religious accommodation

On this episode of The Lieb Cast, we talk with legal expert Joshua Ritter about two big decisions made by the Supreme Court. The first one, called 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis, is about a Christian website designer who didn't want to make websites for same-sex weddings. The court decided that it was her right to choose what kind of work she wants to do. The second case, Groff v. DeJoy, involves a postal worker who didn't want to work on Sundays because of his religious beliefs. The court sided with the worker, saying that employers must make reasonable accommodations for employees' religious practices. These two cases could change the way businesses treat their employees' rights to free speech and religious freedom.

Joshua Ritter, Esq., Media Legal Analyst and Podcast Host of "True Crime Daily: The Sidebar", lends his legal expertise to help us navigate these complex rulings, discussing their wider impact on society and the potential contradictions within the court's interpretations. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion that's as timely as it is critical.

This week on the Pro-Life America podcast, we discuss how Democrats are rallying against protecting babies born alive during abortions and calling it “extreme.” Meanwhile, new research by the Abortion Survivors Network reveals that 1,900+ children are “potentially” surviving abortions each year in the U.S. - contradicting claims from the left that abortion survivors are rare. And as some states are setting up to become abortion tourist hotspots, some pharmacies are expressing hesitation over offering the abortion pill in response to the FDA’s decision last week.

Topics Discussed:

• Democrats rally against protecting children born alive in abortions - calls it “extreme”’
• New research estimates 1,900+ children yearly are “potentially” surviving abortions
• The new industry of Abortion Tourism
• Why some pharmacies are hesitant about offering the abortion pill
• CVS Pharmacy sued for ending religious accommodations over abortifacients

First Lieutenant John Bowes was commissioned as a distinguished graduate from the United States Air Force Academy in 2019. 

In September 2021, he was removed from the F16 pilot training pipeline after filing a religious accommodation request for the COVID mRNA shot.

Since then, John has become intimately familiar with the consequences of this mandate on national security, pruning, and the function of the military as a whole.

Today Matt welcomes John to learn more about his story and shed some light on the most extensive purge of combat aviators in US history.  

We discuss the military readiness implications of the DoD's current push to ensure every last member of its military received the emergency use authorized mRNA shot.
