An Answer You Won’t Believe

What state’s constitution provides the most liberal abortion rights in America: California? Massachusetts? The answer will surprise you.

Is Following the State Constitution a Bad Policy?

As a former legislator, I know that it is sometimes hard to know what the best policy is and how to balance competing policy values. But it is always a good policy for the legislature to follow the plain, common sense language of the state’s Constitution, and it is always bad policy to disregard it. When our fundamental, supreme governing law ceases to be just that, then we are in trouble.

Ministers’ Day on the Hill

As the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., once said, “The church must be reminded that it is … the conscience of the state.” With this end in mind, FACT has designed its Ministers’ Day on the Hill to encourage ministers and their congregations to stay abreast of family policy issues and to use their influence positively through participation and prayer. Send your minister to this event.

Blessings,
