World Abortion Leaders Exploit Virus to Push Abortion

/0 Comments/in , /by

As part of its COVID-19 response, the World Health Organization has declared abortion as an essential service.

The U.K. has now issued temporary approval for chemical abortions to be completely done at home. The U.S. abortion lobby continues to call for the Food and Drug Administration to lift restrictions (REMs) off the abortion pill (U.S. brand “Mifeprex”), making way for complete “self-managed” abortions.

Unfortunately, this is what the abortion industry all over the world has pursued even before the current pandemic—for abortions to be unrestricted, unregulated, and do-it-yourself. . .

Gone are the days of abortion activists calling for abortions to be “safe, legal, and rare” to protect against desperate women performing their own “back alley” abortions. Now, abortion pills are the new back-alley method, credentialed by the world’s most prestigious medical institutions.

By placing the burden of inducing abortions completely on women—despite the fact that the health complications that often result from an induced chemical abortion are eerily similar to those of “back alley” abortions—it is evident that the abortion industry has no regard for human dignity whatsoever—for the child or the mother.

Army Chaplains’ Prayer Videos During Coronavirus Removed From Facebook After Complaints

/0 Comments/in , /by

Several military chaplain videos offering prayer during the coronavirus pandemic have been removed from Facebook after a group complained they amounted to “illicit proselytizing” of Christianity. . .

Four recent videos involving chaplains Cpt. Amy Smith and Maj. Scott Ingram posted on the Facebook page of the Army’s 10th Mountain Division Sustainment Brigade at Fort Drum, N.Y., were taken down after MRFF founder and president Mikey Weinstein sent a demand letter claiming they violate the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.

“These videos belong only on a chapel page, not on a base’s or unit’s main page,” MRFF senior research director Chris Rodda wrote in an op-ed for the Daily Kos, adding the group “has been seeing an uptick in a particular type of complaint — overt proselyting videos on official military Facebook pages.”

The alleged violations include Smith discussing the Fort Drum Spiritual Fitness Trail in a video that was posted April 17, saying, “You are invited to pray, to pray for the family, to pray for the sick, and to pray for our leaders.” In another video, Smith encouraged people to visit the Fort Drum Labyrinth as a great place to hear God’s voice.

Addressing the coronavirus pandemic on April 2, Ingram said, “God encourages us not to be dismayed by what we see around us, things we cannot control. We can, however, with the best intel in this moment, place our trust in him, walk forward in his strength, and treat others with kindness.” (Read more from “Army Chaplains’ Prayer Videos During Coronavirus Removed From Facebook After Complaints” HERE)

CDC: Two New York Cats Have the Coronavirus. Their Humans Don’t.

/0 Comments/in , /by

Just when you thought the coronacopalypse might be waning, here’s another set of rules to throw in the mix that you’re not going to like.

In a news release, the CDC announced today that two New York area cats, who live in two different areas of the state, have come down with the virus. They didn’t catch it from their humans because their owners don’t have coronavirus.

Sure, we know you love your cats and all, but here’s what you really want to know. Can YOU catch the virus from your animals? No, apparently.

Public health officials are still learning about SARS-CoV-2, but there is no evidence that pets play a role in spreading the virus in the United States. Therefore, there is no justification in taking measures against companion animals that may compromise their welfare. Further studies are needed to understand if and how different animals, including pets, could be affected.

‘Nobody Told Us About the Pandemic’: Couple Traveling the World in a Yacht Had No Idea Coronavirus Had Swept the Globe

/0 Comments/in , /by

A couple who quit their jobs in 2017 and bought a boat to sail around the world were completely unaware of the Covid-19 pandemic – until they tried to dock in the Caribbean.

Elena Manighetti from Lombardy, Italy and Ryan Osborne from Manchester left the Canary Islands in late February to plan to travel to St Vincent – a distance of 3,000 miles. . .

However, when approaching the Caribbean, they were told that many of the islands had closed their borders to protect their populations from the Covid-19 virus.

The couple said when they left the Canary Islands they had been aware of a virus in China but did not think it could possibly affect their journey on the other side of the world.

After 25 days at sea – without access to news from the outside world as they had no mobile phone signal – they were told they were unable to dock at several ports because of the new lockdown restrictions.

De Blasio’s ‘Snitch Line’ Isn’t Going so Well

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Critics have slammed Mayor Bill de Blasio’s call to snitch on New Yorkers who break social-distancing rules by flooding a newly-developed tip line with obscene images.

In an announcement on Saturday, de Blasio said that the city had set up a service that would allow residents to snap a photo of an offending person or crowd, set the location, and text it to the number 311-692.

But some New Yorkers had other plans, sending in the likes of “d**k pics” and pictures of them flicking off the system.

In other images, reported by the New York Post, de Blasio could be seen with a Hitler mustache edit onto his face, while another showed a series of candies shaped like penises and a sign saying “EAT A BAG OF D**KS.”

There were also more direct attacks at de Blasio himself, with individuals sharing images of the mayor dropping the Staten Island groundhog, and others forwarding coverage of de Blasio heading to the gym – an act that garnered criticism for breaking social distancing rules.

REPORT: Coronavirus Vaccine Development Companies Using Aborted Fetal Cells

/0 Comments/in , , /by

. . .Pro-life organization Children of God for Life, which focuses on the question of ethical vaccines, had found out that several of the leading COVID-19 vaccine developments are using aborted fetal cells.

