Ben Carson Delivers Truth Bomb to Dems: ‘You Take Care of Your Own First’

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Blaze. Democratic House lawmakers expressed outrage at a proposed plan by Housing and Urban Development to prohibit families led by illegal immigrants from living in federally-subsidized homes, according to The Hill.

HUD Secretary Ben Carson was testifying before the House Financial Services Committee on Tuesday, and was made to respond to fierce criticism of a plan the department estimates could result in 32,000 households being subject to eviction.

“It’s not that we’re cruel, mean-hearted,” Carson told the committee. “It’s that we are logical. This is common sense. You take care of your own first.”

Currently, families that include both legal residents/U.S. citizens and illegal immigrants are eligible to live in federal housing. HUD is proposing tightening up that rule so that only families that are fully legal can take advantage of the housing aid.

The likely result is thousands of families with one or more illegal parent who have legal children will be forced to move out of federal housing. (Read more from “Ben Carson Delivers Truth Bomb to Dems: ‘You Take Care of Your Own First'” HERE)

Carson on HUD Eviction Plan: ‘You Take Care of Your Own First’

By The Hill. . .HUD estimates that 32,000 federally subsidized households and 55,000 children would be subject to evictions under its proposal. That could force thousands of U.S.-born children of undocumented immigrants, along with legal permanent residents, refugees, and asylum-seekers, into homelessness.

“I hope and pray that you rethink that,” said Rep. Juan Vargas (D-Calif.), adding that he couldn’t believe “that this rule could come from you.”

“I don’t think you’re mean-spirited at all,” Vargas continued. “I have to say, taking these 55,000 children and putting them on the street is mean-spirited. I don’t think it’s your nature.”

Carson and House Republicans insisted Tuesday that the evictions are necessary to comply with federal law and cut down a waiting list of more than 4 million U.S. citizens seeking HUD-subsidized housing.

“It’s not that we’re cruel, mean-hearted. It’s that we are logical,” Carson said. “This is common sense. You take care of your own first.” (Read more from “Carson on HUD Eviction Plan: ‘You Take Care of Your Own First'” HERE)

State House Passes Bill for Chick-Fil-A and Libs Are Freaking Out

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Tuesday, the Texas House passed SB 1978, the so-called “Save Chick-fil-A” bill, engendering blowback from Democrats and LGBTQ activists. The bill passed 79-64 after passing the Texas Senate 19-12 last week. It now heads for the desk of Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who has left little doubt he will sign the bill into law.

On Monday, as CNN reported, Democratic Rep. Julie Johnson, a member of the Texas House’s LGBTQ caucus, opined that the bill was discriminatory, saying, “While I’m sure the intent of this bill is to protect individual freedoms, in reality it would provide a segue for individuals looking to circumvent the rules of the law in the name of religion. Private businesses could legally refuse service to families like mine based on the owners’ religious belief.”

Rep. Jessica Gonzalez, also a member of the LGBTQ caucus, spoke of the death of Muhlaysia Booker, a Dallas transgender woman who was shot and killed in East Dallas over the weekend, saying, “Her death occurred hours before 78 members of the Texas House of Representatives voted in favor of Senate Bill 1978, a bill that codifies discrimination under the guise of religious freedom. Ms. Booker’s death is a tragic reminder that bills like SB 1978 foment hatred and endanger the lives of all minority Texans. As the vice chair of the House LGBTQ caucus, I will continue to fight against any legislation that attacks Texans for who they love or how they identify.”

The women were countered by Republican state Rep. Matt Krause, the author of the House bill, who stated there’s “no discriminatory intent in (the bill) at all,” adding, “We want to make sure that if you give to the Salvation Army, you’re not labeled bigoted or discriminatory.”

The bill states, “Notwithstanding any other law, a governmental entity may not take any adverse action against any person based wholly or partly on the person’s membership in, affiliation with, or contribution, donation, or other support provided to a religious organization.” (Read more from “State House Passes a Bill for Chick-Fil-A and Libs Are Freaking Out” HERE)

Dem Who Attacked Pro-Life Teens Apologizes… To Abortion Supporters

/0 Comments/in , /by

Pennsylvania Democrat Rep. Brian Sims sent out a fundraising email in which he repeated how “angry” he is and doubled down on his attacks against pro-life protesters praying outside of Planned Parenthood abortion clinics.

