Court Watch
FAITH

Hobby Lobby's case will proceed to the Supreme Court, with decision will be expected in June. Hobby Lobby is run by Christian businessman, David Green, who has refused to comply with the Health and Human Services Department's order that all health insurance plans cover four types of abortifaciants, including Ella and Plan B.  Hobby Lobby sued saying that they have a constitutional right not to pay for something that goes against their religious beliefs.

Family

"Nuclear Family: a family group that consists only of father, mother, and children." 
- Webster's Dictionary. 

This week the New York Times released an article changing the definition of the "nuclear family". They claimed that other types of "families" provide kids with the same opportunities and care, something that is disputed by statistics. 

"Social science confirms the importance of marriage for children. According to the best available sociological evidence, children fare best on virtually every examined indicator when reared by their wedded biological parents. Studies that control for other factors, including poverty and even genetics, suggest that children reared in intact homes do best on educational achievement, emotional health, familial and sexual development, and delinquency and incarceration." - Heritage Foundation.

Freedom

Mayors Against Illegal Guns released an error-ridden "fact"-sheet over the Thanksgiving holiday. The NRA quickly responded with their own fact-sheet noting the fiction in MAIG's statements.
