It's Thursday, November 21st, A.D. 2024. 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 Jonathan Clark European Christians faced 2,444 discriminatory incidents in 2024 Observatory on Intolerance Against Christians in Europe released a study this month entitled, “Intolerance and Discrimination Against Christians in Europe Report 2024.” Christians faced 2,444 discriminatory incidents last year across 35 European countries. Those included 232 personal attacks like harassment and physical violence. The number of incidents is up from 1,029 in 2022. France, Germany, and the United Kingdom were hotbeds for discrimination. The report noted, “A number of restrictions on religious freedom affecting Christians in Europe have been identified, concerning public prayer, religious manifestations, public expression of religious beliefs, religious autonomy, parental rights, and conscientious objection to military service and certain medical procedures.” 2 Timothy 3:12-13 says, “Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, while evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.” Poland decriminalized abortion Poland's parliament voted in favor of decriminalizing abortion on November 8. The left-liberal coalition of Prime Minister Donald Tusk supports the bill. He assumed the office last year. Tusk has already pushed for doctors to allow abortions whenever pregnancy is deemed a danger to woman's health, even mental health. Hospitals in Poland are already facing fines for not performing abortions in such cases. Court orders Colorado to pay Christian $1.5 million In the United States, the state of Colorado agreed to a $1.5 million settlement in a religious freedom case. Alliance Defending Freedom helped Lorie Smith in the case. She is a Christian graphic artist and owner of 303 Creative. For nearly seven years, the state tried to force her to promote messages through her work that go against her religious beliefs. Alliance Defending Freedom President Kristen Waggoner said, “The government cannot force Americans to say things they do not believe, and Colorado officials have paid and will continue to pay a high price when they violate this foundational freedom.” Johnson won't let Congressman pretending to be woman in women's restrooms Congressional Republicans are standing against transgenderism. House Speaker Mike Johnson announced a new policy Wednesday, banning men, pretending to be women, from using women's bathrooms. The rule applies to the House section of the Capitol building. Listen to Johnson's comments to reporters. JOHNSON: “A man is a man, and a woman is a woman, and a man cannot become a woman. That's what Scripture teaches. “But I also believe that we treat everybody with dignity. So, we can do and believe all those things at the same time.” The policy comes as Delaware recently elected the first openly transgender member of Congress. The Democrat seat will be held by a man who was born Tim McBride, who served as American University student body president, but now calls himself Sarah McBride. In Mark 10:6, Jesus said, “From the beginning of creation, ‘God made them male and female.'” Texas Board of Education approves lessons on Christianity The Texas State Board of Education voted in favor of Christian curriculum on Tuesday. Board members voted 8-7 in the preliminary decision with an official vote scheduled for Friday. The curriculum in question is called Bluebonnet Learning. It includes lessons on the history of Christianity and sections from the New Testament. Schools would have the option to adopt the curriculum with a financial incentive if they do. Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott said the lessons will “allow our students to better understand the connection of history, art, community, literature, and religion on pivotal events.” Abortion Pill Reversal has saved 6,000 babies And finally, Heartbeat International reports the Abortion Pill Rescue® Network has saved the lives of 6,000 babies as of yesterday. Abortion Pill Reversal allows many mothers to save their pregnancy after starting down the path of a chemical abortion. After taking the first pill, some women regret their choice and want to reverse it. That's where abortion pill reversal comes in. Using the natural hormone progesterone, medical professionals have been able to save 64-68% of pregnancies through abortion pill reversal. Jor-El Godsey, president of Heartbeat International, said, “Each life is precious and filled with promise and potential that, if not for tireless work of the [Abortion Pill Rescue® Network], might not have had that second chance. What a joy to celebrate this milestone of so many lives saved that they would overflow a concert hall!” Job 29:15-17 says, “I was eyes to the blind and feet to the lame. I was a father to the needy, and I searched out the cause of him whom I did not know. I broke the fangs of the unrighteous and made him drop his prey from his teeth.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, November 21st, in the year of our Lord 2024.

On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: In a speech at the White House today, President Joe Biden once again harshly criticized the Supreme Court's decision, two weeks ago, that ended Roe v. Wade and signed an executive order aimed at ensuring abortion access. And with the midterm elections just over 100 days away, the push is on by both Republicans and Democrats to win seats in Congress. Democrats have ramped up their efforts to make abortion rights front and center, with a multi-million dollar ad campaign. And churches are not the only buildings facing threats these days. Pro-life pregnancy centers also are under attack across the US. President of Heartbeat International, Jor-El Godsey, joins to share his thoughts on President Biden's executive order to help ensure access to abortions and how that might impact the work he does. Nearly 3 dozen faith-based institutions say they are divesting from fossil fuel companies. Theologian and professor at the Saint Elizabeth University in New Jersey, Erin Lothes, joins to tell us more about this decision. Finally this evening, a report from NBC News indicates that every branch of the military is struggling to meet their 2022 recruitment goals. Retired Army Lieutenant General and director of the Heritage Foundation's Center for National Defense, Tom Spoehr, joins to talk more about what he thinks is contributing to this recruiting crisis.
