The overturning of Roe v Wade restores confidence in the US Supreme Court and its application of constitutional principles. Some are not so happy, though.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

What is the 1854 Texas pro-life law that is still on the books? Dr. Pojman explains that this law has been slightly changed over the years, but still makes abortion illegal in Texas.

Have abortion doctors already stopped performing abortions in Texas?

Have abortion doctors already filed suit in the state of Texas? Dr. Pojman has all the details…

The Texas Heartbeat Bill was passed in 2021. Does the temporary restraining order block this law?

When will the Dobbs Case take effect?

What is the Texas Trigger Bill? Dr. Pojman explains the details of this law that was passed in 2021 and when it goes into effect.

Discussed by Dr. Vance Ginn
with Texas Public Policy Foundation (www.TexasPolicy.com)

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Will it be painful to pull ourselves back up from this slump? Dr. Ginn says: “We’ve been on a sugar high and, at some point, that headache – that hangover – is going to happen.”

What will the housing market will look like in a few years? What about the market for household appliances and even new/used vehicles?

How is “recession” defined? What are experts predicting for the next quarter?

To control and reduce inflation, what must our government do? Dr. Ginn believes that the answer is simple: Congress must stop spending money and the Feds must stop printing so much money. br />
