It's the Governor! Both Lucy and I were surprised at how enjoyable it was to revisit this character. And we had fun trying to imagine whether we'd have been more like Andrea in this situation (intrigued and impressed with the Governor and Woodbury) or like Michonne (suspicious as f#$k). Links:Penitentia trailer (starring Frost actor Glenn Stanton): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dm2LeDJlN3U Jason interviews Dallas Roberts (Milton): https://podcastica.com/podcast/the-cast-of-us/episode/101-this-sorrowful-life-s3e15-dallas-roberts-miltonJoin Lucy, Jason, Karen, Peter, and David for drinks in Glasgow!

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=7267VIETARE LA PAROLA ''MADRE''? E' L'INIZIO DELLA FINEOgni bambino cerca la mamma dal momento della sua nascita: cancellare il concetto stesso di maternità non porterà niente di buonodi Harriet ConnorOggi dappertutto le madri vengono cancellate. In nome dell'inclusione e della diversità: Barnardo's, una onlus inglese che si occupa dei bambini più vulnerabili, ha annullato il suo premio Madre dell'anno.I volontari dell'Australian Breastfeeding Association sono stati indagati per il loro uso della parola "madre" sui social mediaIl Partito Laburista australiano ha rimosso la parola "madre" dai suoi documenti politici (e tanti altri enti pubblici e privati dell'Occidente "progredito e civile" hanno fatto e stanno facendo altrettanto).Il ragionamento è: in alcune famiglie non c'è una madre e alcune madri si identificano come "padri", quindi dovremmo smettere del tutto di usare un linguaggio sessuato per i genitori. Nella famiglia moderna, "madre" e "padre" sono stati sostituiti da genitore 1 e (se sei fortunato) genitore 2.Purtroppo, le madri vengono cancellate non solo dai discorsi, ma anche dalla vita dei bambini. Diversi "vip" hanno comprato bambini attraverso l'utero in affitto, con l'intenzione di allevarli senza una madre. Un bambino, quindi, può avere - e perdere - fino a tre diverse "madri": una madre genetica, una madre naturale e una madre sociale. E dovremmo applaudire.La normalizzazione di famiglie "diverse" può aiutare i bambini di quelle famiglie a sentirsi meno stigmatizzati, ma finora (da secoli) questa "sensibilità" non è stata mai mostrata riguardo i bambini orfani o abbandonati. E rimuovere deliberatamente la madre non può assolutamente essere chiamato progresso . Questa correttezza politica forzata - dire ai bambini che le madri sono opzionali e intercambiabili - è una negazione della realtà biologica e del bisogno umano. Sminuisce il ruolo unico di una madre.Ogni bambino ha una madre: la donna che è stata la sua "casa" per nove mesi, l'ha messo al mondo e (nella maggior parte dei casi) l'ha nutrito con il proprio corpo. Una madre e il suo bambino condividono un legame intimo e insostituibile.I BAMBINI HANNO BISOGNO DI UN GENITORE MASCHIO E FEMMINAAl di là della nascita e dell'allattamento, le madri continuano a relazionarsi con i propri figli in un modo unico. Rispetto ai padri, le madri hanno livelli più alti e più recettori dell'ormone ossitocina, che è responsabile del legame umano. Di conseguenza: «I padri tendono a giocare e le madri tendono a prendersi cura dei bambini... I padri incoraggiano la competizione; le madri incoraggiano l'equità. Uno stile incoraggia l'indipendenza, mentre l'altro incoraggia la sicurezza», scrive Glenn Stanton in Perché i bambini hanno bisogno di un genitore maschio e femmina.Katy Faust e Stacy Manning riassumono la scienza della maternità in questo modo: «La mamma tende a concentrarsi sui sentimenti, a prescindere dai fatti. È predisposta per nutrire e connettersi, un'abilità particolarmente importante quando un bambino dipende completamente da lei per sopravvivere. Le madri stabiliscono il tono emotivo a casa e rispondono intuitivamente ai bisogni fisici ed emotivi della sua famiglia. Nel suo modo unicamente femminile, la mamma incarna "la casa" per i suoi figli». (Loro prima di noi: perché abbiamo bisogno di un movimento globale per i diritti dei bambini, Post Hill Press, 2021 Capitolo 3, Parte 4, Loc 1546)Un uomo non può semplicemente decidere di chiamarsi madre; una donna non può definirsi "genitore" o "padre" senza genere. La parola 'madre' ha un referente biologico nel mondo reale e quindi dobbiamo insistere nell'usarla. Soddisfa i bisogni dei bambini.Quando eliminiamo le madri dal nostro vocabolario e dalla vita dei bambini, inviamo il messaggio che non c'è niente di speciale nelle madri: qualsiasi adulto andrà bene. Ma la realtà è