Pro-life women are speaking out after singer and songwriter Stevie Nicks told a British newspaper that much of her success can be credited to an abortion.

Nicks, 72, was a lead singer with the band Fleetwood Mac before she recorded several solo albums beginning in 1981.

She told The Guardian for an Oct. 14 story that a 1979 abortion kept her career on track. She had become pregnant with Eagles singer Don Henley.

“If I had not had that abortion, I’m pretty sure there would have been no Fleetwood Mac,” Nicks told the newspaper. “There’s just no way that I could have had a child then, working as hard as we worked constantly. And there were a lot of drugs, I was doing a lot of drugs … I would have had to walk away.

“And I knew that the music we were going to bring to the world was going to heal so many people’s hearts and make people so happy,” Nicks added. “And I thought: you know what? That’s really important. There’s not another band in the world that has two lead women singers, two lead women writers. That was my world’s mission.”

Several pro-life women say Nicks’ opinion reflects skewed priorities.

“The ultimate lie that feminists tell women. … you have to have an abortion in order to succeed. So sad,” tweeted Kristan Hawkins, president of Students for Life.

On Sunday morning, Trump attended the International Church of Las Vegas where one of the pastors prophesied a second-term victory for the president, The Christian Post reports.

“At 4:30, the Lord said to me, ‘I am going to give your president a second win,’” Senior Associate Pastor Denise Goulet told Trump. “The Lord said, ‘he is ready for the next four years.'”

“There’s also this – a second wind…the Holy Spirit,” she explained. “The Lord showed me today that you are going to get a second wind…another in-filling of the Holy Spirit…because the Holy Spirit makes you able to finish, to take this to the end, Mr. President.”

“Then, he said to me you are the apple of His eye,” she continued. “He is protecting you like he is protecting the ancient foundations of our nation. God wants to be in the middle of our nation.”

Her husband, Senior Pastor Paul Goulet, noted that this was the president’s third visit to the nondenominational church and that he was welcomed as a member.

“This is your third time here. That means you’re a church member,” he said to the president. “I don’t care what anybody says. I love my president.”

Goulet went on to commend Trump’s presidential accomplishments during his first term including, protecting the unborn, advocating for religious freedom, moving the U.S embassy to Jerusalem,…

Members of Capitol Hill Baptist Church gathered in Washington, D.C., to hold their first outdoor services in the nation’s capital since they successfully sued to do so.

Capitol Hill Baptist had filed a lawsuit against the District over COVID-19 shutdown restrictions that prevented them from holding outdoor worship services.

“We are so excited to be able to meet together in DC again! And we are thankful for the generosity of the National Park Service who is graciously accommodating us,” stated the church in an announcement.

“Even though our church is finally meeting again, you should feel free in your conscience not to join us if that seems to be the wisest course of action. The sermon audio will be posted on the website following the service as usual.”

The church gathered at Anacostia Park in Southeast D.C. on Sunday morning, with attendees wearing face masks and being socially distanced in keeping with public health recommendations.

Attendees were asked to bring their own Bibles and printed out bulletins.

“Thankful that the Capitol Hill Baptist Church was able to meet in the District again…

A Change.org open letter petition written by students, alumni and parents of students and alumni of Moody Bible Institute says there is rampant sexual assault on the campus and that Moody Bible Institute has done very little to address the issue. The petition, which has over 2,600 signatures, was written to the President of the college, Mark Jobe, asking him to do something about the problem and stop trying to obscure it.

“While we have no desire to malign individuals out of spite, we feel it must be addressed that a few individuals who have been tasked with protection of Moody students have failed,” The open letter petition reads.

The open letter states there have been instances of stalking and sexual assault, and says the leadership has done nothing to address it.

The open letter petition asks Moody Bible Institute to:

1. Create a process for Student and Alumni voices to be considered in the naming of a new Dean of Students to replace Dean Arens.
2. Replace Rachel Puente as the Title IX coordinator and create a process for Student and Alumni voices to be considered in the naming of a new Title IX coordinator.
3. Remove any Title IX decision-makers who also have disciplinary powers (as Title IX requires), and replace them with impartial members of our community who can evaluate Title IX claims without considering potential disciplinary measures for the…

When it comes to issues of sexual purity, pastors are not “just one of the guys” and should be held to a higher standard, influential pastor and author John Piper said. 

In a recent episode of his “Ask Pastor John” podcast, Piper, founder of desiringGod.org and chancellor of Bethlehem College & Seminary in Minneapolis, Minnesota, weighed in on the question: “Is faultless chastity too high a standard for pastors?”

Piper first acknowledged that it takes “very special grace” to withstand sexual temptation — yet this grace is “is available in Christ to all Christians.”

The standard for church elders and pastors are higher than for ordinary Christian church members, he added, because of the special gifting required for elders and pastors called “teaching” and “governing.” 

“[T]here are ethical standards where the pastor is to be above reproach (1 Timothy 3:2), because he’s a very public figure and has the weighty calling of being an example to the flock (1 Peter 5:3) and an example to the world (1 Timothy 3:7),” he explained. 

Piper stressed that while many pastors try to give the impression, “with misplaced humility,” that they are “just one…

Americans support the confirmation of Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett and oppose the “court-packing” proposal by Democrats to increase the size of the high court, according to new surveys.

A majority of likely voters – 58 percent – say they oppose the proposal to “increase the size of the Supreme Court to include more than nine justices” if Barrett is confirmed and Joe Biden wins the White House, according to a New York Times/Siena survey conducted Oct. 15-18, after Barrett’s hearings before the U.S. Senate. Less than one-third (31 percent) support the concept.

Opposition to court-packing (a term not used in the poll) comes from 89 percent of Republicans and 65 percent of independents/others, according to the poll. More than one-fourth (28 percent) of Democrats oppose adding seats to the Supreme Court.

Biden, the Democratic nominee, said during a town hall last week he was “open” to the concept and would announce his position on court-packing prior to the election, assuming Barrett is confirmed. Some Democrats and liberal pundits have proposed court-packing as a way to counter the influence of Barrett, a conservative who would replace the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a member of the liberal bloc.

Americans also support Barrett’s confirmation, according to the NYT/Siena survey and a new Gallup poll. Likely voters, by a slim…

One of America’s oldest and largest African-American churches, Alfred Street Baptist Church, in Alexandria, Virginia, announced Tuesday that it has donated more than $1 million in surplus tithes to help a variety of community-based organizations since the start of the coronavirus pandemic.

“A few years ago we were blessed to be able to donate $1 Million to the National Museum of African American History and Culture. That’s why I’m so grateful to God that Alfred Street Baptist Church can continue to be a blessing to so many people in the community throughout our nation during this pandemic,” the Rev. Howard-John Wesley, senior pastor of the historic 10,000-member church, said in a statemement.

The donation was made as part of an initiative called Tithe-the-Tithe, that was started as a direct response to needs that emerged during the coronavirus pandemic for many organizations serving vulnerable communities.

“Clearly there was a lot of concern, dare I say even fear, some panic of what COVID would do. What would our numbers…
