Virignia Senate passes Equal Rights Amendment, pro-lifers seek to limit its effects

RICHMOND, Virginia, January 16, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – Virginia’s push to revive the long-dormant, so-called “Equal Rights Amendment” took another step forward Tuesday, but pro-life and pro-family activists in the state are taking heart at the advancement of a competing resolution to affirm equality without the ERA’s divisive, pro-abortion legal implications. As LifeSiteNews covered on Monday, Virginia has taken up the cause of ratifying the ERA.

Appeals court rules in favor of Trump’s transgender military ban

WASHINGTON, D.C., January 4, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – The Trump administration should be allowed to implement its ban on individuals suffering from gender dysphoria serving in the military, a three-judge panel of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Friday, though the ruling does not vacate every injunction against the policy.

But it has no power to vacate injunctions imposed by other districts, meaning the administration is still waiting for the U.S. Supreme Court to settle the matter. The policy disqualifies “transgender […]
