An unintended but interesting consequence of the Supreme Courts decision to overrule Roe v. Wade has been a significant decrease in Americas hookup culture.In the first year after the high courts overturning of easy abortion access‚ 78% of surveyed singles indicated that the lack of federal abortion protections affected their sex and dating lives‚ according to the 13th annual study of 5‚000 singles by Match Group‚ an internet and technology company that says it operates the largest number of global matchmaking platforms.This years Match Group survey showed a marked increase‚ to 87%‚ in this change in sex and dating patterns. In fact‚ because of the Supreme Courts decision in Dobbs v. Jackson in June 2022‚ 14% of those surveyed said they have less sex overall and decreased casual sex‚ while 1 in 10 chose to no longer engage in any sexual activity. Moreover‚ USA Todayreported that sex therapists say that since the overruling of Roe v. Wade‚ anxiety over premarital and extramarital sex has soared‚ causing their clients to reconsider sex‚ dating‚ and relationships.The Match Work study thus provides insight on how secularists have begun to realize that the sexual liberation and ease of abortion access since the 1970s created confusion about stable intimate relationships‚ an intimacy confusion that effectively disconnected intimate sexual behavior from emotional bonding.The 1960s and 1970s witnessed an incredible liberalization of our cultures sexual mores. This growth in sexual activity‚ caused in part by the ease of access to abortion‚ also had the effect of increasing sexually transmitted diseases.According to a 2003 study measuring abortion on demands effect on sexual behavior‚ legalizing abortion provided extra incentives to engage in risky sexual behavior.The authors of the study reported the existence of a causal relationship between abortion and sexually transmitted diseases. They concluded that abortion laws introduced in the early 1970s affected sexual behavior as measured by the proxy of STD incidences and that legalized abortion led to an increase of about one-fourth of the average disease incidence as measured by the increase in cases of gonorrhea and syphilis.Some states had legalized abortion in 1969 and 1970‚ and the Supreme Courts Roe v. Wade decision in 1973 provided a green light to such legislative action. Glamorized by the media and by celebrities‚ premarital and extramarital affairs no longer carried the stigma of social or moral opprobrium.The ubiquitous use of sex in advertising‚ movies‚ television‚ and fashionsex as entertainment‚ as economic incentive‚ as a substitute for thought‚ for communication‚ for edificationgave public blessing to the unashamed use of sex as a crass commodity of self-gratification. Sexual gratification became valued more than physical and emotional well-being. The pursuit of the former generally led to the neglect of the latter.The emergence of hookup culture (also referred to as non-relationship sex‚ recreational sex‚ friends with benefits‚ no-strings-attached relationships‚ one-night stands‚ and sex without dating) together with the right to abort a baby (thus obviating the fear of an unwanted pregnancy) led to widespread sexual activity uncoupled from relationships.The existence of this phenomenon alone was likely sufficient to promote the acceptance of adultery and sexual promiscuitynot because they are right‚ but because they are viewed as natural‚ normal‚ and something everybody else does.For those who still seek sex outside marriage since the overturning of Roe v. Wade‚ the Match Group survey reports that nonpenetrative sex is gaining in popularity among at least 10% of individuals surveyed. Moreover‚ 18% of those seeking sex outside marriage say they have become more adamant about using condoms.Although it is interesting to consider how the overruling of Roe v Wade affects Americas sexual practices‚ the survey didnt discuss an important factor: how traditional religious values affect sexual activity.The Match Group study nevertheless sets forth figures concerning the importance of traditional families to a majority of singles surveyed. Fully 79% of this group (83% for Generation Z and millennials) say they believe they can experience life-long marriage. And 57% expressed a desire to have a spouse who wants to have children.Those who identify as observant in their faith generally marry younger than those who dont‚ and a greater percentage of religious-minded than secular individuals maintain their celibacy before marriage.The idea of marriage and families based on the universal and enduring values created by God thousands of years ago (Genesis 1:28‚ 2:18‚ 2:24) has been transmitted down through the generations by the Abrahamic faith traditions (also known as the Judeo-Christian worldview and the Noahide Laws). Religious believers hold the biblical view that marriage is the only appropriate vehicle to express ones sexuality.A recent Pew Research Report found that 80% of American adults said they believe that the role of religion in American life is shrinking. But the findings above reinforce the view that traditional religious family values are increasing marriage and romantic coupling while lessening our cultures predominant narrative encouraging sexual liberation.After all‚ the same Pew study indicated that a majority of those surveyed (57%) said they believe that the influence of religion within our culture is a good thing.Although social trends affecting sexuality may change‚ in part because of the legality of abortion on demand‚ our religious brethren remain steadfast about disciplining and channeling sexual impulses. These traditional religious values encourage healthy‚ committed relationships that in turn strengthen and encourage robust families‚ an essential and basic principle underlying Judaism‚ Christianity‚ and Islam.A persons body and soul are not possessions to abuse‚ harm‚ or destroy. Leviticus 19:1 commands us to be holy‚ a directive that carries strong ethical and moral implications for humanity as we strive to imitate God.By participating in hookup culture‚ we effectively defile the divine presence within us. Unmoored from a committed and loving marital relationship‚ sex‚ dating‚ and relationships are dramatically affected.An unchecked sex drive and unfettered access to abortion harm both the individual and the society in which he or she lives.

