Strachan invites University of Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines, to talk about her run-in with trans swimmer Lia Thomas, and how nobody in the sports community spoke up for her or other women, so refusing to be silent, she stepped up. Albert Mohler discusses a movement towards sanity in collegiate sports, specifically the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics banning men from competing in women's sports. Bob Burney reads from a Mayo Clinic study, not yet peer-reviewed, which suggests cross-sex hormone therapy does irreversible damage to human bodies.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Pro-lifers—especially those who pray in front of abortion facilities—have long known that women are rarely eager to exercise their “right to choose.” Most women who get abortions do so as a result of panic, fear, pressure, and even coercion. But don't take our word for it. A new peer-reviewed study from the Charlotte Lozier Institute shows that more than two thirds of women who've had abortions didn't want to.
The pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute recently released abortion estimates for the first six months of 2023. Using these numbers, media outlets quickly announced that pro-life laws after the demise of Roe have been ineffective. Ironically, abortion proponents lament restricted access to abortion while claiming pro-life laws don't work. However, according to Dr. Michael J. New of the Charlotte Lozier Institute, these numbers “reflect a great deal of potential variance.” "[T]hese new abortion estimates are based on samples of abortion facilities, not comprehensive surveys. ... For Georgia, their upper abortion estimate is over 80 percent higher than their low estimate. For Florida, their upper estimate is more than 11,000 abortions higher than their low estimate. This much variation raises serious questions about the accuracy of their estimates." According to Dr. New, “plenty of reliable data collected since the Dobbs decision show that thousands of lives have been saved by strong state-level pro-life laws.” So, as always, we should stay the course and not be discouraged by the latest alarm-seeking headline.
