 | September 9, 2022 Friends, The so-called “Respect for Marriage Act," which deconstructs the religious, cultural, and historical meaning of marriage, codifies "same-sex marriage" as the law of the land has been attached (by Democrats) to the next bill to fund the federal government. The political maneuver is designed to shore up progressive support and if unsuccessful, to blame principled senators who refuse to violate their conscience, for “shutting down the government!” America is under attack. The extremes to which the hard-left are willing to undertake in order to maintain power are unprecedented in modern government. Even as pro-family and pro-life forces celebrate significant advances, and Abortion, Incorporated is evicted from Louisiana, we need to contact Senators Cassidy & Kennedy and ask them to reject this Democrat ploy. DETAILS HOW HERE: Will you take a moment right now to contact your senators? | | |  | Education is a top priority to millions of American families, and parents should be empowered to choose a safe and effective education for their children. To serve that goal, The Heritage Foundation has published the Education Freedom Report Card to serve as a guide for assessing education freedom in each state. Heritage’s report card measured four broad categories (School Choice, Transparency, Regulatory Freedom, and Spending) which encompass more than two dozen discrete factors. In this inaugural 2022 edition of the Education Freedom Report Card, Louisiana scores in the Top 10...see details here! | | |  | Planned Parenthood used to make a large majority of their money from abortion services, but with the major losses they’ve taken on that front, they needed to find a new business model to keep their doors open, and they know their audience. Planned Parenthood is now offering “gender-affirming care,” described as “the umbrella term for addressing gender dysphoria, especially in children and young teens, through surgery, puberty blockers, and cross-sex hormones.” We know Planned Parenthood’s nefarious history, and their record of facilitating abuse is troubling. They are the last organization that should be trusted with the mental health of the youth of this country. | | | Friends, God bless the queen...Rest in Peace! | | |  Gene Mills President Louisiana Family Forum | | P.S. Friends, it's been a challenging week. Following LSU’s blocked extra point against Florida State Sunday night, I began experiencing extreme duress. I blamed Coach Brian Kelly and that evening's brussels sprouts. But by Monday morning, the real culprit was identified and confirmed…acute appendicitis. Thankfully, I’m resting and recovering post surgery, under the watchful eye of St. Blanche. If I missed your call, email or appointment this week…please forgive me, I would much rather have been able to attend to your needs and my scheduled events. God willing, I'll be back next week! | | | | You're receiving this email because of your interaction with Louisiana Family Forum and/or Louisiana Family Forum Action.