A Nebraska state legislator is transitioning from blue to red after his own party censured him for having a pro-life stance. Nebraska state Sen. Mike McDonnell officially left the Democratic Party last week after 40 years and became a Republican.Ina written statement explaining his decision‚ McDonnell wrote: I have asked the Democratic Party to respect my religious based pro-life position. Instead over the last year they have decided to punish me for being pro-life. Last month‚ the Nebraska Democratic Partyvoted to censure McDonnell‚ a Catholic‚ over his pro-life record‚ contending that his stance adversely affected the reproductive rights of Nebraskans and the rights of transgender individuals in the state. Douglas County Democrats alsovotedin January to deny party funding to McDonnell due to his votes against abortion measures and against gender transition procedures for minors.The state Democratic Party voted to censure me because I am pro-life‚ McDonnell wrote. Being a Christian‚ a member of the Roman Catholic Church and pro-life is more important to me than being a registered Democrat. Today I am changing my party affiliation to Republican.Ina speechaddressing his decision‚ McDonnell explained that he registered as a Democrat in 1984 and ran for the state Legislature in 2016. I wanted to see how we could grow our state and reduce property taxes at the same time‚ he said. I asked the Democratic Party of Douglas County to respect that Im pro-life‚ that Im a member of the Roman Catholic Church‚ and my beliefs are based on that. But Douglas County Democrats‚ instead of respecting that‚ they decided to punish it. I continued to vote pro-life.This is not an easy decision‚ the state senator added. After 40 years of being a registered Democrat‚ having your grandfather tell you when youre 10 years old‚ What are we? Were Irish‚ were Catholic‚ and were Democrats. That kind of stuck with me.Pointing to his new Republican Party colleagues‚ McDonnell said: Over the last year‚ regardless of my decision [on] switching parties‚ they have been so supportive. We had great discussions about what the Republican Party is doing‚ where theyre trying to go‚ how I potentially could fit in there. But the greatest thing about [it] is now I can participate again.U.S. Sen. Pete Ricketts‚ R-Neb.‚ a former governor of the state‚respondedto McDonnells decision by writing on X: I am pleased to welcome Sen. Mike McDowell to the Republican team. He added: The extreme new Democrats are pushing commonsense officials and voters to our party.McDonnell is far from the only Catholic abandoning the Democratic Party due to what many consider mandatory abortion extremism. Recent studiesshowthat white American Catholics have been drifting away from the party for decades‚ but in increasing numbers over the past two decades‚ coalescing instead around the GOP. A survey of Michigan votersfoundlast month that former President Donald Trump‚ the presumptive Republican nominee credited with appointing three justices to the U.S. Supreme Court who enabled the dismantling of Roe v. Wade‚ holds a significant lead among Catholic voters over President Joe Biden‚ a Democrat and self-described Catholic. A week ago‚ the Catholic archbishop of Washington‚ D.C.‚ Cardinal Wilton Gregory‚called Biden a cafeteria Catholic due to his rejection of the Catholic Churchs teaching on abortion.In response to McDonnells new party affiliation‚ Nebraska Democratic Party Chairwoman Jane Kleebissued a written statementsaying: The Nebraska Democratic Party will continue to stand up for reproductive freedom and the human rights of the LGBTQ community.Kleeb added: Our decision to censure Sen. McDonnell was never about him being a pro-life Catholic. Our decision was based on our party reaffirming our core values to protect womens ability to make health decisions and to keep politicians out of our personal health decisions.Originally published by The Washington StandThe post Citing Pro-Life Views‚ Nebraska State Senator Switches Parties appeared first on The Daily Signal.

