https://bit.ly/P2025pregnancyabortionProject 2025 lays out highly charged statements about gender identity and sexual orientation, demanding huge changes in the federal government's approach to “The redefinition of sex to cover gender identity and sexual orientation and pregnancy to cover abortion should be reversed in all HHS and CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid) programs as was done under the Trump Administration." “The next conservative President must make the institutions of American civil society hard targets for woke culture warriors. This starts with deleting the terms ....", followed by a long list of expressions "reproductive health", "reproductive rights", and "DEI."Watch the complete video to learn more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

https://bit.ly/P2025pregnancyabortionThis video details how Project 2025 wants to redefine the family in terms of Christian and biblical values , despite the fact that one in three children in the US lives in a non-traditional family. Despite the Project 2025 claims of the American family in crisis, research evidence shows that “...mounting evidence indicates that underlying factors — such as strong and stable relationships, parental mental health, socio-economic status and access to resources — have a greater impact on child success than does family structure itself.”Project 2025 also wants to eliminate Head Start, with numerous accusations, despite multiple studies confirming the program's effectiveness.Watch our video to learn a lot more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

https://bit.ly/P2025pregnancyabortionNot only does Project 2025 want to abandon abortion nationwide, it wants to a) stop foreign assistance to any nation that approves of abortion and b) rewrite United Nations and World Health Organization policy documents, policy statements, and technical literature to eliminate any mention of the procedure or training of professionals.Watch the complete video to learn more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

And goes beyond the Dobbs decision reversing the 50 year precedent of Roe v Wade, advocating for a national ban on abortion and abortion medications.Project 2025 proudly claims:"But the Dobbs decision is just the beginning.

https://bit.ly/P2025pregnancyabortionWith the overturning of Roe v Wade, States are now free to set their own laws concerning abortion. Women are now traveling to states that allow medical care of the woman's choice.Project 2025 now claims, "Because liberal states have now become sanctuaries for abortion tourism, HHS should use every available tool, including the cutting of funds, to ensure that every state reports exactly how many abortions take place within its borders..."Additionally, Project 2025 states “Comparisons between live births and abortion should be tracked...” which means all pregnancies will now be tracked.Watch the complete video to learn more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

https://bit.ly/P2025pregnancyabortionWe introduce Project 2025's effect on family definition, gender identity, pregnancy, abortion, and foreign assistance.As we’ve spoken of before, traditional conservative values and Project 2025 believe in smaller federal government, believing that controls and management are best handled locally rather than at the federal level.What is so notable then, is that Project 2025 makes a radical departure from conservative values and promotes national and even international regulations regarding family definitions, gender definitions, pregnancy oversight and abortion. Regarding the family, gender, pregnancy and abortion, they make clear that there should be national policy rather than state policy. And they believe this policy should be along the lines of traditional Christian values, imposing those values on the entire country and the world, as we shall see. Additionally Project 2025 claims that those approaches that do not conform with Christian values are seen as suppression of religious freedoms, despite the fact that not all Americans subscribe to these religious behaviors in their own lives.And these topics are of such utmost importance that more words and pages are spent on these topics than any other topics in healthcare.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

https://gotohealthmedia.com/how-project-2025-will-change-healthcare-in-the-united-states-video-5-impact-on-medicare-and-medicaid/In this Video 5 in our Series, we detail how Project 2025 will drastically change Medicare and Medicaid as we know it today.In essence, Project 2025 views Medicare and Medicaid as the source of our US Budget deficit, and that if eliminated, our budget would be balanced. This is a completely inaccurate assessment of our budget deficit, and a political bias against the shared Federal and State support for those with disabilities, children, seniors, and those with low incomes.Also revealed are:the work requirements to be imposed upon those vulnerable populations on Medicare and Medicaid,the inefficient bureaucracies to be established by regulating medical care solely at the State level, andthe view that Medicare and Medicaid are “run-away entitlements” for those in true need of medical services.We encourage you to watch the full brief video, and share this factual data with family, friends, and neighbors so that we all make the best informed decisions in our November 2024 elections.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