che ogni essere umano ha bisogno e desidera non solo un genitore generico, ma anche la madre che l'ha partorito. I bambini trascorrono nove mesi a prepararsi per incontrare la madre che già conoscono e con cui condividono una relazione. Dopo la nascita, il legame madre-bambino è della massima importanza per il sano sviluppo di un bambino.Tutto ciò è stato ritenuto di buon senso fino a quando le tecnologie riproduttive non hanno iniziato ad aprire nuove possibilità. Ora, il desiderio di un uomo di essere padre può prevalere sul diritto di un figlio ad avere una madre.AVERE FIGLI NON È UN DIRITTOAll'inizio di quest'anno, un uomo nello stato di Victoria ha fatto notizia diventando il primo uomo single a diventare padre attraverso l'utero in affitto. Com'era prevedibile, è stato celebrato come una vittoria per l'uguaglianza. Ma avere figli non è un "diritto" che può essere fatto valere indipendentemente dalla biologia o dall'interesse superiore del bambino. Si afferma spesso che "l'amore fa una famiglia", ma i bambini hanno bisogno di qualcosa di più dell'amore: hanno un profondo bisogno di conoscere e, idealmente, essere cresciuti sia dalla madre che l'ha partorito che dal padre.L'organizzazione di advocacy Them Before Us esiste per dare ai bambini una voce nel dibattito sulla struttura familiare. Hanno raccolto centinaia di storie di persone nate attraverso la fecondazione artificiale e l'utero in affitto. Queste persone sperimentano comunemente uno "smarrimento genealogico", un senso di mercificazione e un trauma per la perdita della madre o del padre biologico.Anche il non sapere a chi appartengono i gameti da cui ha avuto origine la propria vita è un male per le persone.Una donna concepita da un ovulo comprato descrive la sua lotta: «Non riesco a esprimere a parole il dolore di non sapere chi è la mia madre biologica e di non poter avere/aver avuto una relazione con lei. Ci penso davvero almeno una volta al giorno, ed è profondamente preoccupante mentalmente, emotivamente e psicologicamente». (Loro prima di noi , Capitolo 7, Loc 3015)Una giovane donna concepita attraverso l'utero in affitto in America (in Australia è legale solo la gestazione per altri "altruistica": i nostri Lettori sanno bene che di altruistico non c'è nulla. La gestante è illusa e sfruttata, e comunque riceve un congruo rimborso spese) spiega: «Essere amati dai due che ti hanno generato e non dagli estranei che ti hanno comprato, è naturale e bello. Ma mi è stata negata questa struttura familiare per sostenere un commercio e una coppia sterile». (Loro prima di noi , Capitolo 8, Loc 3627)Naturalmente, in un mondo imperfetto, i bambini perdono la madre a causa della morte, del divorzio, dell'abuso o dell'abbandono. Questi bambini meritano tutto l'amore e il sostegno che possiamo dare loro. Applaudiamo ai padri rimasti soli che crescono comunque i loro figli. Applaudiamo alle donne disinteressate che crescono bambini che non hanno partorito: nonne, matrigne, madri adottive.Ma la "famiglia moderna", in cui le madri (o i padri) sono trattati come facoltativi, è una deliberata negazione di ciò di cui i bambini hanno bisogno e che naturalmente desiderano. La mancanza di madre è sempre qualcosa da piangere, non da celebrare."Mamma" è, universalmente, la prima parola che dicono i bambini. È un suono facile da emettere e imita il movimento delle labbra del bambino mentre si nutre. Nel bene e nel male, è ancora la prima parola che i bambini piccoli gridano nel cuore della notte.Ecco perché non possiamo permettere che 'madre' diventi una parola vietata. Simboleggia il legame profondo e insostituibile tra una donna ei suoi figli. Bandire questa parola primordiale causerà una ferita primordiale che richiederà anni o generazioni per guarire.Le madri contano. Il nostro grembo, il seno e gli ormoni ci rendono uniche e indispensabili. Ogni bambino cerca la mamma dal momento della sua nascita. Non siamo genitori 1 o 2. Siamo madri e non sortirà niente di buono dalla nostra cancellazione.

Harry and Meghan's goal in their new Netflix series was “to speak their truth and defend themselves against how they have been represented in the tabloid press.” By contrast, the royal family told CNN that they will not be commenting on the series but will continue with business as usual. Here we have a remarkable case study on cultural engagement that applies far beyond its British context—and particularly in relation to how Christians will respond to the Respect for Marriage Act recently signed into law by President Biden.

