With a woman to look at culture from a Christian worldview on John Stone Street with a point, recently the State Department released its

2022 country reports on human rights practices. This annual report tracks the status of human rights around the world, detailing how different nations handle everything from

life and freedom of speech to fair trials and government corruption. And that's not all. Since 2009 the State Department report has also measured how sexually

progressive countries are tracking sexual orientation and gender identity policies.

This is a way that progressive administrations have pressured other nations to align with progressive sexual ideology.

But pressuring states to adopt soji policies actually lead to increased human rights violations.

Whenever adopted religious minorities are pressured to conform, punish for refusing, all of which leads to restrictions on religious freedom and rights of conscience.

And when doctors are forced to violate their conscience and professional expertise, while the harm to patients could be irreversible,

baddish ideologies should never determine our global priorities.
