Planned Parenthood launched the first summer – Monday in its $45 million campaign to elect Joe Biden as president, telling voters he would guarantee legalized abortion and “codify Roe v. Wade.”

The two-minute digital ad will run across nine battleground states, according to Axios: Pennsylvania, Michigan, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Colorado, Arizona, Florida, Wisconsin and Minnesota.

“What do you want to see from your leaders?” a female narrator asks at the beginning of the ad, which criticizes Trump on health care and his responses to the pandemic and the racial injustice protests.

“I would veto any legislation that weakens pro-life policies,” the ad shows Trump saying.

The ad then transitions to what Biden would do.

“Imagine a leader who builds us up – not tears us down … who seeks thoughtful solutions to complex problems,” the narrator says.

Biden is seen saying, “Pregnancy can’t be a pre-existing condition. I would codify Roe v Wade.” Viewers see media headlines of Biden supporting Roe and opposing the Hyde Amendment, which prevents taxpayer funding of abortion.

The ad also includes Biden’s comments on health care and racial injustice protests.

“Joe Biden is the leader we need,” the narrator says. “Don’t just imagine this world. You have a voice, a vote, and the power to decide your own future. This November, we decide the…

In an interview on Monday with The Daily Show’s host Trevor Noah, Hillary Clinton claimed that if President Trump fails to be re-elected in November, it is possible he will not leave the White House quietly.

“Well, I think it is a fair point to raise as to whether or not, if he (President Trump) loses, he’s going to go quietly or not. And we have to be ready for that,” the former Secretary of State asserted, according to Fox News.

In making this statement, Clinton cited Trump’s claims that mail-in voting could result in widespread fraud and undermine the election. Clinton added that she assumes these claims by the President are his way of tailoring the election in his favor.

“There have been so many academic studies and other analyses which point out that it’s just an inaccurate, fraudulent claim,” Clinton said.

“There isn’t that problem. All the games that are played … to try and keep the vote down – that’s the real danger to the integrity of our election, that combined with disinformation and misinformation and all the online shenanigans we saw in 2016,” she continued.

Clinton went on to voice concerns that Republican politicians would aim to eliminate mail-in voting in an effort to create long lines at polling stations and in doing so, make voting more difficult for young people and minorities.

“I want a fair election. If people get to vote and…

Conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh updated listeners on his battle with cancer this week and testified to the power of prayer. Limbaugh had not provided his fans with an update in a while because he said he “did not want to be a cancer patient here on the radio” because cancer “takes over your life if you let it.”

Limbaugh used a baseball analogy to explain where he was in his treatment. “My first two at-bats were horrible. My first two at-bats struck out. Nothing to show for it.” He explained that the first was a round of clinical trial drugs which were effective but “nearly killed me in the process.” He said that the second was a total failure.

However, Limbaugh’s third attempt at treatment has provided some hope. To continue his baseball analogy, he said, “I hit a solid single and managed to steal second. I am currently on second base hoping to slide into third and eventually make it all the way home.” He said they are in the bottom of the ninth, but “if I get all the way home, we get extra innings.”

He said that he had expected to feel terrible for 10 days after his most recent treatment and did not. He said he felt bad for two days and then had several really good days. Then he added, “I believe prayer works.” He also said the progress made in his most recent treatment is a “blessing.”

Doctors diagnosed Limbaugh with advanced-stage lung cancer in January. A few…

Conservative radio host and best-selling author Eric Metaxas said in a recent interview that he believes attacks on churches and religious statues are aimed at God and not a result of civil unrest.

As Christian Headlines previously reported, multiple churches were burned in arson attacks and statues were vandalized across multiple U.S. states over the weekend.

On Monday’s broadcast of “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” Metaxas addressed a recent tweet by former DNC Chairman Howard Dean who considers Christianity to be a religion of hate.