This week on BEFORE THE BREAK, the boys sit down with actor, Glenn Stanton. He has had recurring roles on such shows as The 4400, The Walking Dead, The Son, and Chicago Fire. He has also appeared on 9-1-1, Rosewood, and Sirens. We discuss growing up with aspirations of playing professional football, the stress of putting together his college auditions, choosing Chicago as his first market post-college, getting his first rep via mail blast, booking a lot of shows very quickly, making the decision to move to L.A. with big credits under his belt, hitting the ground running in L.A. followed by a 2 year drought, dealing with self doubt, how an acting coach brought back his confidence, and the importance of not making auditions so precious. That and much more!Follow Before The Break - on Instagram at @beforethebreakpodon Twitter at @b4thebreakpodhttps://beforethebreak.buzzsprout.com/Follow Glenn -on Instagram at @glennstantondramaFollow Tommy -on Instagram at @imtommybythewayhttps://www.tommybeardmore.com/Follow Adam -on Instagram at @thatadamdecarlohttp://adamdecarlo.com/Don't forget to subscribe, leave a review, and give us a rating!

Erika Bachiochi, a fellow at the Ethics in Public Policy Center and author of the book Rights of Women: Reclaiming a Lost Vision, is a legal scholar who shares her insightful thoughts on pro-life ethics and femininity. When Erika was in college, she considered herself to be a socialist and feminist. While Erika's views have changed significantly over the years, she still calls herself a feminist, but now she is a pro-life feminist with a Christian worldview. Erika shares with us some of the history of feminism and abortion and how it affects what is going on in our world today.   Erika Bachiochi Show Notes   Ethics in Public Policy Center: https://eppc.org/  Rights of Women: Reclaiming a Lost Vision by Erika Bachiochi: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-rights-of-women-erika-bachiochi/1138489990?ean=9780268200824  Amicus Brief on the Dobbs vs. Jackson: https://eppc.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/24046-Collett-NEW-FINAL.pdf  Including Queer Sexuality Actually Means Excluding Women by Glenn Stanton: https://thefederalist.com/2021/05/11/including-queer-sexuality-actually-means-excluding-women/  Abigail Favale: https://abigailfavale.wixsite.com/home  Books by Mary Wollstonecraft: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/s/mary%20wollstonecraft  Finding Balance in Life video by Erika Bachiochi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoDw6R5mVf8  FC21 – The Dignity of the Sexed Body: Asymmetry, Equality, and Real Reproductive Justice video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIX62lhRYfE  Rights Talk: The Impoverishment of Political Discourse by Mary Ann Glendon: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/rights-talk-mary-ann-glendon/1126665071?ean=9780029118238  Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/aristotles-nicomachean-ethics-aristotle/1116802256?ean=9780226026756  Join Strong Women on Social Media: https://linktr.ee/strongwomencc  Erin and her husband, Brett, run Maven which “exists to help the next generation know truth, pursue goodness, and create beauty, all for the cause of Christ.” Check out more about Maven here: https://maventruth.com/   The Strong Women Podcast is a product of the Colson Center which equips Christians to live out their faith with clarity, confidence, and courage in this cultural moment.

While the common narrative today is that Christianity in America is on the decline, Glenn Stanton cites research in his book, The Myth of the Dying Church, to say genuine Christianity is actually thriving in America.

But Focus on the Family's Glenn Stanton has examined the research. Some churches are indeed on the verge of collapse. Those churches that soft-peddle or even abandon the gospel. Today on the BreakPoint podcast, Warren Cole Smith talks with Glenn about the myth of the dying church. This interview was originally conducted for “Listening In” a program of WORLD magazine.

Glenn Stanton is the director of family formation studies at Focus on the Family and spends a lot of time with those he disagrees with about issues of sexuality, but they are also those he calls “friend.” At the ERLC National Conference, his talk “Loving my LGBT Neighbor,” encouraged us as Christians to befriend, love, and speak truth to all of our neighbors because of the way Jesus did the same for us when we were opposed to him.

Not all divorce rates are created equal. There are numerous factors that can contribute to divorce. An article by Glenn Stanton provides some interesting statistics regarding divorce. Cohabitation: cohabiting couples have a 50-80 percent higher likelihood of divorce than non-cohabiting couples. Age: those who marry after age eighteen have a 24 percent reduced risk of divorce. Age Difference: marriages where there is a significant difference in age have twice the risk of divorce than those in which the couples are close in age. Education: only 27 percent of college graduates will divorce by middle age. Family Background: having parents who have never divorced reduces divorce risk by 14 percent.

Desire for Children: a marriage in which the wife desires children but the husband does not is at a 50 percent greater risk of divorce.
