Radical Arizona Ballot Measure Aims To Eliminate 15-Week Abortion Ban

Arizona voters will soon decide on Proposition 139, a proposed amendment that would enshrine the right to abortion throughout pregnancy in the state constitution. This measure, backed by a coalition including the ACLU of Arizona, Planned Parenthood Advocates of Arizona, and NARAL Arizona, aims to eliminate the current 15-week abortion restriction.

If passed, Proposition 139 would declare that “every individual has a fundamental right to abortion” and would limit state interference with this right. It specifies that the state cannot deny or restrict access to abortion before fetal viability unless there is a compelling state interest achieved by the least restrictive means. Additionally, after fetal viability, abortions would still be permitted if deemed necessary by a healthcare professional for the life or health of the pregnant individual.

Currently, Arizona law restricts abortions after 15 weeks, with exceptions for the life of the mother and serious medical emergencies. This law was recently complicated when the Arizona Supreme Court allowed an 1864 near-total abortion ban to take effect, though Governor Katie Hobbs signed a bill to repeal it shortly after.

Opponents of Proposition 139, including Arizona Right to Life, argue that the amendment could undermine parental consent laws, allowing minors to obtain abortions without parental knowledge. They also raise concerns about potential exploitation of vulnerable individuals, particularly given Arizona’s status as a border state.

The measure requires a simple majority to pass in the upcoming election.

Kamala Harris Wants To Force Christian Hospitals To Perform Abortions Against Their Will

On Tuesday, Kamala Harris voiced opposition to providing religious exemptions in any federal legislation legalizing abortion nationwide in the event that such legislation is brought to her desk as president.

The moment came during the vice president’s sit-down interview with NBC News’ Hallie Jackson. The network anchor asked Harris how she would advance baby-killing legislation at the federal level if elected president and Republicans control both chambers of Congress. Jackson also asked if she would be willing to make any “concessions” to get any prospective bill to her desk.

Instead of answering the question, the Democrat presidential nominee pivoted to attacking President Donald Trump for appointing three U.S. Supreme Court justices who voted to overturn Roe v. Wade. She also falsely characterized the murder of unborn children as an issue of “freedom.”

“I know that there are members of the United States Congress who are well aware that their constituents are in favor of the very fundamental principle that a woman should be able to make decisions about her own body and not have her government tell her what to do,” Harris said while ignoring how abortion denies the unborn children the ability to “make decisions” about their bodies.

Jackson followed up by again asking Harris what “concessions” she’d be willing to make with a Republican-controlled Congress. The NBC host specifically queried if “religious exemptions” were “something [Harris] would consider.” (Read more from “Kamala Harris Wants To Force Christian Hospitals To Perform Abortions Against Their Will” HERE)

Woman Allegedly Told Her 10-Year-Old Through Roblox To Drop Baby on Its Head and Try To Burn Foster Parents to Death

Florida police arrested a 36-year-old woman who allegedly instructed her 10-year-old daughter to murder a baby by dropping the child on its head, causing serious injuries.

The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office said in a Facebook post that Tara Alexis Sykes was arrested after they were contacted by the Gulf Coast Kids House on Thursday over serious injuries reported to a 2-month-old baby.

The baby had been dropped headfirst onto a tile floor, and police determined that the child had been instructed to do so by Sykes through the social media features on the Roblox game. Police said that Sykes enumerated various methods by which the girl could kill the baby, including drowning in a bathtub, burning with scalding water, or dropping the baby on its head.

Sykes also allegedly told the child to kill two foster parents that the child was living with temporarily.

Sykes had instructed the 10-year-old on how to kill the adults the 10-year-old was temporarily living with by cutting their throats with a knife while they slept and burning their house by dousing bed sheets with aerosol spray and setting them on fire. The 10-year-old doused the sheets but was unable to carry out the instructions.

Former Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Involved in ‘Violent’ International Sex Trafficking Operation Using Male Models: Feds

A former Abercrombie & Fitch CEO was arrested Tuesday for his alleged participation in an international sex trafficking operation using male models, according to federal prosecutors.

Mike Jeffries, 80, along with his “romantic partner” Matthew Smith and business associate James Jacobson are accused of recruiting the models for the operation. The three defendants were charged with sex trafficking and interstate prostitution.

Breon Peace — the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York — said at a news conference in Brooklyn, “To anyone who thinks they can exploit and coerce others by using this so-called casting couch system, this case should serve as a warning: prepare to trade that couch for a bed in federal prison.”

Peace said Jeffries, while he was CEO of Abercrombie and Fitch from 1992 to 2014, used “his power, his wealth, and his influence to traffic men for his own sexual pleasure and that of his romantic partner, Smith.”

Brad Edwards — a civil lawyer representing some of the alleged victims — proclaimed: “These arrests are a huge first step towards obtaining justice for the many victims who were exploited and abused through this sex trafficking scheme that operated for many years under the legitimate cover Abercrombie provided.” (Read more from “Former Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Involved in ‘Violent’ International Sex Trafficking Operation Using Male Models: Feds” HERE)

Want To Improve the Birth Rate? Stop Being So Harsh on Mothers.

In their quest to make motherhood great again, conservatives have set a very high bar for those wanting to make a go of it. Enter the all-or-nothing mother.

She must breastfeed baby, and if she’s unable to produce milk for whatever reason, she’s just not trying hard enough. She can’t leave baby in a crib, or sleep-train baby, or leave baby alone with his father or extended family, because Mama must be with baby at all times, lest she give baby a lifetime of attachment-related trauma.