Debi Vinnedge, executive director of Children of God for Life, said “her heart sank when she discovered that Spike protein,” which is part of a vaccine being developed by Moderna, “was produced using HEK 293 aborted fetal cells.”

Similarly, a vaccine developer owned by Johnson & Johnson “is using [its] PER C6 Ad5 technology, derived from an aborted baby’s retinal tissue.”

According to Children of God for Life, during a hearing of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), a physician revealed how he harvested the fetal cells.

“So I isolated retina from a fetus, from a healthy fetus as far as could be seen, of 18 weeks old,” Alex van der Eb said. “There was nothing special with a family history or the pregnancy was completely normal up to the 18 weeks, and it turned out to be a socially indicated abortus — abortus provocatus, and that was simply because the woman wanted to get rid of the fetus[.] … [W]hat was written down was unknown father, and that was, in fact, the reason why the abortion was requested.” (Read more from “REPORT: Coronavirus Vaccine Development Companies Using Aborted Fetal Cells” HERE)

President Trump: Dems ‘Go After Christian Churches, but They Don’t Tend to Go After Mosques’; Wonders If Social Distancing Will Be Enforced for Ramadan

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump accused Democrats of bias against Christians and Jews — and wondered if coronavirus social distancing policies will be enforced against Muslims during Ramadan.

“They go after Christian churches, but they don’t tend to go after mosques,” Trump said of Democrats during a news conference Saturday. . .

A reporter asked Trump about his retweet of conservative author Paul Sperry’s Twitter post, which asked, “Let’s see if authorities enforce the social-distancing orders for mosques during Ramadan (April 23-May 23) like they did churches during Easter.” . . .

Trump replied, “I would like to see that. And, you know, I just spoke with leaders and people that love mosques. They love mosques. And I’m all in favor of that. But I would say that there could be a difference. And we’ll have to see what will happen, because I’ve seen a great disparity in this country. I’ve seen a great disparity.” . . .

Then apparently turning back to Democratic governors who’ve made headlines for enforcing coronavirus stay-at-home orders prior to Easter, Trump said he would be “very interested” to see what happens over Ramadan “because they go after Christian churches, but they don’t tend to go after mosques. And I don’t want them to go after mosques, but I do want to see what their — what their bent is.” (Read more from “President Trump: Dems ‘Go After Christian Churches, but They Don’t Tend to Go After Mosques’; Wonders If Social Distancing Will Be Enforced for Ramadan” HERE)

Harvard Posts an Article Calling for a Ban on Home Schooling

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Harvard Crimson published an article by an Elizabeth Bartholet, Wasserstein public interest professor of law and faculty director of the Law School’s Child Advocacy Program. She wants homeschooling banned. . .

The article states: Homeschooling, she says, not only violates children’s right to a “meaningful education” and their right to be protected from potential child abuse, but may keep them from contributing positively to a democratic society.

And it continues: “We have an essentially unregulated regime in the area of homeschooling,” Bartholet asserts. All 50 states have laws that make education compulsory, and state constitutions ensure a right to education, “but if you look at the legal regime governing homeschooling, there are very few requirements that parents do anything.”

That isn’t true. The children have to pass the same tests as everyone else. This is a direct slam on people of faith who don’t want the secularists teaching their children. . .

Here’s What Americans Are Buying During Coronavirus Pandemic

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .As people remain sheltered in their homes due to the coronavirus outbreak, online shopping has surged as a replacement for an old-fashioned trip to the store. In addition to the overall boom in e-commerce spending, sales data reveals that following an initial stockpiling of goods, many online shoppers have shifted their focus to entertainment products such as books and games as they adjust to the new normal of life in quarantine.

E-commerce spending in the U.S. is up more than 30% from the beginning of March through mid-April compared with the same period last year, according to market research firm Rakuten Intelligence. That is significantly more growth — about 50% more — than the annual 20% growth in online shopping the firm has become accustomed to seeing in recent years.

This snapshot of the economy paints a picture of both what Americans are buying and how shopper priorities have shifted over the course of the extended quarantine period.

It also offers a stark contrast to recently released figures on U.S. retail sales, which include estimates for brick-and-mortar businesses. The 8.7% plunge in March was the biggest decline since the government started tracking it in 1992.

An initial surge in online ordering appears to have been driven by a run on staples as it became increasingly likely that people would be staying home for the foreseeable future. (Read more from “Here’s What Americans Are Buying During Coronavirus Pandemic” HERE)

Report: Female Prison Guards Are Being Raped by Transgender ‘Women’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Female prison officers have been raped by male-bodied inmates who self-identify as trans women, a former Minister has revealed.

The disclosure was made by Rory Stewart, the ex-Tory Cabinet Minister who oversaw prisons in 2018 and 2019 and who is now running as an independent candidate for Mayor of London.

It will fuel questions about policies that have allowed criminals with male bodies to describe themselves as female and demand to be housed in women’s prisons.

Mr Stewart told GQ magazine: ‘When I was Prisons Minister, we had situations of male prisoners selfidentifying as females then raping staff in prison.’

The claim is the first public reference to trans women assaulting prison staff in women’s jails, but it follows warnings that allowing malebodied criminals into female jails puts women in danger. (Read more from “Report: Female Prison Guards Are Being Raped by Transgender ‘Women'” HERE)
