Judge Strikes down Trump Pro-Life Rule Protecting Doctors from Being Forced to Do Abortions

/0 Comments/in , /by

Another federal judge has struck down pro-life rules implemented by President Donald Trump protecting medical professionals such as doctors or nurses from being forced to kill babies in abortion or make referrals for abortions.

Earlier this year, President Donald Trump issued new rules that further protect doctors, nurses and medical professionals who don’t want to be forced to do abortions or refer for them. Trump announced new regulations through the Department of Health and Human Services that will more effectively enforce existing federal laws that protect the conscience rights of healthcare providers.

Despite current law that has protected conscience rights for over 30 years, the lack of regulations resulted in confusion and a lack of awareness within the healthcare community, leaving healthcare personnel vulnerable to discrimination and forcing them to drop their specialties at a time of healthcare scarcity. . .

In early November, District Judge Paul Engelmayer invalidated the rule on multiple grounds, including a finding that it violated the Constitution’s spending clause by allowing the administration to cut off funds approved by Congress to providers who do not comply with the rule by forcing employees to perform services to which they object.

Late Tuesday, another federal judge, located in liberal San Francisco, struck down Trump’s pro-life rule. U.S. District Judge William Alsup claimed Trump’s pro-life rule is invalid because it would let ambulance drivers refuse to take a woman for an emergency abortion — even though doctors have certified that killing a baby in an abortion is never medically necessary.

Disturbing: ‘Grandmothers for Reproductive Rights’ Group Promotes Killing Grandchildren

/0 Comments/in , /by

As unbelievable as it may seem, some grandmas are advocating for the deaths of their own grandchildren through abortion.

This fall, Grandmothers for Reproductive Rights, or GRR!, is celebrating the fact that Maine taxpayers now are being forced to pay for them, too.

The Colby Echo reports the Maine pro-abortion group is becoming widely-known for its state lobbying efforts and bright yellow T-shirts. Founded in 2013, the group promotes abortion on college campuses and at farmers markets across Maine, writes letters to the editor and urges state lawmakers to support abortion on demand, according to the report.

Member Elayne Richard, of Fairfield, bragged to the Echo that her group is one of the reasons why the state now forces taxpayers to fund elective abortions through the state Medicaid program. The legislation passed in May. State taxpayers will pay an estimated $375,000 for abortions annually under the law, WABI TV reports.

“Now, we’re able to have MaineCare pay for abortions; [it is] why we’re able to have other medical providers provide abortions as long as it’s in its scope of practice,” Richard said. (Read more from “Disturbing: Grandmas for Abortion Group Promotes Killing Grandchildren” HERE)

‘Let the Baby Die’ Signs Target Family with Sick Infant

/0 Comments/in , /by

The parents of an infant diagnosed with two rare birth defects said last week that they have been told to stop asking for money to cover medical bills and to just “let the baby die,” according to a report.

KC Ahlers said he posted six signs around the Franklin Park Mall in Toledo, Ohio, to spread awareness about an upcoming fundraiser for his 4-month-old son, RJ. The father told WTVG on Friday that he discovered three additional signs posted next to his that read: “Stop asking for money. Let the baby die. It’s called Darwinism. Happy Holidays.” . . .

Ahlers said his son was born with two rare birth defects. He was diagnosed with Agenesis of the Corpos Callosum, which affects brain development, and Mosaic Trisomy 9 Syndrome, a rare chromosomal disorder. Only about 50 percent of infants born with Mosaic Trisomy 9 Syndrome survive to age two, the father said.

The family raised $4,000 in an October fundraiser to pay for an expensive genetic test. Ahlers’ signs were meant to advertise a December 15 fundraiser to cover the cost of his son’s additional medical bills. The family’s GoFundMe page has raised more than $20,000 to fund treatments and tests from various specialists, some of which they say insurance has deemed “not medically necessary.” (Read more from “‘Let the Baby Die’ Signs Target Family with Sick Infant” HERE)

Mike Huckabee: Chick-Fil-A ‘Surrendered to Anti-Christian Hate Groups’ and ‘Betrayed Loyal Customers’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Mike Huckabee has long championed Chick-fil-A in the face of attacks from the left but after the company’s announcement Monday to stop donating to two Christian organizations, he has changed his tune.