https://bit.ly/ScoutingGTHAngie Minett is the Chair of Scouts BSA, and the Program Development Committee. Scouts is now co-ed, with equal opportunities for boys and girls, especially as we emerge completely from the Covid-10 pandemic.Scouting can play a crucial role in helping kids return to a sense of normalcy after the COVID-19 pandemic by providing structure, social interaction, and opportunities for personal growth. Here's how:1. Rebuilding Social ConnectionsIn-Person Interaction: Scouting offers a structured environment where kids can safely reconnect with peers. The collaborative nature of Scouting activities helps rebuild social skills and fosters teamwork.Community Engagement: Through service projects and community involvement, Scouts can re-engage with their communities, strengthening their sense of belonging and purpose.2. Physical and Mental Well-beingOutdoor Activities: Scouting emphasizes outdoor activities, which promote physical fitness and mental health. After months of lockdowns and limited physical activity, participating in hikes, camping, and other outdoor adventures can be revitalizing.Mental Resilience: The challenges and problem-solving aspects of Scouting help build mental resilience, which is particularly important for children recovering from the stress and uncertainty of the pandemic.3. Educational SupportSkill Development: Scouting programs teach practical life skills, such as first aid, leadership, and problem-solving, which can complement formal education and help make up for some of the learning gaps experienced during the pandemic.Structured Learning: The merit badge system in Scouting provides a structured way for kids to learn new skills at their own pace, encouraging lifelong learning and personal development.4. Emotional SupportSupportive Environment: Scouting offers a supportive community where children can express themselves, share experiences, and find guidance from adult leaders and peers. This support system can be crucial for those struggling with post-pandemic anxiety or depression.Positive Reinforcement: Achieving milestones in Scouting, such as earning badges or ranks, provides positive reinforcement and boosts self-esteem, helping kids regain confidence that may have been shaken during the pandemic.5. Sense of NormalcyRoutine and Structure: Regular meetings, activities, and events provide a routine that many children lost during the pandemic. This return to structured activities helps re-establish a sense of normalcy and stability.Traditions and Rituals: Scouting traditions, such as ceremonies and campfires, offer a comforting sense of continuity, helping kids reconnect with familiar activities and experiences.6. Family InvolvementFamily Scouting: Scouting programs often encourage family participation, allowing parents and siblings to join in activities. This can strengthen family bonds, especially after the stresses of the pandemic.Parental Support: Through Scouting, parents can play an active role in their child’s recovery, working together on projects, attending events, and supporting their child’s Scouting journey.Scouting can serve as a bridge back to normalcy, helping children regain lost skills, rebuild social connections, and restore their confidence and well-being after the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

https://gotohealthmedia.com/how-project-2025-will-change-healthcare-in-the-united-states-video-4-impact-on-private-insurance/A significant component of the Affordable Care Act (passed in 2010) is its insurance mandates, designed to expand coverage, improve healthcare quality, and reduce costs. These mandates encompass a range of requirements for individuals, employers, and insurance companies, aimed at creating a more inclusive and efficient healthcare system. Project 2025 proposes deregulating private insurance markets. They argue deregulation will lead to more competition and lower prices. Deregulating insurance markets therefore may not lead to better healthcare for less money.Deregulation may produce the opposite.Without the ACA mandates, insurers may begin charging for these services or not covering them at all. This could lead to a decline in preventive care, resulting in higher long-term healthcare costs due to the increase in untreated conditions and late-stage diagnoses.Deregulation of the insurance market under Project 2025 and Agenda 47 will not guarantee the same level of insurance coverage or same quality of healthcare as under the Affordable Care Act. Deregulation will encourage insurance companies rather to maximize profits, at the expense of insurance coverage and health outcomes.Subscribe to our Channel to view all the videos in this 9-part Series.https://bit.ly/GoToHealthYouTubesubscribeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

While the topic of mental health has become less taboo in recent years, many still struggle to talk about it or seek out help. Data from the National Institute of Mental Health revealed that less than half of adults with mental illnesses (only 47%) received mental health services in 2021.Words matter, and one of the best ways to reduce the stigma around mental health is to talk about it openly, with inclusive language, and encourage others to do the same. Thursday, May 16 is Mental Health Action Day, and it encourages and empowers people to take action for themselves, their loved ones, and their community.Dr. Polo discusses the importance of remembering that the mind and body are connected. The poor condition of one can lead to the poor condition of the other. He reminds us that mental illness is not a stigma, but rather a condition that needs to be talked about, managed, and healed, just the way we handle any other health condition. Mental issues are a part of life, and the best way to deal with them is seeking professional help, often beginning with your personal or family doctor.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
