Former President Trump's Stance on Abortion
Former President Trump officially stated that he believes abortion should be decided by individual states, not federally regulated. Although he hinted at possibly supporting a federal ban with exceptions in the past, Trump's recent statement emphasizes state-level decision-making. This stance could significantly impact the political landscape for the 2024 election, potentially altering GOP consensus on abortion issues.
The Vatican's Position on Gender Theory
The Vatican released a document reaffirming its opposition to gender theory and sex change procedures. Emphasizing the uniqueness of human dignity, the document criticizes gender ideology for denying sexual differences and threatening families. The Vatican explicitly condemns medical sex change interventions, stating that they risk undermining human dignity received at conception.