Unfortunately Christians don’t have much a reputation for anything but hate these days thanks to Franklin Graham and Jerry Falwell and other trump friends. AJC gets no points for this. https://t.co/Jwge4z6Spf

Metaxas likened Dean’s post to how Emperor Nero blamed Christians for burning Rome in 64 A.D. and added that the underlying motive behind the attacks on churches and statues is likely rooted in a hatred of God.

“I think a lot of the nastiness that is being directed at these statues, it really has to do with something deeper, Tucker,” Metaxas noted. “I hate to say it, but there’s something very dark.  You saw this in the French Revolution. There was a hatred at the bottom of it of God, of any kind of authority.”

“These people are drunk with the idea that they can…

Christian leaders are applauding the Trump administration for reversing course and allowing international students to remain in the United States if they only take online classes.

The controversy began earlier this month when Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced that students with visas attending colleges that are fully online due to the pandemic “must depart the country” or transfer to a school with in-person instructions.

The policy sparked a diverse outcry, including from members of both parties and faith-based campus groups. A coalition of more than a dozen Christian ministries, including InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, urged the Trump administration to reconsider.

It also led to lawsuits against the federal government.

According to Politico, on Tuesday, U.S. District Court Judge Allison D. Burroughs said the Trump administration had reversed its policy. Burroughs was hearing a lawsuit against the government.

“We at InterVarsity are very pleased that ICE dropped its plan to deport international college students who only use online courses,” said Tom Lin, president of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship. “Their proposal lacked compassion and fell short of American ideals. And because of our faith, we felt it important to speak out publicly about the fact that it violated the tenets of our faith to ‘not mistreat the foreigner’ (Lev. 19:33) but to…

In a rare interview spree, megachurch pastor Andy Stanley of North Point Ministries is speaking out on his church’s decision to not gather until 2021 in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Stanley made the announcement earlier this week and the decision made international news headlines, according to Christianity Today. For Stanley, creating certainty in the midst of a confusing crisis can give church members a path forward.

“I announced to our churches that we would not be meeting publicly for the next three Sundays. Some pastors called and said, ‘What do you know that we don’t?’ I said, ‘I don’t know anything you don’t. I just know that clarity in the midst of uncertainty is the way forward,’” Stanley said on the Stetzer Leadership Podcast.

The Atlanta-based pastor also recognized that his church staff was spending their limited resources and energy to create a service for only 20% of the congregation when that time could be redirected to creating an online community that could reach nearly all of them.

“… This is really my mission decision. It’s not based on emotion. It’s on point with our mission to inspire people to follow Jesus. It’s a very outsider-focused decision instead of an insider-focused decision,” he said.

Stanley and his leadership surveyed their congregations across multiple campuses to get a pulse on member’s feelings…

A liberal-led boycott of Goya Foods has sparked a conservative backlash, with more than $250,000 raised in less than four days to purchase Goya products for food banks.

Casey Harper, a television producer in Arlington, Va., set up a fundraiser on GoFundMe.com after U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other Democrats called for a boycott of Goya when its CEO appeared at the White House July 9 and said the U.S. was “blessed” to have President Trump.

Goya CEO Robert Unanue made the comments at Trump’s signing of the Hispanic Prosperity Initiative. Unanue – who said he prays for Trump – also announced Goya was donating 2 million pounds of food to food banks to assist families impacted by the pandemic.

Goya’s products are a staple in many Hispanic homes.

Harper, a producer for Sinclair and Eric Bolling, set up the fundraiser with an initial goal of $10,000. As of Wednesday morning, it had netted $255,000.

During the Obama administration, Unanue also appeared at an event with First Lady Michelle Obama.

“What if we rise up to say no to cancel culture AND feed the hungry at the same time?” Harper asked in his initial post. “… GOYA is facing a boycott that could cost the CEO his job. The liberal mob is coming for anyone who disagrees. Cancel culture at its worst. We need to have our voice heard!”

Harper said he personally spent $225.29 on GOYA…