The company announced it was donating to initiatives that further its “mission of nourishing the potential in every child.” It said that in 2020 it would stop donating to two Christian organizations, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and The Salvation Army, that have been accused by gay rights activists of having anti-LGBTQ views.

“In Aug. 2012, I coordinated a national Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day after they were being bullied by militant hate groups,” the former Arkansas governor tweeted Monday. “Today, Chick-fil-A betrayed local customers for $$. I regret believing they would stay true to convictions of founder Truett Cathy. Sad.”

The prominent conservative Christian leader added that the popular chicken chain’s move was seen as “surrendering to critics and betraying loyal customers to appease those who despise them.” . . .

Billy Hallowell, the author of “Pure Flix,” a Christian production company, said “the fact that the mainstream media has reduced the Salvation Army — one of the most important humanitarian groups around — to an ‘anti-LGBTQ organization,’ tells us everything we need to know about our current culture.” (Read more from “Mike Huckabee: Chick-Fil-A ‘Surrendered to Anti-Christian Hate Groups’ and ‘Betrayed Loyal Customers'” HERE)

Hilarious: Here’s How ACLU Is Celebrating International Men’s Day

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Tuesday, the American Civil Liberties Union decided to offer their own interpretation of what it means to be a man, since International Men’s Day is celebrated annually on November 19.

Although International Men’s Day (IMD) focuses on six pillars: highlighting discrimination against men; supporting male health issues; improving gender relations; promoting gender equality; celebrating male contributions to society; and promoting male role models, as Yahoo acknowledged, the ACLU had its own leftist identity politics view, writing on Twitter: “There’s no one way to be a man. Men who get their periods are men. Men who get pregnant and give birth are men. Trans and non-binary men belong.#InternationalMensDay.”

In the United States, International Men’s Day is recognized in Pennsylvania, New York, Iowa (Luther College in Decorah, Iowa), Illinois, Virginia, Hawaii, Florida, California, Arizona, Alabama, and Michigan; Washington, D.C.; Dallas, Texas; Atlanta, Georgia. . .

The ACLU statement on International Men’s Day precipitated some mockery on social media.

Mark Krikorian of The Center for Immigration Studies: “Our primitive ancestors believed all kinds of silly things about the physical world, like leprechauns and bodily humours and whatnot. But even *they* had a more sophisticated understanding of reality than today’s woke knuckleheads.”

Transgender Convicted Killer to Be Transferred to Female Prison

/0 Comments/in , /by

According to Aftonbladet, one of the largest daily newspapers in the Nordic countries, a biological male who was convicted of killing and butchering his ex-girlfriend has been approved to move to a woman’s jail facility after claiming to be transgender.

In 2013, Kristoffer Johansson, who now goes by Kim Marie, was convicted of killing and cutting up his ex-girlfriend, Expressen reported last week. Johansson recently started a “gender correction” in prison, the outlet noted, citing Aftonbladet. He alerted authorities about alleged harassment following the “correction” and submitted a request to be transferred to an all-female jail. After initially receiving a rejection of the application, Johansson has now been approved to serve out the rest of his time in a woman-only facility.

According to Expressen, Johansson’s murdered ex-girlfriend, Vatchareeya Bangsuan, 20, had her butchered body parts scattered in the forest. In the wake of her disappearance, a military-backed search for her body was launched and Johansson assisted in the search, additional reports mentioned.

But in the end, it was blood traces that led police to Johansson, who was 22 years old at the time, Expressen said. He was sentenced to 14 years in county court, but the sentence “was subsequently reduced in the High Court to ten years in prison for murder.” . . .

The convicted murderer made the request to move to an all-female facility, Hinseberg, in August, since Johansson was “tired of being sexually harassed by male inmates.” (Read more from “Transgender Convicted Killer to Be Transferred to Female Prison” HERE)

SEE IT: Is This The Worst Government Slogan Ever?

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The state of South Dakota has a new anti-drug campaign, but its slogan is raising eyebrows.

Because it is “Meth. We’re on it.” . . .

The campaign’s website makes it clear: “Meth addiction is everyone’s problem. Here’s how to fight it. South Dakota has a problem. There isn’t a single solution because meth is widespread. But we can approach it from different angles, so it doesn’t take over counties, towns, neighborhoods. Let’s work together.” . . .

