In this week’s Everyday Truth episode, Judge and Sarah address the deeply concerning ruling from Indiana’s Court of Appeals that grants exemptions to the state’s abortion ban based on a “sincerely held religious belief.” This ruling, which invokes Indiana’s religious freedom protections, allows women to claim religious grounds for abortion, potentially up to the point of birth. This development has sparked national debate, and Judge, drawing from his extensive background in the judicial system, highlights how such a ruling could set a dangerous precedent, further complicating the boundaries between legal rights and religious protections. Judge warns of the potential for this ruling to encourage similar claims across other states, eroding traditional moral principles.

Sarah responds by exploring the moral and spiritual consequences of this ruling, using Isaiah 5:20 to underscore how moral clarity is at risk when society redefines good and evil. She draws a sobering parallel to Canaanite practices, emphasizing the moral dangers of normalizing such actions under the guise of religious freedom. Concluding the episode, Judge encourages listeners to remain vigilant in their faith, reminding them that the Gospel of Jesus Christ remains the foundation of unwavering truth amid shifting societal norms.
