Take two: How many LIKES AND SHARES can we get for this beautiful patriot, Brenda Battle Jordan? If you don’t know her yet, you will. Brenda spends countless hours, dedicated to saving our country…to saving YOU! Former presidents have asked for her counsel and too bad the current one is afraid to…and he should be. I just wanted to honor my friend, my hero…Brenda Battle Jordon. God has blessed us.
The company is owned by the Green family, devout, evangelical Christians. They believe “it is by God’s grace and provision that Hobby Lobby has endured” and they seek to honor God by operating their company in a manner consistent with Biblical principles.”
The family believes the Obamacare mandate to provide the morning-after and week-after pills is a violation of their religious convictions.
“To remain true to their faith, it is not their intention as a company, to pay for abortion-inducing drugs,” Becket Fund attorney Kyle Duncan wrote in a statement.
Duncan said the company would continue to provide health insurance for its employees while they fight the government in court.
“The Green family respects the religious convictions of all Americans, including those who do not agree with them,” the Becket Fund said in a statement. “All they are asking is for the government to give them the same respect by not forcing them to violate their religious beliefs.”

Flint Journal Editorial: Credit Westwood Heights school board member Brenda Battle-Jordan for defending the public’s right to know after Michigan Open Meetings Act violation
Public officials are rarely known to break ranks with colleagues and report wrongdoing, which makes it all the more impressive that Brenda Battle-Jordan has done just that regarding an illegal meeting of the Westwood Heights Board of Education.Battle-Jordan took the no-nonsense approach of going to state police after the board made an important hiring decision — selecting Cresynthia Devereaux as principal of the Middle/High School — while in closed session.
Battle-Jordan took the no-nonsense approach of going to state police after the board made an important hiring decision — selecting Cresynthia Devereaux as principal of the Middle/High School — while in closed session. There are times when a public body may meet legally outside public purview, such as to discuss pending lawsuits, which drew the Westwood Heights board into a closed session last fall. Battle-Jordan’s complaint was that the board used the occasion to discuss hiring Devereaux, and in doing so violated the state Open Meetings Act.
This important law is meant to secure the public’s right to know, but it works only if those who see it flouted report the offense to authorities. Penalties can be as much as $1,000 for a first offense, and $2,000 plus jail for a second. Without whistle-blowing, public bodies that wished to meet conspiratorially could get away with it. Battle-Jordan’s bold response has helped to stave off any tendencies to fall into that conduct.
Among those who took notice was Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton, who affirmed recently that the board broke the law. Leyton is opting not to prosecute on a theory that the illegal meeting was held out of ignorance rather that malice. Prosecution would probably be overly heavy-handed, considering the chief wrongdoers have since studied the law and pledged to honor it in the future. But it is a stretch to imagine they had no idea in the first place that they were flouting a provision central to honest and ethical conduct of governmental business.
From a broader perspective, the incident seems to be a further indicator of controversy and dysfunction roiling Westwood Heights, evident by a rapid turnover of administrators and especially by a recall election set for Tuesday. Voters will then weigh in on the political futures of board President Danny Wilkerson, Treasurer Harold McIntyre and Trustee Chereathe Hollinger. The very attitude that lured this board into an Open Meetings Act violation probably has fueled the recall movement, too.
