Cynthia Millen, a veteran USA Swimming official who has been actively officiating the sport for approximately 30 years, resigned on Dec. 17, saying that she believes trans-identified biologically male athletes should not be allowed to compete in women’s swimming meets. The move comes in the wake of the University of Pennsylvania's allowance of Lia Thomas to compete on the university women's swimming team after three years of competing on the men's team. "Everything fair about swimming is being destroyed," Millen wrote in her resignation letter.

The Washington Post reported Monday that in light of an abortion case that was recently argued before the U.S. Supreme Court that has the potential to change abortion legal precedent in the country, there has been an uptick in social activity suggesting that vasectomies are a way men can show solidarity. Some legislators are responding to abortion laws, such as Texas's heartbeat law, by introducing "parody" legislation. Pennsylvania state Rep. Chris Rabb, a Democrat, introduced such legislation that would require men to have vasectomies when they turn 40 or after the birth of their third child. Jennifer Roback Morse, author and founder of the Louisiana-based Christian coalition Ruth Institute, notes that such a "parody" bill is revealing, saying, "he inadvertently disclosed that limiting population is the real goal of so-called reproductive rights."

Mark Tooley, editor of the Institute on Religion and Democracy's journal, Providence, writes about the life of South African Anglican Archbishop Desmond Tutu and several takeaways from his life and mission, particularly as a Christian who was both opposed to Apartheid and violent revolution. "Tutu at his best brought a Christian anthropology to South African politics. He wanted justice but also harmony and peace," Tooley says of Tutu.

India’s federal government has announced it will block foreign donations to a Christian missionary group founded by Mother Teresa amid a rise in attacks on religious minorities in the country. On Christmas Day, India’s Ministry of Home Affairs said they found “adverse inputs” when reviewing the Missionaries of Charity’s renewal application. As a result, the faith-based nonprofit no longer meets eligibility requirements under the Foreign Contributions Regulation Act.

CP Voices contributor Michael Brown shares a video where he debates with gay pastor Brandon Robertson on the newly launched AWKNG TV network's "That's Debatable." Pointing to research on a growing number of young adults who identify as LGBT, Brown calls on Christians to pray for Robertson and warns, "[A] watered-down Gospel is no Gospel at all. And in the end, it will drive people away from the truth and from the Lord. It has no ability to fend off the deception of the world, and it has no power to transform."
