IV. Support the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Act

The American College of Pediatricians joined the American Association of Prolife Ob-Gyns (AAPLOG), the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS), the Christian Medical and Dental Associations (CMDA), and the Catholic Medical Association (CMA) in submitting a joint letter in   support of the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Act, which was published in Public Discourse, available here .

If your Senator voted against this bill, it might be time to meet with them or at least send them an email giving them your thoughts about their vote to allow born infants who survive abortion to die. This is no longer about a woman's body. This is infanticide pure and simple.

V. Research Vindicated

World magazine reported that a Brown University professor published a paper in August 2018 that suggested gender dysphoria in teens could be a social contagion and a maladaptive coping mechanism. Within days of the paper’s publication, transgender activists roared that the paper was “transphobic” and biased. As a result the original journal that published the paper Plus One sought further expert assessment of its methodology and conclusions, and that same day, Brown University pulled its press release on the paper and disavowed Littmann’s conclusions! A six month review of Dr. Littmann's paper was done by a team of experts. In the end, they made only cosmetic corrections.


Dr. Michelle Cretella Executive Director of ACPeds made the following comment,

"Dr. Littman and her very important work have been doubly vindicated—essentially having undergone the peer review process twice and coming to the same conclusion. However, it remains deeply disturbing that a scientific journal would kowtow to the bullying tactics of transgender activists. Dr. Littman’s work should not have been forced to undergo a second round of review.”
VI. Politicizing Pediatrics

The five-year-old boy who transitions to identify as a girl has taken a major step on a road that may lead to treatment with cross-sex hormones, castration, and infertility. Most five-year-old boys who say they are girls will not persist: fifteen years later, in the great majority of cases, that boy will say he is a man, not a woman. But the American Academy of Pediatrics is now on record prioritizing the opinion of a five-year-old over the considered judgment of the child’s parents...... this article by Leonard Sax, MD, PhD, in Public Discourse, The Journal of the Witherspoon Institute, tackles the politicization of pediatrics
VII. College Statement featured in a newly published book

The College statement, "The Impact of Media Use and Screen Time on Children, Adolescents, and Families" has been featured in a newly published book: Considering Others: Good Manners to Glorify God. In addition to Amazon, this books is available at Barnes & Noble and Redemption Press.
