Couple Charged After Allegedly Letting Baby Die After Failed Self-Induced Late-Term Abortion

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Blaze. A couple in Ohio are facing charges after allegedly self-inducing a late-term abortion with mail-order medication from India and leaving their baby to die and putting the child’s body in a shoebox. . .

According to Hayes, Gillum took the pills while in her third trimester at either 28 or 29 weeks pregnant and gave birth to a baby boy in the bathroom of her and Mull’s apartment.

“At no time did either one of them ever call 911 or seek emergency medical treatment for the child,” Hayes wrote.

The next day, the two went to the hospital, where medical staff contacted law enforcement. Officers then went to their home and found the child’s body in a shoebox inside of a trash bag, Hayes said. The prosecutor also said that the two planned together to order the drugs and terminate the pregnancy, knowing Gillum was in her third trimester. . .

A child born prematurely at 28 or 29 weeks gestation has a very high chance of surviving outside of the womb if given proper medical attention. According to information from the University of Utah, the survival rate for premature babies born at 28 weeks gestation is between 80% and 90%.

Fire Captain Suspended Without Pay for Rushing Into Burning House to Save 95-Year-Old Woman (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A Georgia fire captain has been suspended from his job because he ran inside a burning house to rescue a 95-year-old woman. . .

Atlanta Fire Captain Daniel Thomas Dwyer was suspended without pay this week because he broke “protocol” when he heroically rushed into the burning home of 95-year-old Sally Skrine last June, WXIA-TV reported. . .

WXIA obtained Dwyer’s disciplinary report, which states, “You entered the structure without your crew members which is in immediate conflict with no freelancing, accountability and maintaining crew integrity.”

Paul Gerdis, the head of the fire union, told WAGA-TV that Dwyer made a “split-second” decision to enter the burning home because the intensity of the blaze significantly decreased the survival chances of any occupants. Gerdis said Dwyer’s suspension “sends the wrong message.” (Read more from “Atlanta Fire Captain Suspended Without Pay for Rushing Into Burning House to Save 95-Year-Old Woman” HERE)

Professor Claims the Way to Fight Climate Change Is to Let Human Race Become Instinct

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Cambridge academic has proposed a radical new way to solve climate change – letting humanity become extinct.

Patricia MacCormack, a professor of continental philosophy at Anglia Ruskin University, has just released her new book The Ahuman Manifesto, which will officially be launched in Cambridge. . .

The book argues that due to the damage done to other living creatures on Earth, we should start gradually phasing out reproduction. But rather than offering a bleak look at the future of humanity, it has generated discussion due to its joyful and optimistic tone, as it sets out a positive view for the future of Earth – without mankind. . .

“The basic premise of the book is that we’re in the age of the Anthropocene, humanity has caused mass problems and one of them is creating this hierarchal world where white, male, heterosexual and able-bodied people are succeeding, and people of different races, genders, sexualities and those with disabilities are struggling to get that. . .

The central argument in The Ahuman Manifesto can be boiled down to this: mankind is already enslaved to the point of “zombiedom” by capitalism, and because of the damage this has caused, phasing out reproduction is the only way to repair the damage done to the world.

School Calls Police on 6-Year-Old With Down’s Syndrome – Here’s Why

/0 Comments/in , /by

After a six-year-old Pennsylvania girl with Down Syndrome pointed her index finger at her teacher and said, “I shoot you,” the school district called the police. . .

The incident prompted the girl’s mother, Maggie Gaines, to say that the reaction to her daughter Margot’s gesture at Valley was far from reasonable, as she told CBSPhiladelphia:

They get this phone call and I was fine with everything up until calling the police. And I said, “You absolutely do not have to call the police. You know, this is ridiculous” … My daughter got frustrated and pointed her finger at her teacher and said, “I shoot you.” At that point, they went to the principal’s office and it was quickly assessed that she didn’t even really know what she was saying. They were asking her questions, and she was saying, “Oh, I shoot mommy,” laughs, or, “I shoot my brother.” The principal asked, “Did you mean to hurt your teacher?” And she said no and it seemed like she didn’t even know what that meant.

Gaines continued, “She really didn’t understand what she was saying, and having Down syndrome is one aspect, but I’m sure all 6-year-olds don’t really know what that means. Now, there is a record at the police that says she made a threat to her teacher. . .

Bearing Arms noted, “This isn’t the first time we’ve seen a student’s finger gun land them in trouble. In 2019, a middle school student in Kansas faced felony charges after making a finger gun in class, while students in the same school district who brought actual firearms to school were charged with misdemeanors.” (Read more from “School Calls Police on 6-Year-Old With Down’s Syndrome – Here’s Why” HERE)

Washington Post Falsely Claims That Hormone Treatments Are Reversible

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .The Washington Post reported youth puberty blockers are “reversible” in an article critical of a South Dakota proposed law that would criminalize treating transgender young people with medical treatments or surgery. . .

A WaPo piece published on January 28 stated:

Hormone treatment, which can be used to delay puberty, is reversible and medical evidence suggests allowing transgender children to delay puberty until they are 16 can lower their risk for developing mental health conditions, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. Children under 18 very rarely undergo sex-reassignment surgery.

The Pediatric Endocrine Society also touts that “the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the largest academic organization of pediatricians in the US, has released a Policy Statement supporting the approach to gender-affirming care” that is consistent with that of the Society. . .

