The Illegal Advertisements of Abortion Giant Marie Stopes Int’l
The government of Kenya, Africa is investigating abortion business Marie Stopes International for allegedly advertising abortion on demand through African radio stations, reports LifeSiteNews.
The case is ongoing despite Kenya’s Film Classification Board officially banning all abortion advertisements.
The investigation follows a CitizensGO Africa petition signed by over 5,000 people, calling on Kenya to stop the Marie Stopes location there from its “cunningly crafted” and “suggestive adverts” to draw in young people for abortions.
Psalm 10:7-8 describes the wicked, “His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and oppression. He sits in the lurking places of the villages; in the secret places he murders the innocent; his eyes are secretly fixed on the helpless.”

Mexican Christians: Let Us Talk About Dangers of Homosexual Sin
Evangelical Christians in Mexico are concerned about pro-homosexual/transgender policies put forward by Morena, the party of the newly elected President of Mexico Andrés Manuel López Obrador, reports Evangelical Focus.
The proposed changes to the penal code would include jail time for anyone who “carries out anti-gay therapies” for minors.

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Falls, Breaks 3 Ribs
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was admitted to the hospital yesterday after falling and breaking three ribs on Wednesday. With multiple health concerns, political observers wonder if the 85-year-old judge may step down while Trump is in office, reports Life News.
The iconic liberal judge has been a vocal supporter of abortion and faux homosexual marriage.
Ginsburg told CNN this year that she hopes to stay on the Supreme Court until the age of 90. In these final years, however, Scripture would recommend humility and repentance.
Isaiah 55:6-7 says, “Seek the LORD while He may be found. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the LORD, and He will have mercy on him.”

75 percent of white born-again or evangelical Christians supported Republicans on Tuesday compared with 80 percent support for Trump back in 2016, but slightly higher than the 74 percent support for Republican nominee John McCain in 2008.
Meanwhile, 70 percent of those religiously unaffiliated supported Democrats this week.
Former Marine Kills 12 in California Bar

The first victim of the attack, Sheriff’s Sergeant Ron Helus, has been hailed a hero after entering the scene as the first responder to save lives.
John 15:13 says, “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.”
