A North Carolina lawmaker says he regrets any embarrassment caused by a
resolution that was proposed and defeated - this week that would
have given the state the right to declare an official religion.The resolution
was filed Monday by two Republican legislators and co-signed by 11 others.The
bill was filed in response to a lawsuit filed in March by
the American Civil Liberties Union against the Rowan County Board of Commissioners,
which court records show opened 97 percent of its meetings in 2007
with Christian prayers. The ACLU accused the panel of violating the First
Amendment by routinely praying to Jesus Christ.One of the North Carolina
bills sponsors, Rep. Harry Warren, said the now-dead resolution was poorly
written. It declared that states are sovereign from federal oversight and
could independently "make laws respecting an establishment of religion."Warren
says he only intended to allow Rowan County officials to continue opening
meetings with prayer, not to establish a state religion.The commissioners,
who deliver the prayers themselves, routinely call on Jesus Christ and refer
to other sectarian beliefs during invocations, the ACLU wrote in a statement.
March 19, 2013: Kansas state Rep. Tom Burroughs, left, consults with Rep.
Julie Menghini, of Pittsburg, during the House's debate on anti-abortion
legislation at the Statehouse in Topeka, Kan.APTOPEKA, Kan. Kansas legislators
gave final passage to a sweeping anti-abortion measure Friday night, sending
Gov. Sam Brownback a bill that declares life begins "at fertilization" while
blocking tax breaks for abortion providers and banning abortions performed
solely because of the baby's sex.The House voted 90-30 for a compromise
version of the bill reconciling differences between the two chambers, only
hours after the Senate approved it, 28-10. The Republican governor is a
strong abortion opponent, and supporters of the measure expect him to sign
it into law so that the new restrictions take effect July 1.In
addition to the bans on tax breaks and sex-selection abortions, the bill
prohibits abortion providers from being involved in public school sex education
classes and spells out in more detail what information doctors must provide
to patients seeking abortions.The measure's language that life begins "at
fertilization" had some abortion-rights supporters worrying that it could
be used to legally harass providers. Abortion opponents call it a statement
of principle and not an outright ban on terminating pregnancies."The human
is a magnificent piece of work at all stages of development, wondrous
in every regard, from the microscopic until full de

<p style="font-size:xx-small;">an, a founder of the anti-nuclear
Plowshares Movement.In Latin America, the Jesuit emphasis on helping the
poorest peoples often drew the society into political upheaval, including
the cause of liberation theology, a Latin American-inspired view that Jesus'
teachings imbue followers with a duty to fight for social and economic
justice. U.S. Jesuit James Carney was killed in 1983 serving as chaplain
to a rebel column from Honduras.Pope John Paul II, hoping to re-direct
the religious order, took the extraordinary step in 1981 of replacing the
Jesuit's chosen leader with his own representative. The society encompasses
a range of outlooks, including tradition-minded men. Still, conservative
Catholics often view Jesuits as a band of disloyal liberals. The day
after Francis was elected, George Weigel, a John Paul biographer, wrote
in the conservative National Review magazine that the pope "just might take
in hand the reform of the Jesuits" that Weigel argued was never
finished. (Smolich rejects any suggestion that the order isn't faithful
to the church or its teachings.)It's too early to say how these
past conflicts could influence Francis and his relationships with the society.
He had disavowed liberation theology as a misguided strain of Catholic tenets,
while still maintaining a focus on the economic failings of Western-style
capitalism and the need to close the divide between rich and poor.Jesuits
also worry that the religious order coul
er, an honor often bestowed on up-and-coming
members of the U.S. foreign service."There are no words for anyone to
describe the extraordinary harsh contradiction for a young 25-year-old woman,
with all of her future ahead of her, believing in the possibilities
of diplomacy to improve people's lives, making a difference, having an impact"
to be killed, Kerry said.Smedinghoff previously served in Venezuela."The
world lost a truly beautiful soul today," her parents, Tom and Mary
Beth Smedinghoff, said in a family statement emailed to The Washington Post."Working
as a public diplomacy officer, she particularly enjoyed the opportunity
to work directly with the Afghan people and was always looking for
opportunities to reach out and help to make a difference in the
lives of those living in a country ravaged by war," they said.
"We are consoled knowing that she was doing what she loved, and
that she was serving her country by helping to make a positive
difference in the world."Kerry declared the protection of American diplomats
a top priority on his first day as secretary of state.The issue
has been extremely sensitive since Chris Stevens, the U.S. ambassador to
Libya, and three other Americans were killed in Benghazi almost seven months
ago. No one has yet been brought to justice.
