Water Safety Expertise for the Summer

The end of the school year and the start of the summer means many people will be heading to lakes, rivers, swimming pools and water parks.

Several tragic drownings have happened in our two states already this month, so Family Life News sought out expertise on “best practices” for individuals and families as they head out for swimming, boating and other outdoor recreation

Tim Marshall is the Public Safety Director for Stueben County in New York’s Southern Tier. His water-safety recommendations apply is lots of locations, and for people of every age.

SCOTUS ruling on FDA “Mail-Order Mifepristone” – 6/24/24

SCOTUS ruling on FDA “Mail-Order Mifepristone” – 6/24/24

A Special Family Life Interview

The U.S. Supreme Court, at least temporarily, has allowed continued mail-order distribution of abortion-inducing pills. A group of pro-life physicians had sued to stop the practice, after FDA regulations were revised to eliminate a requirement to meet with a doctor before starting the process to end the pregnancy. The latest FDA rules say even a video visit with a prescriber is no longer needed.

Opponents of widespread use of the two-pill “cocktail” of Mifepristone and Misoprostal quote the FDA’s own statistics that 1 of every 25 women who take these drugs end up in an emergency department with complications. Other physical and emotional-health consequences are likely more numerous.

Attorney Katie Daniel of Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America gave Family Life News her reaction to the SCOTUS decision, predictions on where the case goes next, and why these pills can be so harmful to women, especially with no required followup with a medical professional.

 

For further information:

  • More from Katie Daniel: In-depth polling, conducted by CRC Research for Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, reveals that 75% of Americans believe the FDA should have performed studies focused on girls under the age of 18 before approving these pills for minors.

Faith Under Fire: Alliance Defending Freedom vs. Attorney General Letitia James

Faith Under Fire: Alliance Defending Freedom vs. Attorney General Letitia James

In May, New York’s Attorney General, Letitia James, sued 11 crisis pregnancy resource centers across the state because they offer an “unsafe” abortion pill reversal. More than 60 percent of the time, these clinics have been able to save the life of a baby when the mother has taken a mail-order abortion pill like Mifepristone.

Now, one of the largest Christian law firms in the nation has come beside these clinics with a counter suit in federal court.

Family Life News Anchor Sarah Harnisch talked with Alliance Defending Freedom Legal Counsel Gabriella McIntyre to discuss the case.

Staycation Destinations – National Women’s Hall of Fame – 6/21/24

Staycation Destinations – National Women’s Hall of Fame – 6/21/24

It’s “Staycation Destinations” on Family Life

We begin the Summer 2024 tour of Pennsylvania and New York in the Finger Lakes region, celebrating 300+ people who transformed medicine, culture, sports, politics, the arts and so much more.

Every one of these special people — a woman.

National Women's Hall of Fame

The National Women’s Hall of Fame in Seneca Falls has used a nomination process through which the general public can nominate potential inductees.

The Hall marked its grand reopening in an expanded facility this spring, and debuts new exhibit space in July with interactive exhibits on loan from the Smithsonian. “Voices and Votes: Democracy in America” will be paired with displays of fiber arts from local and regional crafters. A guest presenter is Hinda Mandell of the Rochester Institute of Technology who has explored a unique parallel between textiles and smartphones.

In this exclusive Family Life News podcast, Executive Director and CEO Jennifer Gabriel tells you about the Hall and its history, its mission and its summer schedule.

– – –

The National Women’s Hall of Fame is open Tuesdays through Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.  Details are at www.WomenOfTheHall.org.

 

“Staycation Destinations” is our weekly summer series, broadcast each Friday at noon on the radio and online, then posted to our News Podcasts page. Each offers a radio tour of a unique site in Pennsylvania or New York, fairly close to home, fairly inexpensive, and good for a potential day trip or longer visit by individuals, couples, families, friends or church groups.

 


Some weekends, we also give you a Sidetrip Suggestion -- another place in our two states which stands out in a unique, quirky, or enlivening way.
For this weekend, a completely different angle on what a Hall of Fame can celebrate:



The Bare Knuckles Boxing Hall of Fame celebrates John L. Sullivan. With none of those bulky boxing gloves, and 75 rounds later, Sullivan won the world championship.
It was in barns built in 1889 where Sullivan trained with a very original fitness guru. William Muldoon is celebrated as the "Father of the Modern Medicine Ball". Some of his other fitness innovations are still in use in that industry today.

The Bare Knuckles Boxing Hall of Fame [BKBHOF] is seven miles north of exit 30 on I-86, in the town of Belfast, NY.

Faith Under Fire – NY’s AG v Pregnancy Resource Centers – 6/20/24

“Faith Under Fire” – New York’s Attorney General v Pregnancy Resource Centers – 6/20/24

Pregnancy Care Centers are suing State Attorney General Tish James, to prevent the AG from suing the pro-life centers who want to share medical information about the dangers of two abortion-triggering pills.

Gabriella McIntyre of the Alliance Defending Freedom joins Sarah Harnisch to discuss the issues underlying these current and proposed legal battles, plus what the courts will be asked to consider about Freedom of Speech, government regulations, and the public’s access to appropriate medical information.

 

 

“Faith Under Fire” is our weekly interview feature which listens to the voices at the center of today’s religious battlegrounds. Hear these conversations each Thursday during our Noon Report and 5 O’Clock Report — and anytime from FamilyLife.org, on the Family Life Now app, or by searching “Family Life News” on your favorite podcast feed.
