Tyndale House publishers, in Carol Stream IL, west of Chicago, got temporary relief while fighting the HHS mandate. Their lawyer, Matt Bowman (no relation), is optimistic, nails Obama admin. extremism in defense of secularism:
Bowman stated that, altogether, at all levels of the legal system, the Obama administration has lost 19 cases challenging injunctions in court and has won six.
He told CNA [Catholic News Agency] that it seems fairly obvious that the administration decided to drop the case because theyre afraid that their anti-religious argument will be shown to be completely absurd because their position is that not even a Bible publisher can exercise religion.
The government does not want to have to defend that position in court, and theyre going to try to delay or hide from that position in court, he said in an explanation of why the Obama administration may have dropped the appeal.
Bowman also contended that the administrations decision to end the appeal undermines the governments interest in imposing the mandate universally and demonstrates that the mandate is not really about womens health; its about politics.

This Oak Park IL doctor will revive Kansas’ abortion practice.
OAK PARK, Ill., May 20, 2013 /Christian Newswire/ — There’s only one abortion clinic in the state of Kansas, and Oak Park family doctor Cheryl Chastine owns it. The clinic, South Wind Women’s Center, recently opened in the same office in Wichita where notorious abortionist George Tiller operated. Like the recently convicted Kermit Gosnell, Tiller performed late term abortions on babies that were unquestionably old enough to survive outside the womb.
Kansas law requires that medical facilities be owned by a licensed doctor. When they couldn’t find a physician in the entire state of Kansas willing to take on ownership of South Wind, investors and abortion advocates seeking to re-open Tiller’s Wichita location tapped Oak Park’s Cheryl Chastine to put her name on the business and perform abortions there. Chastine agreed, and has signed herself onto the deadly legacy of Gosnell and Tiller.
Pro-lifers will demonstrate:

Chastine’s new job previously reported here.
Glenn Beck’s daughter was among the grads, Glenn was there. Among his thoughts:
. . . there was practically no mention of God [in the ceremony]. In fact, [at] one point, you know, the dean was talking about how we should ‑‑ we should serve each other, we should help each other, we should help the poor because ‑‑ and I thought, hes on it. Hes on the money. Hes on the money phrase. Because then indeed we all will be sons and daughters of fill in the blank, Glenn said.
When no one could guess, he revealed it was not sons and daughters of God but as sons and daughters of Fordham.

These fellows, for starters:
James Madison wrote, “The truth is that all men having power ought to be mistrusted.” John Adams wrote, “There is danger from all men. The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty.” Thomas Jefferson wrote, “In questions of power…let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution.”
Didn’t the IRS target groups that stated their goal as “educating the public about the Constitution”? No wonder.
This is what the Founders understood that today’s left doesn’t want to acknowledge or take seriously. Because if they did, they would have to give credence to the case for making government smaller and limiting its power.
Robert Tracinski on the case.
. . . at Republican conservatives.
Whoa. This is the party, fractured as usual, but it goes deeper than Jim (Got Milk) Oberweis’ maneuverings. It’s the nature of the beast.
The situation:
There are currently over 600,000 refugees in Kenya’s refugee camps, many of whom are unaccompanied, orphaned and separated refugee girls and single young women without family members. Refugee girls and young women face the highest risks of exploitation, assault, forced marriage, and abuse, resulting in extreme barriers to education, medical care, and employment.
Sara Lind continues:
These are the kind of things I learned when I started volunteering for Heshima Kenya, an organization that specializes in protecting unaccompanied refugee children and youth, especially girls, living in Nairobi, Kenya. As a mother, especially a mother to a daughter, these statistics have more power over me than they once did.

And know that OPRF grad Anne Sweeney co-founded Heshima Kenya and has been its executive director. She and our #2 Son, Peter, tied the marital knot a couple years ago, by the way. He’s put in time at Heshima K, now back at his work as architectural designer, she soon to rejoin him in Chi.
