What Will the Court Do to Marriage?

If you get your news primarily from entertainment shows or social media, you might think that same-sex marriage has already been recognized as a constitutional right. In fact, the Supreme Court held just the opposite in 1972 and has since refused several opportunities to revisit that ruling.

1. Obama's claim the Affordable Care Act was a 'major reason' in preventing 50,000 patient deaths - Washington Post

This number jumped out at us during the president's recent speech hailing his health-care law. Could 50,000 people have not died in hospitals because of the Affordable Care Act? That seemed rather extraordinary, even given the size of the United States. We've spent time digging around on this issue, and here are the results of our inquiry. It turns out that preventing hospital-related deaths is one of the least controversial aspects of the much-attacked law.

2. A House GOP leader asked for Obamacare horror stories. Instead, she got love letters. - Vox

3. U.S. has bold plan to stall climate change - CNN

In baseball, there's a traditional comeback after a tough season: "Wait 'til next year!" For climate change "next year" is now. This year is the time and the United Nations' international climate negotiations in Paris in December are the place to secure strong global agreement to curb heat-trapping emissions. A successful climate pact will send a signal around the world that a shift to a low-carbon economy is underway. The United States has made clear that it is ready to step up to the plate on climate change. The U.S. administration on Tuesday unveiled details about itsproposal to reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by 26% to 28% below 2005 levels by 2025. This common-sense and achievable plan to decarbonize the U.S. economy will result in significant cost savings from cleaner technologies and create more American energy jobs to power our homes and businesses. This is an area where the United States needs to lead, and doing so will create a better planet for our children and a more prosperous future for our country.

Robert,

Nuclear negotiations with Iran have been extended, again.

Yet American Pastor Saeed Abedini remains languishing in an Iranian prison.

920 days in a deadly prison merely because of his Christian faith.

How many more days must he suffer?

How many more days must his family ache to have their husband and father home?

At the ACLJ, we've been engaged since Day One. We continue fighting for Pastor Saeed's freedom through our global offices, at the United Nations, and with the State Department.

Every time the Obama Administration sits at the table with Iran, it must demand freedom for Pastor Saeed.

Pastor Saeed's pain is increasing. His injuries - sustained from prison beatings - are worsening.

Stand with us as we send a powerful message to the White House. Bring Pastor Saeed home.

Sign Our Petition: Don't Leave American Pastor Saeed Behind.

Jordan Sekulow
ACLJ Executive Director