In a fundraising email letter, published by New York Post reporter Salena Zito, Sims urged people to contribute to Planned Parenthood. He apologized to abortion advocates because his “aggressive” and “inappropriate” behavior toward the pro-life protesters created a “distraction” from support for the abortion vendor.

Meanwhile, the lawmaker, who identifies himself as an LGBTQ activist and the first openly gay lawmaker in Pennsylvania, had no real apology for pro-life supporters for berating, bullying, and threatening to dox them. Instead, he doubled down on his rebukes of their prayerful protests outside of Planned Parenthood clinics.

“I’m angry that pro-life protesters use white privilege and racism to attack people of color in my district and across the nation, for seeking critical health care,” he wrote, continuing:

I’m angry that despite abortion being legal everywhere, anti-choice zealots are causing panic, anger, confusion, and rage for so many women. I’m angry that little by little what amount of abortion and reproductive care that we have will crumble to Republican legislatures and legislation. I’m angry that women can’t access the care they need and deserve.

Surprise! Learning About Cotton in School Is Now Considered Racist

/0 Comments/in , /by

I currently live in Arlington, Va., and do not vote in local elections. It’s not that I don’t want to vote, but there is literally no one even close to sniffing on the ballots who could even pretend to be anywhere close to being a conservative. The problem isn’t my lack of desire, it’s that I don’t have anyone to vote for. As one of the most progressively leftist communities in this country, my local government is completely devoid of any representation of my beliefs and values. So, I was not surprised to read ARLNow’s article about an Arlington elementary school teacher who has found herself in hot water for having her students study cotton. . .

Catherine Ashby, the Director of Communications for [Arlington Public Schools], tells ARLnow that a teacher planted cotton seeds in pots as an experiment to see how they would grow. Social media posts about the experiment from the teacher prompted objections from other educators.

“She tweeted about her experiment and what she was growing, and that’s what got other staff members upset about what she was doing,” said Ashby.

. . .

One Twitter user, who said her name was R. Jones, shared a screenshot of the email. She told ARLnow that a school staff member had forwarded it to her and they were both “angry and offended” about the racial undertones of a teacher planting cotton.

Oh, my word! Angry and offended about the racial undertones of a teacher planting cotton?!? (Read more from “Surprise! Learning About Cotton in School Is Now Considered Racist” HERE)

Jim Carrey Posts Arguably the Most Graphic and Accurate Description of Abortion While Attempting to Criticize Alabama Governor

/0 Comments/in , /by

Far-left Hollywood actor and recent political cartoonist Jim Carrey posted a grotesque, but ultimately accurate depiction of abortion in an attempt to criticize Alabama Governor Kay Ivey after she signed legislation which bans abortion, even in the cases of incest and rape. In doing so Carrey’s cartoon gave a glimpse of what actually happens during an abortion – a human life with full potential is killed, and in many cases literally vacuumed out of the womb without regard. . .

Since then, social media has been inundated with thousands, if not millions, of posts with inaccurate information such as the idea that human life is not killed during an abortion. However, Carrey’s cartoon shows quite the opposite of those sorts of fallacies.

In fact, what is being shown in Carrey’s cartoon of Gov. Ivery resembles an “aspiration abortion” where the baby inside the women is more or less suctioned out with an extremely high volume vacuum.

As www.abortionprocedures.com notes, “A suction, or aspiration, D&C abortion is performed in-clinic. Prior to the abortion, the woman should receive an exam that includes an ultrasound in order to confirm that she is pregnant and diagnose any complicating factors, such as a tubal, or ectopic, pregnancy. An abortionist uses metal rods or medication to dilate the woman’s cervix and gain access to the uterus, where the baby resides. The abortionist then inserts a suction catheter to vacuum the child from the womb. The suction machine has a force approximately 10 to 20 times the force of a household vacuum cleaner. The procedure is completed as the abortionist uses a sharp metal device called a curette to empty the remains of the child from the mother’s uterus.” . . .

As for Carrey’s glib and crude remarks about the cartoon itself as well as Gov. Ivey, the actor is unwittingly showing that the baby inside the mother’s womb is indeed life who has a future ahead with untold potential at all stages of pregnancy.

