The Alabama abortion bill, motivated by religious dogma, is in the news this week. FFRF’s legal fellow Chris Line tells us about a state/church victory in Pennsylvania stopping “God Bless America” broadcast in a public school, and about a Texas county that displays Christian crosses on its courthouse. Then we speak with author, activist and award-winning journalist Janet Heimlich, founder of Child-Friendly Faith and co-host of the “Parenting Beyond Belief” podcast, about her book Breaking Their Will: Shedding Light on Religious Child Maltreatment, and about the “horrific” abuse at a Christian Texas ranch for at-risk children occurring over many decades.
