A nearly 50-year-old federal law backed by Republicans allows the use of federal dollars for abortions in cases of rape, incest or the life of the pregnant person. That so-called Hyde Amendment, which is folded into spending bills, is less stringent than new or planned abortion bans in some GOP-led states, where governors and lawmakers want to remove exceptions for rape and incest.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I have prostate cancer. My PSA levels were as high as 48, and I’m taking medication to lower the numbers to 40. My urologist has recommended a high-intensity focused ultrasound after reviewing my MRI and biopsy results. Apparently, the cancer has not spread beyond the prostate. I was told that this procedure is much better for recovery purposes, as well as for quality of life afterward. The procedure is done via sound waves to focus on the area without having to damage anything around it. When the doctor explained to me that I would not have any of the side effects from the standard surgery, I was on board. Have you heard of HIFU, and if so, what do you think about it? -- J.W.

How can Christians love one another despite political differences? It depends on our perspectives as we ask the question. If our first thought or feeling involves thinking of “them” as a problem, or of “them” as “members of another faction” who ‘”need to be loved,” then it indicates worldly views (views that focus on our differences and separate us). These may supersede views that Christ wants us to have, and we may have even made our political views an idol over Christ and His teachings. In that case, we’ll need to first get the log out of our eye to see clearly to help our fellow believers with the speck in their eyes.
Today many are caught up with the challenge of getting into the mind of God with a human attempt to think in terms of the reasoning and the rationale of how God thinks. Adding politics to the equation creates more confusion because in many instances some want to suggest that there is a blue God, or a red God, or that God sits on the fence, and He leans in one direction or the other. This leaves us in a quandary, as we try to figure out where God is in the focus of politics and life.
