Why Should Americans Care about Taiwan?
It's a tiny slip of an island, just 110 miles off the coast of China. But a narrow stretch of water isn't the only thing separating Taiwan from its communist neighbors. There, floating in the Formosa Strait, is a surprising patch of democracy. To most people, the thought is astounding. A boat ride away from one of the most oppressive regimes in human history, 23 million people go about their days free. And China can't stand it. Most Americans probably don't give a second thought to Taiwan -- except maybe to marvel at how a country with a Florida-sized population managed to stave off the coronavirus so effectively. But otherwise, the average person doesn't pay the area much attention. That, Rep. Ted Yoho (R-Fla.) argues, is where they're wrong. Taiwan is one of the most important pieces ... (more)

Here's How the Abortion Industry Should Be Remembered for Handling the Pandemic

by Katherine Johnson

Katherine Beck Johnson is FRC's Research Fellow for Legal and Policy Studies. This article appeared on Townhall.com on May 13, 2020.

This commonsense rule applies across the board to all elective procedures, but abortion centers do not want to abide by the same health and safety standards as all others in the medical profession. As states seek out ways to safely help more ... (more)

Religious liberty during COVID-19: Get a haircut, but stay away from church

by Tony Perkins

Tony Perkins is President of Family Research Council. This article appeared in the Washington Times on May 21, 2020. How is a church different than a marijuana dispensary? In Oregon, one can open (the hallucinogenic drug store) and one (the church) can't. Oregon Gov. Kate Brown is willing to allow a variety of stores to open, from bars to gyms, but wants to keep churches closed because of concerns with "social distancing." And that massive inconsistency is why 10 Oregon churches are suing the state because the governor's executive order ... (more)