Rather than purity-spiraling and leading the birth rate into further decline, conservatives could simply tell women the truth: that they can relax, because there are a thousand different ways to be a good mother.

Satanic Temple Opens ‘Religious’ Abortion Clinic, Promotes ‘Abortion Ritual’

The Satanic Temple opened a second telehealth abortion facility to provide what it describes as “religious abortion services,” and sees the killing of pre-born babies as part of its “destruction ritual.”

Despite its name, TST is not affiliated with the Church of Satan, an organization founded by Anton Szandor LaVey in the 1960s. TST also has its headquarters in Salem, Massachusetts, where it holds two virtual satanic Temple services each week.

TST announced in a press release provided to The Christian Post that its new 24/7 telehealth abortion facility, “Right to Your Life Satanic Abortion Clinic,” will open in Virginia. Women will be charged a fee to obtain abortion-inducing drugs, but the group claims it will help pay for some travel-related expenses.

In a TST document shared with CP, the group claims that abortion is part of its “destruction ritual that serves as a protective rite.”

The document adds that preparations for the ritual include reading or listening to the stories of people who advocated for legal abortion to “subdue any stigmas” one might feel. (Read more from “Satanic Temple Opens ‘Religious’ Abortion Clinic, Promotes ‘Abortion Ritual’” HERE)

Study: Men Who Claim They’re Women in U.S. Military May Have Gotten Cancer From Sex-Change Drug

A new case report published at Science Direct reveals that three veterans of America’s military, all men who decided they were women, got cancer, and that may have been the result of the chemicals they ingested as part of their “transition.”

The transgender agenda, one of two major ideologies being pushed onto America by the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris administration, the other being abortion for all, is misleading at best, as scientifically transgenderism cannot happen. . .

The report identified the cancer victims as men who decided they would live as females, and they took estrogen.

“Estrogens, acting through multiple pathways, have been associated with development of thyroid cancer,” the report said.

It continued, “Gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) with estradiol is a cornerstone of treatment of transgender women, but thyroid cancer has been associated with estrogens. Clinicians should be aware of this and discuss it with transgender women—in the context of limited data on thyroid cancer in this population—to eliminate health disparities.” [This] report was based on case studies of “3 transgender female veterans.” (Read more from “Study: Men Who Claim They’re Women in U.S. Military May Have Gotten Cancer From Sex-Change Drug” HERE)

2 Trans-Identifying Male Models Walk Runway at Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, Internet Reacts

Following years of declining popularity and lackluster sales, Victoria’s Secret brought back their once-popular runway fashion show, this time including two male models who identify as transgender.

The annual Victoria’s Secret fashion show started in 1995. It featured supermodels, or “Angels,” strutting the runway in lingerie and other high-end styles from the brand. The show was put on hiatus in 2019 following public backlash over body image expectations and the general content of the show. Many critics on the Left complained it wasn’t inclusive of body types or race, and accused the show of lacking LGBTQ representation.

In the following years, the brand moved away from “Angels” and instead made ambassadors out of “accomplished women,” such as soccer star and leftist activist Megan Rapinoe, actress Priyanka Chopra, and trans-identifying model Valentina Sampaio.

Tragic Loss: Man Mourns Wife After Hurricane Helene’s Devastation

Avery County, North Carolina—A local man is grappling with profound grief following the loss of his wife during the catastrophic events of Hurricane Helene. Jamie Guinn’s life was irrevocably altered on September 27 when mudslides struck their home, resulting in the tragic death of his wife, Melissa, as they sought refuge with their eight-year-old son.

In a heartfelt interview with WRAL, Guinn recounted the harrowing moments that unfolded as the storm unleashed its fury. Two mudslides hit the back of their residence, ultimately knocking the home off a cliff and into a river. While Guinn managed to free himself from the debris, he was haunted by the sound of Melissa’s screams, warning him of the impending danger.

“Within an hour, my entire life changed for the rest of my life,” said Guinn, who is also a father of four. He expressed his heartbreak and urged others to cherish their loved ones, as life can change in an instant.

In the critical moments before the second mudslide, Guinn took their son to safety. It was then that he realized Melissa’s screams had ceased. “When I got right behind my little boy, I started screaming for my wife because I couldn’t hear her anymore. Then, he turned and looked at me and said, ‘Daddy, I think Mommy’s gone,’” Guinn recalled, his voice filled with sorrow.

The loss of Melissa has left an indelible mark on the family, as they navigate their grief in the aftermath of such a devastating event. Community members have rallied around the Guinn family, offering support and condolences during this incredibly difficult time. Below is a link to the family’s GoFundMe:

Elementary School Principal Says Swastika Is ‘Symbol of Peace’ in Some Religions — And Backlash Is Swift

The backlash was swift after an elementary school principal in Washington state said the swastika is a “symbol of peace” in some religions — and now the principal is on administrative leave.

A swastika was found Monday on a wall at Phantom Lake Elementary School in Bellevue, KOMO-TV reported. After the discovery, the school district said Principal Heather Snookal sent two messages, KIRO-TV reported.

In her first message — a school text alert — the principal wrote that such “symbols of hate” have surfaced in their school and that the swastika was removed immediately, KOMO said, adding that the principal also encouraged families to communicate with their children the importance of respecting others and standing up against hate.

Hours later, parents shared with KOMO an email from the principal with the subject line: “Follow-up on recent incident and cultural awareness.” The station said the principal in the email apologized for not acknowledging in her initial text alert that while a swastika is often associated with hate and intolerance, it’s important to acknowledge the swastika also has deep historical and cultural significance in other parts of the world. She also thanked members of the community for bringing it to her attention, the station added.