Well take a win when we can get it.The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA)‚ which many smaller schools are part of‚ announced Monday that only biological women will be allowed to compete in womens sports.CBS Sportsreported the news Monday afternoon and indicated that the NAIAs Council of Presidents approved the policy in a 20-0 vote following a survey from December that indicated widespread support for the move.The NAIA is a national athletic governing body for 249 colleges across the country who arent part of the NCAAs three divisions. NAIA covers mostly private schools.This is huge for protecting both fairness and safety in schools‚ and NAIA president Jim Carr agreed with that sentiment. For us‚ we believed our first responsibility was to create fairness and competition in the NAIA. ... We also think it aligns with the reasons Title IX was created. You';re allowed to have separate but equal opportunities for women to compete.Carr pointed out that the decision doesnt stop anyone from playing in the men';s category as that is open to anyone‚ regardless of sex or gender identity. That makes sense since the men who want to compete in the womens categories are often the ones who couldnt rank in the mens category. I mean look at Penn States Lia Thomas who failed epically as Richard Thomas but became a champion when competing against girls.NAIA Council of Presidents chair and St. Ambrose University president Amy Novak said‚ With this policy‚ the NAIA has made its best effort to allow for the inclusion of transgender athletes in any way which does not impact the competitive fairness of women';s sports. Our priority is to protect the integrity of women';s athletics and allow them equal opportunity to succeed.As CBS News pointed out‚ the NAIA is believed to be the first national college governing body to mandate that athletes compete according to assigned sex at birth.Hopefully the NCAA follows the steps of the NAIA and recognizes how unfair and unsafe it is to have biological men in womens sports.

Former President Donald Trump';s legal team filed a motion Friday requesting the recusal of Acting Justice Juan Merchan over alleged ";actual conflict"; and ";unacceptable appearance of impropriety‚"; the New York Times reported.The paperwork requests that the trial‚ slated for April 15‚ be delayed while Trump';s team challenges Merchan';s recent gag order against Trump. The recusal request alleged a conflict of interest‚ citing Merchan';s daughter';s political activities. ";Your Honor';s daughter‚ Loren Merchan‚ has a direct financial interest in these proceedings by virtue of her ownership stake and leadership role at Authentic Campaigns‚ Inc. Based on public disbursements data‚ Authentic‚ which services exclusively Democrat clients‚ is the #21 ranked vendor in the country in connection with the 2024 election‚"; the 37-page filing stated. ";The Court';s interest in these proceedings by virtue of the close relationship with an immediate relative‚ and Ms. Merchan';s ongoing receipt of commercial and reputational benefits based on the manner in which Your Honor has conducted these proceedings‚ requires recusal based on an actual conflict and an unacceptable appearance of impropriety.";The judge';s gag order prevents the former president from making public statements about individuals involved in the case‚ including Loren Merchan.Trump wrote on Truth Social‚ ";Now‚ we have Merchan‚ who is not allowing me to talk‚ thereby violating the Law and the Constitution‚ all at once. It is so bad what he is trying to get away with - How was he even chosen for this case??? I heard he fought like hell to get it‚ and all of the rest of them also!"; ";If this Partisan Hack wants to put me in the ';clink'; for speaking the open and obvious TRUTH‚ I will gladly become a Modern Day Nelson Mandela - It will be my GREAT HONOR‚"; Trump continued. ";We have to Save our Country from these Political Operatives masquerading as Prosecutors and Judges‚ and I am willing to sacrifice my Freedom for that worthy cause.";Trump';s attorneys previously requested a recusal in August 2023‚ which was ";based on ';remote and ';speculative'; arguments‚"; according to the Friday court filing. ";We dispute that conclusion‚ and it is clear that this motion cannot reasonably be dispensed of in that fashion.";At the time of the first recusal request‚ Trump was not yet the Republican nominee. His team argued that additional evidence demonstrating a conflict of interest had since surfaced.The filing noted that Trump';s success in the 2024 presidential election primaries ";has cemented his status as a political target of Authentic‚ Ms. Merchan‚ and their clients."; ";While that appears to be consistent with the company';s political views‚ the more important consideration for purposes of this motion is that Authentic benefits reputationally and makes more money by targeting President Trump‚"; it added.Trump';s team argued that ";it would be completely unacceptable to most New Yorkers if the judge presiding over these proceedings had an adult child who worked at WinRed or MAGA Inc.";";Personal political views may not be a basis for recusal‚"; the court filings continued. ";But profiting from the promotion of a political agenda that is hostile to President Trump‚ and has included fundraising solicitations based on this case‚ must be.";Trump has pleaded not guilty to the 34 counts of falsifying business records lodged against him in April 2023 by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
