Topic: Pro-Life Issues
Discussed by Katherine Beck Johnson
with Family Research Council (www.FRC.org)
Part 1 of 3
Katherine Beck Johnson is a Research Fellow for Legal and Policy
Studies at the Family Research Council. She recently wrote: “All eyes were on Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch last week, waiting to see how she would defend her state’s 15-week abortion ban. Would Fitch be bold and mention that Roe and Casey should be overturned? Or would she try to convince the Court that the 15-week ban could be upheld under Casey?”

Title: Christianity Under Attack in Montgomery, Texas
Topic: Christian Discrimination in America
Discussed by Katherine Beck Johnson
with Family Research Council (www.FRC.org)
An organization of atheists, agnostics, and skeptics continue their
quest to stamp out any form of prayer in our country by attacking Judge Wayne
Mack, Justice of the Peace, Montgomery County, Texas.
Katherine Johnson is a Research Fellow for Legal and Policy Studies at the
Family Research Council. Today she discusses the case. More details can be
found here.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
What is the Freedom from Religion Foundation?
Judge Wayne Mack has been in public service in Texas for many years. It has
been his practice to use volunteer Chaplains to help and comfort families. Does
he only use ordained Baptist Ministers for short invocations each day in his
courtroom?
When did the Freedom from Religion Foundation first bring Judge Mack
before the Texas State Commission to stop all this praying? How did the Texas
State Commission rule? Katherine explains how Lt. Governor Dan Patrick and
Attorney General Ken Paxton became involved in the case.
Not deterred in their quest to remove prayer from the public square, the
Freedom from Religion Foundation filed suit in a local federal court. How
did left-leaning Federal District Judge Kenneth Hoyt rule?
Will this case ultimately find its way to the US Supreme Court?

Title: Should Abortion Doctors be Required to have Hospital Admitting Privileges?
Topic: Abortion Clinic Regulations
Discussed by Katherine Beck Johnson
with Family Research Council (www.FRC.org)
Part 1 of 2
Family Research Council President Tony Perkins will be attending the
Supreme Court oral arguments for June Medical Services v. Russo, a case
that will determine whether abortionists in Louisiana must have admitting
privileges at a nearby hospital.
Katherine Beck Johns discusses the importance of this decision and the
implications it will have nationwide. Katherine works with the FRC’s Legal and
Policy Studies.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
What does “admitting privilege” mean?
Are most doctors – and even dentists – required to have admitting privileges at
hospitals near their clinic? Katherine calls this “standard, common sense
medical care”.
Are women dying during and after the abortion procedure which was performed
within an abortion facility?
If a complication occurs, could quick admittance to a nearby hospital save the
mother’s life?
What are the main points in the Louisiana law requiring admitting privileges
that will be argued before the US Supreme Court?

Topic: Abortion Clinic Regulations
Discussed by Katherine Beck Johnson
with Family Research Council (www.FRC.org)
Questions/Issues Discussed:
What is an “amicus brief”?
Texas passed a similar law, which was struck down by the US Supreme Court in a
5-3 decision. However, the makeup of the court is different now. Could this
affect the outcome in June Medical Services v. Russo?
Is the Pro-Life movement also Pro-Woman?
