Florida lawmakers have proposed two bills that would ban most abortions after 15 weeks. “[State] Rep. Erin Grall (R–Indian River & St. Lucie Counties) and state Senator Kelli Stargel (R–Lake & Polk Counties) simultaneously filed bills that will effectively outlaw the vast majority of abortions that take place here in Florida after 15 weeks gestation,” according to an email from the pro-life organization Florida Voice for the Unborn. The bills, House Bill 5 and Senate Bill 146, are “modeled after” the Mississippi 15-week abortion ban currently before the Supreme Court in the case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health.

Fresh off one major political defeat with the failure of the “Build Back Better” spending bill, the Biden administration has pivoted to pushing legislation which would federalize all elections. But the bill appears to be dead on arrival due to resistance within the president’s own party. President Joe Biden is pushing hard for the so-called “Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act,” a sweeping piece of legislation which would give the federal government control of elections in all 50 states. Currently, the Constitution gives individual states the freedom to set their own laws governing the orderly conduct of elections. States have historically used that freedom to craft voting laws best suited to the preferences of their population. For example, California allows anyone to vote absentee without excuse, while Texas only allows absentee voting for a specific set of reasons. States also draw the boundaries for congressional districts, as they have done since the founding, subject to review by state or federal courts. Click the link in our bio for the full story.

After a lawsuit on behalf of parents, the State of California has permanently removed a pagan incantation from a curriculum guide for public school districts. “We reached a settlement with the State of CA, and they will be PERMANENTLY REMOVING … Aztec chants from the Ethnic Studies Model [Curriculum] and paying $100,000 towards our attorneys’ fees,” wrote attorney Paul Jonna, who serves as Special Counsel to the Thomas More Society. “We filed this lawsuit after we discovered that California’s Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum, a resource guide for local school districts, included prayers to Aztec gods – the same deities that were invoked when the Aztecs worshipped with human sacrifices,” Jonna explained.

A bill that would have provided school choice by giving scholarships for underprivileged students to attend private schools failed this week in Nebraska. The effort was noteworthy for the fact that some Democrats broke from their party to support school choice. “The bill would have allowed Nebraskans to receive a full tax credit on any donation they make towards private school scholarships for low-income students who currently cannot get into those schools,” reported Omaha’s KMTV News. A majority of lawmakers wanted to pass the bill, but the Democratic minority filibustered the legislation. A cloture motion on the bill failed Wednesday with 28 “Yea” votes, 14 “Nays,” and seven senators not voting. 33 votes were needed to break the Democratic minority’s filibuster.

Pro-life lawmakers in a growing number of states are calling for laws similar to Texas’ Heartbeat Law. “Bills with language similar or identical to the Texas law have been introduced in Alabama, Florida, Missouri and Ohio so far this year,” noted the liberal publication The Hill. “Most of the measures allow plaintiffs to seek monetary damages against abortion providers or those who ‘aid and abet’ an abortion that takes place more than six weeks after conception. The Ohio version would outlaw virtually all abortions.” Click the link in our bio for more.
