(SRN NEWS) – For a second time this year, Republicans in Congress have blocked legislation to establish a nationwide right to in vitro fertilization.  GOP lawmakers argue that the bill is an election-year stunt by Democrats.  IVF is controversial in pro-life circles because the process involves the generation of multiple embryos, some of which are destroyed.  The Democrats’ measure would have established a nationwide right for patients to access IVF and other assisted reproductive technologies, and a right for doctors and insurance companies to provide it.

Fewer young people are identifying as nonbinary on their applications to college for this fall.  That is according to an analysis of more than one million students who applied through the Common App to over 1,000 schools.  For the most recent admissions cycle, 1.8 percent of students chose a nonbinary gender term to describe themselves, down from 2.2 percent.  Experts say this is a huge change from the past few years, when the number of students indicating that they were nonbinary had skyrocketed.  Other data shows a similar trend.

Georgia’s parliament has approved legislation designed to limit the LGBT agenda; echoing laws adopted in neighboring Russia. The bill includes bans on same-sex marriages, adoptions by gay couples and public endorsement or depictions of LGBT relationships in the media.  It also bans sex-change operations.  Russia has enacted similar bans.  The trend in Eastern Europe is to adopt laws protecting religion and the traditional family while states in Western Europe are moving to embrace the LGBT agenda across the board.

The American Civil Liberties Union is wading into the Michigan state Supreme Court races with a multimillion-dollar commitment to advertising. The liberal group says it will spend two million dollars on several weeks of radio ads ahead of the November election. The spots will largely focus on the candidates’ records on abortion. Democrats believe the Michigan high court could rule on the topic in the future, despite Michigan voters enshrining abortion in the state constitution in 2022. State Supreme Court races are in the spotlight now that Roe versus Wade is gone.