But Twitter news aggregator Twitchy called it the “worst anti-meth campaign slogan possible.”

“Seriously, we’re glad that South Dakota is doing something about methamphetamine abuse. In fact, the state should be so proud of its efforts to fight drug abuse, it should post huge signs with this logo right at the border.”

‘Kill It’: That Was One of the 2020 Dem’s Alleged Response When an Employee Told Him She Was Pregnant

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former New York City Mayor and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg allegedly told a female employee to “kill it” when she revealed she was pregnant. The allegation was made in a 1997 lawsuit filed in New York by Sekiko Sakai Garrison, one of Bloomberg’s former executives, National Review reported.

Bloomberg was reportedly upset that another pregnant woman would be added to his payroll. “Great! Number 16,” he said, an apparent reference to the number of pregnancies among his staff at Bloomberg LP.

In addition to these two accusations surrounding her pregnancy, the lawsuit also said Bloomberg pointed another woman out to Garrison and said, “If you looked like that, I would do you in a second.”

The lawsuit also detailed allegations of racism. He allegedly referred to Mexican clients as “jumping beans” and told a female employee having issues finding a babysitter that “all you need is some black who doesn’t even have to speak English to rescue it from a burning building,” the Telegraph reported back in 2007.

The lawsuit was settled in 2007, with both parties agreeing not to discuss the matter, although parts of the settlement were leaked to the Associated Press. When Bloomberg first ran for mayor in the early 2000s, his campaign claimed he took a polygraph test where he denied the sexual harassment allegations, although a copy of the results have never been released.

Teacher Says Parents Shouldn’t Have Any Say in School Drag Queen Event

/0 Comments/in , /by

According to news reports, Willis High School English teacher Anthony Lane took to Facebook to scold parents who were outraged that a drag queen performer had been invited to the school to instruct students how to apply make-up in a cosmetology class. In a post that has since been removed, Lane allegedly said the school’s parents were beholden to “misguided, bigoted views” that were driven by their “archaic beliefs.” . . .

The controversy began when a teacher invited a drag queen named Lynn Adonis-Deveaux to address a cosmetology class at Willis High School, according to Community Impact Newspaper.

The school district, which is approximately 40 minutes north of downtown Houston, told parents they were unaware the performer would be appearing in full drag. “School administrators learned at the end of the day that the man was wearing jeans but also wore heels and makeup,” a statement said. “However, the speaker did as asked, which was to talk to students about makeup application. The guest speaker did not discuss sexual orientation, lifestyle or anything else other than makeup application.” . . .

At least one local school administrator and several parents were angered by the school’s decision to invite Adonis-Deveaux to campus. “I put numerous calls into the administrator’s office, which of course they made it abundantly clear they will not talk about it,” said Dale Inman.

“I’ve got a problem when somebody with a false name enters a school and has advertised himself as an adult exotic dancer for men … Nobody would be allowed in a school under those circumstances,” Inman added, while noting Adonis-Deveaux is free to do what he wants in his personal life. “As a parent, I have a right to know who’s in that school building,” he said.

Journalists Who Exposed Planned Parenthood’s ‘Baby Body Parts’ Trade Found Guilty

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The jury in the “Baby Body Parts” trial of activist and journalist David Daleiden has delivered a blow to undercover journalism, declaring that secret filming is now illegal and can leave journalists open to massive damages.

Planned Parenthood was awarded almost $2 million for the filming after alleging activist journalist David Daleiden secretly recorded executives negotiating to sell baby body parts.

Peter Breen, a lawyer for Mr. Daleiden, said the judgement is a direct threat to undercover journalism in California and across the country. . .

Judge Orrick told the jury in advance of their verdict that he has decided to find Daleiden guilty of trespass during his undercover journalism. Daleiden previously lost an attempt to have Judge Orrick removed from the case, alleging he was biased against the defendants.

Planned Parenthood sued Daleiden and his colleagues after they released secretly recorded videos of Planned Parenthood executives haggling over the sale and price of baby body parts from abortions in their facilities. Planned Parenthood made a series of claims – stating they had caused damages because of their invasion of privacy with the undercover filming, fraud because they set up a false buying company, and RICO conspiracy because a number of people worked together in the project. RICO charges are more normally associated with criminal mafia cases. The jury found for Planned Parenthood in all their claims.
