Finnish lawmaker convicted over speaking truth about homosexuality

In a narrow 3–2 decision, the Finnish Supreme Court has found parliamentarian Päivi Räsänen guilty of so-called “hate speech” for simply affirming a Biblical understanding of marriage and sexual ethics in a 20-year-old church pamphlet, reports LifeSiteNews.com.

Räsänen has been criminally convicted for publishing the 2004 pamphlet for her church, alongside Lutheran Bishop Juhana Pohjola. The conviction is for “making and keeping available to the public a text that insults a group.”

She said, “I am shocked and profoundly disappointed that the court has failed to recognize my basic human right to freedom of expression. I stand by the teachings of my Christian faith, and will continue to defend my [right] and every person’s right to share their convictions in the public square.”

The Finish Supreme Court has imposed criminal fines of several thousand Euros and ruled that the impugned statements must be “removed from public access and destroyed.”  

Päivi Räsänen has served as a member of the Finnish Parliament since 1995, and was Minister of the Interior from 2011-2015. She is a medical doctor, mother of five children, and has twelve grandchildren.

In a related development, the Finish Supreme Court unanimously acquitted Räsänen for her 2019 Bible verse tweet.

Canada’s House criminalizes quoting Bible

Religious expression is under attack in Canada as well.

The majority of Canadian Members of Parliament voted to pass a leftist bill that will criminalize the quotation of Bible verses on homosexual behavior and gender, reports LifeSiteNews.com.

Early Wednesday evening, in a 186–137 vote, they passed Bill C-9, which is misnamed the “Combatting Hate Act.” Members of Parliament from the Conservative Party, New Democratic Party, and the Green Party voted against the bill in a rare form of unity among the usually opposing parties.

The bill now heads to Canada’s rubber-stamp Senate for review.

David Cooke with the Campaign Life Coalition said, “With the passage of Bill C-9 in the [Canadian] House, Christians and pro-life advocates will almost certainly face an entirely new level of hostility, as the door swings open to actual persecution under a cloak of supposed legality.”

The 186 foolish Members of the Canadian Parliament who voted to criminalize citing Bible verses about sexual perversion would no doubt object to my citation of Leviticus 18:22. It says, “Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.”

Trump postpones strikes on Iranian energy plants until April 6

On Thursday, President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that the United States will extend the pause on strikes on Iranian energy plants by an additional 10 days, at the request of the Iranian government, reports CBS News.  

On Monday, the president announced a five-day pause on strikes on Iran's energy infrastructure in order to negotiate with Iran. The president said he's extending that pause to the evening of April 7 local time in Tehran. 

Trump to sign order to pay TSA agents

President Donald Trump plans to sign an order that will pay Transportation Security Administration agents, who have not received a check since the Department of Homeland Security entered a partial shutdown in mid-February, reports The Epoch Times.

In a March 26th Truth Social post, he wrote, “I am going to sign an Order instructing the Secretary of Homeland Security, Markwayne Mullin, to immediately pay our TSA Agents in order to address this Emergency Situation, and to quickly stop the Democrat Chaos at the Airports.”

More than 3,120 TSA agents, who have not been paid in weeks, called in sick on Wednesday, which prompted long lines to continue at airports across the country.

Pennsylvania Democrats have egg on their faces

And finally, Pennsylvania House Democrats withdrew consideration of a resolution honoring March as "National Women’s Month" after a Republican lawmaker filed an amendment to include the physiological definition of "woman" in the text, report Fox News.

What was expected to be a quick, symbolic vote turned into a brief but telling floor moment.  Listen how the Republicans forced the question into the open and Democrats opted to shelve the resolution rather than define what a "woman" is in legislation — leading to an eruption of laughter on the House floor.

Democratic House Speaker Joanna McClinton was bringing a rapid-fire succession of bills up for consideration late in Tuesday’s session when she asked the clerk to introduce House Resolution 390.

McCLINTON: “The Chair recognizes the Majority Leader who calls up House Resolution on page eight of today's House calendar. The clerk will read a summary of the resolution.”

CLERK: “A resolution recognizing the month of March 2026, as Women's History Month in Pennsylvania, introduced by Representative Carol Hill-Evans.”

McCLINTON: “[Republican] Representative [Aaron] Bernstine offers A02716. Will the House agree to the amendment? On that question, the Chair recognizes the gentleman from Lawrence, maker of the amendment. Representative Bernstein.”

BERNSTINE: “Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, this amendment is very straightforward and clear. It defines what a woman actually is, because we do know what that is. Thank you.”

What happened next was stunning!  During 30 seconds of silence, Democrats quietly considered the fact that they had been painted into a corner. If they defined what a woman was in order for the proposed Women’s History Month to be considered, they would alienate their leftist base which has swallowed the woke transgender agenda -- hook, line and sinker. Put bluntly, Democrats believe that a man, pretending to be a woman, is a woman!

There was movement at the dais. So, this is what House Majority Leader Joanna McClinton declared.

McCLINTON: “The resolution is temporarily over.”

(Republicans laugh out loud on the Pennsylvania House floor)

You can hear the Republicans laughing out loud at the utter foolishness of the hypocritical Democrats who want to look like they are championing women but oddly cannot even agree with the biological definition of what a woman is.

McClinton immediately turned to the clerk to read the next piece of legislation.

In an interview Wednesday, GOP Rep. Bernstine defended his amendment as a common sense measure, saying that defining a woman as having XX chromosomes should not be controversial. The Republican said, "They pulled [the Women’s History Month] because they were scared to define what a woman actually is."

Jason Gottesman, spokesman for the House Republican Caucus, further told Fox News that "if Democrats want to celebrate what they refuse to define, it is clear they do not take this issue seriously."

In Matthew 19:4, Jesus asked, “Haven’t you read, that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female?’”
