Arizona State Senator Leads Prayer In Tongues On Floor Before Abortion Ruling

A far-right Arizona state senator led a prayer circle speaking in tongues on the chamber floor Monday, a day before the state supreme court upheld a Civil War-era law banning nearly all abortions.

In a video making the rounds on social media, Sen. Anthony Kern, a Republican from Glendale, guided the kneeling prayer group in English while several unidentified worshippers babbled, the Arizona Republic reported. “Let it be so, Father God,” he said, per the newspaper. “Let it be so, let it be so.”

The provocative act caught the attention of Jeanne Casteen, the executive director of Secular Arizona, a group advocating for the separation of church and state.

Casteen tweeted the footage originally shared on TikTok by public affairs strategist Tony Cani, who said he received the clip from a person who wanted to remain anonymous. Cani said Kern and his “prayer team of anti-abortion extremists” were praying for the 1864 abortion ban to become law again.
The court ruled Tuesday that the law could go in effect, overriding a previous 15-week abortion ban and dealing a significant blow to reproductive rights.

"Separation of church and state" is a metaphor paraphrased from Thomas Jefferson and used by others in discussions regarding the Establishment Clause and Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution which reads: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."

The principle is paraphrased from Thomas Jefferson's "separation between Church & State." It has been used to express the understandings of the intent and function of this amendment, which allows freedom of religion. It is generally traced to a January 1, 1802, letter by Jefferson, addressed to the Danbury Baptist Association in Connecticut, and published in a Massachusetts newspaper.

There is no separation of church and state anywhere in the Constitution, the Constitution does give everyone the freedom to practice whatever religion you want though.

This is what happened when you get your news information from a place like huff post.. they are not a news organization they are just pushing an idiotically motivated propaganda..

Separation of Church and State is a phrase that refers to the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. The phrase dates back to the early days of U. S. history, and Thomas Jefferson referred to the First Amendment as creating a “wall of separation” between church and state as the third president of the U. S. The term is also often employed in court cases. For example, U. S. Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black famously stated in Everson v. Board of Education that “[t]he First Amendment has erected a wall between church and state,” and “[t]hat wall must be kept high and impregnable.”
