US Conservatives Are On A Roll
Conservatives in the US just can’t stop winning at the moment – age verification for porn sites, parental rights in schools, warning labels on social media, defunding abortionists Planned Parenthood, 3-year anniversary of overturning Roe v Wade, and there’s even significant pushback on the ‘same-sex marriage’ issue. We speak to our US correspondent.

US Conservatives Are On A Roll
Age verification to protect children from pornographic websites; allowing US states to defund abortionists Planned Parenthood; the Supreme Court defends religious freedom, parental rights over ‘LGBT’ curriculum; 10 years since the same-sex marriage case in the US and there are calls to return to the correct definition of marriage; celebrating three years since Roe v Wade’s historic reversal; and even the New York Legislature has passed a bill requiring social media warning labels.
Conservatives in the US just can’t stop winning at the moment, and there’s significant pushback even on the definition of marriage issue. Imagine if same-sex marriage was repealed.

In a decisive victory for people of faith, the United States Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in favor of parental rights and religious freedom over mandated “LGBT” curriculum in public school classrooms. The decision affirms schools can’t force children to participate in LGBT classroom material without offering parents the right to opt out based on sincerely held religious beliefs. The case, Mahmoud v. Taylor, involves a group of Maryland parents from diverse religious backgrounds asking to opt their children out of mandated LGBT curricula at school.

Last week marked the 10th anniversary of the landmark U.S. Supreme Court Obergefell v. Hodges decision that radically redefined marriage and the family by nationalizing the de-sexing of both. There are at least four compelling reasons why Obergefell must be struck down.
From the Daily Citizen:
Exactly three years since Roe’s reversal, the battle for the hearts and minds of Americans regarding the sanctity of life rages on. Abortion remains broadly legal in 31 states. Near total bans exist in 12 states. Gestational limits are on the books in 7 states.
