words

The Trump administration is prohibiting officials at the nation's top public health agency from using a list of seven words or phrases — including "fetus" and "transgender" — in official documents being prepared for next year's budget.... The forbidden terms are "vulnerable," "entitlement," "diversity," "transgender," "fetus," "evidence-based" and "science-based."

I am much more alarmed by banning "evidence-based" than "fetus".

During the time of prayer this morning, someone lit a candle for those seven words, and the entire church erupted in applause before following up with the standard "Loving God, hear our prayers."

Ha! I like your congregation.
