I. The War on Psychotherapy
This year is the 50th anniversary of the 1969 riots in Greenwich Village, New York - the spark that lit the fire of the modern gay rights movement in America. What has resulted in the following five decades is the takeover of a new ideology of sex and gender, with devastating effects on all sectors of our society.

II.
The Scientific Policy Committee Needs more Members
Many hands make for light work!
The ACPeds' Scientific Policy Committee seeks additional members to verify references on new position statements created by the College. Members create statements and the Committee is tasked with making sure that the references concur with the material. References are split up among the members of the committee so as not to over-task one individual. If you have an interest in writing statements or in verifying references or even if you would just like to chat with a committee member, p
lease contact the office:
352-376-1877
or by email to
[email protected]
to indicate your interest. We appreciate all help!

Christian Employers Alliance Benefits Pro-life Physicians
The Christian Employers Alliance (CEA) has won a major religious freedom victory on behalf of its current and future members. The United States District Court for the District of North Dakota has ruled that the abortifacient mandate under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), as well as the subsequent "accommodation," burdens the religious exercise of CEA's members and violates the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993.

Leukemia drug shows promise for treating a childhood brain cancer
Science News
announces in a study, published September 20, 2019 in
PLOS One
, the team demonstrated how use of a single drug -- in this case
nilotinib
-- specifically targets cancer cells that have an abnormal activation of a cell communication system, called the Hedgehog pathway, via two different mechanisms, making it more effective and less toxic than combining drugs.

IX. Sexual violence and family breakdown
The results, published in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine, found 6.5 percent of women surveyed experienced verbal pressure, physical threats, physical dominance, or drugs before losing their virginity. Nearly half said they were physically held down. The average age of women at the time of the forced sex was 15 years old, while the average age of their partner was 27, a significantly wider gap than among those who reported voluntary sexual initiation.
World
magazine carried this article recently and ACPeds Executive Director was one of the featured interviewees in the article. See the full article
