Nevada cracking down on brothel ads

A federal appeals court has upheld a Nevada law that prevents brothels from advertising in areas of the state where prostitution is not legal, such as Las Vegas and Reno, according to a report by The Associated Press. There are about two dozen brothels in the state. The ruling applies to billboards, Newspapers and leaflets. Nevada Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto hailed the ruling by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The court reversed a 1979 ruling that laws prohibiting brothel advertising in counties where prostitution is illegal were overly broad and unconstitutional. Family advocates expect an appeal by […]

Court rules in favor of keeping “God” in Pledge

The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled March 18 that teacher-led recitations of the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools are constitutional. Atheist Michael Newdow has been pushing to have “one nation under God” removed from the pledge. Bruce Hausknecht, judicial analyst for Focus on the Family Action, said the court was correct in its assessment that the “pledge is not a prayer. It establishes a patriotic allegiance, not a religion, and it confirms that this is a nation founded under God, not under atheism.” In a separate decision on a companion case, the same three-judge panel unanimously rejected Newdow’s […]

The future of Christian Speculative Fiction

In the past few years, millions have flocked to movie theaters and book stores, hoping to get their fix of storylines filled with vampires, time travel, dragons, and other fantasy-laden and science fiction-charged scenarios. For Christians, however, who are interested and on the hunt for enjoyable speculative fiction, this can be a daunting task. Christian speculative fiction, an umbrella term that covers anything related to science fiction, end times, post-apocalyptic, super-hero, vampires and time travel, written from a Christian perspective, has not been well-received over the years by many Christian publishers. Most publishers have chosen to play it safe, sticking […]

Nearly half of the people who responded – 46 percent – say casinos have a negative local impact. More than 1,000 people took part in the survey. Rep.

Frank already has been successful in delaying the implementation of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA). It was supposed to go into effect at the end of last year. It’s been delayed until June. Family advocates explain that Frank called for the […]

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has launched “Hidden in Plain Sight,” an initiative aimed at educating people about human trafficking. Linda Smith, former congresswoman and president of Shared Hope International, said most people don’t realize middle-school children are being sold every day in the U.S. “These kids are hidden in plain view,” she said. “They are in our foster care system. And they’re in the strip club or the adult venues where they sell sex or produce pornography.” Billboards will be put up in 14 cities across the nation, with a toll-free number for people reporting possible trafficking victims. Smith […]
