In this episode of The Narrative Podcast, Center for Christian Virtue President Aaron Baer and Policy Director David Mahan are back discussing Woke Capitalism with special guest, Joel Berry.

State Senator Tina Maharath, a Democrat from Canal Winchester, has proposed legislation to hold men accountable who cause unintended pregnancies, whether the sex that caused the pregnancy was consensual or not. Center for Christian Virtue applauds Senator Maharath’s pro-family legislation, SB 262.

Listen in as they unpack the latest decision from the U.S. Supreme Court on the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization case that overturned Roe. Also joining this week is special guest Vivek Ramaswamy, a first-generation American entrepreneur, investor, and author from southwest Ohio.

The Ohio Supreme Court has denied the recent motion made by a group of abortion clinics represented by the ACLU to halt the Heartbeat Bill and enshrine a constitutional “right to abortion.” The Heartbeat Bill protects the lives of unborn babies whose heartbeats can be detected on an ultrasound. It went into effect in Ohio the day Roe v. Wade was overturned. Since then pro-abortion groups have been frantically searching for ways to continue performing abortions.

Pro-abortion groups including Preterm-Cleveland, Planned Parenthood, Ohio, Women’s Med Group Professional Corporation, Northeast Ohio Women’s Center, and Toledo Women’s Center filed a lawsuit in the Ohio Supreme Court to overturn the Heartbeat Bill, which protects unborn babies from being aborted once a heartbeat is detected, and to enshrine a right to abortion in the Ohio Constitution.

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that a Texas school district violated the First Amendment freedoms of Coach Joseph Kennedy by firing him for his silent, personal prayer on the 50-yard line following football games.

Following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v Wade, Federal District Court Judge Michael Barrett has dissolved the injunction he placed on the Center for Christian Virtue backed Heartbeat Bill, enabling the law to go into effect.

The U.S. Supreme Court has settled it once and for all: states cannot discriminate against Christian schools. All across Ohio, families have been blessed by amazing Christian schools that sacrificially serve their students. Today’s 6-3 decision sends a clear message that religious intolerance against these schools from state officials is in direct violation of First Amendment religious freedoms.