More physicians and analysts of the transgender movement, however, are publicly asserting the claim that drug treatments such as puberty blockers or suppressors are a “reversible treatment” is blatantly false. One of the primary reasons all agree the claim is false is that no long-term studies have been conducted on children who have had their normal puberty suppressed with drugs.

Pornography and Sex Trafficking Are ‘Completely Interwoven,’ Activists Warn

/0 Comments/in , /by

Pornography and sex trafficking are issues that fuel one another, contributing to a high demand for sex and a dangerously sexual culture, activists warn.

Anti-sex trafficking activists who spoke with the Daily Caller News Foundation said the porn industry fuels demand for violent, obscene, or child-related sexual fantasies, prompting porn consumers to sex, through pimps, from sex-trafficking victims. Activists also maintain that pimps engaged in sex trafficking blackmail victims through sexually explicit videos and sell victims to producers of pornography.

“It’s completely interwoven, porn and sex trafficking, and you find the same characters in both,” anti-trafficking activist and SHAREtogether founder Jaco Booyens said. “Many of the women and girls who are in the porn industry are actively being sex trafficked.” . . .

Pornography has become an increasingly divisive topic throughout the world as anti-porn groups argue that porn has incredibly addictive and destructive qualities feeding an ever-growing and demanding industry. . .

Ninety-three percent of boys and 62% of girls are exposed to pornography during their youth, according to a 2017 research summary on pornography and public health from the National Center on Sexual Exploitation. The summary found that 49% of college-aged males first encountered pornography before they reached their teens, and 64% of people between the ages of 13 and 24 actively seek out porn at least once a week.

TSA Agent Tricked Traveler Into Baring Breasts

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A federal Transportation Security Administration agent tricked a traveler into twice showing him her breasts as she went through security at one of the world’s busiest airports, California’s attorney said.

Attorney General Xavier Becerra said Johnathon Lomeli, 22, was working at Los Angeles International Airport in June when he used fraud or deceit to falsely imprison the woman. Lomeli was arrested early Thursday at his home.

He first said he had to look inside her bra to make sure she wasn’t hiding anything, then had her hold her pants away from her waist so he could look inside, she told investigators.

He subsequently took her to what he said would be a private room for more security screening, according to an arrest affidavit. But once they were alone on an elevator, she said he told her he could do the screening right there.

The woman said Lomeli told her he had to make sure she still had nothing in her bra, requiring her to lift her shirt “to show me your full breasts.” He also again looked down her pants, she said, before telling her she was free to go and adding that she had nice breasts.

‘Christian’ Buttigieg Refuses to Say He Does Not Support Infanticide

/0 Comments/in , , /by

2020 presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg refused Thursday to say whether he supports infanticide.

Buttigieg spoke with The View’s Meghan McCain regarding his stance on abortions Thursday morning. McCain reminded Buttigieg that he once suggested that unborn babies can be aborted up until they draw their first breath, and offered Buttigieg a chance to walk back this statement, noting that Democratic Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam’s infanticide comments have accelerated the discussion of when a woman should be able to have an abortion. . .

“I’m just pointing to the fact that different people will interpret their own moral lights, and for that matter, interpret scripture differently,” he said. “But we live in a country where it is extremely important that no one person has to be subjected to some other person’s interpretation of their own religion.”

The 2020 presidential candidate added that his point was that “it shouldn’t be up to a government official to draw the line. It should be up to the woman.” . . .

“Think about the situation. If this is a late-term situation, then by definition it’s one where a woman was expecting to carry the pregnancy to term. Then she gets the most perhaps devastating news of her life. We’re talking about families that may have picked out a name, maybe assembling a crib and they learn something, excruciating, and are faced with this terrible choice,” the former South Bend, Indiana, mayor said.

Franklin Graham Dropped From All UK Tour Venues for Speaking out Against Homosexuality

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Rev. Franklin Graham, a popular evangelist and son of the late Rev. Billy Graham, is planning a four-month gospel-preaching tour through the United Kingdom this summer. . .

CNN reported that on Wednesday an arena in Newcastle became the seventh and final venue to cancel Graham’s scheduled appearance, following similar cancellations by venues in cities across the U.K., including Birmingham, Liverpool, Sheffield, and Glasgow. . .

Forbes, who claims that Graham “peddles controversial, repulsive views about LGBT people” said he was “delighted” to hear the news. . .

More than 5,000 people had signed a petition put on by Northern Pride calling for the event to be canceled. The petition argued that Graham has “publicly promoted homophobia.”

Similar protests have erupted in other U.K. cities over recent weeks. In Liverpool, a local gay pride foundation penned a letter to authorities, saying, the evangelist preacher “is well known” for “promoting hate of LGBT+ people” and “openly supporting conversion therapy.” (Read more from “Franklin Graham Dropped From All UK Tour Venues for Speaking out Against Homosexuality” HERE)

A Fort Bragg soldier charged with animal cruelty and neglect after authorities say a dog was found dead and locked in a cage in his former apartment made his first court appearance Tuesday at the Cumberland County Detention Center.

Wearing an orange jumpsuit, Demareo Jones, 21, stood before District Court Judge April Smith, who increased Jones’ bail from $10,000 to $50,000.

If Jones is able to post bail, Smith ordered him not to have any contact with animals, including fish. . .

On Dec. 27, officials at the apartment community where Jones formerly lived conducted a final walk-through of his apartment.

They found a dead black lab-mix puppy weighing 7 pounds locked inside a cage, according to the Spring Lake Police Department. (Read more from “Soldier Forgets About Dog in Military Housing, Judge Orders Custody, Increases Bail to $50,000” HERE)
