Abortion is on the Ballot this Election Year

A Family Life Newsmaker Interview

“The abortion industry has been very successful at using fear-mongering as a way to drive voters.” — Nicole Hunt

 

Two weeks from Tuesday, Americans will go to the polls to decide the 47th President of the United States.  Also that day, they will decide constitutional amendments that dramatically expand abortion access in 10 states.

In today’s feature report, Family Life News interviews Nicole Hunt, a policy analyst at “Focus on the Family” on why the abortion industry has been winning at the ballot box — and what pro-lifers can do to reverse the trend.

 

Attorney Nicole Hunt is a policy analyst for Focus on the Family. She joined Family Life’s Bob Price for an extended interview on the October 21 Noon Report.

Financial cyber-fraud is a twelve-billion dollar business each year — all of it illegal.

Consumer advocacy banking specialist Blythe Figurelle is among the experts promoting Cyber Security Awareness month during October. Whether its by phone or an electronic message, the fraudsters try to catch you with what she calls “emotional manipulation”.

Figurelle says it is common for scammers to initiate contact out of the blue, pretend to be a business or person you trust, or add unreasonable urgency.

Her advice:

    • If it’s a phone call, don’t say anything and hang up.
    • If it’s on social media, a text or an email — delete that message, without clicking any links.
    • You may wish to also block that sender or that phone number

 

On this Family Life News podcast, Figurelle describes the acronym STOP as the four steps you should do, if you suspect a call or a message is not legitimate, or someone pushes you for your account number or other private information:

Stay cautious

Take your time … don’t be rushed into anything

Only trust verified sources

Protect your codes and numbers and passwords … every time

Children’s Hospitals & “Gender Care”

A Family Life Newsmaker Interview

A national health-care watchdog group is out with new statistics on the number of so-called “gender transition” procedures being done at children’s hospitals. Do No Harm analyzed public insurance records to compile the number of children and teens who were treated using hormones, puberty blockers, and surgical procedures on sexual body parts. The organization also analyzed the amount of money paid by insurance companies to cover those costs. (Public funds such as Medicaid and state and federal government grants are also used for such purposes.)

Beth Serio of Do No Harm told us nearly 2,000 underage minors in New York and Pennsylvania were recipients of such procedures in the most recent reporting period. She talks about the exponential growth in this trend, the financial and philosophical motivations for medical providers and hospitals to recommend “gender affirming care”, and the complications which can result for patients and for the society.

Three PA/NY hospital systems are listed in their national Top Ten List for millions of dollars raked in to perform sex change treatments for minors: Mount Sinai, New York University, and Penn Medicine. Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, with 122 such patients, by far tops the list of providers described as what DNH describes as the “Dirty Dozen” in the United States.
