Title: Ruth Bader Ginsburg was the Sexual State in a Black Robe
Topic: Supreme Court Decisions
Discussed by Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse
with The Ruth Institute (www.RuthInstitute.org)
Ruth Institute President Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse recently stated
this about the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg: She is “the personification of the
Sexual State in a black robe”. Today, she explains why she
believes this.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Was Ruth Bader Ginsburg the poster-child of the Sexual State in a Black Robe?
Did Ginsburg use the highest law of the land to overturn Democratic processes
that tried to protect traditional sexual morals?
Ginsburg once played an important role in removing barriers to the distinction
between women and men. Why does Dr. Morse believe Ginsburg’s ruling actually
erased women and their importance?
Are radical feminists beginning to see that the transgender agenda is now
harming women?
Was Ginsburg on the “wrong side” of many opinions, according to
Christian values?
Did Ginsburg have a marked hostility to religion?

Title: SCOTUS Spoke. Now it’s Time We Did, Too.
Topic: Supreme Court Decisions
Discussed by Kirk Walden
with Pregnancy Help News (www.pregnancyhelpnews.com)
The Supreme Court had its say. We still have ours. Let’s get to
work.
New guest Kirk Walden is with Pregnancy Help News. He will be
discussing three action steps for those asking, “What can we do now?” Kirk can
be found here.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Kirk is an unabashed, unapologetic, undaunted pro-life activist. He was
understandably upset when he learned of the recent SCOTUS decision concerning
HB2. Listen in as he describes those moments.
What are the three action steps which you can implement now to further the
pro-life mission?
Do abortion clinics really “sell” the killing of babies? “A woman doesn’t
wake up in the morning wanting to go to an abortion center,” Kirk believes.
That is why Pregnancy Help News and other centers like theirs are so
important.
In fact, if only one-fifth of pro-life supporters gave $100 to their local
pregnancy help center, they could double the average centers budget in one day.
If you can’t give $100, you can probably $20. If you don’t think that amount
matters, think again. $20 can go a long, long way.

Title: It’s Legal – Not Safe or Rare
Topic: Supreme Court Decisions
Discussed by Dr. David Stevens
with Christian Medical and Dental Association www.CMDA.org
Disclaimer: Use caution when listening to this segment around young
children. Issues discussed might be upsetting or hard for little ones to
understand.
Regarding the recent SCOTUS decision on HB2, Dr. David Stevens, the
Christian Medical and Dental Association CEO, has stated: "Given the
shocking revelations of abysmal health and safety deficiencies in abortion
clinics around the country, the Court's disallowance of health and safety
requirements just protects what amounts to back-alley abortions.”
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Concerning abortion, the left loves to claim it is “safe, legal, and rare”. Is
this an accurate statement?
How much information must a surgeon give a patient before any type of surgery
(not including abortions)? Is informed consent required for liability purposes?
NOTE: Dr. Stevens reveals some shocking financial statistics
here that will blow your mind – and make you cry.
Do surgical and drug-induced abortions carry significant risks to the mother
which require timely and continuity of care? “Abortion is the ‘sacred cow’
in this country,” Dr. Stevens declares. “Because of that, no laws can
be used to even control it in a reasonable way and to make sure that it is safe
for women.”
After rebuking Texas for their pro-life bill, deeming it unconstitutional,
SCOTUS also refused to rule concerning the right of a health professional (i.e.
a pharmacist) to be exempt from participating in a process that intends to kill
an unborn child. Listen in as Dr. Stevens gives more details about that lawsuit
and what we, as Christians, must do to ensure the future is bright for our
children and grandchildren.

Title: HB2 Does NOT Harm Women. It Helps Them.
Topic: Supreme Court Decisions
Discussed by Dr. Tom Oliverson
with Dr. Tom Oliverson (www.TomOliverson.com)
Like many across the country, Dr. Tom Oliverson was extremely saddened when he heard the final decision from SCOTUS concerning HB2.
Dr. Tom Oliverson is a candidate to become the next Texas State Representative for House District 130. He became involved in politics as a “patient safety expert”. Today, he shares his thoughts concerning the recent SCOTUS decision.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said: “…abortion is at least as safe as other medical procedures routinely performed in outpatient settings. Given those realities, it is beyond rational belief that H. B. 2 could genuinely protect the health of women, and certain that the law ‘would simply make it more difficult for them to obtain abortions.” What is Dr. Oliverson’s opinion concerning Justice Ginsburg’s rationale?
How do physicians gain admitting privileges at local hospitals? This is very important information to know and understand. Listen in as Dr. Oliverson explains the process and how difficult/easy it is for physicians to gain admitting privileges. Nothing is stopping abortion doctors from access to a hospital – except maybe their own lack of sympathy and compassion.
Why do so many people believe that abortion facilities should not be required to provide the same level of care as other outpatient surgery centers? Furthermore, why are abortionists given a “free pass” so-to-speak while other surgeons must jump through hoops and are blocked by red tape at every corner?
Did SCOTUS actually limit the access women have to a safe environment by halting HB2?