Abortion Activist Model Believes Killing Black Babies Is a Public Service

/0 Comments/in , /by

Left-wing activist Emily Ratajkowski is making an anti-science argument to justify the murder of unborn black children as a means to lower the prison population.

And I use the term “anti-science” because Ratajkowski’s racist appeal to decrease the black prison population as some kind of public service is purely driven by a sense of supremacism and has nothing to do with facts or statistics.

Here she is in her own words, and I dare you to differentiate this from anything you would read at the Daily Stormer or one of those “white genocide” sites [emphasis added]:

This week, 25 old white men voted to ban abortion in Alabama even in cases of incest and rape. These men in power are imposing their wills onto the bodies of women in order to uphold the patriarchy and perpetuate the industrial prison complex by presenting women of low income opportunity the right to chose not to reproduce. The states trying to ban abortions have the highest proportions of black women living there. This is about class and race and is a direct attack on the fundamental human rights women in the US deserve and are protected by under Roe v Wade. Our bodies, out choice.

. . .

We’ll get to the facts and statistics in a moment, but this must first be made clear: Emily Ratajkowski’s argument, her rationale is no different from what we have heard throughout the darkest parts of human history from the KKK, Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger’s hideous sentiments about black Americans, or from the Nazis about any non-Aryan race.

Dems Trying to BOYCOTT Alabama over Pro-Life Bill

/0 Comments/in , /by

Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold is calling for a boycott of the state of Alabama, following the signing of a controversial bill outlawing abortion. Alabama Governor Kay Ivey signed the bill into law on Wednesday night.

It is the most restrictive abortion ban passed in the United States since Roe v. Wade became law in 1973. . .

Pro-abortion critics of the bill have taken issue with the fact that, in addition to banning abortion procedures, the legislation does not include exceptions for rape or incest.

“This restrictive law, which does not even allow exceptions for incest and rape, is appalling,” Griswold said in a statement. “We should not spend Colorado state resources in a state that restricts women’s basic rights to health care.”

Griswold on Thursday said that Colorado Department of State employees regularly travel to the Election Center in Auburn, Alabama to receive Certified Election Registration Administrator training and certification. She is now calling on the Election Center to relocate out of Alabama, and said she no longer allow her employees to travel there for work purposes.

I Am the 1 Percent Used to Justify 100 Percent of Abortions

/0 Comments/in , /by

[T]here’s the horrific tragedy of rape, which the Left is relentlessly exploiting. Never mind they ignore it when Planned Parenthood fails to report the rape of underage victims. Those rape situations don’t bother them. No. Only when they realize how potent it is to use the 1% to justify 100% of abortions.

I am that 1 percent.

My biological mother was raped, yet she rejected the violence of abortion. I was adopted and loved instead. I’m not the “residue of the rapist”, as Senator Vivian Davis Figures described those like me who were conceived in rape. I’m a human being with equal worth to anyone planned. I couldn’t control the circumstances of my conception. Could you, senator?

As an adoptee who grew up wanted and loved in a multiracial family of 15 and as an adoptive father with four children, I’m here to say there’s another side of this painful issue. There are others like me who were conceived in the violence of rape, like my friend Rebecca Kiessling, an attorney and passionate defender of life. There’s the former Miss Pennsylvania, Valerie Gatto, Trayvon Clifton, Monica Kelsey, Jim Sable, Pam Stenzel, and many more whose stories offer a different perspective than mainstream media’s myopic pro-abortion view. There are women who became mothers from rape who courageously chose life, like Jennifer Christie, Liz Carl, and Rebekah Berg.

I mean, who really are the extremists here? Those who think that every human being has the right to life? Or people who celebrate the needless slaughter of 1 million innocent humans each year in America? People who boast about having their abortions like Gloria Steinem sporting an “I had an abortion” shirt? People like fake feminist Jill Filipovic who suggest severing part of a man’s penis every time he impregnates someone. People like Cecile Richards who compare protesting abortion to protesting a colonoscopy, because an unborn child is no different than feces?

Doctors Perform Historic Surgery on Unborn Baby After Mother Chooses Life

/0 Comments/in , /by

Medical science continues to advance and things continue to get better for mothers and unborn children who face potentially devastating prenatal diagnoses.

