The U.S. Supreme Court Monday rejected a case brought against a Kentucky law requiring mothers to view an ultrasound and listen to audio of their child’s heartbeat before going through with their abortions. 

The nation’s high court offered no reasoning for its decision to let stand a Kentucky law that has been blocked by courts since it was enacted in 2017. But the court’s decision paves the way for the law to finally be enacted.

The law requires mothers to look at an ultrasound of their child while a doctor describes the ultrasound to the patient. Doctors are also required to play audio of the fetal heartbeat.

Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of Susan B. Anthony List, said, “Modern ultrasound technology opens an unprecedented window into the womb, providing indisputable evidence of the humanity of the unborn child.”

Amazon, Barnes & Noble selling book that encourages kids to summon 'playful' demons

Leading national retailers are selling a recently released children’s book that teaches children how to summon demons which has alarmed many parents. At least two retailers appear to have since stopped selling the book. 

Released in July, the book, titled A Children's Book of Demons, is available in paperback and authored by illustrator Aaron Leighton, who describes himself as a “fan of all things occult.”

As the holiday season gears up, the product is being sold by leading book retailers such as Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Books-A-Million. 

The book is marketed as appropriate for ages 5 to 10.

Kanye West joins Lecrae, Hillsong Young & Free, as headliner for 2020 teen conference

The newly born-again superstar, Kanye West was announced as one of the headliners of the Strength to Stand Bible Conference in Pigeon Forge, TN, in January after comedian John Crist was removed from the lineup. 

Strength to Stand Student Bible Conference leader Scott Dawson was looking to find someone to fill the slot until a friend suggested West.

Dawson said he shocked when he picked up the phone and West was on the other end.

“I realized that, although this is a worldwide megastar, he was a brother in Christ,” Dawson revealed. “He told me his testimony. He told me his struggles, what he was still going through. He said he’s been delivered, but he’s on a growth journey with Jesus.”

When asked if he would consider being a headliner in the conference, West assuredly responded, "After prayer and deliberation, I want you to know that I'm not considering it: I'm coming. I'll be there for your January conference."

Atlanta church pays off $10K worth of layaway Christmas gifts for families at Walmart

Christmas came early for 23 families in Atlanta Monday after a church paid off $10,000 worth of merchandise they had on layaway at a local Walmart.

The Rev. Kevin Murriel, senior pastor of Cascade United Methodist Church, told the gathering of families at the Walmart on Research Center Drive that his congregation was feeling “blessed to be a blessing” and he believes “everyone deserves a good Christmas.”

“We are here at Walmart today because we have been called by God to be here. And we want to be a blessing to those in our community, and that’s all of you,” he said.
