Faith on Trial is where we examine the influence of law and society on people of faith. Here we will look at those cases and events that impinge on the rights of people to fully practice their faith. Faith on Trial is heard every Saturday at 2 p.m. and Sunday at 9 p.m. on the Iowa Catholic Radio Network and anytime on our podcast at : https://iowacatholicradio.com/faith-on-trial/.

PlanB, student free speech, HHS mandate on this week’s program
On our
program this week we’ll have Anna Higgins, Director of the Center for Human
Dignity at the Family Research Council, and Erin Mersino, an attorney with the
Thomas More Law Center. This will be
Anna’s second guest appearance with us and she will be filling us in on the new
PlanB rules soon to be adopted by the Obama Administration. In short, PlanB, the “emergency contraceptive,”
also acts as an abortion drug and will be available over-the-counter to anyone,
regardless of age. There are some
obvious pitfalls with this and Anna will tell us about them. Following Anna will be Erin Mersino on a case
she won just this week for a 16 year-old who had been disciplined and thrown
out of his high school class for disagreeing with his teacher’s support for
homosexual marriage. The case strikes a
blow for the First Amendment freedoms for students. In addition, Erin will also update us on the
current status of the HHS mandate litigation in which she is involved. It will be another interesting program on
Faith on Trial this week, so check out times (and website) then check in with
us! And don't forget to "Like" us on Facebook.
