In Context: Identifying Tentacles
The first full week Congress was in session after the Dobbs decision overturning Roe has been unusually full of material ripe for commentary. A few notes have been added on three items below. For this space, there is a larger trend emerging that is worth noting.

Committees held multiple post-Roe hearings this week. One of the more viral moments came between UC Berkeley School of Law Professor Khiara M. Bridges and Senator Hawley of Missouri. The exchange is noted below.

A more substantive policy point came later in her
written testimony: “The crisis in access to abortion care in the United States highlights the need for a bold, holistic, and intersectional policy response that puts within its range of vision everything from the need for comprehensive paid family and medical leave to laws that tackle the climate crisis and urgently protect the right to vote.”

The House Oversight and Reform Committee held a
hearing on “The Impact of the Supreme Court's Dobbs Decision on Abortion Rights and Access Across the United States.” In a Statement for the Record, the American Academy of Family Physicians wrote, “Family physicians understand that the health of their individual patients and communities is affected by social determinants of health, which is why the AAFP urges lawmakers to adopt a ‘Health in all policies’ approach that considers the broad health implications of policies not traditionally discussed as health care-related.” In other words, to them, every policy is a health policy.

While both of these comments came in the context of a hearing on abortion law, these suggestions extend way beyond. There is no agenda item that cannot be advanced in the name of “public health” or “for your safety” or “social justice.”

If you're not familiar with terms like
intersectional or social determinants of health, then beware, because these terms and many like them are tools of the left to argue away our freedom.

Father, please give us wisdom and discernment to know when it's worth learning and understanding the words used in lies against You. Help us to hold up Your Word of Truth to be able to know clearly and answer against the lies when necessary. Help it be clear and simple to us to be able to articulate what the enemy is doing and recognize when we should reject what is against You.

“Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.” (Ephesians 5:6)

GOP senator blocks bill to protect interstate travel for abortion (S. 4504) • Democratic Senators attempt unanimous consent passage of S. 4504, Freedom to Travel for Health Care Act, a bill related to abortion and traveling across state lines • Senator Lankford objected, noting “there is another bill that is actually being discussed that would literally—if you are a pregnancy resource center dealing with crisis pregnancies, if you don't perform abortions, they would call that misinformation. In the other bill that is being discussed right now, they would fine you $100,000. I can't even begin to explain my emotion when I think, if you take the life of a child, there is pressure to say: We want Federal funding to take the life of a child. If you protect the life of a child, we are going to fine you $100,000. … So while there is conversation about how to put a piece of legislation out that may very well protect individuals who are being trafficked to go to other States to get an abortion or all kinds of other issues that are there, I come back to the most basic thing: There is a child in this conversation”

Pending Activity
Committee Activity

Hearing on abortion devolves into debate over whether men can get pregnant • After several mentions during the hearing of people “with the capacity for pregnancy,” like this one with Sen. Cornyn, Sen. Hawley asked an initial question about the purpose of that language instead of just saying, “women.” • For decades, the left has referred to abortion as a “women's issue,” but if pregnancy and abortion are no longer limited to just women, Sen. Hawley wanted to know, “the core of this right, then, is about what?” • That's when: Berkeley professor to Hawley: ‘Your line of questioning is transphobic’ and “opens up trans people to violence” • The violence she cited was 20 percent of transgender people having attempted suicide. In other words, asking how she speaks about and includes male pregnancy and abortion in the issue would make Sen. Hawley responsible for transgender self-harm. • In her 12-page written testimony was an the answer to Sen. Hawley's initial question: “In recognition of the fact that cis women are not the only people who can become pregnant, this testimony uses the language of ‘People with the capacity for pregnancy’ or similar phrases so as to avoid eras[i]ng trans men and nonbinary people from the population of people affected by pregnancy regulations.” • Professor Bridges turned the tables and asked Sen. Hawley if he believed men could get pregnant. When he said, “No, I don't think men can get pregnant,” she concluded, “So, you're denying that trans people exist.” • We've gone from gender being an issue of orientation and identity to now being an existential issue. • Existential issues being threatened brings fear, and fear combined with extra-rational thinking could be destabilizing. • Pray that people believing these lies would know peace in who God made them to be, and that His people would find loving ways to tell them.

Our Weekly Call to Repentance

CHPP Welcomes You to Join Us Every Week in One Hour of Repentance
 

Sunday evening at 10:00 p.m. EDT
Dial 667-770-1415
Access Code: 150411#

Dear Saints,

A lifestyle of REPENTANCE is so close to the heart of God.


Indeed, He commands us to  "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!" Matthew 3:2

How, then, can we approach His Throne of GRACE, in repentance?

We invite you to join us every week on Sunday evening, as we explore this vital topic together. We present a different prayer focus each week, leading us into repentance, so that we might approach His Throne of Grace in repentance, presenting ourselves to Him as a pure and a spotless Bride, without spot or wrinkle. (Ephesians 5:27)

Praying together, we desire to fulfill the mandate of Psalm 139:

" Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; 24 And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting." Psalm 139:24

". . . and if My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

"Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to the prayer offered in this place."
(2 Chronicles 7:14,15)