Title: SCOTUS Devalues Women’s Safety
Topic: Supreme Court Decisions
Discussed by Arina Grossu
with Family Research Council (www.FRC.org)
On Monday, June 27, SCOTUS announced its 5-3 decision in Whole Woman's Health v. Hellerstedt, striking down Texas’ H.B. 2 common-sense regulation and enforcement of basic health standards in abortion facilities.
Arina Grossu is the Director of the Center for Human Dignity with the Family Research Council. She believes, and rightfully so, that “The need to regulate abortion facilities is necessary to protect women against cut-and-run abortionists at shoddy abortion facilities.”
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Are there any medical doctors on the US Supreme Court?
Are the Supreme Court Justices placing women’s lives at risk?
Wasn’t the battle cry of those wanting to legalize abortion in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s: ‘No More Back Alley Abortions’? Arina says, “What the Supreme Court did was bring the back alley right into the abortion facilities and give them a stamp of approval.” Listen in as Arina quotes from the SCOTUS majority opinion concerning their decision.
NOTE: If you are pro-life, it will make your blood boil.
Arina Grossu also reveals some shocking statistics regarding blatant, criminal behavior by abortionists and others who work at abortion facilities which the Supreme Court Justices acknowledge exists. Yet, they did nothing to help keep women safe. Nothing.
NOTE: If you are pro-life, it will make your blood boil even more than it was before.

Title: Huge Blow to the Pro-Life Movement
Topic: Supreme Court Decisions
Discussed by Roger Severino
with The Heritage Foundation (www.Heritage.org)
What is the next step after the recent Supreme Court decision
concerning abortion clinics in Texas?
New guest, Roger Severino, focuses on religious liberty, marriage, and life
issues as director of the DeVos Center for Religion and Civil Society at The
Heritage Foundation. Today, he will be discussing the impact of Monday’s
Supreme Court decision on pro-life efforts not only in Texas, but all of the
United States.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Did the Supreme Court choose profits over women's health? Listen in as Roger
explains what the Texas law entailed and why it was to help women, not hinder.
In the majority opinion, did five Justices actually agree that some doctors are
going to ignore laws anyway, so why pass another law? Really?
However, the Supreme Court recently ruled that states have a right to require
safety standards for women. Why did they flip?
Should we just toss the Constitution in the trash?

Title: SCOTUS Abortion Decision
Topic: Supreme Court Decisions
Discussed by Arina Grossu
with Family Research Council (www.FRC.org)
Besides the obvious fact that banning all abortions is the best
solution, Texas simply wants to ensure Planned Parenthood and other abortion
facilities are clean and safe for women and babies. Now, the
Supreme Court of the United States will be deciding what matters most: killing
babies or safer, cleaner facilities.
Arina Grossu is the Director of the Center for Human Dignity with the Family
Research Council. “Women are being hurt in abortion facilities all
around the country. Women have died,” Arina says. “The law that’s at
stake right now is concerning very basic, very necessary health and safety
standards.” Listen in as Arina describes some of the issues at hand and why
abortion facilities should have the same standard of care as other out-patient
facilities.
Another aspect of the Texas law being challenged concerns “doctor admitting
privileges” at nearby hospitals. Most abortion doctors are not on staff or do
not have privileges at hospitals. If a complication arises during or even days
after an abortion, this puts women at serious risk. “It’s unconscionable
that the abortion industry is even fighting this,” Arina says as she
explains why the abortion industry is doing everything they can to stop this.
The Supreme Court Justices have heard the oral arguments. Now is the time that
Christians must hit their knees and pray without ceasing. We are currently
missing one major, key vote in our favor since Justice Scalia passed away. “While
we wait [for the vote], we must continue to be vocal about what is going on in
the abortion industry,” Arina also implores. Make sure friends, family
members, co-workers, neighbors – everyone – realize how dangerous abortions
really are.

