On Tuesday, the Arizona Supreme Court put back in place a 160-year-old ban on abortion, The Wall Street Journal reported. "Abortion in the state has been allowed through 15 weeks of pregnancy under a law that the GOP-controlled Arizona Legislature passed in 2022, shortly before the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Abortion opponents and some Republican lawmakers argued that the recent law didn't override one dating back to 1864 - before Arizona was a state - that banned abortion throughout pregnancy except in lifesaving situations."

President Joe Biden's rapidly shifting Israel policy is taking criticism from foreign policy experts who believe the administration is fundamentally or deliberately misunderstanding the true nature of the situation. "The Biden administration either is not connecting the dots or frankly, they don't care, which is actually more troubling," suggested Family Research Council President Tony Perkins.

For the third time in less than two years, President Joe Biden announced yet another plan on Monday to cancel student loan debt for millions of Americans. Experts and lawmakers say the move is a "craven attempt to buy votes" and unfairly transfers wealth from one group of people to another.

Israel removed all but one brigade from the Gaza Strip on Sunday, following months of constant fighting. Israel's "troops are resting for future missions, and the war is far from over," Family Research Council President Tony Perkins summarized. "A major military operation appears to be in the making that could bring about finality - of the crushing, if you will, of Hamas."

The Western world is today mired in fads, trends, and the fatal intellectual conclusions of democracy. "Consensus" reigns supreme, moral doctrines are predicated upon polls, and political power has become, to a great extent, an end in and of itself. Such a world places moral arbitration and even definition in the hands of mortal men. What a blessing it is, then, to have an eternal God, for only an eternal God can promulgate an eternal moral code.

More than 30 million Americans live in the path of a total eclipse that occurred on Monday, and many more saw a partial eclipse. Some Americans were so excited about the eclipse that they changed their schedule or even travelled to view it - even though it lasted for a few minutes at most. There is a more significant and longer lasting implication, however: Monday's eclipse proves the darkness at Jesus's crucifixion was miraculous. This may seem like a strange thing to say. Monday's eclipse happened nearly 2,000 years after Jesus's crucifixion. How can it be related?

It used to take the Olympics or a World Cup to get people interested in women's sports - a blip on an otherwise male-driven business model. But that's all out the window this March Madness, as the girls experience an unprecedent boom from the once-in-a-generation talents like Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, and JuJu Watkins. After years of taking a backseat, the NCAA women are front and center, shining on an unusually bright stage. It will go down in history, many believe, as a milestone moment for women's sports. What a shame, then, that radical Democrats are out to destroy it.

On Thursday, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) issued a new rule, to be added to the Federal Register on April 9 and to go into effect next month, that would shield executive branch federal government employees from being terminated for opposing a president's policies or agenda. The OPM's as-yet-unpublished rule change stipulates that certain policy-making federal employees are protected from most forms of employment termination, regardless of who is president.

In early February, tragic news headlines surfaced of the death of Nex Benedict, a 16-year-old girl who identified as nonbinary. The left-wing media characterized her as a victim of bullying over her self-proclaimed identity. Benedict was involved in a physical altercation at school on February 7, and on February 8, her passing was announced. A "transphobic slaying" is how some characterized the events. Since then, more details have emerged that cast doubt on this framing.

It was the finale to an epic, lightning-in-a-bottle run. With 18,000 people on their feet, the lady Gamecocks raised their arms in the air - their undefeated season complete. To the 14.2 million Americans watching Iowa's Caitlin Clark dish and shoot her way into the record books Sunday, women's basketball was a revelation. This last match-up, an electric end to the frenzy over girls' hoops, was the start of something big. An explosion in the women's game that could change the trajectory of female athletes forever. Only one thing could ruin this moment. And thanks to winning Coach Dawn Staley, it did.

The vast majority of children who experience gender dysphoria will embrace their biological sex by adulthood, according to a sweeping national study that monitored children for 15 years. Roughly two out of every three children who identify as transgender will embrace their birth sex by their mid-20s, the study found. People most likely to continue to identify as transgender have low self-esteem and other mental health challenges, researchers found.
