1. CAROLINA JOURNAL: End the free pass for
schools, libraries on exposing children to graphic content
"North Carolina’s child obscenity laws make it illegal to
disseminate obscene materials to minors. However, the law shields
schools and libraries, making them exempt from the prohibition on
obscenity. It’s because of these exceptions that activist librarians
have been able to stash graphic pornography with erotic content on
shelves in youth sections."

2. THE DAILY SIGNAL: More Courts Uphold
Bans on ‘Gender-Affirming’ Care for Minors. Is Supreme Court Next
Stop?
"A few short weeks after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th
Circuit upheld Tennessee’s law banning 'gender-affirming' care for
minors in the state, the 11th Circuit followed suit and upheld
Alabama’s law prohibiting the same. In an opinion for the unanimous
three-judge panel written by Judge Barbara Lagoa, the court overturned
a lower court order that had enjoined a portion of Alabama’s
Vulnerable Child Compassion and Protection Act."

3. THE DAILY SIGNAL: City Can’t Ban Farmer
From Market for Views on Same-Sex Marriage, Judge Rules
"Six years after a Michigan city barred a farmer from selling
apples and other fruit at an outdoor market because he doesn’t allow
same-sex weddings on his property, a federal judge has ruled that the
city violated his constitutional right to religious freedom."

4. REUTERS: South Carolina high court will not reconsider abortion
ban decision
"South Carolina's top court on Tuesday declined to reconsider a
recent ruling upholding the state's ban on abortion after a fetal
heartbeat is detected, which opponents say will prevent women from
terminating pregnancies after about six weeks.
The South Carolina Supreme Court on a 4-1 vote rejected a request
by Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers to reconsider its
Aug. 23 ruling, which they said left unanswered what constitutes a
'fetal heartbeat' under the Republican-backed law."

Weekly Prayer: Life
LORD, we recognize that you are Sovereign over all creation. We
recognize you made man from the dust, and in your mercy, you crowned
creation with man and woman made in your image. What a wonder it is
that you would bestow upon us this blessing and responsibility!
LORD, may we not take this blessing for granted. We pray that
this great responsibility and dignity may motivate us to love You, our
neighbors, and our families more. LORD, may we as a culture truly see
and believe that children are a blessing from the LORD—born or unborn;
able or disabled. All children should have an opportunity to
experience the liberty of life. LORD, make us your vehicle to change
our culture into one that cherishes and protects life. Keep at the
forefront of our minds our responsibilities to respect, cherish, and
serve the youngest and oldest in our society.
"At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, 'Who,
then, is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?' He called a little
child to him, and placed the child among them. And he said: 'Truly I
tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will
never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever takes the lowly
position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And
whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me. If anyone
causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it
would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their
neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.'" (Matthew
18:1-6)
Amen