Title: Supreme Court is Trying to do Right for Once
Topic: Supreme Court Decisions
Discussed by Nicolas Loris
with The Heritage Foundation (www.Heritage.org)
New guest Nicolas Loris is an economy expert on energy and
environment, climate change, energy policy, coal, oil, and natural gas,
renewable energy with the
Heritage
Foundation. Nicolas is here today to discuss the recent
decision from the Supreme Court concerning the EPA’s Clean Power Plan. While
they did not come to a final decision yet, they have put a temporary halt to
Obama’s EPA and their desire to take over control of the county’s electric
system.
Nicolas firmly believes that each individual state should have total control
over how to best meet the people’s energy needs. In regards to the current
system, he says: “The laws of supply and demand for energy work pretty well.”
However, the Clean Power Plan would overhaul each state’s energy economy. The
same goes for the affordability of the various energy forms. States know best!
Listen in as Nicolas explains why.
“It’s not just a war on coal; it’s a war on families and businesses,”
Nicolas Loris boldly states. And he is exactly right! As with most other schemes
by the EPA, the Clean Power Plan is an attempt to bankrupt the coal industry.
After all, back in 2008, Obama stated that he would do just that if elected to
the Presidency. He only has a few short months left to complete this dream of
his and he is putting the hammer to the nail.
Nicolas goes on to discuss how the EPA is becoming more and more bold in their
attempts to take control of our lives. They do not care about the family. They
do not care about the small business. They see dollar signs and will do
everything they can to increase that number. “This has nothing to do with
regulating the point source of emission which is the power plant. It’s about
restructuring America’s energy sector. And that’s problematic,” Nicolas
warns.

Title: Temporary Strike Against the EPA
Topic: Supreme Court Decisions
Discussed by Kathleen White
with Texas Public Policy Foundation (www.TexasPolicy.com)
The Supreme Court has finally done something right!
Oh, Hallelujah! What on earth are we talking about? Kathleen White, with the
Texas Public Policy Foundation, is an expert on all things concerning the
environment and is here today to give us the scoop. Note: She also chaired the
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality from 2001-2007. The TCEQ is the
second largest environment regulatory agency in the world (only the EPA is
larger).
So, what happened? What did SCOTUS do? They issued a stay on Obama’s Clean Power
Plan. “This is a regulation unlike any that the EPA has ever issued,”
Kathleen says. The Clean Power Plan will ultimately give the EPA complete and
total control over the entire electric sector in the United States. Yes – they
want control over all the electricity in every state. “There is nothing in
the law that gives the EPA this kind of authority,” she explains.
We’ve explained many times on the What’s UP Radio Program how America
companies that moved their production business to Europe decades ago are now
coming back to the US due to the outrageous electric rates overseas. Kathleen
White goes on to discuss the drastic increase in electric rates in Europe,
specifically in Germany and England. They are paying three times more than we
are! That is just ridiculous! Note: Most Germans don’t live in 2,000+ square
foot homes like we do in the US. They live in 750 square foot apartments – and
they can’t even afford to heat and cool those!
“Energy is wonderful! It keeps us healthy!” Kathleen proclaims. But
what will happen here if Obama (or Hillary or Bernie) grants total control to
the EPA, shutting down all coal-fired electric plants? The Clean Power Plan is
designed to control every aspect of electricity in the United States. It’s just
like Obamacare and we all know how well that’s turned out to be! The EPA has
even admitted that their Clean Power Plan will only reduce the “predicted
rate of warming by 0.02 degrees Celsius”. That is nothing! That doesn’t
even register as a change!
Listen in as Kathleen White explains what will happen if the EPA is given
unchecked control. We are not out of the woods yet regarding this issue. The
Supreme Court merely issued a “stay” and will still review all the presented
material. We need to pray they shut it down completely!

Title: The Supreme Court has Murdered the Rule of Law
Topic: Supreme Court Decisions
Discussed by Dr. Tamzin Rosenwasser
with Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (www.aapsonline.org)
The Rule of Law was
murdered on June 25, 2015, when the Supreme Court upheld Obamacare.
Jonathan Gruber, the mastermind behind Obamacare, can be seen – on
video – stating that the American people, especially the politicians, have been
duped. How can SCOTUS blatantly ignore this fact?
As a life-long dog lover and trainer,
Dr. Tamzin Rosenwasser realized that her dogs have better access to medical
care and more medical privacy than she had. Furthermore, her veterinarians are
paid more than physicians in the United States for the exact same surgeries. So,
she has decided to be a voice for the people and fight back against Obamacare
and other issues.
Today, Dr. Rosenwasser is here to discuss The Law: What is right and wrong? Are
laws black and white, or are there gray areas? Do judges have the authority to
interpret laws differently than the people? Listen in as Dr. Rosenwasser
explains in more detail how she believes the Justices are being
“intellectually dishonest”.
“These Justices are not the boss of us,” she proclaims. We need to stop
them – now!
