Teen Vogue has published an article about an “abortion comedy tour,” drawing criticism from pro-life supporters.

In a July 18 opinion piece, Solange Azor wrote for the publication about the Lady Parts Justice League, a comedy tour she interned with in 2017.

“Lady Parts Justice League is a grassroots, comedy driven, pro-abortion organization founded by comedian and activist Lizz Winstead in 2015,” Azor said. “They are a group of comedians and performers who use their art to raise awareness about the erosion of reproductive rights.

“Consequently, their style of comedy varies from staging counter protests at fake abortion clinics to posting online memes about harmful legislation in the United States.”

Azor said she was “slightly hesitant” of the group’s mission to use comedy in abortion politics, but she said the “Vagical Mystery Tour” uses “laughter to bring people in, and then takes that opportunity to remind them that every person has the capacity to be an advocate.”

The group shouts back at pro-life supporters who may be protesting at clinics and “make jokes out of the situation.” The group also volunteers with the clinic if needed.

“What makes Lady Parts Justice League critical in the current political moment is their ability to push both anti-abortion and pro-choice advocates to be unapologetically supportive of women that choose to obtain…

As millions of people travel to Lourdes, France, every year in search of divine healing, some evangelical missionaries are warning that at the holy site venerated by Catholics, many are revering the Virgin Mary more than Jesus Christ.

“For followers of Jesus Christ, the atmosphere in Lourdes is dark and discouraging. Christians know that it is ‘the Lord who heals you’ (Exodus 15:26). The determination and expectation of 6 million pilgrims a year feels overwhelming,” Pioneers, a missions agency that is based in Florida but has offices worldwide, said last week. 

One Pioneers member in Lourdes said: “In my town Mary takes Jesus’ place on the cross. People come from far and wide to bring honor to her, to ask her for healing, to pray to her. This is all the locals of this rural town in the mountains know: not Jesus, just millions of Catholic pilgrims from the whole world with their Mary statues, rosaries, and holy water. What should church look like for people who have been completely desensitized to the Gospel?”

As the article explains, every year over 6 million people — Catholics and people of other faiths — visit Lourdes where they believe…

An America’s Got Talent contestant, who attends a Christian college, advanced to the next round, Tuesday, after changing songs mid-performance and getting a verbal scolding from judge Simon Cowell.  

Joseph O’Brien, who studies worship and pastoral studies at Boyce College in Louisville, Ky., walked to the piano and began singing REO Speedwagon’s “Can’t Fight This Feeling” when Cowell raised his hand and told him to stop. O’Brien’s voice wasn’t as strong in the song as in his previous performance.

“You’ve got to stop this song. I’m sorry,” Cowell said.

O’Brien said his “heart was beating” and he “just wasn’t getting in the vibe.”

“I think you’re overthinking everything right now,” Cowell responded. “You have a great voice. I’m just frustrated because I didn’t like that song choice.”

O’Brien then offered: “Would it be OK if I did an original, or would that be a bad idea?”

Surprisingly, the judges allowed a re-do – a rarity on the talent show.

O’Brien crushed his original song, which was faith-based. 

In the show’s final moments, Simon and the other judges allowed O’Brien to advance to the next round – the “live shows” — in Hollywood. Fewer than half of the contestants Tuesday survived.

“You’ve got a lot of work to do, young man,” Cowell told him. “But you…

The next ice age, followed by the end of human civilization, and before that the fulfillment of Jesus Christ’s Great Commission, could be coming sooner than some suspect, Hugh Ross, a Christian astrophysicist and Old Earth creationist, has said in a recent series on his Reasons to Believe website.

In part three of his series, “The End of Civilization As We Know It?” Ross wrote on Monday that humans can only delay, but not prevent the next ice age.

While he did not offer a specific date, Ross analyzed ice age cycles, and said that humans need to realize just how favorable the conditions they live in now are compared to conditions on the planet in the past, and those coming in the future.

Ice age cycles are caused by variations in Earth’s tilt on its axis and the shape of Earth’s orbit around the sun, Ross said, and due to these, the next ice age should’ve started 5,000 years ago. But human activity, such as the additional atmospheric carbon caused by the domestication of cows and deforestation, caused global warming effects that mitigated the cooling effects. 

The additional increase in atmospheric carbon caused by the burning of fossil fuels since the Industrial Revolution has…