Doctors in the United Kingdom performed the country’s first-ever “keyhole” surgery to repair the spine of an unborn child with spina bifida, the BBC reports.

Sherrie Sharp and her son Jaxson, who was diagnosed with the condition after a routine 20-week pregnancy checkup, had the surgery during the 27th week of pregnancy. The 29-year-old mother told the British media outlet that the diagnosis left her in shock, but the option of aborting her little boy was a “definite no.”

Spina bifida is a birth defect that affects the spine, the CDC explains. It can happen anywhere along the spine where the backbone protecting the spinal cord doesn’t form and close properly, which often leads to nerve damage.

Jaxson’s spine was not developing correctly because gaps left his spinal cord exposed to amniotic fluid, leading to concerns about paralysis.

In order to correct the problem, surgeons at King’s College Hospital in London sedated both mother and child, made three small incisions in Sherrie’s uterus, and then used a small camera and tools to put the exposed spinal cord in place and patch up the gaps in the baby’s backbone. The procedure took three hours.

This was the first time doctors in the United Kingdom have used the “keyhole” approach to prenatal spina bifida repairs. A previous procedure involved opening up the uterus.

Consultant neurosurgeon Bassel Zebian explained that, while the second-trimester procedure isn’t a cure for the defect, “improving the function of the lower limbs may be the difference between someone walking and someone not walking later in life.”

Jaxson arrived a few weeks early and spent some time in the NICU, but his mother says he’s doing well now.

“He’s got movements in his legs, we were told he’d have minimal movements if we didn’t have the surgery and he wouldn’t be able to move at all,” Sherrie told the BBC. “I’ve got high hopes for him, from day one he’s done things, he’s amazed us all.”

“He makes me proud every day, he’s just a miracle.” (For more from the author of “Doctors Perform Historic Surgery on Unborn Baby After Mother Chooses Life” please click HERE)

Fact Check: Things to Know About Alabama’s Abortion Law

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Breitbart. As expected, the national media have been critical of the Alabama law and have given little attention to the Alabama legislature’s goal, which is to challenge the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision by establishing personhood for a baby inside the womb. . .

The lack of an exception in the cases of rape and incest seems extreme. Why wasn’t that included?

The purpose of the law is to challenge the Supreme Court’s 1973’s Roe v. Wade decision by establishing a baby in the womb as a person. If exceptions are added for cases of rape and incest, then it contradicts the argument, according to the bill’s sponsor, Rep. Terri Collins (R-Decatur). . .

Would this make it illegal for a person to prescribe the Morning-After pill since one would only take that if they thought they were pregnant, and this bill makes abortion illegal from the moment a woman suspects she’s pregnant?

“The decision was based on someone in utero, someone pregnant so we don’t get into conception. We don’t get into birth control,” Collins explained. “We don’t get into the morning-after pill, but in utero, which is the language they used that when a woman is pregnant. This bill criminalizes abortion through the doctor. And not the woman, but the doctor.” (Read more from “Fact Check: Things to Know About Alabama’s Abortion Law” HERE)

Alabama Women Worried New Law Means an Immediate End to Abortion Flood Clinics with Calls

By NBC News. The phones began ringing off the hook at the clinic not long after the Alabama governor signed a bill that would ban nearly all abortions in the state, including in cases of rape and incest.

The desperate women calling the POWER House, which is home of Montgomery’s only abortion clinic, all wanted to know the same thing.

“They’re asking, ‘Can we still come in? Are you still open?’,” said volunteer Bianca Cameron-Schwiesow. “They’re in a panic and they’re scared. And we say that is fine, you can still come in because they don’t realize that this is going to stay open for the next six months.”

If not longer. The law is supposed to go into effect in six months, but likely legal challenges from the American Civil Liberties Union and Planned Parenthood mean it could be years before the controversial Alabama law is enforced, experts have said.

“They are still terrified though,” said Margot Heartline, who also volunteers at POWER (People Organizing for Women’s Empowerment and Rights). They fear “they’re going to be thrown in jail if they go to a clinic.” (Read more from “Alabama Women Worried New Law Means an Immediate End to Abortion Flood Clinics with Calls” HERE)
